I want one too! Maybe Ruf will make one for us?

But perhaps the whole replica/kit car market is more relevant to this discussion.
I consider RUF a custom shop, not mass producing (or small batch producing) a replica.

RUFs are built from unmarked Porsche bodies and chassis. When a chassis arrives, RUF builds their own independent work into the car. Because RUF installs many of their own-made parts (not to be confused with badge engineering), the company is recognized as a manufacturer by the German government.

If it's the former I guess we should start flaming Geekhouse, Yamaguchi and plenty of other high end builders for using triple triangle designs and for their lack of ingenuity. Right?
It's a copy of the GTB design but using a modern fork.
