I have always been a huge fan of Magnus Walker, for may reasons. It's not just his collection of cars, although the multitude of classic Porsche 911s that fill his warehouse garage is reason enough. Maybe it is his style, both automotive and personal. Some of the things he does to his cars would make most other classic Porsche enthusiasts cringe, while his beard, dreads, and tattoo sleeved arms would make most yuppies wet their pants in a dark alley. Then again, maybe it is because the man came from nothing and truly realized the American dream, building a small clothing company into a multi-million dollar business. Or all the above?
Either way, its not wonder he did what he did when Sharkwerks left their 775HP 997 GT2 project car in his possession and told him to treat it as his own. They should have known better; Magnus doesn't seem to drive anything as plain looking. I have to say, the results of his makeover were pretty bad ass.
You can check out more pictures of this car, and all of Magnus's 911s on his blog:
