Cool the front wheels match the orange on ethe 4.1 decal and the rears the grey on the same decals...

I see lots of cool stuff
'07GT3RS ==> .2RS conversion with CUP bumpers, deck lid, .1RS wing end plates, Barron wing uprights, CF dive planes, 4.0 look-a-like stripes, .2 Ti center muffler and 4.1 engine work :-)

Such a weird pairing of colors, rims and offsets that I guess it's a development car from one of the tuners? That's a continental european plate carrier so the stateside excitement will have to wait...

Judging by OP's avatar, I think it's his car.

Mad kudos to anyone who'd take a 4.0 and subject it to the treatment of a project car. Bit of a waste, but if the result is one killer track machine this side of a cup car, the ends might justify the means...

my guess is that they didn't alter a 4.0 into a 4.1 but a 3.6 a 3.8 - but you never know

Looks like a 3.8 rs with those front fender covers. 4.0 rs is not bolted on like that. But who knows. Tuners have $$ to do a conversion so it's plausible it could be a 4.0 but if u going to to such a conversion why not 4.3? Mike

With his screen name bet it is a 3.8 RS. Maybe he will post soon and all will be revealed.
