I thought it was a mk4 Supra with a rear glass/boot integrated into the hoop spoiler at first glance.

Actually, i think that would be great - better than the awkward (imo) 599 one.

One for the speed hole lovers

I wonder what the insurance process is like “hello, I’ve modified my car a bit, just cut holes into every structural component…”
How about not having a sig at all?

I doubt it’s ever driven more than a few yards on/off a trailer.

I get some of it, but the spring arms and the brake disk drilled to that extent just look dumb. It annoys me that the pattern of holes on the disk isn’t even even :lol:

Wonder how many drills and hole saws they’ve gone through in creating this!

Reminds me of the trend in the 90s to do this on mountain bikes. My brother drilled out his cranks (at school using the CDT dept pillar drill) and stuff like derailleurs, even the jockey wheels! 😂

Probably fine for a scrawny 13 year old probably weighing fuck all and hardly testing the limits!

This car is probably the same guys, grown up with more money to waste!

This is guaranteed via the copious fuel tank speed holes. Fuel is heavy man.

It goes way back, seventies at least. Often referred to as “drillium”.
