Question What is this? Quiz of the day with video!

Saw this in Dubai, UAE today. It has be confused because of several things going on at the same time... I know, I know, the first is the color, but after you get past that, I can't seem t classify this car.

So, to the guru's, tell me what this is. Is it a 996 GT3, a 997 GT3 (hmmm... exhaust is wrong) or something else? Its the UAE so anything goes, including mix and match combo.

Guru's chime in!

PS, oddly, the pink was.. uhmm... "attractive"

It's a Targa 4 (non S) with an Aerokit.

Gawd awful!

Actually, it seems to be a standard Carrera to me (non S, non 4).

Here's a picture of it, a widebody 4's taillights would not be flush with the bumper as this is, they have a little bit of a inset gap.

Correct.

C'mon Stoppie, obviously isn't a Targa. The window line is round, does not come to a point in the back as per Targa. You sell these things!

Square exhaust = non-S
Roof = non-Targa

997 with aerokit. Can't tell about the 4 part from the video, personally. Hips could go either way and it blurs when I look at the taillights from the back.
