Looks awesome, but as if the 924 wasn't slow enough already. Also it must be awfully loud in that cabin with the engine right there without any sound proofing. Because race car I guess.

I still think this is one of the most silly and pointless conversions ever.

Think 914 without sound deadening.

So it would be a beetle or a 912 without the sound deadening.

A completely useless project that was executed well. It's more artwork than it is a vehicle and everyone has a different sense of what makes good art.

It looks well done. But why replace one anemic engine with another? Now if they put a 3.0 sc motor out back...

If I was going through that much trouble I would have made it mid engined instead.

Not everybody wants to go fast...maybe they just want to roll with something unique and cheap to maintain.

125hp(ROW 924 NA) on a 1170Kg car is not that bad actually..even by today's standards.

Oh my goodness.....that is just so wrong on so many levels. Why make a bug from a 924? The 924 was a much more superior design than the bug. He took an almost worthless 924....pumped a bunch of money into it and made it even more worthless.

And don't get me started about the shifter.

Looks very clean!
But where does that engine get it's air from Because if you close the hatch it will be (almost) airtight...

Looks like I didn't take a close enough look. They built in a glass divider between the engine and cabin so it may not be THAT bad.
