You're right. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was : What a Ricer" , but then that's why Baskin Robbins is in business. Personally I would own it only as the losing side of a Political bet. Ed

I like a lot of the TechArt stuff, but that is a bit too over done for my tastes.

Techart designs are pretty well known for their "cutting edge"; as you can see, opinions are varied.

Gemballa is usually over the top, in my opinion.

Like it a lot and would love to have something like it. Though, I would not use it as my daily driver. However, as I can only afford a used 986, I don't think I'll be getting a show car any time soon.

I personally like the pic jmatta posted of the Gemballa version better. To me that car has more rounded lines and the TechArt version looks too chopped up to me. The TA version is not bad but I think it could have been better.

The TA sideskirts look too aftermarket and don't blend with the natural lines of the car and the supports for the rear wing look too skinny and flimsy for my taste. And lastly I am just not a fan of the two tone color styling, ie white car, black hood. I think the pics when the car is primarily all one color looks a lot better

I think my coffee needs to kick in, I'm a little negative this morning

Would I kick it out of my garage?........hell no
