how many members of the public would even know what a cgt is? i am not keen on lambo or ferrari replicas but i can guess that a certain demographic would be impressed / fooled by them
Absolutely - and that's the "wow" market that the OP is pandering too. Cars like the Carrera GT are "wow" cars not just because of how they look, but because of the knowledge of what they can do, what they represent, the monetary value etc. etc.
To fake one aspect of that denies all the other parts (the good looking, the what it can do, the how it sounds) and therefore does not give the complete package.

Are you able to buy replica panels from porsche themselves ?
did they not provide turbo bodykits for the 911 ?
this would then be a 'sanctioned replica'
But did they badge it as the turbo?did they not provide turbo bodykits for the 911 ?
this would then be a 'sanctioned replica'

ETA: you couldn't even call it CGT bodied as they aren't official CGT panels where as I am assuming the turbo bodied 911 was a factory option with official turbo panels?

Having had to clean coffee of my screen - twice - before I could post again.
Porsche probably do sell replacement CGT panels, wouldn't fit this though.
Same with the 911 Turbo, you would need to change under-pinings as well before the look was complete, at least on older models with wider track.
The OP has ignored many attempts to get more information on the specs/prices of both cars he has advertised, sorry pictured here. Nor stated where his business model plans to take him. Is this a show car for more traditional replica/GRP offerings, or better something original based on donor damaged Boxsters?
Nobody doubts the hard work, just the direction or focus of it.

No because there is not a base model like the 911 that you can tick the options box, the GT was as far as I am aware a one off, not based on any other platform.
This is a replica of a car on a completely diffrent scale, model everthing he may as well have tried to make it look like a Caterham.
