Anyone know what the round thing is on the hood, on the driver's side?

Seen a gray one of these yesterday at the MotoGP in Laguna Seca. Beautiful.

Wayne Dempsey of Pelican Parts has a black one. Many articles on his forum about the car, as well as a ton of pictures.

There are Five 959 COPY's in the U.S.A.

They are 911's with 959 body panels and rims. It is identical to the 959 from where ever you look at from the outside, but a plain 911 underneath.

I know this because there was a red one at the dealership I worked at in Bensalem, PA 2 years ago. I had to do the research on it.

So if anyone ever sees a red 959 in east coast, it is probably a fake. I do not know what colors the other 959 copy's were.
