Question Porsches?

These are not porsches, obviously, but it shows peoples fascination with them. After all, you don't see people changin their cars to look like Renaults, or Chevy's.

This is made on a Toyota Camry chassis:



Fiat chassis:

Ok do I need a flame suit? but...............

I think the little Fiat is pretty cool, maybe a different headlight. It almost looks like a modern day Abarth.

Didn't take a lot of reworking to make that Toyota Solara look like a 996!

The fiat looks cool and I bet its fun to drive. The Camry looks like a nightmare.

Actually, I kinda did the Renault. It's an improvement from what they usually design, which often looks like some kind of shoe.

I think the Fiat one is pretty cool. Looks like those shrunk-up photoshops everyone was doing a few years ago. I'd drive it for kicks.

The fiat one is cool because it is obviously not meant to pass as a real porsche. It reminds me of the Delta mini.

I remember that- which program were you guys using?

+1 for the Fiat. If you have to drive something that small, it may as well look good!

Cheers,

Paul.
