Liberty Walk Porsche 997 GT3 with Fi Exhaust Exiting a Showroom: Lion in a Cage

Once again, we're thrilled at the idea of bringing you answers to questions nobody asked and, for today, we'll focus on a Porsche 911 whose aftermarket bits indicate that the typically understated aura displayed by most Zuffenhausen machines has been long forgotten.

So, without further ado, here's the question: have you ever wondered what the automotive equivalent of a lion fretting in its cage is?

We're pretty sure this 997-generation GT3 delivers a good answer. It's all done with the help of the clip below, which shows the track-savvy Neunelfer leaving a showroom.

Now, before we move on, we have to describe the most important tuning bits that have been added to the car. This is the kind of Porsche whose owner chose the you-can't-miss-my-car path.

For starters, the Liberty Walk widebody kit completely changes the appearance of the car. Oh, and it also gives you a (vague) idea of what we'd end up with if Rauh-Welt Begriff moved past the air-cooled fetish and started working on more recent 911s.

Then there's the Fi exhaust on the car. This allows the flat-six at the back of the GT3 to fully express its feelings and emotions. And with the rear end of the vehicle - including the fascia and the light clusters - still missing, the attention magnet effect only grows stronger.

Since the GT3 badge used to guarantee a clutch (and will offer increased chances of a third pedal in the future), this driver has to work the 911 through the tight space, while only receiving partial guidance from outside the car. And the kind of massive rollcage this Porsche uses doesn't exactly help with the visibility.

Spoiler alert: Those of you who lust for the full scream of this GT3 won't be disappointed, as the car finally leaves the building and does its thing on the road.
