Man creates unique Porsche lookalike out of duct tape and plastic pipe – and it’s hiding a bizarre secret
The one-of-a-kind supercar was created by an Austrian artist to challenge drivers' views on luxury motors
FOR many, owning and driving a supercar is at the very top of their wish list.
But given the cost of owning a luxury motor, it remains a dream for most of us.
One savvy motorist decided to take matters into his own hands and create his very own budget supercar.
Austrian artist, Hannes Langeder, built a life-size model of a Porsche 911 using cardboard, plastic pipe, duct tape and a two-man quadracycle.
The pedal-powered vehicle mimics the body shape of the classic sports car almost perfectly, and even comes with working brake and headlights.
And while its creased gold foil covering might give it away, you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for an actual Porsche at first glance.
Capable of carrying a driver and one passenger, the occupants sit inside the motor and pedal their way around town, using two sets of handlebars to steer.
Dubbed the “Ferdinand GT3 RS”, it has air vents in the front to allow airflow into the cabin and weighs just under 100kg.
The car is allegedly even road legal in Austria.
Langeder is said to have created the unique vehicle to challenge the idea that supercars have to be associated with wealth.
The flashy Porsche copy isn’t the only supercar the artist has created, either.
The Austrian also built a pedal-powered Ferrari lookalike called the “Fahrradi Farfalla FFX”.
The Ferrari has been referred to as the “slowest sports car on the road”, while his other creation is known as the “world’s slowest Porsche”.
A representative from Supercar sales platform, , said: “There is no doubt this is the most eco-friendly supercar on the planet.
“The video is a fascinating watch. There’s certainly no other car like this that we know about so it would be interesting to know where it is and what has happened to it?”
