In the world of automotive eccentricity, Larry Chen's channel never fails to deliver. This time, he brings us a pink Porsche 997 S drift car, and let me tell you, it's a sight to behold. This machine is the epitome of non-traditional, with its vibrant pink hue and unique build. And let's not forget, it's electric too, which adds another layer of intrigue.

The team behind this creation wanted to break away from the norm and boy, did they succeed. They managed to get their hands on a couple of shells at a great deal and decided to go all out. From the bumpers to the fenders, doors to the trunk, and even the roof, they built it all in-house. They didn't stop there, though. They sourced subframes from a scrapyard and added their own control arms, hubs, and axles to complete the package.

Under the hood, the pink beast boasts an LS3 engine, courtesy of a Corvette. But here's the genius part - they kept it electric. No push-button start here, my friends. They even managed to retain the stock Porsche engine mount location, thanks to the help of Renegade Hybrids. And let's not forget the light bar and brake lights, seamlessly integrated into the car's design.

Unfortunately, during a test run, disaster struck. The clutch met its untimely demise, leaving the team unable to witness the car's full potential. But fear not, they're determined to fix it and get this pink beauty back on the road. And let's not forget, despite its flamboyant appearance, this Porsche is still plated for the UAE, as they needed it for transportation purposes.

But what sets this pink Porsche apart is its electric powertrain. Instead of opting for a traditional engine, they decided to keep it electric, adding another layer of intrigue to this already captivating machine. And they didn't just stop at the exterior. The team sourced subframes from a scrapyard and added their own control arms, hubs, and axles to ensure this car performs like a dream.
