Lexus Soarer Mutates Into Mercedes

Fantastic or foul? We just can't decide...


Forget all those dodgy MR2s turned into Ferraris (honest mate, everyone reckons it's the real thing...) - there is a new king of the weird replica.

This car started life as a Toyota/Lexus Soarer and has undergone a fairly extreme Mercedesification (we know that's not a word, but it should be), but unlike the MR2 Ferraris it's not really a facsimile of any particular car.

Instead the result is an SL-style rump combined with a CLK front end and a body kit that owes quite a lot to the CLK DTM special edition.

The resulting mutant may not be to everybody's taste, but it is at least somewhat of an improvement over the bland-tastic 1990s look that the car would have originally sported. Maybe.
