The Ferrari 250GT SWB is my favorite automotive work of art, but that blue one is a poor replica. Here’s a real one:

The post said it was heavily modified with a Ferrari 550 Maranello drive train and suspension so pretty much a body swap.
Yesterday I saw a particular Pcar for the first time in my life in person. I actually forgot they even MADE this bodystyle
Porsche Panamera Sport...it's a WAGON!
I posted one yesterday which was gorgeous. Then I started looking into them. Base price is a lot...a hundred grand. And only 300hp. (base model, there are hybrid and turbo options...above 600hp)
But used they're actually not too horrible (we're still talking a P-car).
But, hot damn, this is what I would like in five years or so of working a nice job. Of course, it'd be one of the cheaper, used models. (one on BAT went for 40k that was 5 years old)

Reminds me of the 944/951 shooting brakes.
Somebody actually has built a mini-Batmobile … a 1000hp one seater electric hypercar. It only goes 0-60mph in 1.6 seconds but can only hit 150mph … because it’s computer limited because it was designed and geared for hill climb racing so a gear ratio change and this little rocket would be over 200mph easy in the quarter mile.
Google McMurtry Spierling and read & watch …

Moved to a thread of its own...
Looking at this Wednesday at noon in SC. Always had an itch for one, don't know if I'll get it scratched or not.

If it follows you home, what’s the plan with her?
One step at a time. If it follows me home I'll start a thread on it.
Is this the one that has the turbine that induces vacuum under the car to increase downforce?
My son was screwing around up at Watkins Glen this weekend.
One of my all time favorites, 3.0 CSL "Batmobile".
And an e46 GTR'ish clone, v8 and all.

Audi R8?
Or a Corolla with airscoops.

Aren't those the same thing?
All that, and it's still just a 90's mustang. I thought Corvette guys were the only ones hung up on how "rare" their car was.
I see that Ford tried the Porsche tactic of taking things out of the car and charging more for it.

Was it Benjamin Franklin who said "a fool and his money are soon parted"?
