SOOO much work and money went into that steaming pile of mishapen fiberglass.

I googled “Carrera GT Zagato” to see if that’s a real thing and apparently it is!
They only made one and honestly I can’t tell the difference at all between it and a “regular” Carrera GT.

That V6 sure looks like it. And the gauge cluster.

I played softball with a guy who worked at an Earl Sheib, and he said there's a dude in Phoenix who does these sort of things with Fieros. I've seen a few Fiero Lambos driving around.

2016 custom Porsche Carrera GT Zagato replica... Looks like ferrari, porsche carrera gt zaggato, hennessey venom gt, mclaren ect.
When you throw that many buzzwords at it to describe what it looks like, it can’t be good.
Ps. Zagato WTF?

Here’s what I don’t get about these - if you’re going to put so much time, effort, and money into it, why start with a Fiero? It made sense back in the late 90's, but these days you can get a running 986 Boxster for well under $10k to modify. And when you’re done you can still honestly say it’s a Porsche.

What could this dude’s deal be? How many times would you have to sell a boxster with a body kit for twenty grand or so every year in order to make it your full time job? Maybe he clears ten grand on one of these? He can probably sell one per metro region per year. It’s conceivable that this guy is the supercar replicas of the southwest, but if he is he probably makes less than he would at a real job.

Just thinking out loud here because I don’t know anything about what is under the skin of a boxster. But I always assumed the reason there are so many fiero kit cars is because it is a space frame with plastic body panels attached. Pull off the body panels, put on your body kit and call it a day.

The Carrera GT Zagato was a one off introduced in 2013. It features a different roof/engine cover.

For $27k you can either buy an awful ‘80s GM product made to look sort of like a Porsche by a man in a shed, OR you can buy a Porsche made by Porsche that looks like a Porsche, and best of all ISN’T a Fiero.
Tough choice. I’ll have to sleep on it.

Yes, I had to think for a while too, but while sounding like some random craigslist mumbling, it is a real thing.
Not that this makes that mess look any more like a Carrera GT...

Who do they think they’re fooling with this? Women.
What kind of women would think this is real? Ones that you meet at bars at 2 am.
hmm...maybe I should get one

A Fiero at this point can be had for about a tenth of that. A lot of people out there likely don’t want to double their project costs just to say ‘it’s still a Porsche’ when they're done.

Thankfully the ad is full of much other mumbling, aside from the Zagato
