Porsche Boxster: Extreme Weight Reduction for a Good Cause
YouTuber Casey Putsch strips over 700 pounds from a 2007 Porsche Boxster S in hopes of reviving a Lykan Hypersport.
If you’re not familiar with the Lykan Hypersport, you may remember the crazy sequence in the (Fast and the) Furious 7 where the heroes escaped certain death by jumping a rare supercar between two Dubai buildings. Said supercar was the $3.4M USD Lykan Hypersport.
To capitalize on Furious 7’s success, Universal Studios produced a short-lived arena tour called Fast and the Furious Live. In it, a kit-car version of the Hypersport performed several stunts. After the show tanked, Universal auctioned off the various vehicles. And many of them fell into the hands of YouTubers.
One such YouTuber, frequent VINWiki guest Casey Putsch, currently has his hands on the Fast and the Furious Live Lykan Hypersport kit car. Putsch is collaborating with 6Speed Online vendors like Avalon King Ceramic Coating to resurrect the battered kit car as part of Putsch’s Genius Garage student mentorship racing team. But, first, he needs a platform.
Enter the pictured donor 2007 Porsche Boxster S, which Putsch strips down by over 700 pounds before ripping some sweet donuts. Head over HERE to watch the full video and add your thoughts to the discussion in our forum.
