I prefer it to those silly Ferrari homages that were released recently and its comparitively a snip at £700k.

Can't help thinking that even based on a GT2 RS though its going to be a bit wet compared to the original given that had 845hp, loadsa lag and 970kg :lol:

Still, looks pretty ace IMO.

Is James Attwood (article author) related to Richard '415k Peugeot 405' Attwood? I must know :!:

Why not make a heavily modded 991 GT2RS? 8-)

But why then turn it into a ModTro pastiche harks back with a nod to the homage to the design cues taken from the original 935? :(

Nah - I like it but it should be fully stripped and 900hp.

Looks shit. Either make a new one exactly like the old one or make one to the exact rules that the 935 raced under but with modern materials, tooling and processes.

It stays accurate to the original in that it looks like a 911 with a terrible bodykit grafted on it. If that was made by Mansory people would be ripping their cocks off but as it’s Porsche...

I think a modern 911gt1 would have been a better proposition, much more desirable. This just seems like Porsche have thought “how can we get loads of money out of people by not spending much on r&d? Bodykit- yup, race car parts bin shit- yup. Road legal testing? Nah don’t bother”

and what’s wrong with that? We now have a badass special car that exists that didn’t before. There’s plenty of road and race cars in their line up if you want something specific.

Wasted opportunity, should have been a road legal RSR rather than trying to profit from the past. At least the RSR would have actual motorsport pedigree with ties to Le Mans rather than that thing.
