There are a few visual cues that don't quite gel for me on the nose.
However, I could live with them as this should be incredible to drive being a Rod Emory build.
I also love the rear end, really interesting and that custom built 2.4/4 looks amazing.

I love it. Only thing I would have different would be for the arch flares to be in the new panels themselves rather bolted onto the other panels but guess there might be practical reasons for that.

I love that-apart from the rear end, that I'm struggling with.
Still 100000000% better than anything I could ever build, so fair place, it's ace!

Personally, I love it. I'm sure Rod Emory has seen enough 356's in his time to have wanted to do something different. I can see inspiration from so many other Porsches in this and it's great.

I quite like it. Back end reminds me of something old and British. At first I thought "Mini Marcos" but having googled that, that aint it.

I've seen this in the flesh, or at least a part finished version and I'm still not sure. There is loads that I like about it, and a few bits I don't. Still great to see something different being attempted.

I think that back end with the turbos visible like that is a nod towards the 935 race cars. Those wheels are right up there with my favourite late '80s sort of thing. Remind me of the Merc Group C cars I think. With the shovel nose the whole concept seems inspired by that era, so its like a late 80s sports prototype Porsche 356. I can dig it as a concept even if some of it doesn't seem to work as well as it ought to in my head.

Ive avoided looking at a standard one to compare this too, I just cant remember the details of a standard one. I really like it, nothing looks out of place, but I'm not sure about the arches, at least the front ones don't look right, and I'm not keen on the wheels personally, but that is minor because A)I couldnt build it, and B) He has and it looks like a weapon.

Not my cup of Rosie-Lee to be honest. I like the wheels and the exposed turbos and a few other details but the over all look is a bit too much like a poorly finished kit car to me. The fit of the front end and engine lid are horrible. Not that the owner gives a flip what I think I'm sure. On a more positive note, this one is more up my alley. (now, just imagine it with the wheels of the other one....)  |

The front needs 356 headlights, not those. THEN it's a winner.
At the moment the front is more like a Daewoo Matiz.

I'm on the fence with this one +1. Still, great to see a different take on the 356. |

All I see is two turbos hanging out the back and that's good enough for me to like it

ok , I'm more of a convert now. as 60six said , needs 356 headlights but i can see more in it now. certainly no shortage of work gone into it!
having said that i still prefer the basic outlaw look on these. such a sublime shape simply just doesn't need messing with too much.
