If you take a look at the Porsche business model, you'll notice many aspects that help the automaker builds a 20-model-rich 911 range (actually, the Neunelfer lineup sometimes spreads past twenty derivatives).
For instance, when a certain generation is in the second part of its lifecycle and enough models have already been released, Zuffenhausen likes to grab various bits and pieces from the parts bin and mix them together to create something fresh.
And such pathways sometimes lead to explosive results, with the 991.1 Porsche 911 R being an example as good as any - the limited edition was so desirable that speculators tried to push to price towards the $1 million point.
The automaker replied by introducing the 911 GT3 Touring Package when the 991.2 generation came to be, with this essentially being a 911 R for the "masses" (we're still talking about a limited model).
So, if the German carmaker can play such games, why shouldn't its clientele be able to do the same?
We've brought along an example of such a Porsche 911 puzzle, with this including a 991.2 GT3 that has been fitted with a 991.2 GT2 RS engine cover.
The digital label behind the image we have here took the time to describe the process: "Experimental rendering for .2 GT3 with 2RS engine cover. Used a GT3 Touring as the base, since it’s essentially a wingless GT3 from the outside. Changed the badges and window trim for a bit more accuracy,"
And yes, we can now talk about a ducktail look, while the whole posterior of the car makes it look like a racecar to us, despite the lack of a serious wing. And we'd love to check out such a Porscha in the real world.
Of course, there will always be purists rejecting such unofficial mixes and they should look away when 911 builds like this show up.
