I'm sorry, but there really is no excuse for that.

"Full turbo spec" - eh?
"Turbo sports exhaust" - the turbo has a completely different shaped setup to the N/A?
"From the 3.6L engine" - sorry? Pre-facelift cars have 3.4L engines?

Clearly hasn't a clue what he's on about.

Almost like sticking a GT3 badge on a Carrera

Almost, but a turbo badge is just ridiculous. At least the car actually resembles a GT3, but Turbo? Nowhere near.

Looks like a Spyker raped a 355 and the child was a mong.

it's an MR2 right?

these guys do seem to specialise in selling complete st - or at least reasonable cars that have been tarted up and end up looking like a complete joke

good luck to them if they can get away with it - just think what else you could buy for 30k ...

Place your bets. Will that car fail it's first M.O.T? Yes or seriously and would be put straight into the crusher?

Simply tremendous! Styled by Chris Bangle's blind brother I take it (and probably engineered by his thick as a brick other brother).

Mind you, the company flogging it also has also managed to dispose of this, 'allegedly':

who picks out two photos from the same angle (one in shadow) to advertise their car?

You wouldn't hang about if you looked like that though would you?
You'd be racing home for the sanctuary of the garage to weep and cut yourself.

It's got to be the mnost badly thought out design anywhere in this thread. Part Ferrari 308, Part MR2, Part NSX, Part Spyker - it fking horrible from any angle.

I much prefer handling and power to asthetics but I could never been seen within 200 yards of that thing - it's downright offensive.

The dimensions are all taken from the Ferrari F1 2000 & the track, wheelbase etc is all within an inch or 2 of that car.



Whats an inch or 2 between friends?

Its from South Africa, and was built in the mid nineties and is now one of two left, the other being a slightly better looking spyder version with a much better interior. It has Audi suspension and a 350ci Chevy.

That one looks a million times better resolved - but it's still not exactly pretty is it?
The two-tone paint job on the one above honestly looks like a black car has rear ended a silver one and, well - it's just plain fugly.
