A Worldwide Affair

The classic air-cooled Porsche 911 craze is not only confined to the U.S., but is a worldwide occurrence with hot-rods, restorations, and custom backdates popping up at an astounding rate. Classic Porsches are as hot as ever and the trend looks to continue for years to come. With this in mind, it was no surprise that numerous awesome cars featured at a recent Tokyo Auto Salon event in Japan were overshadowed by a little old 911.

4 Laws Custom

Details are a bit sparse on this Porsche, but it is an apparently a build in progress by '4 Laws' (a division of Tokyo Custom Works) from Tokyo, Japan. The 911 serves to feature their superior infusion carbon molding technology that has been completed on the entire body of the car.

Built on a Turbo

The car apparently started life as a 1981 930 Turbo, which would explain the wide fender flares, but it has obviously been backdated during the carbon fiber transformation to feature the desirable long-hood design that tends to be favored among Porschephilles over the later impact bumper styling.

A Blast From the Past

With this supposedly being a build in progress, its assumed that a modified turbocharged flat-six will eventually live under the rear decklid, but without the turbo whale tail that has been synonymous with classic turbo models. The lid has instead been replaced with a traditional decklid to give the car a more traditional sloping profile.

Invisible Interior

The windows were also completely blacked-out to give the 911 a more sinister look, but this also reinforces the idea that there is still likely a complete interior refurbishment in progress. Similarly, nothing can be spotted through the decklid grille, nor was the front trunk ever opened for viewing. 

Crafting Carbon

What was extremely noticeable was the exquisite carbon-fiber work that has been completed on every exterior panel of the car. 4 Laws infusion carbon technique is said to be a combination of both wet and dry carbon fiber production that creates a material that is almost as lightweight as wet carbon panels, but is considerably stronger than any other carbon fiber type offered.

A Splendid Stance

Another telling aspect of the car's body is that it is missing the traditional cutouts in front of the rear wheels for the rear suspension torsion bars, thus hinting that it has been converted to a coilover suspension setup. In any case, the car is rolling on a set of perfectly flush 15" Watanabe RS wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan tires.

Until Completion

The 4 Laws Porsche is definite eye-candy that exhibits that classic 911 look but has been constructed with modern materials. The Porsche world has their eye on this carbon-shelled beauty and can't wait to see how the remainder of the build materializes. Until then, we'll continue to gaze at the abundance of carbon weave.
