Six years ago, Emory Motorsports Inc. began working on restoring and modernizing a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR.........................

The body of the vintage coupe has been re-done from scratch using aluminum and stainless steel, and the windows are plastic/polycarbonate, rather than glass.


I would put this into "Oddity" thread or even the Non-Aerodynamic category despite some of it's positive features.

Gotta compare it to the stock car, the Duck-Tail lowered drag if I recall correctly.

EDIT:

Looks to be a typo in that article above, this is what the maker's website says.

More of a 356, not a 911 - just as it looks like.

At $100k it better be the best at something.
