MR28.913 Blackbird — Radical to the core
MR28.913 Blackbird is a pure statement of intent: a raw, visceral machine built without compromise. Born from the unlikely fusion of a 1968 Porsche 912 and a flat-six M64 from a 993, it flips the rules of the restomod game. This isn’t about restoring an icon — it’s about elevating a forgotten base into something far more radical. Named after the legendary SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, Blackbird shares its stealthy profile, abyssal color and singular mission: go fast, go far, ask no permission. It demands respect — and rewards those bold enough to tame it.

Design
Every detail here serves a single purpose: performance. Behind its narrow fenders, yellow headlights and understated silhouette, Blackbird hides a predator’s soul. Inside, it’s stripped to the bone: carbon buckets, full roll cage, raw aluminum, wooden shift knob — no luxury, no excess. Just what matters. The contrast continues outside: matte black body, gloss black roll cage, white rally-style wheels. It’s not styled to impress. It’s built to perform, with every line and material echoing speed, focus and control.
Performance & driving experience
With 300 horsepower for just 860 kg, MR28.913 Blackbird is a track-ready weapon. Sharpened to the extreme, it communicates every nuance of grip, weight transfer and throttle response. Ferocious under acceleration, surgical through corners — it thrives on the edge. This is not a comfortable grand tourer. It’s a machine for the skilled, the committed, the ones who crave mechanical truth. Built as a tool, refined as a one-off, it represents the most radical interpretation of Porsche restomod by Machine Revival. Less is more — until the adrenaline spills over.
