I saw this car at the German AutoFest a few year back. It may not be real, but is a beautifully crafted, and well finished car. I can't recall his asking price back then, but it seems it was close to $100k.

the side and back looks weird, but the assembly looks to be top notch.
Also, given a strong running GM LSX V8 and a 2580lb curb weight, I bet it performs very well.

So does the GT1. : )
I have to wonder what it would take to drop a 993 Turbo engine in this and get the suspension geometry done properly.
Just from the pics, it's ten times better than I expected.
If it already had GT1 suspension and an appropriate engine, I'd be quite tempted ... it's not as if I'd ever get a GT1, let alone risk driving the thing beyond half pace easy lapping (so what's the point?) This thing, you could make it safe (just reinforce that tube frame with a decent crash cage.
