That looks incredibly stupid.
Lack of form + lack of function = massive fail.

That falls into the "just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it" class.

Looks like they completely removed the suspension and left the upper wheel wells sitting on the tires.

Is it a lowrider on some kind of air or hydraulic suspension? Can it hop, and are the trunk and frunk filled with batteries to make it work? There were a couple of episodes of Fast 'N Loud where the fixed up a wrecked 2005 Ford GT and added some air suspension, I didn't see the point of that either.

Ah, here come the old can't corner etc etc arguments on air suspension.........
Modern air suspension is a far different thing to the systems of old, it rivals other suspension systems easily as proven by a few vehicles i know.

Also, this is how it sits when parked. It most assuredly doesn't drive around at this height.
I don't dislike it, but there are a couple UK boxsters on air that are better executed.

There are a couple around. I like the colour of this one but the wheel choice is a bit boring for a show car. But it's not my car so hey ho.
I can say this after driving a car for the last 6 years on air that don't knock it till you've tried it.

You did and I didn't understand what baqgged meant when I saw it. I probably sounded like I was knocking the Ford GT done by Fast 'N Loud. I don't doubt that it can handle great, I'm wondering about the cost vs. benefit, and to me just getting and fixing a bent Ford GT back to original would be hitting it out of the park.

Apparently this was used as a promotional vehicle for a Car modifying business in the UK called Central England Automotive

Its about time we started to see what can/could be done with the 986 platform. I'm expecting an RWB-style from someone next...

I don't necessarily love it, but i don't hate it either. What i do love is that someone put the time/effort/$$$ into a 986. And yes, I'd love to see a RWB-style 986. If I win the lottery I'm doing the RWB/Singer/Magnus Walker thing on the 986/996 platforms.
