RS replica - what do you think?

[toppstuff]

Chaps ,

Whats do you think of this wee beasty?

A 3.6 engine no less, ought to be fun and it does look the part. Not cheap though..

Looks great, will it sound the same ?

Carn't get my head round one that's not white.

How much power would a 3.6 lump put out ?

Would it have come from a 964? If so, it is presumably eminently tunable ?

over priced and not exactly authentic...certainly don't need a sunroof in an RS ( yes I know about options on tourings)

For that money if you like the idea of a 3.6 lump for £30k you would be better off buying a decent 964RS, even a rhd touring available at this price currently.

I love the old RS but they need to be authentic to make sense in my book... i saw a genuine RS lightweight being prepared for light motorsport in stunning orange with black...can't beat the real thing

I think if you have got £10K or so in a RS replica then fine but £30K!!
Can see an ass busting loss for somebody there, however I bet its a great fun car.

Mind you, I think Autofarm have regularly charged more than £30/35k for their RS replica's. So there is a precedent.

And a real RS ( valued at £80-100k plus ) is a garage queen these days. A replica makes more sense for regualr use - and the interior of that black one looks spot on !

Reckon that trader has a lot of margin in that car , however.

I suspect he paid little more than £20k for it..

I love it

should go well witha 3.6 in there.

I would probaly buy 965 turbo or 964 RS if it were my cash.

Unless I was completey loaded and id buy that as well
