Love it. Awesome. Just so creative. Would have loved to see people's expressions on the street watching this thing go by. "It's the new hybrid GT3"

Porsche keeps nattering about environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency, it could happen

Imagine if he actually put some time into smoothing the bodywork out. That would look amazing

Pretty cool though.

Yeah as I was following the photos, I was expecting him to smooth it out and paint it something plausible, instead of going for the "gold sellotape" finish.

Then again, if the WHOLE point is to catch people's eye and briefly trick them...I'm not sure why he chose the GT3 RS, it's really an "enthusiast car", not a "show car", I would have expected a Lamborghini or something. For all of its engineering brilliance and racing pedigree and even all the bodykit on an RS...any 911 is still distinctly low-key compared to other supercars.

Unless of course it's gold?

Come to think of it, the guy could use his time and skillz to fab up some cool CF hood, fenders bumper as well as some interiors parts for our P-cars.
