In the sea of distinctive cars on display at the SEMA Show recently, this 1986 Porsche 911 Targa Hybrid first caught our eye with its colourful looks. As you can see from the photos, it’s painted black and decorated with contrasting stripes of blue, pink, orange, yellow, and green—not far from a rainbow. Nostalgic fans will certainly remember the 911 Turbo produced in partnership with Polaroid in the late 1970s, which largely inspired this creation.
