    neither did I; I think it looks foul

    It could be custom made, because if you build a porsche on their website, it says:

    I've heard of Porsche Exclusive. Maybe that 959 was ordered that way?

    Or possibly its a kit car. It doesn't look much like a real 959.

    It looks like someone wanted something along the lines of a 550... very cool. I'm glad there's only one like it, but it's definitely original in a good way.

    im pretty sure that this is an aftermarket custom job...either a real 959 with the top chopped off or, more likely, a non-959 made to look like one...it just doesnt look right to me

    as for Porsche Exclusive...i think that all they do are little things like custom wheels and custom interior trim

    The wheels don't fit the arches, half the shutlines are missing, the bonnet is the wrong shape, the bonnet vent is missing, the side vent is the wrong shape, the headlights are wrong, and the bodyshell appears to be an approximation of the 959 rather than a copy - that isn't a 959.
    Thanks for all the fish

    if you look closely that is not a real 959. a real 959 have center lock wheels, this one have wheels with five lug nuts.

    Well then, I guess it's just a modern-day 550 using the 959 as an inspiration

    im pretty sure its either a 964 speedster with some 959-esque bits, or a 993 cabrio with 993 bits

    Porsche Exclusive will do more than that. They'll custom build a car to your specifications. Engine, tranny, suspension, body, color, interior you name it. But it's gonna cost ya though.
