Now that Michael Bay has confirmed he's working on the fifth and last (at least that's what we were promised) installment of the Transformers franchise, we're starting to see more and more "public" attempts to come up with a memorable Bumblebee setup.
Case in point, the pre-revamp Porsche 911 Turbo S in the video below. Coming from Porsche Exclusive, the automaker's division that's always ready to let you play with colors and materials, this Yellow and Black Turbo S definitely does away with the typically understated appearance of Zuffenhausen machines.

The supercar was caught on camera at Porsche Cars North America's (PCNA) annual Tech Tactics event (the 2015 edition), which was held at PCNA's West Coast site.

While the exterior of the 560 hp Neunelfer speaks for itself, we must also discuss the cabin. There's one element found inside this Porsche that draws our attention more than the other custom bits of the interior.

We're talking about the "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" message on the side sills, with the Muhammad Ali reference appearing more than appropriate as a driving motivation.

As we mentioned in the intro, this Turbo S is far from the only recent take on the Bumblebee matter. For instance, the PCNA event that saw the 911 grabbing attention also included two other Porsches that received a similar label, namely a Cayman GT4 and a 914/6.

And since we can never escape the Camaro while covering such a topic, we'll mention the 2016 Camaro SS has already received such a makeover. Also coming from the custom car world, the LT1-powered Chevy in question comes with plenty of elements that allow it to claim the Bumblebee title.

Returning to the 911 Turbo S we have here, it would be quite interesting to see a race dedicated to Bumblebee rides, since this Porsche would stand a serious chance of setting the sweetest lap time.
