are the Turbo S door sills Porsche Motorsport?... 
Regardless...
With 4.0 cars in the $300s, at least asking price in some cases, this car starts to look like value/bargain... wow.

I love this car. Id love to own it.
But i think they would have been much better off doing to it to a GT3RS or GT2 for a larger market.
It is a small market for this car as it is an AWD turbo with an automatic transmission which is not really true to the RSR character for which this body intends.
One has to consider what a bone stock turbo S is worth and then figure what it is worth with the body work.
Typically altered cars are not worth more and sometimes less. But in this case it is fair to say the bodywork is worth something and especially to the right buyer. It was done first class with factory parts.
I am actually in the market for a Turbo S and i have bid on this car but my offer was not near what they require but it was higher then a stock Turbo S if that means anything... I would really like to have it as my wife could use awd and PDK.
Perhaps if i had more disposable income i would be that "right" buyer.
I would certainly be the right owner for this monster.
I would love my GT3RS to have this bodywork!

Much as I admire the level of dogged determination to fit a road car shaped peg in a race car shaped hole, the fact of the matter is put succinctly in their own words:
"Under it's (sic) skin, the car still has the 3.8L twin turbocharged engine of the Turbo S "
This is a marvelously elaborate modification to a car that has the intrinsic value and long term significance of a 2011 Turbo S. It's not an investment grade Porsche, it's an instant gratification indulgence, probably a fun thing for a wealthy driver of a real RSR wanting something ludicrously ostentatious for a few novelty occasions, then mothball it.
I'd love to drive the thing, long enough to explore its handling, but then I'd want an actual RSR on a challenging track (which can be done at half this $375K number.)
If there's a Porsche that's worth every penny of $350K, well, there's only one answer to that proposition.
If I wanted something as outrageous as a street legal RSR, I'd go with what Orbit Racing did to an RS 3.8 ... this really could be called a 997 RSR clone.

A year ago they asked $299K.
I've seen the RSR Orbit car many time, its really like it came off the production line from Porsche.
Artwork that I see driving around here once in a while..

I am really intrigued by the Champion RSR, for 2 reasons:
1. The work appears to be absolutely top notch.
2. It scratches the dual-purpose car itch.
However, as some have pointed out, I would not expect any long term appreciation, and when the next RS comes out, this car could become worthless.
