To me its pretty obviously Photoshopped. I'd like to see it minus the paint decorations, they are distracting.

Re: Cool outlaw on Facebook
I gotta say, the render on the cover of the current 356 Registry Magazine stopped me in my tracks. For two reasons. My first thought was, "Wow, they're really leaning into the 'outlaw wing' of the club!" And then, immediately thereafter, I was ushered back in time to a margin advertisement in Hot VWs magazine from 1980 for an Intermeccanica "Speedster C". Big, fat, fender flares like our magazine cover "car"; I wanted it immediately--the coolest car I'd ever seen. I knew next to nothing about Porsches, except that I'd been reading R&T since I was 8 years old--about 12 years by then. So I knew of Speedsters and thought maybe I could find one of these used, rather than a new fiberglass version. Save some money. And maybe without a motor, because I knew VW motors and could I put one in there?
A copy of Excellence magazine from the newsstand was next and therein was another margin ad. This one with a faceless magician in a top hat proffering "Secrets of the Inner Circle". For sale from Automotion, in Santa Clara. As it turns out, that was a lunch hour drive away from where I worked. So I got "The ABCs..." in a brown binder, and "Secrets" in a red cover. Never did get the Speedster, but directly due to this club and the fine folk in it, I got my '59 coupe 24 years ago. No flares...yet. But that render on the cover, and these renders.... they got me thinkin'.
