looks like a 911 from the 70’s. not a 944 or 928 (can tell by the shape of the back window and the placement of the B & C pillars) other than that, I don’t know what to say. ---

It is obviously a 911 but not that old. I don’t know if it is the angle of the picture or what but the profile looks f’ed up. ---

im thinking the plastic pieces ins the front wheel well make it newer, and its got the wrong flare on teh rear wheel opening for a 75 or even an 89 911 (the 2 years i quickly googled) the car also uses a one piece door glass, no vent window, and the mirror mounts on the glass extension, not the door panel > [@AWDrifter](#): > > I don’t know if it is the angle of the picture or what but the profile looks f’ed up. nope, its not the angle of the pic notice the bare metal , they shotened the car, and then changed the door and 1/4 panel so they fit again ---

Based on color and rear bumper I would say early 90s, many older cars have been updated though. ---

Judging by the color (Arena Red) and the shape of the doors and 1/4 panel I’d go with a 996 (99-05) 911. Why they shortened it, I dont know, possibly someone trying to get the more tail happy sensations from the air cooled 911s in their 996. I’m 99% sure it’s a 996, but I’d like to see more pics and know WTF they are doing. ---

I stand corrected. my guess on why they’re shortening it is to meet some sort of race regulations (to get into a smaller class, perhaps?) -or- just to be different from all the other schmucks that drive a porsche. :roll2: j/k to the porsche drivers on here. 😉 ---

The legendary Audi S1 QUATTRO was a shortened version of the SPORT QUATTRO. You may recall it was nicknamed “Shorty”.(If you are old enough)😛 Maybe it is a Carrera 4 and they are building a rally car with a short wheel base. ---
