I was going to say, the front looks odd. It's not TERRIBLE, but it would look better stock.

I do believe that is a Gemballa. They put that style of front on various 911s.

of all tuners in the world the Germans tend to be the most tasteless...

I admit we're not the greatest when it comes to tuning companies, but at least we have nice cars stock:p.

I saw a slant-nose 911 some time ago, had an insignia that looked like B+B. What was that? I wondered too, why they'd do that to one of the nicest faces in cardom?

But the most tuners I can think of are German :o ...

Besides AMG and Brabus are pretty cool...

Indeed it's disgusting, and done to a Porsche 911 Turbo S...:eek:

On the stats front I think it had a 3.6-litre turbocharged engine developping 380bhp.

I don't believe it's a Turbo S because it hasn't the seats, the wheels or the front air scoops next to the indicators.

I don't think that's a real turbo S... as the badging isn't right...

the real deal's badge... http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=26045&d=1085082589

But that one is from the 993 and not from the 964. ;)

the front end looks very F40-ish.

Doesn't look that bad, but i like the 930 slant-nose much better.

I had just left the bed and I only looked at the badge (and not for long)...;)

I think B+B was some kind of conversion especialist in the mid or late eighties. They made stuff such as a convertible 190E (both 4 and 2 door). It compteted with ACS for the craziest mods.

IMHO slant noses looked well in the 930s, but not on the 996 nor 993.

I hate flat noses. And I'm going to kill the man who did that if it was a real Turbo S Leichtbau.
