For the purists, the idea of taking gin Porsche 911 and changing it to not only a wide but also to carry a sloping nose is something reserved for only a select few. Some would certainly laugh at the idea of doing such a thing with a 997, although honestly they would scoff at the idea with a 996 even more, but we think the This construction draws the view wonderfully.
Excellent Bad Idea: Ariel Nomad Tactical
Even though the car hails from Stuttgart, this 911 now lives there Japan. That helps explain the uncertain level of normal work that is poured into it. Many Japanese owners like to shave, trim, prune and remove their driveways to create something new.
Not everyone likes the results. But we seem to have some pretty amazing Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and plenty of other brands used in very unique ways.
This particular build was made by Mun Luck, a gearhead who lives in Gunman, Japan. It's obvious that the man is proud of his trip and we're sure he loves the video that Harnett Media made showing it. After all, not only is the cinematography fantastic, it features a cool soundtrack to create just the right vibe.
The front end of this car is courtesy of the Slant Slant Old and New Japan Porsche 997 conversion kit. You may not have seen one before because they are not very popular in the US and elsewhere, but there are others.
With the modified nose comes the movement of the headlights in the lower front fascia. That really changes the look of the 997.
As for extensive treatment, it is something common to do in Japan. People do it elsewhere, but this one not only has sick fender flares, it's been dropped to the height of an ant on the road. That low, wide stance just looks like a predator ready to strike.
Thanks to airbags, the owner can keep this 997 from going out. The track also sports a roll cage, aftermarket exhaust, nice wheels, and probably plenty more.
Sit back and enjoy this video, it's really cool.
