When you see Monterey and NAPA in the same title you probably ask yourself, why is California's premier wine producing region all capitalized and what does it have to do with the Monterey Car Week?  Poor editing?  Nope.  It's not that Napa.  Instead, it's the NAPA that supplies auto parts.

A 17 Year Old Kid Designed This GT3 Cabriolet. Here's Why Porsche Should Build It.
GT3 Cab
We know that GT3 is Porsche's hardcore version of the 911, but it's not the ultimate hardcore version (that's the GT3 RS). So why not build the GT3 in a cabriolet version? Other manufacturers like Ferrari, Audi and Mercedes all offer a drop top version of their hardcore coupes.  Why shouldn't Porsche? At least that was the thought of 17 year old Steve Morfouasse.  Not only did he design a digital mock-up of the GT3 cab, he created a full marketing package complete with competitive analysis and marketing collateral.  This is his story.
