It's been commented on before.

And I'd call that a very expensive sports car.

ETA: It does look quite impressive though, if that's your kind of thing.

[Lefty]

£40k!

Why not buy a real "sports car" like a Ferrari 355 instead of a fake

[MX7]

I've seen worse, but "COST OVER £60K"?!!

Madness.

I've not seen many Murci's in the flesh, but that looks like a pretty faithful replica.

If he spent £60k on it though, even over 3 years, just think what he could be driving though...

[Fartgalen]

2 lt twin turbo. Sounds like the real thing ?

Reminds me of that oft-used line from officers, 'I had to do over 100 to catch you'

No-one forced you, Sir....

A '93 Diablo?

[VR6 Turbo]

Could almost have a Diablo for that money, which id rather have over a murcielago or MR2

He wants to swap it for a Porsche 911 turbo, I think that sums it up! It's fine to look at, but you'll always know it's not capable of living up to the looks! I'd much rather have a real 355!

What I don't get is, why spend £60,000 on that..... and take 3 years about doing it too.

[madal]

[Jasandjules]

Who cares what it costs, it's a fake...........

OP, you know you can get a lot of real sports cars for 40k??

Hard work means nothing though if the result is a turd.

I'm a kit car fan and I'm open minded on replicas, but £60,000 build-cost on something that has a sixth of the number of cylinders it should do? No. Just no.

It won't drive like the original. It might be good - there's a good chance it's not, but it might be - and yet at the very best it'll deliver a mid-engined supercar experience that's not the same as a Murcielago. And if you're happy with a mid-engined supercar that's not a Murcielago then why not buy a real F355 or a real Noble M400 or a real Diablo?

I could sort of understand on the grounds of running costs if it was a £10k replica, but at £40k (let aone the original £60k) you could buy something like a TVR Sagaris and run it for a year.

A mk2 MR2, I think.
