Car looks stunning! Was wondering about getting the air to the turbos since the side ducts are gone. Also pretty slick having the pipes exit like the GT3. I'm sure there is some fancy tubing underneath to make it work.

Notice in the second to last pic that it appears to have the fold down back seats. So I bet that this thing started off as a 997 TT and then was modded to add the GT3 rear fenders, front and rear bumpers and exhaust tubing. Must have cost a fortune. Perhaps it started off as a 997 GT3RS and the TT motor was added.
Would love to know the real story here.
Either way, I think it would be cool if the guy added a logo on the back that said "Turbo RS"

The only probable way this would work is if it has air-water intercoolers and the heat exchangers are in the front. In which case, water lines run all the way down to the front from the inlet side of the ICs into designated radiators and then back again to the outlet. Would be a lot of extra weight, but a killer setup.
I am REALLY CURIOUS to see what the intercooler airflow solution is.
Nah, not RUF mirrors. RUF mirrors only have one post, these have two posts. Interestingly enough, the close-up shot of the mirror is the only pic of them, in all the other pictures, the car has stock mirrors.
So is the wing a 997GT2 RUF part?

Not really feasible to run boost hoses from the compressors all the way down into the front bumper and then back on either side to the intake plenum.

Nah, not a RUF spoiler. Techart Type II

i also wonder what the intercooler situation is, especially since the car is mildly modified.
