It's maybe 10-15% too much but the idea is fantastic.

I suspect it looks like a Baleen Whale from the back...

Not too sure if It belongs in here but i think it's pretty decent

Thought this might belong here. Spotted this lovely E21 at Castle Combe on Monday






As well as this ford popular hot rod:




And this stanced but not too stanced Jetta:




And I suppose this belongs here as well. It said GT2 on the back but people in the know have said that it isn't one. Still looks gorgeous though:

Not my choice of wheels but still a cracking e21.

Saw that E21 when I visited Forge Motorsport, proper neck breaker.

There's a clue in the badging..the original badges only said 911 GT. Not a bad looking car to me.

Surely they didn't have to make a complete sow's ear out of the way the 500 looked, though?

[e21Mark]

I don't quite get builds that change the look of a car so much that the original look/design is lost in a frenzy of extended arches and spoilers. I'm sure that the technical spec is probably pretty impressive but it looks a bit daft (to me anyway).

I don't normally like the look of modified cars. But this mr2 looks damn good. (aside from the mirrors)

That looks bloody awful.

What a waste of what could be a lovely, clean MR2.

Is it supposed to look like this?

NSX-R GT, I'm not sure if there's many cars I'd want to drive more than one of these..

It isn't an NSX-R GT, just a barry special. How to ruin an NSX. I dont see why people attempt to modify NSX's because they never look better than the standard car.

Get a grip.

I really wish certain people had the eloquence to be able to say that they simply don't like something because it's not to their personal tastes, instead of decrying the subject matter as being gay, chav, barry or whatever social-demographic based term of derision is in vogue.

The problem is the suggestion that this car is an NSX-R GT. The standard NSX-R is rare enough and standard NSXs are hardly common, but there were only ever 5 NSX-R GTs made and I'd be surprised if Honda actually 'sold' them but instead did what Nissan did with the R33 GTLM, 'sold' it and then bought it back once the homologation had cleared.

On the off chance that it is a genuine GT, to modify it is preposterous. Almost in the same league as Ferrari MR2 kit cars.

ETA: Scratch all of that off. That's a LHD American Market Car, meaning it's not even an NSX-R. It's just an NSX with a snorkel and a daft spoiler.

For shame.

If your going to do something silly. You may as well make it really silly.








Okay, they really could have done better.
