Re: Barchetta like cars

This is the car that I believe influenced the team that designed the Barchetta. Note the unmistakable door handles.

That looks like an amateur; I did at least do 3 of my sides, not just the front

Re: Barchetta like cars

I don't think there are many B look-alikes. I think it is a mix of old and new. Those beautiful curves remind me of a classic sports car. Something the modern day competition doesn't measure up to. I think its closest ancestor is the Fiat 850 spyder.

Re: Barchetta like cars

I think nicholas is the closest; I don't really think the Ferraris or the BMW () look anything like it. F4usT is probably only drunk or blind

Re: Barchetta like cars

Or something more classic. The 356 is my dream car, alongside the B.

Re: Barchetta like cars

It does have som resemblances to the Boxter. When I ditched my B the local paper reported it as a Porsche . But after a few mails to the paper from somebody on the local car forum they removed Porsche from the heading
The heading was "Porsche kjørte av veien"...
