That looks like a creation by Leepu, would put money on it!

Bet it has chopped springs to boot!
That’s a name I’ve not heard in a while. What was the car programme he was in? Think it was on Discovery.
Chop Shop - London Garage

This fella and his so called team of crack mechanics mangles so tidy cars with some real chop shop cheap tricks!! Never seen a grinder and hammer used so much in any other show! Always blew my mind when they needed to lower a car and just reached for the cutting tool, 2 inches off the spring, that will do itnono

That's how it comes from them (not Porsche) it's a Gemballa GT550 - I'm not saying it looks good though!

Are you really trying to get this one off on the technicality that it's not actually modified?

Has it?

If they're going for the "I've crashed into Halfords and made my car look naff" look, then they've nailed it.

I think it's only the alloys and the side modifications that spoil it otherwise it was very nearly well executed

"Carolina squat" trucks banned in... North Carolina.

They run with a lowered rear and raised front, now there have been a lot of calls by the drivers to get air suspension fitted so they can have normal suspension on the road and set the squat at truck shows.

Looks like many old S class Mercs with knackered suspension.

I know you could ask this of many crap modifications, but what is the point of this? I can understand slammed, air suspension, raised, even the somewhat odd bouncing cars from GTA. But this?

Ah yeah, that one was more acceptable as he was at least building things from scrap with cars that were pretty much scrap and not for UK roads as far as I can recall.

The guy does have talent, just has no mechanical sympathy!
