Intended as the Mule for testing prototyping products, for Ltd production. Exactly the kind of car I’m sure we would all enjoy only if Porsche had made a ‘996R ‘ The car is currently at live auction, with six days to run at £32,500 Shame in Australia despite the cars and coffee skiting cred as you leaned on the carbon autoclaved roof , I couldn’t imagine anyone because of entry cost and originality worries building a type of car to this extent in OZ Where’s all the wide boy 996 oz mod crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey,; not seen in flesh or web, many extensively well conceived wildly modded base 996’s. aside from track cars. if I include generationally 986’s, then can only look to @MFX for an equivalent guffaw the CLR is very OEM in execution and arguably has mods that most of us would enjoy , appreciate and lust for, it also appearing to be OEM user friendly. interested in what people in Oz are doing with their 996’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shedpest Posted 22January, 2021 Report Share Posted 22January, 2021 I removed the rear wiper on my 996 when I had it, does that count as modded? Dalai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve996 Posted 22January, 2021 Report Share Posted 22January, 2021 Wish I could add something to this, but I’m stock as a rock. This thread definitely needs more pics though (not of fibreglass, of proper mods). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 22January, 2021 Report Share Posted 22January, 2021 Here's the link to the auction of Richards CLR: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1998-porsche-911-996-carrera-clr A truly inspirational build. A mind boggling amount of time, talent and passion has gone into this car. For me it represents the ultimate expression of what an NA, non-GT3 996 can be. Hope the lucky new owner cherishes it, drives the doors off of it and tells us all about it. Best wishes Richard @CLR and a sincere thank you for the joy you've bought me reading/watching your 996 and Alfa 105 exploits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 22January, 2021 Report Share Posted 22January, 2021 I quite like that as a track car. It combines both new and old styling, though it needs a cup car wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
