Hit start.
Yes, this is a replica, but one that makes an awful lot of sense. It’s probably the closest most mere mortals will ever come to driving a 917, but without having to worry about the original’s famously fragile flat-12 engine. Plus, it costs peanuts compared to the real …
Nice replica. Despite some noses in the air there are a few replicas and dare I say, kit cars that are quite legit and deserve respect. A few that come to mind in no particular order, Devin, Caterham 7, Ariel Atom, Meyers Manx, Superlite SLC, Nobel GTM, Superformance, Factory 5, & Kirkham AC Cobras and Daytona Coupes. Beck and Intermeccanica made nice Porsche Speedster and 550 Spyders, too.
Beautiful !!!
but still a lot of buttons to save, for a regular Cheap guy.
In reply to Don2001l : True. I often wonder who the authors are speaking to when they point out an original collector car is worth seven figures but you can have the replica for only the low six figures. A deal comparatively, but still the price of a suburban home or summer cottage in most areas of the country.
