the clone game
So just about every version of a 911 has seen it's run of "clones"- from the RS to the RSR and going back to previous times the slantnose and the turbo.
Someone even cloned the Paris / Dakar 911. So what hasn't been cloned? The latest crazes are RSR and ST clones, but maybe the ultimate clone would be a clone of the RSR 2.1 turbo pictured below: ![]() ( do I have the model description correct? 2.1, 2.7 or 2.8 liter? ) In my book, it's the "ultimate" 911. You don't get any wilder looking! I guess the problem would be re-creating that insane rear wing. The other clone I have yet to see is a clone of the 695 T7- the precursor to the 901 / 911. ![]() Not exactly a looker, but it would be unique. Thoughts? I guess the third "uncloned" Porsche would be the RSR 2.1 turbo with that funky "mary stuart" rear spoiler- ![]() the again- I never noticed how funky-looking that tail is from behind until I found this pic: http://www.toadhallracing.com/toad-042.html -and why is it called "mary stuart", anyway? Any others you can think of that we have yet to see cloned? |

In theory the spoiler looks like the collar worn by Mary Stuart Queen of Scots....... so the story goes.
A very cool looking car. For me, with an unlimited budget, I'd try the "Baby" 935/2 ![]() Jay

There are no really authentic 934 clones out there - to do one right would probably run well into the six figures. Paul's Kramer's car is the closest with the center-locks, but even that one is more of a 934 tribute than a clone...
