    At the 2023 Werks Reunion Amelia Island, there was an Iris Blue 993 GT (aka, GT2) parked prominently on the show field. We soon met the owner, PCA member Nish Pillai, who explained how this 911 Turbo, originally bought in the Japanese market, was transformed to look and perform like the GT2 in period, using mostly factory parts. From the bodywork to the engine, gearbox, and suspension, no area has been left untouched. Since taking ownership in 2023, he's continued to perfect the impressive build. Watch our video about Nish and his car soon!

    Great tribute. But the GT should have all orange blinker corners. Would look much better that way.

    What a beautiful car! It was so good to see Damon’s honest reaction to the car during the drive. Thanks to the owner for allowing PCA to drive and film it so we could experience it.

      Thanks so much. We truly appreciate Damon, Vu, Bogden and the rest of the PCA team for the opportunity.

    What an epic build, as the owner of a 1995 993, albeit a C2 Cabriolet, I would love to see this car in the flesh. Great job.

    8:40 min - the talking stops and the driving starts. 👍

    Rad car, but now way it can keep up with a 997s in a straight line on low boost.

    Call it a replica, no need to be pretentious and calling it a “tribute.”

      Oftentimes in the automotive sphere “replica” denotes that the car in question has a wholly different start in life; for example a Pontiac Fiero which has been made to look like a Lamborghini Diablo. The DNA of those two vehicles couldn’t be less related. “Tribute” is a more accurate term when painstaking lengths have been made to reproduce a car as closely as possible to the original by using a donor which is as close as possible to the actual car being reproduced. This car is still a Porsche because it started life as a Porsche. It’s the reason why replica Speedsters aren’t allowed to join PCA, because they’re technically not a Porsche. The term is hardly pretentious, and neither is the owner. Saw this car in person at a show and he couldn’t have been more outgoing, accommodating or generous with his time!
