These are works of art, love these pictures of them.
Any idea if there are any model cars of these, I just might have to buy one

The two silver ones look great, but something looks a slight bit off with the orange one. The orange one looks a bit DIY. The middle silver one looks awesome though. I would love to drive around in that.

^ If you call a Factory built, F1 sourced, Targa Florio winning car DIY then sure. No Joke that Specific 718 GTR (orange) had a V8 installed that Porsche yanked from their F1 program at the time.

Rear-engined, eh? Do you think that is where the engine will be located in the new 718 as well?

 

[Shark]

Top and bottom one's seem much more track focused with the middle one seeing to be more setup for street.

I like how there is a rear grille too. Maybe they will bring that to the new 718.

 

[Porker]

well if 718 is based on the 981 platform and the 981 is rear engined....

 

[Klink]

Rear engine, rear grille, its all coming together now. I guess that would also explain the vents over the rear wheel wells too.

that and probably more ways to vent the engine.

well I dont know If porsche will mimic the original so closely, they may go for a Boxster esque low mount....

 

[Shark]

I wouldn't mind that, it's also along the lines of what i'd expect from them with it.

 

[Klink]

What do you mean by a low mount?

 

[Shark]

he probably means how the engine was mounted.
