Unique Speedster

naw... not for me

I don't see the image.

I wonder if this is the car in the broken image above?:

I like the colors and the stance. Those are Magnus Walker wheels. Not sure how I feel about 'em yet. I do love the finish oh them. The fogs are aiming at low flying planes.

I'd fix the fogs and drive the hell out of it.

No Ted; here it is-

I love some of the details, the color, and the workmanship, but the overall affect seems  to have some odd proportions that grate on me.

That 911 reminds me of a big blue bullfrog, just getting ready to jump...

Not a fan of the roof line. Porsche meets Airstream aluminum travel trailer.

In my opinion,  its not a Speedster,  its a 911.  What does the back end look like?

Actually its not bad for what it is.  Looks like they wanted to do a 911 with a bit of an old school Speedster flair and that's what it looks like.  I think the roof line could have been a slight different line so its not so prominent, but its much better than my 911 speedster flair.  Not a car I would really want, but I can't hate on it do much. 

Troy- the link is in Ray's first post at the top.

And Bob- I see it!

Roof line sucks big time.  I will assume that this is removeable, and ought to stay that way -- removed.  Sans top, I bet this looks pretty good.  a 911/356 hybrid??  I guess it works, but being the purist I am, I'd rather have all one or all the other.

Speaking of miscegenation, How about this one?

Article says the designer was inspired by the B-29 bomber. Not sure I see that!

Well, in my humble opinion, 'bomb' may be the correct word.  Beautiful workmanship, no doubt, but not for moi.

Lots of nice workmanship belong in other peoples garage.

I really like TRP's speedster but the other one...naah...

Looks like the top is suffering from a subdural hematoma!

Maybe he thought his design would draw some flak in Germany.

Subdural hematoma... very good one, but I think the driver could always get his body in ok, but after owning the car for a while, he found it difficult to get his head in there so the top was a subsequent addition, he wanted to make sure his head fit in......   

His head is huge... like a sputnik... 

It's a Porsche wearing a football helmet. But it looks wrong topless as well. Several SOC people have better design sense than was used here.

That guy is going to be soooo disappointed when it comes time to sell.

Design sensibilities: B29? No. Football helmet? Maybe. Frankenstein? Quite possibly. 

The B29 connection might be the rivets on the flares.  Not so great if you ask me.  ANd seeing the rear, I recant position about 356 hybrid.  It's a 911.  And the side profile is somehow not so great either. Can't put my finger on it, but this one does not speak to me.  Whereas this one does:

What Football team has those colours?
