Here's Why This Replica Porsche 911 GT3 RS Would Give Purists A Heart Attack

While this is technically still a Porsche, its whats under the skin of this pretend-991 GT3 RS that may be bothersome

This is a comprehensive GT3 RS conversion, that is based on a 987 Boxster

The creator of this GT3 RS replica is swapped out the 2.7-liter boxer engine for a Tesla powertrain

When finished, the EV 991 GT3 RS will look exactly like Paul's thrid project - a white GT3 RS

The new body is all fiberglass except for the doors

Not detail left untouched. The 991 GT3 RS replica even gets proper mirrors

Eventually, the EV 911 GT3 RS will get a 991 dashboard in place of the 987 dash

The Tesla e-motor will provide 500 horsepower - exactly the same as a real 991 GT3 RS

The creator of this replica believes he can achieve similar weight and weight distribution to the real GT3 RS

The Boxster's convertible body style means a lot less cutting is required, compared to a Cayman

This allows for a more straightforward mounting of the roof and side panels that form the iconic 911 roofline
