Just another testament to iForged's inability to get an offset correctly.

uh, I don't get it. looks un-drivable. rear wheels protrude outboard of bodywork. that thing will never see the track in it's current form. possibly the most shameless bastardization of a Porsche I have every seen. that wing.... what can be said...

Buttugly spoiler and colors, obvious wheel issues, but the execution is good, except why go through all that and then leave the EASIEST swap of all, the side view mirrors!

What is so tacky is the sticker that says Vortech along with the supercharger one. Come on, are we in high school? Those stickers were cool to me at 16 and probably the ricer crowd.

the only good execution would be to push it off a cliff

Very funny.

They actually purchased the wheels from my last Widebody Porsche Blue and built the widebody around the wheels.

I think if they ran 315/35/19 tires in the rear it would fit better.

Just looks like another SEMA special.

Nothing extraordinary one way or another....

Yes the car is in Indonesia. I think with a decent wing in the rear such as the Techart GT Street it would be a little tamer. That Gemballa rear wing is just too crazy.

Why on earth build a car like this in Indonesia when you have the worlds worst traffic jams and crap roads!? Is it just a show car or is it used on the road?

Talking

Uh... wow. I can't imagine doing that to a 911. If it were destined for the track I'd say it was a nice looking racecar, but with the way it's set up it looks more like it's designed to sit in a parking lot with glowing neon lights around the bottom and it's hood up to show off a huge set of subwoofers.

that's a show car if I've ever seen one, I'm not certain that it's supposed to roll at all. Decals definitely for sponsors. I do like the way the exhaust tips come out through the bodywork/above the diffuser though.
