The ugliest Porsche ever?

[Deutscher]

This car:

www.911virgin.com/3flat.htm

has been on 911virgins site for what seems like years.

Is it the ugliest Porsche ever?

[Marki]

Nope not at all , she just need the Fuchs alloys fitted the wheels fitted are all wrong

[wildoliver]

I'll be honest she's not to my taste, but I agree set of Fuchs would make a big improvement.

Not ugly though.

[Deutscher]

Perhaps ugly is the wrong word, but I do think the colour scheme combined with the wheels and flat nose is truly gross.

[Marki]

OK OK i agree on the colour ,,, so change the wheels and the colour then ,,, but apart from that she looks fine to me

[Geneve]

You're right. The 'flat nose' turbo body 911s are amongst the ugliest 'factory' built cars.

Obviously there have been plenty of after-market monstrosities, but I still can't forgive Porsche for getting the Cayenne so wrong

[Agent Orange]

Flatnoses very much an acquired taste, hence perhaps values on real ones ...........this one never seen the factory , would guess a Dage sport/G force conversion i'd take the carrera badge off and fit the Fuchs , looks quite nice from the piccies ..........add what u want and build ur own idea of a car!

Whoops just went on site ...........sorry all there! Hardly expensive !

Reminds me of Condorman.

one word:

Cayenne

[paracetamol]

CAYANNE CAYANNE CAYANNE -FUGLY AS SIN

I can't find a picture, but in the mid-60's Piech's team threw together a light-weight (approx 450kg's IIR) hillclimb car that looked as if it had hit all the branches of the ugly tree on its way down.

The drivers called it the Kangaroo because of it's handling characteristics...

SS7
BTW I like the Virgin's flatnose although I agree the cup wheels don't work on a pre-89 car.

There were 2 Kangeroos built one auctioned at Monaco Historic abt 3 years ago ............ugly but very light!!!

The front of the new Audi Q7 makes the Cayenne look beautiful!!

[ballcock]

You're all bloody mad .. look at the 3rd picture from the bottom of the flattie ... Shaggin' beautiful lines .. I'd have her.

[magic torch]

Yep, put some Fuchs on it, lovely.

Sort of thing that would have been on my bedroom wall 23 years ago.

[wildoliver]

has anyone got a pic of the kangaroo?

[Adam B]

yep, flatnosenasty as are most convertible 911s to me (997 much better though)

but none of them usurp the Cayenne for the title, especially the saggy-asred turbo

When friends mention that they've just got a new car , my wife's first question is 'what colour is it?' ...
It just wouldn't be a major concern of mine ...

Anyone know what it sounds like? ..
