Boxstera GT

Boxster turned into Carrera GT - nobody fooled

There's nothing that says 'I wish I had a better Porsche but could only afford a Boxster' quite like this. This is a Boxster that has been made into a Carrera GT look-a-like and while you have to admire the work put into it, I'm afraid it ain't fooling anyone.

From some angles it doesn't look too bad but then you venture around to the rear three-quarters and start to wonder if you are in a Stuttgart hall of mirrors. It is like when a Hollywood A-lister gets some dodgy plastic surgery - all the features are still there but it just doesn't look right.

The car started life as a Boxster but has been stretched by 12" 'in both directions', says the eBay seller. 'If you are a quiet shy person, this is not the right car for you. When I drive this car, I am photographed at least 5 times before I get home,' he says.

The car has 66,000 miles and the seller is after $80,000 for it. So the price of an almost new 911 in the States then...
