Deora Meets 911

[SSNJim]

The guy did way too much thinking on this, but I think it's a pretty cool concept. Not really qualified for the the Porsche Hot Rods thread, but interesting nonetheless.

Heck, even Porsche put the 911 engine in front of the driving wheels with the 914-6, so it's not totally implausable.

If you dig through the comments, there's some pictures of the Deora with the front end open. Interesting article.

EDIT: Hey, this is post 917 for me, and it's a  Porsche post. Yay!

I'll have to pass on the challenge. I'm still all dizzy from heading an ordinary VW Beetle in the wrong direction.

You were the guy I was thinking of, Russell!

That’s just how Torch is, though it seems to lacking one thing his earlier stories likely involved,  something green, leafy, and not yet 50 state legal??

Ha! The 911 Deora qualifies for the thread that I created over a year ago (which I'd actually forgotten about) about 1/2 backwards cars: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/145178-12-backwards-cars/  There's probably lots of other dizzying rearrangements out there to be found.

Sorry if this offends anyone, but I think that's an ugly thing, with no redeeming value whatsoever.

Never mind the sorry part, too. I'm not.

I have to agree, completely ridiculous.

I think my Gremlin turned out better than this nightmare. (currently in "the shop" for "re-finishing")

WAY better. I like it.

Actually, that would make an awesome kit to build.
