A tuning shop almost nobody has heard of just walked into the Ultrace show in Düsseldorf and dropped one of the most audacious 911 builds in recent memory. It’s a modern Slantnose that Porsche itself hasn’t gotten around to making yet.

The company is called Indecent. The car is called the 020. It started life as a humble 991.1 Carrera 2 before being transformed into something that channels the spirit of the legendary 930 Turbo Slantnose with a confidence that borders on reckless.

Rumors have swirled for months that Porsche is developing its own Slantnose revival. While Stuttgart deliberates, Indecent shipped a finished car. First shown as renders last year, the 020 made its physical debut this past weekend, and the reaction has been immediate.

The front end is the showpiece. The standard 911 headlights are gone entirely, replaced by units repositioned flanking the radiator grille — a treatment that echoes the Aston Martin Valour more than any modern Porsche. Widened arches, aerodynamic louvers, and a completely resculpted nose give the car a road presence that puts it in GT3 RS territory without aping the RS formula.

Out back, Indecent fitted a bespoke rear section with a chassis-mounted wing on exposed struts. There are no oversized side air intakes. The result is cleaner and more deliberate than the current RS, which has started to look like it’s wearing its engineering on the outside.

The whole car is painted white. The 20×10-inch front and 20×12-inch rear wheels are white too, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. That monochromatic restraint makes the shapes do all the talking.

Underneath, the 3.4-liter flat-six has been force-fed not by turbochargers but by a supercharger, pushing output to 550 horsepower. Superchargers deliver linear, immediate power — the opposite of the lag-then-rush character that defines most boosted Porsches. It sends all of that through a seven-speed manual gearbox with a custom shift lever to the rear wheels only.

Supporting the extra grunt: Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, adjustable Öhlins coilovers, a front axle lift system, and a stainless steel exhaust.

If the exterior whispers, the interior screams. Purple leather and Alcantara cover nearly every surface, matched by a color-coded roll cage and carbon fiber bucket seats. It’s the kind of decision that either delights you or offends you, and Indecent clearly doesn’t care which.

The timing here is brutal for Porsche. The 930 Slantnose is one of the most fetishized silhouettes in the marque’s history, and the factory has been sitting on its potential for years. A small, previously unknown shop just executed a cohesive, mechanically serious, visually striking interpretation before the manufacturer could get its own version to market.

That gap between corporate product planning and a small team with conviction has never looked wider. Indecent built a car that doesn’t just reference 911 heritage — it argues for a version of the 911 that Porsche seems reluctant to make. Raw, manual, rear-drive, supercharged, and willing to take aesthetic risks that would never survive a focus group in Weissach.

Whether Porsche’s own Slantnose eventually materializes or not, the 020 has already staked its claim. Sometimes the best homage comes from outside the family.
