RE: Behold the complete Fifteen Eleven Porsche 914
Discussion
I've always had a think for the 914, and this sounds like a great project.
However, like a few have said the front just doesn't look right and the whole restomod thing is now overwhelming with every Tom, Dick and Harry churning them out. Glad it's got an ICE motor and not jumped on the EV powertrain though.

Tis a bit silly now, don't you think?
Maybe they just put it at the front of every article about a car that’s a bit rubbish?Tis a bit silly now, don't you think?
Not really a 'ducktail' spoiler on this thing, more like a duckling or fledgling spoiler, its that small....
Not keen on the oversized wheels, nor the front aspect, for all the reasons others have mentioned.
Smaller wheels and a front based on the original would make it better, but I still don't see myself buying one when I could get a Gayman, Cockster or even a good 911 for much less...

With those matte black plastics on the front it looks like a smart roadster - that's not a good thing. That front end is horrific - I think I can see why the rear was in the main photo.
Also, removing pop-ups from a car should be a crime.
Would I still love to drive it? Yes.

I can’t be the only one who prefers the originals; Singer et al included.
Restomods, almost by definition, have built in obsolescence - they’re highly over-styled and built to the fashions of the moment. An original 914, whilst not the prettiest car Porsche have made, will always look cool.
This just tries too hard.
