This is blindingly awful to look at. The Carrera GT isn’t the most handsome machine to begin with; this is like setting the proverbial makeup gun to “whore.”

That sums it up nicely.
Is there any redemption through actual performance? If the look-fast bits are strapped to a 220mph, 0-60-in-2.5-seconds machine, they may be justified.
That is hasn’t hit wreckedexotics.com yet?
Only the most elite and prestigious aristocrats can afford luxuries like German rice.
The car Wendelin Weideking will drive around Hell.

Whoever perpetrated this crime should have their testicles removed, with a chainsaw.

To Paul Y:
That was funny. But I kind of like it…
And to P00ch:
Well put. If it’s fast, who cares?
That’s got to be, relatively speaking, the best lookin Carrera I’ve ever seen… (I’ve always thought they were ugly cars)
It needs this lovely roof treatment to be complete.

I’d still hit it.
Even the gold chrome abu dhabi edition.
Waxing it would be like trying to wax a Ginsu knife sculpture.
Whoever did that to such a remarkable automobile needs to be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, stabbed, and then really hurt.
Ugh.
Straight out of “Fast and Furious – Europe Edition”
It was inevitable that a few of the fast and furious kids would eventually end up with money.
There’s one thing that confuses me about the special edition GTs: Are there really that many unloved examples out there?
How many did Porsche make? Wikipedia tells me that Porsche built 1,270 GTs, and 604 of them made it to the United States.
I guess…
It needs a few more spoilers.
Where’s the dingle balls framing the windows?

My goodness. That’s a beautiful machine. It looks serious and purposeful.
I wouldn’t have believed that it was possible to take something as boring and bland as the Carrera to turn into something this sexy.
I like how the styling of the scoops gives everything an aerofoil look. Makes it look like it’s ready to attack the air.
I think the car looks really cool!
But i do not think it is worth the extra money you would have to pay for this!
What, no VTEC sticker?
I think that’s just about everything in this month’s JCW catalog.
What’s wrong? It is not parked in my driveway
heh heh, If only 5 are made, what is the chance of you ever seeing one in the flesh?
Please don’t let Bob Lutz see this. I’m already having nightmares about the return of the Fiero.
Jonathon: That example looks like it may have been done in irony.
Is there an uglier Porsche? What isn’t wrong with it?
A new record for combining incongruous lines and curves into one vehicle. Can you charge an owner for vandalizing their own car?
I’d heard Paul Teutel was switching from theme choppers to cars. This appears to be the Hewlett-Packard/Porche.
