We have a sneaking suspicion that a modern day, road-going Porsche 911 can take on an old racing 911 and win by a mile. That's especially true for this bad boy, who's been tuned to 650 hp. But we'll get to that later!
First of all, let's check out what the Germans at Cam-Shaft did to the body of the car. Naturally, they are wrappers, so it's not a surprise that the car has been covered up in vinyl, not painted. But the wrap is so cool, so nostalgia-invoking, that we just can't help but fall in love. Gulf Oil has long been associated with Porsche, ever since the day os of the 917.

While this "humble" Type 997 Turbo doesn't have 12 cylinders at its disposal, it's not exactly a slouch. Its engine has been remapped and tuned to produce no less than 650 horsepower and a very impressive 800 Nm of torque.

How's this for a weekend treat, guys?

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.
