Thanks. Three glasses of wine and a next to impossible imaging software = that image.

I honestly do it for my own amusement, my wife asked me what I was doing and then rolls the eyes. I thought it was funny.

LOL I was just checking it out again. I think what is so funny is his pose and serious look on his face. It's like he's saying, "Check this **** out yo. You ain't gonna believe it.."

Does anyone know how much horsepower Vanilla Ice's car has?

Fishman, As I rememer Gemballa offers various stages of performance upgrade. Not unlike RUF I believe. I think you could get the Cyrrus up around 500hp if you wanted and had the means. No guess as to what Ice opted for. The Gemballa Avalanche is another of his creations and is pretty unique as well. I think his latest is the GT500 or something like that - 600 plus hp built on a 997 turbo.

I still have my doubts that this is a true Gemballa creation, and not just the bolt on body kit.

I don't care how much it cost or any highly questionable value/depreciation related to its 'provenance' but there is no doubt that that thing looks like ***.

I still can't believe people used to do this to their cars.
First, slant nose 80's 911's are not a particularly elegant looking platform.
Second, make it a cab so it's even more funky just to start with.
Third, slap on some ridiculous looking side strakes because it looked so great on the Testarossa.
Fourth, let's pick white on white for ultimate pimpage.
Fifth, it's going to be REALLY expensive!

(Seriously the only thing that would make this look even more pimp-tastic would be purple maribou fringing on all the leather seams).

I don't care how "limited edition" it is or how many they've sold to SW Asia, people should actually stop, look then start laughing and pointing when this thing drives by.

Not that it was needed but simply more proof that money and style are separate and unrelated .

Just my opinion (so if you own one don't take it personally)
