How to ruin a Porsche 964 - video

Teaser for VW group show has us weeping over a molested Porsche

---

The following video trailer for the 'Dubshed' VW Group show in Belfast this March should contain a severe health warning for anybody with an affinity for unmolested Porsches.

Especially anybody who likes a decent 964 Carrera RS (lookalike we've been informed - Ed), because the vehicle that Dubshed has chosen to use to advertise its 2012 show might well make you cry.

Not only has 'D4M LO' been treated to a stupid numberplate, it's also been lumbered with some overly bling split rims (and are those stretched tyres we see in the video?) and some unnecessarily low suspension.

Oh, and if that upsets you, for the love of all that is good please click away from the video before 1 min 41 secs. Because at this point it's revealed that this Porsche is riding on air/hydraulic suspension of some kind and thus has even further to drop before the video is finished, both on its suspension and in our estimation.

Damn low? RS or not damn ruined, more like...

Sorry gents, that's not a 964RS, despite the badging.

[trickywoo]

Just like a Golf.

Did anyone else notice that the suspension was so shot it made the girl walk funny?

[The Dirty Bubble]

Sticking 2 tons of stereo in a lightweight special is the final nail in the coffin.

Jonny can I have your opinion on this

[MagicalTrevor]

And she can't even walk properly at the end!

[CarbonBlackM5]

I would (her, not the car)

[Baryonyx]

Well, thats a good Porsche ruined. I wonder when this daft 'Dub' trend will end. I reserve a similar disdain for these 'dubbers' as I do for other despicable sorts like car thieves etc etc. They've ruined so many good cars. I'd weep were I trying to find a decent mk2 Golf GTi, when I think of all the ones they've ruined!

Can I be the first to say that I rather like it?















Not that I actually do like it; I just wanted to be the first to say it.

[RB Will]

I have no problem with this apart from the way the bird is walking.

I thought that, what's wrong with her legs?

[EggsBenedict]

Stop moaning, it's just a lump of metal - you lot sound like those guys who got upset when clarkson et al smashed a morris marina to pieces. Jeez, it's not like there are not another gazillion 911's in the world, with more being churned out every day.

What car, I didn't see any car....

They're still making 964's? Excellent news.

Yes, just before the lady with the broken legs.

[DanDC5]

That car's been doing the rounds for about 18 months now. Workmanship on it is very good, and because it's a 911 and I'm not a huge fan it doesn't bother what's done to it. Wasn't a fan before and not fan afterwards.
