Years ago we use to have a guy with a silver 996 Carrera that faked it up as a GT3 and would show up to DE's in a Ferrari racing suit and Ferrari helmet. He would always hire the track photog to take photo's of him and his car parked at the start finish line and pose with his Ferrari suit/helmet.

I wonder how many people will be interested in a $65K faux GT3RS with a salvage title.

Maybe the tiptronic in this "GT3" will simulate the new 991 gt3 PDK ride.....not.

It is done by Wicked, they are well known for taking wrecked Porsche's and Franksteining them into something that is not. The sad thing about them is people actually buy these cars.

To each their own. Some people view a stock RS as "german rice" or "a clown car" with all it's deviated graphics and colors.

It's not like buying 100k+ cars in the first place is "smart."

The interior on the fake RS is pretty bad, but I have seen worse from customer spec'd cars.

For that special person who always wanted a sunroof and automatic in an RS. And no CL's.

some people just dont "get it"....... It is not about the look, it is about the engine.

Epic Fail. I cannot see that business being sucessful much longer if they continue to build junk like that.

True, but we are not the target audience.

These guys might be interested...
