Are you sure that's not a photo of Porsche's newest model, the "Ricer"?
Perhaps they're going to add this to their new market approach. They've got the soccer mom's ith the Cayenne, now they want the freaky kids too.

Dan,
"Ricer" is just the code name. When it is released it will be called the "Wasabe".

(Wasabe is a really hot green condiment served with some Japanese dishes.)

I assume the new wasabe will only be available in neon green?

I think it's pretty ironic that we have hundreds of porsche owners scrambling to remove/change their "runny egg" headlights because they're so damn ugly, and some ricer goes out and finds them, then modifies his entire front end just to stick them on his car.

Tells you something about aesthetics and ricers.

if it has 996 taillights too, that would seriously freak out a lot of people. a many door 996?

Dan-
you are close, but the official title will be "Ricester"

Chris-
The "Wasabe" is the the title for the model with the bigger engine, bringing it up to a whopping 105hp!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

It is good that Porsche is still the target others aim for.

996 owners are having enough of an identity crisis over the headlights and now this? Gee is the code name the Boxster R (for Rice). What's next? Grafting a Targa roll bar on an Aztec? Leleand the Pimpster has taken new directions!
