Yet, Another "Name This Car"

Supposedly titled as a Porsche, and a small car manufacturer.

I think it's not bad at all. I've sure seen worse kit cars, and I'll bet in person it looks impressive. I'm thinking really low and really small?

Looks like it was inspired by the Miura.

Every car every manufacturer has ever produced is a "Kit Car" until it gets past the protoype or model stage and is assigned a VIN. (track only cars n/a)

I am pretty sure it is an Aqulia. Short lived 1980's VW based kit car.

The funny part is the guy who bought it was told that it was built on a 917 frame.


And is somehow titled as a Porsche. He was also told that it use to have a Porsche engine, but I think the article posted pretty rules that out and confirms what it actually is. Thanks guys..
As I get updates and pictures of the conversation, I will share them.

What?!

No, no no…

Bricklin; TR7; all sorts of other unattractive crap but not a Miura. And not the Miura’s big brother, either.

Nope.
