Yup! But can it fly?
Oh man that's beautiful!
I like it!
Either one is enough to make me throw away my Viagra........ 
Cool.
But, uh... how do you close the door once you're sitting behind the wheel?

Who cares??? I'd be happy to just sit in it!

Oh man that's even better!
I'd like to just drive one someday-- but alas, I'm not sure how even that would ever happen.
My, oh my.
I think the world is ready for a 917 replica, with some Polo-style tinkering to Siamese 2 6-cyl 911 engines together. A legit air-cooled flat 12 in a glass long-tail-- mmmmm, mmmm good.
Where's Chuck Beck when you need him?
My buddy Jim Ansite www.ansiteinc.com frequently works on a 904/8 must be a rocket!

One of my all time favorites!

Working on the coupe, I hope!
i can’t tell for sure, but something about the 550 picture looks CG to me. Nice looking, but I’m not convinced it’s real. Then again, I’m looking at it on my iPhone.
Put me down for ONE of these...PLEASE....Let's do it!!
The Spyder gull wing is a beauty for sure... Now you really need AC..
Any pictures with the doors closed? Also the back is really nice as well.
The gulled Spyder is real. Not sure how drivable, but def. exists in this corporeal plane of existence.

Check the Vintech Blog link. And also check here for a fiberglass one in Taiwan. http://www.extremekitcars.com/porsche-550-gullwing/
Hmmm... The real ones are somewhat less attractive to me than the CG ones and the panel gaps are all over the place. Still, kudos for making something interesting.

I disagree. I looked at every photo in the Vintech blogpost and that car is exquisite. The fiberglass one in Taiwan may be all over the place but that Vintech 550 is sweet. And it has a 3L engine so I imagine it does fly.
I missed the VinTech link. I was talking about the ones in Taiwan.

Those wheels probably cost more than an Intermeccanica!

Not sure: IM TOWEL RACKS are $3500
The wheels are custom one-off rims created by Vintech.

Me too, and that’s a good thing. 👍

I’m still dithering as to what wheels I should get for my car. I have come this close to pulling the trigger a couple of times, but haven’t followed through.
