With VW wheels?

That's just wrong....

Those are mini-lite wheels, I think.

Is that real or a rendering?

The dang thing's got no engine!
Or
The dang thing's got two engines!

Rendering. Back wheels are way out of scale.

Hey that looks neat.
If that is a rendering I would like to see a small pickup truck.

And were can I get some wheels like that for my 88?

the 911, cut and stripped off everything, waiting for assembly

I'm not sure where the engine is going to go, electric?

........ the german-french hybrid is fitted with a turbocharged 260 horsepower engine in the rear bonnet of the 1955 DS. under the hood, the original air cooling system is replaced with a forced water cooling pipeline

I still don't get it.

The engine bay had to be configured so the 3000 cc power-plant could be properly fitted. ‘we totally forgot that to fit a porsche 911 engine into the rear bonnet of a citroen DS is as easy as squeezing a pumpkin into a pea pod,’ explains brandpowder. ‘if you shift the engine 90° horizontally, and slide the backseat 10 inches forward, you get enough room, adds johnson. ‘you want a lower center of gravity on a car that’s going to be longer and higher than a regular 911.’

An interesting styling fusion none the less.

I think either car is superb. But this Franken-job is what it is: A Franken job, a waste of time and effort. For a 4- door classic Porsche I prefer this one:

I just threw up in my mouth.

I like Minilites

Pretty nice craftsmanship.

I hear Singer is working on their own version of this.

Call me old fashioned, but I think I'll just stick to the Porsche.
