Pricey though!

And I'd be taking all the stickers off

an exceptionally detailed road-going recreation of that dominating legend, the number 8 911 RSR.

the concept was to produce a car that is as close to the #8 Martini as possible, yet well-heeled and exciting to drive on the road as well.

That meant coil overs, metal RSR guards, RSR bumpers front and rear, a fiberglass ducktail, custom Fuchs wheels, RSR brakes, Martini stripes, period decals and of course, air-conditioning.

Yeah I think "tribute" would be a better description

This was being built by zags when my L was being refurbished....

And I know the current owner....

Its beautifully done, and a real weapon by all accounts with a 993 motor.

Yes its a replica but it was faithfully done by a group of enthusiasts just like us.

Id say that is quite good value when people are paying more than 200K for 911T's albeit very nicely done ones.

i like pastiche "celebrates the work it imitates".

[reedminor]

Yes to both tribute and pastiche!

That's exactly what I'm building! - and maybe - looking back in 5 years time - this may have turned out to be the much cheaper way to go....

But when re-creating the famous #8, one should have known not to use the Porsche museum car as an example, as that one is the number 9 as we now know.

Refreshing to see a tribute that is not using the turbo flares though!

The wheels look too big to me.
Like the overall look apart from the wheels.

[Bremith]

Yep, bit narrower, TBs

I agree, wheels are way too big diameter. Maybe 17's ? Spoils the overall look but I guess tire sizes may have dictated the choice.

Nice seats.
