Why would any one build this?

Casually browsing AT and I came across this. I think it may have once been a Megan but that's not the point. I get the AC Cobra replicas. they mostly adhere to a similar ethos that the original was built to. But these 3/4 scale replicas based on common Japanese and Euro boxes I just don't get them. :?

Any way I'm willing to offer 6/10 for the exterior, just as long as they Napalm the dashboard. :evil:

Your thoughts.....
 
I don't get it either. Why have what looks to be a super car, but actually isn't? I would go the other way and have a standard car with wow performance (e.g. Put a turbo on a 2.0l).

That all said, from the pics it actually looks quite good.

Both sides of the same coin. You both do it for the same reason you can't have your dream super car.

I never really got M3s. They may be quick but they look like a diesel saloon barge,
 
I don't get it either. 20k can buy some seriously fast and prestigious grand tourers if you look at older cars.
 
Looking at the photos it is bloody stunning...... Unitl you see the interior photos :thumbsdown:

Now this looks like a decent replica car and not much more than that poor attempt,

not available in the UK though, but has a proper powerful engine and looks like it has been built with attention to detail on the inside as well as outside.

Still for that money I'd have a second hand M5 or a 911
 
I like some of the Sl65 replicas

I've got no idea how that compares to the real thing, but it does like very nice!
 
Would rather have a Ferrari MR2:

Edit:
Would rather have a Toyota MR2 than a Ferrari MR2
