If you recall the McLaren F1 car has 3 seat with drive sitting in the middle. It is of course highly uncommon but a logical way to go with driver in the center like F1 cars.

Ouch! This sort of disaster used to be the purview of other car lines. Is it now coming to Porsche?

I met you at petit, can't say it's my cup of tea, but the craftsmanship is fantastic. It has its applications (why do you think the Mclaren F1 was configured this way) it would provide better visibility on the track, it makes the rear seats have actual leg room, and is defiantly a party piece. This guy is just trying to promote his business let's hold off on all the negative comments.

^ You can fit two of those comfortably on each side of you =P
The seat is on a custom made rail system that allows for the driver to slide back to the OEM driving position as well as fore and aft. All electrical systems are maintained as well such as back support adjustments and heating/cooling.
Don't know if they will add the chassis support we did with tunnel removal.
Excellent. IMO. However it wouldn't be fair for me to say. Currently Nigel is taking her around the country for exposure at different Porsche related events. He has driven it from my location (Lima, Ohio) to Petit Le Mans and it'll be making rounds across the south east. My boss and lead engineer on the project has experience in Porsche cup cars as well as different types of prototypes such as SRPII, WEC, and Daytona Prototypes. He loves it. Again all you can do is take my word on this opinion. Test drives are welcomed!
You met Nigel. Who is showing it to the world in person. I'm just the lead fabricator and assembler. We appreciate the compliments. We understand how the Porsche community is. Especially when it comes to modifying the original design. Everyone is very passionate and knowing the car as it was originally I can understand that 100%
Like I said, "this isn't for everyone." However, it's a completely different experience.

In short, chill out everyone. Start throwing rocks when they start doing this to a RS

Now if you just get rid of the steering wheel and put in a joy stick.
