What the hell??
 
OK...this isn't the first time I've seen an older 911 "updated" to look like the 993, or even the 964, but why would you put in a 13B rotary out of the RX7?!?!

"Why do you put a jet engine in a bike? Because we can!"

This car travels along the same line of thoughts.... Plus never underestimate the power of a fully tuned up rotary enigne.

Anyway, the ad prolly fake. the guy listed 4 cycl as the number of cylinders which detonates that he's complete tool as the 13B got only 2 rotors (or 2 "cycl" if you want to be really vague). Plus no pics of the engine...

I seem to remember eBay having no "rotary' option for engine type.

Yes, thank you, I know that the 13B has a two-rotor layout. I've got an RX8 parked outside my window and have been driving it for the last year. (granted it's got the Renesis 1.3 which is something of an evolution of the 13B turbo engine in the FD3S)
