1/10 993 Body for Nitro RC Car???

I have an HPI RS4 3 1/10 scale nitro rc car and I REALLY want a 993 body for it. I think it's 190 or 200mm?

Does anyone know a company that makes 1/10 scale Porsche 993 bodies for RC cars?

Thanks!

Only thing I've turned up so far is a Porsche 993 911 GT1 body:

However it's not a very accurate body at all.

I also found a website for a guy who mentions HPI actually made a 1/10 scale 993 body and that he owns 1. I have emailed him about where to buy one or to send me the P/N so I can try and find one for sale.

I'll post back when I find out more...

Best one is the 1/10 Tamiya GT2 body found in two out of production kits- the "Starcard" and "PIAA" versions. The bodies pop up on ebay every once in a while. Check out these links from thhe Tamiya Club website:

I've got two of the PIAA version and the body is very accurate but someone told me that these run relatively short wheelbases to get the accurate dimensions and hence you can't use them on much else. Having said that I doubt the unbuilt one will ever get built or run much as they look far too pretty!

Cheers,
