Pretty cool, but it looks more like an Audi in back, Ferrari or Ford GT40 in front than a Porsche. Doesn't mean I won't love it, though!

Love the exhaust pipes. The problem with Ryan getting one is he won't be able to give us rides...

Looks most like a "Noble" to me. Heck, take off the RSR lettering on the back and it could be almost "anyones" supercar. Curious.. but not excited by this one.
