Over the winter of 1988/89, Porsche and March build a customized chassis for the 2.65-litre V8. The ca. 710 hp (11,500 rpm) Indy-engine receives a new configuration through the air intake, cooler, heat exchanger and exhaust system to optimise the aerodynamics and can be positioned lower with a new gearbox. The underside of the monocoque consists of aluminium. The upper section is made of carbon-fibre composite material. The body is now more compact, the frontal area smaller, with an improved air-flow to the rear wing. Weighing 703 kilos, the Porsche-March 89 P meets the minimum weight requirements.
