my best guess would be a super heavily fuckin' modified porsche......the big air scoops feed a rear engine, the rims look like bling porsche rims, and the taillights all scream porsche to me....but i could be wrong :dunno:

doesnt really look like a porsche, too many mods to be a porsche... my guess is some kit car or something someone has built straight up from the ground

ya, if you spend that much time modding it, you wouldnt want to do two, making them less unique

This is the Porsche Wingho W3

"The W3-Triposto is a custom sports car built on a Porsche 911. It is a stylistic tribute to the spirit of the 1958 718RSK and uses the chassis and drivetrain of a donor Porsche 911. The original was powered by a rear mounted Porsche 3.2 litre engine. This is, however, not a body refit-conversion kit. Extensive frame modification resulted in the removal and replacement of at least 50% of the original chassis. This resulted in a lowered center of gravity, significant weight reduction and an increase in rigidity.

The Triposto sells for $250,000.00 plus the costs of a donor car or $300,000.00 for a turnkey car. It was designed and built by Wingho Auto Classique Inc. in Montreal, Quebec, Canada"


Production: 1999
Engine Type: Flat 6
Displacement: 3600 cc
220 cu. in.
Power: 325 hp @ 6100 rpm
242 kW @ 6100 rpm
Torque: 290 lb. ft. @ 4800 rpm
393 Nm @ 4800 rpm
Weight: 1000 kg
2205 lb

Top Speed: 273.5 km/h
170 mph

I sure hope that thing is redlining in 6th gear when it hits that top speed, otherwise that thing must have absolutely brutal aerodynamics.

320hp, 2200lbs, 270km/h topspeed=:thumbsdow
