    Just beautiful... DP Motorsport is offering a new take on the classic Porsche 911. The restomod pays tribute to the legendary 911 S/T race car. Image Credit: DP Motorsport

    Based on a 1985 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe, DP Motorsport's project is a tribute to the legendary race car that helped pave the way for the iconic Porsche RS and RSR in the early Seventies.. Image Credit: DP Motorsport

    Going back in time... Even though this is a 1985 911, the German tuner has made it look like a model from the previous decade by taking a 'less is more' approach. Image Credit: DP Motorsport

    It's a good job that the Porsche 911 is a very adaptable platform to begin with as it can be anything from a hardcore track car to a sporty, yet comfortable grand tourer but what DP Motorsport has done is nothing short of epic!... Image Credit: DP Motorsport

    So what has the tuner done? Well for starters, they have given it a set of 15in Fuchs alloys that are then wrapped in sticky Michelin 225/50 and 270/45 tyres. Image Credit: DP Motorsport

    All in the details... Aside from a new front and rear bumper and turn signal elements, it also features chrome-plated window frames, door handles and exterior mirror housings to the mimic the early Seventies cars... Image Credit: DP Motorsport

    As for the cabin, it has retro-inspired bucket seats wrapped in fabric and synthetic leather, four-point harness belts, a period-correct roll cage, and a 13.7in Momo steering wheel. Image Credit: DP Motorsport

    The lower part of the dashboard and the door panels use braided plastic reinforced with fiberglass that has a similar look to woven leather. Image Credit: DP Motorsport
