@Pedro H Absolutely, and about twice the power to weight ratio making it an absolute adrenalin charged blast to drive.

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Having seen the Porsche GT1 one race in the FIA GT series, I would have recognized this car immediately...and promptly lost my mind! Sean's reply that he parked his Porsche on the street "and all the body panels were stolen" was a perfectly legitimate answer, and delivered like a true New Yorker. Mega content, Tim!

[@Datoda]

It isnt a GT1 though

[@Kxji]

Sean is a mad lad.

[@Goxilla]

The headlights making it look like a transformer. Seeing all those parts makes you think how much it takes to make a car like this. My all time fav car

I think this would look preety sick with clear panels on and the silver crash bar painted green. Mad man !

[@ASpectreOfSorts]

I can't help but wonder if this is the car that Ben Chen wrecked in NYC a couple years ago. That car seemed like the perfect candidate for something like this.

[@nolanmackey4175]

Pretty sure Ben retained ownership and has it hidden away somewhere. This was a Europe based car that was satin black and like green.

[@PurifiedOG]

@@nolanmackey4175 Bens car is sold, it is not this one and not the black Gemballa either you mentioned either. Chassis 25/25 which was a Suzuka Gray looking color last seen in Dubai is the car in this video. Bens car is still within the US as well.

[@mezgermischief]

@@PurifiedOG ^^^^ Yup spot on, bens old car has been mechanically rebuilt, doesn't have body panels currently, not sure what the new owner is planing on (back to oem panels or gemballa), seen the car a few times

[@nolanmackey4175]

@@PurifiedOG where is Ben’s car currently? I’m surprised it was able to change hands at all given the attention it received.

[@jailbreak1227]

@@PurifiedOG I doubt this is 25/25. There's slight, but noticeable differences between this car and #25. For starters the middle section of the wing on #25 is painted in acid green, however this one is black. The roof scoop on #25 is finished in fully exposed carbon with the bottom section being grey, however in the video you can see it's matte black with a gloss black finish on the base instead. The a-pillars are also finished in matte black, however on #25 they're painted in grey. There's also numerous differences on the interior too. On #25 the seats are partially finished in leather, however they're fully alcantara in the video. The seatbelts are also lime green on #25, however they're black in the video. In the video there's also this lime green strip on the top of the dashboard, however on #25 it's black.

Most people I know say it correctly. At least, here in NYC.

[@matthewshaw3144]

It reminds me of when we were kids and my best mate’s dad was restoring Triumph TR2 and no body panels or interior. We sat on cushions and drove around a mini race track on the farm. It was so cool and super light. Wouldn’t it be amazing if they could do a transparent carbon so you’d see all that detail. Acrylic would be too fragile and crack.

[@SCDC-Channel]

Just EPIC! I have been lucky enough to see one skeleton CGT years ago at some local servis....

[@gregoryfranks7347]

this is the same car that Stradman drove with you correct? i love these things. i still have my issue of european car mag when this 1st came out. the article had a white one with white wheel on 1 side black on the other. the roof scoop stays on with to roof sections out. what i thought was that they would eventually offer a few with some kind of engine upgrade. 9ff built a bi supercharged but ive always thought id wake up one day and someone would have stroked to 5.2l or did a twin turbo but i guess they just got to valuable. the body on this is the most aggressive car ever built then add that roar that sonds like nakd playboy angels with electric harps playing metallica battery. its the most brutal roar it just tickles my pickle. straight wood. you my friend are an utter nutter, in the best possible way . glad you didnt Ben Chen it!!! thank you so much for showing us this insane car. please do more tuner porsches. i am a RUF fanatic. cheers

Today Tim experiences what every Jeep owner experiences but with an ultra rare V10 Porsche. Imagine if you could find a wrecked CGT to do this to with a small light weight battery, no cats and straight piped, with whatever mods there are and ultra light weight or CF wheels.

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

Woo hoo! A Porsche Atom lol. I'm guessing a bit flexy maybe but, it should accelerate like an Aerial Atom and could be a blast on a racetrack. I didn't recognise it as a Porsche at all, I thought it more resembled a Lamborghini. I love the idea of it either way.

They should put some more aero parts on it handle the airflow better, would look more thought out but this is straight MADNESS!!
