It's a Boxter, and you aren't fooling anybody...

BOXSTERA GT

Boxster turned into Carrera GT - nobody fooled

There's nothing that says 'I wish I had a better Porsche but could only afford a Boxster' quite like this. This is a Boxster that has been made into a Carrera GT look-a-like and while you have to admire the work put into it, I'm afraid it ain't fooling anyone. From some angles it doesn't look too bad but then you venture around to the rear three-quarters and start to wonder if you are in a Stuttgart hall of mirrors. It is like when a Hollywood A-lister gets some dodgy plastic surgery - all the features are still there but it just doesn't look right.
The car started life as a Boxster but has been stretched by 12" 'in both directions', says the eBay seller. 'If you are a quiet shy person, this is not the right car for you. When I drive this car, I am photographed at least 5 times before I get home,' he says.
The car has 66,000 miles and the seller is after $80,000 for it. So the price of an almost new 911 in the States then...

OMG. What compels people to do things like this? It screams "i-couldn't-afford-the-real-deal", but "i love attention". :2guns:

[Strop]

OMG! What a horrible thing that is.....with the money he had spend, he can buy a better porsche than a boxster...but now it looks like a ugly replica of something.:thumbdown:

[Erez]

lame :thumbdown:

[Pokiou]

i swear ... you know what would make that look good.. a hummer just about 1mm from impact at full speed..

Possibly not because you are cool, mate. This doesn't even look like a Carrera GT, especially from the rear.

[RC45]

Man you guys are harsh... :lol:

What's next? You call everyone with a modded car aposer? ;) hehehe

I mean - it's a Porsche... isn't everyone supposed to worship them? :P

[Mattk]

I actually quite like the Boxster. I know it's the cheap Porsche for people who can't afford Carreras, but it's still a great car.

Agreed mate. The Boxster S, in particular, is great fun on a track, or a road with some corners. GREAT fun.

Next steep: transform a fiat punto(old) in a enzo...just turn the front lamps upside , change the suspension, and change "iat" by "errari" ...oo dont forget to put some aero parts to! and paint it with yellow(red is too much obvious)

I think the Boxter is as good as it will be, and it's a bit lame.... shit, no.... just lame.

[Pokiou]

well i wouldn't say no to one if had the chance of buying one as they are modern and mostly well kept... and at the end of teh day its a Porsche.. BUT that one the in picture is just.. .. i cant think of anything.. the english language just doesnt have a word that can discribe the valgurness of that car :S :(

[KJM 212K]

why didn't he just save up and buy a 911? with the money he spent on that...erm...kit, the few extra dosh would've landed him a 911 Carerra 2...i think

[HeilSvenska]

I always say this. If he put that much effort, time, and money into turning a Boxter into a Carrera GT (rather good work, from the looks of it). Why does he not make something unique that he can truly call his own?




Oh, that's right. Cause he's an IDIOT!

[pitfield]

I adore Boxsters, enough power for the road, in many ways, I prefer over 911s, in fact as I have said before, I'd have a big spec S over a Carrera. I know this, because I used to work at Porsche so have driven everything Porsche Currently makes save for the newest 911 with PDK.

However, this kit is ugly. Have you seen the F355/MR2 conversion? Same waste of time, but more convincing.

man Porsche should just sue this guy... i dunno for what but i nthe US you can sue anyobdy for anything :P

[5vz-fe]

I hope he'll stop at red light one day and next to him a real CGT.

He'll prolly u turn and leave to avoid laughing LOL

Well, I'm pretty sure he's at least voided the warranty so the car's been disowned by Porsche.

[Pokiou]

lol the car teh owner have been disowned by everyone by the looks of it.
