Speed, lots of power and…. GREEN? The hottest cars on the market today push the envelope when it comes to performance, fuel economy, technology. With cars like the Porsche 918 Spyder looming on the horizon, promising rediculous performance figures (198 MPH, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, 718 HP, all while giving us 78 MPG), the future of cars truly lies in the maximization of a cars efficiency as opposed to the old school approach of building a strong chassis, and then simply throwing power at it until it goes like hell. As evidenced by the 918 Spyder, along with the new GT3 R Hybrid and Cayenne Hybrid, Porsche has spearheaded the movement they like to call “Intelligent Performance”. There is no doubt that these new hybrid cars give us both performance and efficiency. But what if you can’t wait for a Hybrid Porsche and have a budget that is much, much smaller than the $800,000+ estimated price of the 918 Spyder, or even the Cayenne Hybrid’s $67,700? How about if all you can afford is a bicycle but you want the looks of a GT3 RS? Well, I’ve got the solution for you: The Ferdinand GT3 RS
Hit the jump for the build gallery and more information…
Built from nothing more than a quad-cycle, PVC piping, packing tape, and dreams, the Ferdinand GT3 RS is the lifeblood of artist Hannes Langeder. Smitten by the curves of the original GT3 RS, Langeder used the Porsche as a muse for his interpretation of “speed”. While not exactly fast, it is definitely the most unique GT3 RS I have ever seen.

Really nice idea. Unique Porsche for sure.
I`m just not convinced by the golden skin. What about a thin layer of airbrushed styropor/polystyrol ?
Lol.. How cool would it be if that sold as a kit for kids to build… a life size Lego porsche GT3 RS Lol… nah nvm Lego, those things are expensive.. keep the PVC and duct tape.
