When most people think of clown cars, the VW Beetle or Fiat 500 come to mind. They're small, cute and just have the right vibe for a humorous, child-friendly environment. But what if you want to make a clown car for adults?
One of the most amazing, tactile modern Porsche machines, the 911 GT3, has just been turned into a clown car of sorts. Automotive sacrilege of this caliber demands an explanation. Explaining what you guys are seeing is kind of a long-winded discussion, so grab your corn dogs and get ready… for the greatest show on earth.
Bassie & Adriaan were a Dutch circus duo who started a popular television show in the late 1970s. The ginger-haired, red-nosed clown played by Bas van Toor is famous even to this day and now somebody wants to make a 21st century version of the TV show.
The organizers wanted to promote it and joined the Challenge 2014 - Carbon Edition road rally from Rotterdam (The Netherlands) to Marrakech in a brand new Porsche 911 GT3. An appropriate wrap was applied to the 911, complete with eyelashes and a trailer.
We won't pretend to understand Dutch clown humor. The fact is it looks weirds and even non Porsche fans should agree it's a shame to do this to a GT3. But we are wondering what the Moroccans are going to make of this crazy contraption.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
