What do you think of this Rankle Ice-berg porsche 914.8? They say "Its common knowledge: One of the finest engineered production sports cars ever built is the Porsche 914. It is also recognized that among autos on the road the Porsche 914 is one butt ugly auto. In an effort to reconcile the disparity between the handling properties and the aeordynamics we here at Scari.Org have merged our crafts to bring the Rankle 914.8 into being." But I'm not to sure it's a improvement on the looks. I love the 914's looks, but I don't like this. What do you think?

And here's the 914.2 Image Image

Hmm, let's have a minute to think...

Nope - it's still a steaming pile of Stratos-wannabe.

I don't hold mine up as an example of best of breed, but while they haven't done much of anything to the front-end that a respray and a new bumber wouldn't fix...

...what the flippin' ' eck is going on with the stuck-on bits around the rear end?

Image

Image

Why shorten the rear overhang, only to add an exhaust that sticks out beyond the now shortened bodywork?
