Cool Porsche 979K

This project was done by a Japanese man named Takeshi Kitano and his friends. His favorite car has always been the 959.
However they knew that Porsche will never bring back the legendary 959.
What they decided to do was to build the 2nd generation 959 by themselves.
Here are some pics and videos..

why why why, why would you do that?
You should never try to make a 997 to look like a 959 or try to make a 959 look like a 997

I never thought the 959 was that nice looking anyway? A breakthrough in tech/performance, yes... of course, it's all subjective.
