It is better to have a Toyota that looks like a Porsche than a Porsche that looks like a Toyota.

Its a two door Panamera.

With different wheels, that car would certainly fool the average individual. A front engine, water cooled, four passenger auto. Quick send the photo to Dr. Wiedeking!

I agree 100% I always hated the 996 body style, and I'm not too fond of the 997, but at least they fixed the headlights...

But wow what an 'interesting' car... :eek:

Here's a lot better imitation of a 996, but still... insane!

This one is based on Opel Calibra. Well there's some far-fetched Porsche connection. Calibras were build by the same contract manufacturer that builds Boxsters and Caymans now. Valmet Automotive in Uusikaupunki Finland. :)

Parked outside the fence and still not touched. Even thieves have taste.

Looks a lot like a 996 to me.

Photoshop maybe?

Too funny I wonder if it has ant Porsche badges on the front or rear of the car?

Porsche 02-07-2007 01:33 PM

The 1st replica doesn't look real at all.

The 2nd replica also looks a bit wrong, but it does look a lot more like a 996TT. But it's still not real. :)

So you're saying it's better to have that car than this.

Where did you find this ad?

WTF???

"Panamera."

That is what I was thinking from the first moment. Come on, if it drove by you'd have thought it was a 996 since most of us wouldn't have looked to begin with ;) They both have radiators in the same area.

I only feel sorry for the owner as Porsche has copyrighted the shape of a 911 and their lawyers are already feeling threatened of sales. Ferry would be disappointed that a Camry and a 911 could be so similar. #1 in profitability combined with #1 in sales!

Think this is nutty, check out this thread about the Covin, a fiberglass replica of the 1980s 911 Turbo:

That one Wayne posted actually looks like a pretty decent replica. Wonder how much money they have in it. Looks to be done on a 1994-1999 model Celica. This was probably built before you could buy a 996 for mid 20s money.
