Hi guys, check out this customised 928.

To quote fancytuning.com "Now, this car is a really strange mixture between Porsche, Toyota and Peugeot but i think the “merge” was done pretty smooth and the result is definitely something unique. I don’t know the name for it, but you could post one here. The base car was a Porsche 928 s4 and the tuners wanted to transform it into a Peugeot combination from Peugeot 406 and 407. You’ll say: “Yeah, I’ve seen other cars transformed from one to the other” but this one has something different. This car also has Toyota elements. The front bumper from a Toyota Avensis has became the rear bumper for this Porsche/Peugeot.

Since exterior was highly modified and you can’t really tell the difference and include this car to a certain car producer, the tuners also modified the car’s original engine, from Peugeot. Now the V8 engine can develop 320 HP and with those wide 18″ rims the car has better handling and a lot more speed."

Must have taken a long time to build that thing. Wonder what the inside looks like?
Amazing car .... not my cup of tea, but admire the amount of work put into it.

Hi :)

Thats an interesting car....by the way ..all S4 models produce 320 hp :)

Somehow I doubt those body alterations will help power though as that front will drive air straight into the aircon rad which will be a bit like it hitting a brick wall aerodynamically...

But it does look different :)

All the best Brett :)

Quite agree Paul! Nice colour shame about the rest. Well executed & must have taken a long time &/or ££££s but WHY?

Definately, you can see it's been done well and good money spent but unfortunately the end result must have been an anticlimax.

Would probably look better in a more subdued colour?

It all works reasonably well until you see the nose.

I think the why? is custom bodyshops like to show what sort of work they can do. If they just sprayed it in a nice colour and fitted some wide wheels it wouldn't have the impact of something this wild. It's to show that anything is possible as long as a customer wants to pay for it and their bodyshop is capable of bringing their dreams to reality, no matter how mild or strange.

It's not about liking it, it's about you noticing it!!!!
