Wild Japense 986 Racecars

In my ten years of Boxster ownership and Boxster Googling I somehow have never seen of these cars. They belong to Arktech Motor Sports and unfortunately I don't have any information on them except that despite their looks they are built on 986 chassis. The top is interesting, it looks like its built off of the factory shape

Interesting, the suspension must be totally custom. I wish I had a picture of what they did. Looking at the frame photos they retained the frame rails so I assumed they used factory suspension points but I guess not

that is fooking sexy

There are a lot more pictures and infos on their website:

ARKTECH Motor Sports

I wish the pictures were higher resolution for a better peek at the mods. I'm guessing there's not a lot of the original car by the time they finished the evolution.

So Stu, I saw the cardboard pics. Are you going to go full Arktech now?

Awesome you found a suspension picture.

I might give the flares a shot I made a couple more cardboard templates that are closer. I have a track event in two weeks though so I can’t do any real work. I did notice harbor freight has English Wheels on sale....
