Looks great but I have to ask how well it handles compared to the standard car. Also has the aero balance been measured to assure that that massive rear wing will not unbalance the car at speed?

"The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is no longer the most track-focused street car from Stuttgart's rear-engined fellowship. This is.
It's a one-off built by a company called Orbit Racing that takes the aesthetics and most of the mechanical gubbins from the 911 RSR - the same car that raced in this year's Le Mans 24hr - together with kevlar arch liners, new wheel wells, diffuser panels and a bucket load of splendidery to create one of the hardest street-legal racers ever.
Using a MKII GT3 RS as the foundation, Orbit sourced parts directly from Porsche's race car and then bolted them on. It keeps the 435bhp 3.8-litre flat-six but cozened the 911 RSR's exhaust and had its ECU tinkered to digitally create more horsepower. Underneath, the suspension has been reworked to Nurburgring-winning racer specification, so with that inordinately large wing on the back and trick suspension, this thing's likely to stick to the track like a melted Haribo.
But don't think that the owner is just going to take this on the track. It has maintained a lot of the sound insulation so that it can also be used daily and has been spotted regularly on the street."
