RichTT Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Just surfing and seen this, Specialist Cars of Malton Ltd : The Ultimate 993 Turbo Cant believe the work came to this amount,some garage must have seriously overcharged. Also I notice there is no price tag. My step brother spent £6000 on his £1000 Citreon Saxo,puts that into perspective.

cruiser647 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yuk! The price will be that high due to the carbon fibre interior door and seat fittings. Fancy brake caliper paint and maybe the wheels weigh 1Kg each or something ridiculous Anyway, what's with the schoolboy rivets on the wheel arches?

shark_90 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I've seen that car in the flesh, and it's something else. The 993 GT2 had riveted arch extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that Saxo go then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a massive gain on what it originally had though, given how much work has been done, it says originally it had 520bhp, then the turbos were changed and it was 540bhp, then all that other work was done and it's 'only' got 580bhp? Why remove the sunroof to save weight, then fill the roof gutters with lead? Anyway, everyone knows the saxo would wipe the floor with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 The 993 is the definitive 911 in my opinion. Not sure about the rivetted arches, but still, what an awesome car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 That's amazing! You can even see the nobber taking the picture! I wonder if the one on the left is bass, and the one on the right is treble? Like a piano? 1.5 exhaust per cylinder, is that some kind of record?!

Jamiekip Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I love that porsche and was lucky enough to see it in person. No expense spared in it's modification... even down to a carbon insert where the rear window sits, that lifts the rear glass flush with the body work, and note to rain channels in the roof have been removed so the roof is smooth..... all very nicely done. It's a bargain for someone now considering what was spent... and 993's are starting to go up in value. FYI - i think it started out with 420bhp, so a 160bhp increase. If my euro numbers come in tonight i'll be giving them a call :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that those wheels will weight a fair bit more than the stock items. Given that the rims are wider than the tyres it looks like a case of bling over performance. For £183,000 you could have bought a Ruf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance Jon Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 When you see it up close it is more finished than a RUf. IIRC it was available for around the 70k mark. The roll cage is awesome, it goes behind the b pillars and it almost undetectable. A true track weapon you can use everyday. when you keep looking at it you keep noticing little details, the extra effort the guy has gone to make it perfect. I think he has a car modding version of OCD. Me and shark just kept walking round it and staring, and that is some testament as there is a lot of heavy metal in that place to distract you.

RichTT Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Like the saxo picture-any more?what is it with exhausts. 70k seems pretty good price for the porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
