Porsche Boxter Makeover
I am looking for a Boxster or 911. I saw the most incredible looking car that I believe uses a Boxter or 911 donor.
Please let me know if you have a 2008 to 2012 Boxster for sale. Salvage is ok as well. Thanks exotic supercar custom kitcar hand build mid engine

Well, then I guess I would use a Boxster donor.

One of their other models the Vendetta looks to use a Lambo donor. I guess any complaints in the past about low production sports car (kit cars) being improperly derived DNA including Cobra look-a-likes based on Fox Mustang parts bins is being addressed here. I find of interest other parts bin cars, of course that is going to be not everyone's cup of tea, but some of these Frankencars are interesting, example below. 818C kit car packed with Tesla and Volt components is a drag racer's dream https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1117220_818c-kit-car-packed-with-tesla-and-volt-components-is-a-drag-racers-dream Back in 2011 Factory Five had a design competition, nobody liked the design guidelines and many failed to follow them (was not low enough, not long enough, driver not cab forward enough etc...). I soon discovered it was spot on to the Boxster's dimensions even though it was supposed to be a custom cage with a Subie motor. My point being, some of the guys came up with stuff similar to Vex and it was fun if not impressive. So from that background story and vantage point I like the Vex but see no need to molest a perfectly good Boxster.

Like the delivery of so many products or services, it is that last mile that often proves the most difficult. For this car's designers, the front/grill was clearly their last mile.

Very Italian looking, I guess the selling point is Lambo looks with German engineering.
I clicked around and didn't see a price? I suppose I would drive one if someone gave it to me, but if I wanted a Boxster with hardtop (and I do) I would just get a Caymen.

the ''best kit car '' I have seen in person
was a ''real'' m6gt body built by/for McLaren they had 50 built to go on m6 racers to make m6 can-am cars gt eligible but the FIA said NO TO THAT PLAN so the real bodys became surplus but sadly he had put on a VW bug pan and running gear the guy thought it was a real McLaren and priced it at $25k in the mid 80's you could build one of the m6gt replica's that used a steel unit frame with a real v8 for less at that time |

Weird, I can't just post "ROLFMAO!" by itself and have the all caps stay. The site seems to edit it to "roflmao!" But in the quotes it takes, very weird.
