You have now!!
This is FVD's latest project to roll out of Germany!! This car was built by FVD Germany as a display car to show FVD's tuning abilities and is absolutly INSANE!! The car started life as a stock 1995 993 Cabriolet, and no expense was spared to make it what it is today!! It has the best of everything made and quite a bit of custom parts as well!! This car was built to be his daily driver, which means it was built to be reliable and not too loud, yet still surprise everyone on the street . To accomplish this, they limited the power at 650PS, though I have been told it is very capable of producing 800PS for the track with only a new program and cam's !! Everything was touched upon with this car, from the 3.8 Twin Turbo converions for performance, the factory wide body exterior, the custom English leather interior, and so on. Enough babbling, here is a list of specs (I am sure some are missing), and some photos of the car before it left Germany.

That is INSANE!!! Gorgeous car.

TheOtherEric

Hmmmm, looks very expensive.

Adrienne

Let me be the first (and probably only) person to say yuck. The divets and rivets are just too much for me. It's like somebody used a nail gun! If it were intended for the track, I would understand. Considering the upgrades to the interior, I would think they would have covered up those freakin' rivets, or painted them black at the very least. Ewwww!!! Where is that puke smiley?

TheOtherEric

Lol, that's what I wanted to say Adrienne, but I was trying to be polite to a sponsor. I don't think it looks right on a cab really. Plus I hate to think of parts suppliers spending $$ so lavishly.

Evan,

Great car . . . thanks for the post! Those front rotors are completely obscene!! (In a very good way of course.) I really like the widebodies but it pains me to think of selling my car so I have contemplated flares on my narrowbody instead. This car is another really good reason to go with the flares . . . looks great!

Scott 1996 993c2

I concur. The interior looks real nice, but the body work leaves A LOT to be desired IMHO. Now, that being said, I think I'd like the performance aspect of this ride.

Are you familliar with the Porsche 993 GT2?? This is the factory kit, this is how it was on the GT2 and it is like that on this car... Porsche didn't cover them, why should we?? This is not a show car, if not a cab. it would be a race car... TO each his own on the exterior... I can see how some would think it is over the top, but I think its perfect and factory at that...
Evan

Hi Cy,
No problem!! I figured there would be a few that would appreciate a car with so much money, time, and effort put into it!! The front brakes are MASSIVE and the car stops on a dime!! The front kit has not even been released yet here in the states!! The widebody for sure looks good, thats a personal decision you have to make though (to go with a widebody or flares). I personally like both and don't think you could go wrong either way!!
Best Regards,
Evan

Evan -

Good point. At any rate, I think you've got a very nice car -- looks are simply in the eye of the beholder -- and all of our p-cars tend to be a bit different, which might be part of the reason they're so fun to own.

Scott

AMG ETR

Exactly!! Except its not mine (I wish ).

Well, it's not like I said that FVD's prices are a joke and a complete ripoff and that we should be offended by their lavish and ostentatious use of their profits from us. I'd never say something like that.

However, at my company we have a very clear rule: Never show up at a clients office in an expensive car.

Adrienne

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with the GT2. That's my 2nd favorite car actually, but for the performance and not the looks. No offense, just personal preference. The performance mods are quite tasty, no doubt.

Toga

Man this is a nice car!!!

When accelerating with all my car was able to give, a Mercedes Benz cabriolet just passed me as if I was at 60km/h...pissed off I was!
I like anonimous powerfull cars like M3, M5, Ruf, and yours of course.

DJF1

Maybe on the minority here but I LOVE the GT2 look I would ( will ) do the flares and all without the GT2 spoiler. I used to have the RSCS wing back there on my cabrio and it was bit over the top for sure...Love the clean rear of the 993! Then a nice 3.8 back there, short box, GT2 rims...ohh lala..
Ok got to stop now

Thanks for posting Evan.

Adrienne

Hey Evan, I do have some questions, or maybe just a veiled observation. Why did the owner choose a 993 for his personal ride rather than 996 or 997? To spend such a fortune on a 10 year old car, seems like quite the testament to the 993. Did he choose it to see what all could be done, as a test case or something? What was the goal here?
