So, picture this: a Porsche 911 with a whopping 6.5 horsepower. Sounds like someone made a mistake, right? Unless, of course, it’s squeezed into a go-kart that actually looks like a mini Porsche. Well, lucky for you, this orange-coated beauty is up for grabs on Bring a Trailer.
The Targa-style 911 was put together by Little Roadsters, a Florida-based company that claims to have nailed the art of crafting 2/3-scale replicas of classic Porsche roadsters. And let me tell you, this Targa build lives up to the hype. It’s just downright adorable! The color even kinda matches The Drive’s logo. Too bad we don’t have a fancy office to display this little gem on the wall.
Constructed with fiberglass bodywork on a tubular steel frame, this petite Porsche also boasts a plastic windscreen, a ducktail spoiler, a black Targa-badged roll bar, snazzy “Carrera” graphics, and a Porsche hood emblem to really drive home the mini replica look. Oh, and let’s not forget about the driver-side mirror, door handles, rear bumperettes, and faux features like the fuel door, decklid grille, and exhaust. And that’s just scratching the surface of the exterior.
Inside, the scale 911 is decked out in black vinyl, complete with black molded door panels and a rubber floor mat. The dashboard is styled with simulated gauges and a three-spoke steering wheel, giving you that authentic Porsche feel. Now, when it comes to performance, we’re looking at a 200cc Buffalo single-cylinder engine chilling in the rear. The single-speed transmission offers you the luxury of going forward and reverse, with a floor-mounted shifter and handbrake for added convenience. And if you’re wondering about the specs, this replica 911 Carrera weighs around 550 pounds and can reach a top speed of 30 mph. As for the auction, the current high bid stands at $5,000, with the auction set to wrap up on the afternoon of Friday, May 30. No reserve, folks!
Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something oddly satisfying about a Porsche go-kart with 6.5 horsepower. Not really sure why this matters, but it’s kind of cool, right?
