Not sure what they were going for, but it looks like they made it into a fiero.

Unfortunately, there is no law against bad taste.

That thing is awesome.

Designed by Mad Max's cousin Larry, who never did anything to warrant a nickname.

"the 914 Rankle is a road machine designed to suck on asphault."

I'm pretty sure it would "suck" on any road surface.

LMFAO....SWEEET! Needed a damn good laugh!

Is that Aluminum siding doubling as rocker panels? I guess it is lighter.

Sir,

Just out down the pop rivet gun, back away from the slavage venetian blinds, and no one else needs to get hurt.

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jul 1 2005, 07:01 AM

I think they misspelled "Scary"

The poor thing... I would buy it just to put it back to stock.

Call me crazy, but I kind of like it. And in general, I dislike any body kit I have ever seen for the 914. I even dislike 916 bumpers.

But in this case, I kind of like what he did with it. Obviously the workmanship leaves a lot to be desired as many parts do not fit well and look slapped on. But if you step back and just look at the overall styling, it's not too bad. From the cut out wheelwells to the Elise rear end I think it kind of works.

Do I love it? No. Would I want it? No. But has horrible as other attempts to transform a 914 have been, I think this one is at least interesting and different.

What I really want to see is how the biforcated targa top works.

From the site -- 'It is also recognized that among autos on the road the Porsche 914 is one butt ugly auto. In an effort to reconcile the disparity between the handling properties and the aeordynamics we here at Scari.Org have merged our crafts to bring the Rankle 914.2 into being. '

After what they did, they still have the gall to call a stock 914 "butt ugly"?

I'm with Demick. There are certain features about it that are cool.

The body looks interesting with the trunk chopped off like that.

Front is terrible; somebody said Fiero and this looks like it, but
worse.

Like the back concept; would be cool if done more professionally.

is that a wing made of a rock deflector?

Posted by: Hawktel Jul 1 2005, 04:17 PM

Hey the Front bumper treatment does have some possibilities, What if you cun it open and mounted your radiators out front in that, you could leave your complete front trunk alone it looks like.

Course anyone even taps the front, your getting a new radiator setup.

Could work though.

Gotta like those heat dissipating extruded rocker panels! Horizional heat sinks! The front bumper reminds me of a Disneyland bumper car! He gets an “A” for creativity and an “F” for bad taste. DH

the ass end is kinda cool. interesting mufflers. the rest does make me sick though.

This is the elusive 914 designed by the IDP (insane design posse)- complete with ground defects. The meaning of "Fresh sheet of paper" design doesn't fly here.
When the hack job started to look like caca...starting over would have been essential . Continuing to hack during its buildup , it is obvious that it progressed into a hefty hunk of steaming green manure.

Intersting to see that this car has a website. I recently saw this car in person and have to say it's deffinatly a personal taste. I don't care much for the rear end at all, but that front end was pretty cool I have to admit. The guy who made the car is pretty good with glass and said that the front on this car was his first test, and I saw the second one and the workmanship was much better. The rear ened, we'll I don't like it, kinda looks like a firebird if you ask me, but to each his own I suppose. Oh this car was put together by a club members friend by the way. The club member is goose2 or Randy if you've ever ment him. Really nice guy with a root works six, maybe he will speak up about this car a little bit.
