Daily Slideshow: 911 Racer Travels Back in Time
What's better than your standard modern day Porsche? One that takes elements of several Porsche models of the past and molds them into one beautiful design that only lived as a digital concept!
1. Attention to detail
If there's one thing that automotive enthusiasts can appreciate about a car like this, it's the sheer amount of detail that went into planning and executing all the elements that pull this modern Porsche together. For example, all of the "decals" and stripes are not exactly vinyl. In fact, the blue white and stripes are true paint. Normally, the difference in colors is achieved through "wrapping."
2. Performance parts
No modified vehicle is truly considered "modified" without some sort of performance enhancement. On this particular Porsche model, there is a lack of the desired manual transmission. While it's still an automatic, a motor and transmission swap have been planned for the future. In the interim, passersby can enjoy the rumble from the EMP exhaust.
Here's a fun fact: EMP Performance was founded by car enthusiasts Simon Davies and Eldin Paratusic in St. Albans right outside of London.

3. Suspension geometry
Many of the race cars back in the 70's (when the 935 was first debuted) always appeared very low to the ground and had a very low center of gravity to keep it tightly planted around the corners of a race track. While this has been and is typically achieved with a well-sorted set of performance dampers or coilovers, today's choice of suspension parts almost always involved air suspension. A popular outfitter by the name of Airlift supplies this vehicle's suspension bits.

4. Livery
Everyone loves a good sticker. In the automotive world, you can often find many brands and companies slapping plenty of decals on their finished products. Sometimes this includes banners that span the top of the windshield, color-matching decals on the hood or fenders and much more. This usually is done to denote the relationship between the tuning company and the vehicle/car club.

5. Reincarnation
The type of racing Porsche this vehicle embodied is representative of the Porsche 935. The colors and style used are representative of the 1978 Porsche 935 aka "Moby Dick". (Due to the large spoiler representing a "whale tail") This was a true Porsche Racing icon. The back then 935 competed in the 24 hours of LeMans and ended up being the fastest car on the straight at 228mph! Now this is one intense example of taking the 911 Racer back in time!
