Not a Z4 but an interesting project !?

Came across this website, whilst not Z4 based the kits are based on arguably the spiritual predecessor.
Anybody ever seen one ?

I have come accross those before. Prety things. 8) Not seen one in the metal though.
 
Not seen one of those before but I think it's stunning ! I had a Triumph Spartan kit car based on a Herald Chassis about 30 years ago, great fun, pushed it for miles :D
 
Looks good in the photo, must try and get to see one in the flesh to look at panel gaps and overall proportions etc. The Ferrari kit certainly looks better than the Kobra, proportions, wheel to wing gaps and the front end just looks wrong.
Then decide whether it stacks up as next winters project.
 
It does look good, especially the red one in the linked advert. :thumbsup:
 
I've had a few kit cars over the years and the trouble with this one in my opinion is that they've taken all the styling cues and features of the Ferrari 250 SWB but the overall proportions are all wrong. Then to compound the problem the 250 SWB was only ever produced as a coupe, NOT a drophead.

So to my eyes it just doesn't look RIGHT :cry: 20190503_202745.jpg
The rear is terrible, just too high20190503_203537.jpg
Maybe some SNAP exhaust tips would help ?20190503_204900.jpg
They would have been better going with the California Spyder. As a proper drophead and with its longer front and rear overhangs it is a MUCH better looking car ! :wub: 20190503_202049.png
 
I've been looking at Factory 5 kits for years now wanting to build one from ground up, so this is tempting at a third of the cost all in. Silly question on the korba kit here, how do you get under the bonnet without removing the whole front? Since it's all one piece front is it just using the normal hinges or have they worked something else out?
 
Saw this one today at Thoresby Park classic car show, what gave it away was the Z3 interior.20190505_130625.jpg
