Better shot of the rear. Does it a little more justice. I'm starting to like it more and more now.

Love everything about the car except the taillights and upward sweep of the tailpipes, makes it feel like an afterthought.

I feel like the taillights could have worked better if maybe something with the centre reflector was changed? Overall I really like the build. Wheels fenders interior motor all perfect.

I agree with the rear lights, maybe pull off the center piece and put a mess with hidden reverse lights.

The exhaust placement reminds me of the 991.2 Carrera S sport exhaust.

http://files1.porsche.com/filestore....5-0019999cd470


All these little styling cues that look like they're taking from current generation 911 styling (central bodyline from hood through roof like GT3RS, fender vents like GT3RS, exhaust placement/angle/spacing) almost makes me think Porsche AG design guys sat down with this guy and gave him some styling pointers.

I have to say that whilst i respect the engineering and work that has gone into this car, i really don't enjoy the outcome. A complete mess to me....

I do appreciate the arty shot from above earlier in this post, the lines are intrigueing...

Otherwise a thumbs down for me...

The majority of the 962's did not use them. A friend is currently restoring a Dauer 962 and we have the original parts used at LeMans and it did not have them either.

A Hot Wheels of the MW 964 is a perfect idea. Much like the Hot Wheels that needs to be pushed around while you make engine noises, so does the MW barn find 964. Since the build was completed several months ago, all signs still point to the car being a non-running static model.

Hopefully that fella wears a hairnet if he actually does work on Porsches. With such very long hair and fan belts , he might do an Isadora Duncan?
