Ran into it downtown today while talking to a guy at Porsche motorsport on the phone. I tried to describe it to him, but he refused to believe me....


Sorry for poor quality - it's mobile phone camera and resized for Rennlist

Ahem!

What a lot of work...

I'd have to say overall its awful... but there are some nice touches here & there...

The front is just hideous I think - especially the extra length of it - way over the top as are the "fangs" on the sides. The rear lights I like as I do the overall color and rear end treatment & rear arches. I do not like the flames, mirrors or warts. Not sure about the wing seems too odd...

I do like the side skirts - and intersesting that the rear quarter windows have been shortened - interesting look there...

Overall the finish is fantastically well blended into a rather horrible whole... Whoever did this is obviously very very good at execution - but doesn't know when to stop on the design front (bad hallucination maybe) ... I bet they could build a wonderful looking custom 928 - this isn't it though....

I wonder what the inside looks like - interesting I'll bet..

Don't mind the lower airodyamic bits and the rear exhaust treatment.

Something about this car was posted here before, but I just can't quite remember what. I do recall that front end though...it's rather unforgettable.

I just blew chunks all over my monitor!

But - the mirrors are kinda interesting, in a not-so-WTF way!

This car has some pretty well done stuff. You wouldn't know it was a 928 if they had changed the rear bumper more.
