In another memorable Akihabara itasha sighting, photos of a Porsche given the ita treatment have surfaced, with the subject being Lucky Star’s famous tsundere, Kagami Hiiragi.
Owners of itasha tend towards more expensive and sporty cars for use, much as a painter would prefer to use a high quality canvas for his artwork, but going as far as using a Porsche is certainly beyond the norm…
The car was sighted parked in front of Tora no Ana’s main Akihabara store on Saturday. Akiba Blog reports that the car was parked for at least a number of minutes before the owner returned and drove off in a hurry.
Since this is undoubtedly the same “yellow Kagami Porsche” from the Comiket 75 that was reported (but not photographed) on 2ch, and Tora No Ana is one of Japan’s biggest doujinshi and manga retailers, we can safely guess that the proud owner was off buying doujinshi.
The official Lucky Star website and what apear to be sponsor badges are printed on the side of the vehicle, but as far as I’ve been able to investigate this is actually just a particularly avid fan’s work and not a publicity itasha, such as those pictured at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
The eroge itasha Lamborghini and Lancia Stratos used by Nitroplus and Age are more expensive than this Porsche, but as those are showcars and the Kagami Porsche is actually being driven (and parked in Akihabara’s main street, no less), it should probably receive bonus points…
Deredere Kagami peeking out the window is a very nice touch.
I’m not much of a car enthusiast (I prefer motorcycles), so I can’t easily identify the model of the car. It’s not a 911, is it?

Have we had a Ferrari Testarossa given the itasha treatment for Fate yet?
someone should make itasha to each car from nanoha (most character's name in nanoha are taken from vehicle name)
yes its a 911. but the older model a "996" http://www.deutschnine.com/porsche-911/porsche-history-images/porsche-996.jpg
you can see the difference to the new version of the 911 ("997") through the headlights http://germancarscene.com/wp-content/uploads/porsche-997-31-1-07.jpg
A kagami and porsche fan just like me :)
looks to be an '03 911 to be exact.
There needs to be a Konata version :D
Definitely. I'd buy it.
You must have quite some funds at your disposal.
And a Tsukasa!
I'd prefer a Miyuki version myself . . .
talking about motorcycles..
does anybody seen an motorcycle itasha?
I've been thinking for 'pimp my motorcycles' by giving otaku look (coz i don't have a car, and I like motorcycles better)
but when searching for inspiration on the internet, i haven't found an image of motorcycle itasha until now..
or maybe the name for motorcycles is not 'itasha'?
but and otaku themed bycicle also called itasha right? CMIIW.
anyway, if anybody have any info regarding motorcycle itasha, wouldn't you mind sharing it with me,
thx~ ^^
Try Itabike.
I saw a picture of a ToHeart ita-moped, but alas, I lost it. Was going to post it too...
痛バイク（Itabaiku) is the preferred name for ita-motorcycles, I believe. Try googling the Japanese word I just gave.
They're a lot less common than itasha, but I have seen some.
Wow!! Great!!
I found a lot.. Thanks, it really helps ^^
...
LoL!! i never guess that dakimakura cover would fit nicely to the motorcycle's seat.. XD

I need to see that in person.
awesome~
Heh, its a pre-2002 Porsche 911 Carrera. The car is not really that expensive as one thought as the value depreciates quite a lot for that model of Porsche. None the less, the itasha job on the car seems rather nice, not too over the top as the Nitro+ car.....
Hold up right there.
The regular 996-series 911's didn't get the Turbo lights until 2002.
Can you imagine the face of some hardcore car enthusiast if they saw this? The kind who doesn't know the difference between China and Japan, let alone know of the mere existence of anime. I imagine it would be rather traumatising to certain people.
I was right acroos the street when I saw that....woah werid...
Hate to say what all that does for the resale value...
