From those pictures, there is an awful lot of Sabre Sprint in that dasign. I hazard a guess that the same moulds were used for a lot of the floor, bulkhead and rear arches. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

It seems ok, it does rattle a bit when it lands on the other side of the bridge near my village.
