Porsche GT3 RS - Worlds Slowest Car...?

Thundering through corners at blistering speeds, touch-sensitive controls matched with the rip-roaring of a V12 – that’s the Porsche we all know and love.

The GT3 RS

Using Ultra Light Construction materials, an Austrian car enthusiast has put together the worlds lightest Porsche to date, it happens to be the slowest too – so ignore my previous introduction.

The Ferdinand GT3 RS takes the, well everything, out of Porsche. Constructed with plastic tubing, balsa wood and wheels so slim they’re not even bike-legal, you won’t be thundering round the Nuremberg in this one.

Essentials have been left out of the GT3 RS, and by essentials I mean everything – even the engine. This is a pedal-powered, leg-burning green machine, able to reach 0-60 in, well, never.

On display the Lentos Museum of Art, Linz, Austria – you’ll forgive if anyone who attempts to steal this vehicle as the get-away inside it will be worth the effort. Although if two thieves tried their hand at nabbing this golden beast, they might be able to carry it out – as it weighs just under 100 kilograms.

Draped in a golden finish, that’s duct-tape not paint, the GT3 RS will turn heads when ridden down around your place of residence, albeit quite slow, slightly confused heads.

Producing...0bhp...

It’s important to note here that, although it does replicate that of a Porsche 911 and has the same name of the company’s founder, the GT3 RS has nothing to do with the manufacturer (thank god!).

Recommended to suite drivers who hold James May’s ‘Captain Slow’ ethos mind, anyone who par-takes in the Tour De France and in general anyone who fancies a themselves a bit of a trend-setter – be sure to see if you can get your very own one built.

On a personal note, you may wish to purchase some weights, as if the wind picks up, you may find your Porsche has blown away.
