Default Someone turned a 911 turbo into a 944 turbo...
It looks like someone bought a 930 and decided they wanted a 951. I spot 944 rear lights, rear side markers and 944 headlamp covers. No wonder it has only 10k miles. I would be too embarrassed to drive it much further. Oh the horror!

CHECK...

IT...

OUUUTTT!!!...

Whoa! I dont know what to say about this thing. Its ugly....

For anyone who doesnt know, this is a Rinspeed R69, supposedly one of 10 original in the US. worth some change for sure and pretty fast in its own right back in the day. This is the 4th US car I've seen pictures of, I have also seen pics of a white one, a beige one, and a hot pink one that are US based.

Daaaamn, never seen that one before. While not my style, the craftsmanship looks top notch. I wonder what kind of go fast goodies it has.

do the seats imply it's got a jaguar motor?
if so, then you won't be driving it very much.

Looks like a 993 and Testarossa had a little too much to drink one night and this is the bastard child.
