Hot, but something is wrong. is that a boxter with a kit? If so it's amazing.

For one thing, the brake alipers aren't quite right... they should be yellow with the ceramic (PCB) and the back tires are way too big. BUT the wheels are centerlock which would be major $$$ and the rotor looks right.

Maybe I'm wrong, just something not quite right. Maybe they're race tires.

yeah i thought all porsche with ceramic brakes have yellow calipers, do they allow you to choose the color?

somehow the car looks a bit weird to me as well, maybe the angle, maybe the color

Yeah, it seems those are slicks and maybe it is some sort of race setup. I figure the guy had the brakes painted black to complete the black/white look.

The Centerlock wheels do lead me to believe it is a true CGT, just the guy really must track it.

I think Porsche allows you to have your calipers painted to whatever color you desire

Here's another GT with calipers matching the wheels

Lol theres no possible way that could be a boxster, ever, the cost to have a lookalike clone would approach 100K very very quickly..

Looks like that thing is setup for serious trackage, you got track 3 piece wheels, and the front camber looks nicely setup.
