Very nice.Let me give you some inputs from what i've seen and heard.
2 of these cars were built. One with a working engine and one without.
The non-working prototype was in Troy at Porsche engineering service until they shut down.
The other one is supposed to be in Weissach.
Anyway, this car was built on a boxster framer and was mainly using aluminum and magnesium. I don't even think that carbon fiber was used on these prototypes.
Anyway, could you tell me if he has the one with a working engine or the one without.
Thanks

I wish I had your guys problems. Wouldnt a clear film like 3M product used on paint block the UV? might be cheaper than the ZR1 stuff.

Anyone know whats happening to the GT3 RS wings? are they yellowing? I just put a GMG racing CF rear spoiler on my GT3 and it will be interesting to see how it ages. Not to mention CF sills, CF shifter and ebrake.

Good question....what I do know is that my 2001 turbo, which was optioned with the CF interior, is yellow and tarnished. Porsche replaced the CF interior pieces several times over the years and they still yellows! On the other Hand the CF rear wing on my Supra is PERFECT and its been on there for over three years.

Gosh, my 2001 turbo carbon interior is still perfect. The 2004 CGT door panels are yellowing. Go figure.
