That's just wrong....

Those are mini-lite wheels, I think.

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?

Quote:
........ 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.

Quote:
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:

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