Gallardo Replica?

[neolee40]

Is this really real? If so anyone know who can do this in the UK? Imagine having a Gallardo with BMW running costs haha.

I wish people would stop destroying perfectly decent MR2s.

[baptist]

I'd rather drive an MR2 than a replica.

They also say they make an Maybach Exelero replica:

only 20k in dollars, that could be reasonable as you would never see a real Exelero on the roads!

It looks like it is real as you can also see the assembly line..
It actually feels like a pain in my hart to see such nice cars to be cloned without respect, can you imagine what someone would say driving a gallardo replica?

I'm going to start making MR2 replicas, there's been so many cannibalised to make these supercar knock-offs there can hardly be any left.

Now, I am prepared to be shot down in flames, but I`m not convinced it`s a replica. It looks to much like the real thing being used as a marketing con "look at what $23,000 gets you" when in fact the replica itself would be nothing like. I may be very wrong and I await a Gallardo owner or someone more familiar with them to prove me wrong!

[Rob.]

Thanks Pioneer, glad I`m not the only one.

[diablo_pete]

It's a real one.

[andrew.]

yeah, the kit cars are yellow

"Adding comments has been disabled for this video." Shame really, we could have had some fun out of this one.

ETA: It gets worse, they try and "clone" a Murci too.

Have your vacant looking mates point at parts of a real Gallardo and pretend its a replica? Very strange!

What would you make an MR2 replica out of?



How about MR2 bodykits for Ferrari F355s?

[BlueMR2]

I was going to get a 355 but they are too common so i got an MR2 instead.

They take a MK1 MR2, turn it into a Gallardo, give it an automatic conversion, then fail its first MOT for rust, lol.

At least the Americans have the class to pull off a Roolls Royce conversion on basically any American car. 6 wheel hummer conversion for added bling. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2yPIbGDFjP8

It's not a replica. They screwed up within the first 30 seconds... they have a MK1 MR2 to convert and then they show a MK2 MR2 and say that the chassis is 6" too short.

If it's a replica then why don't they show the build process?

[cronk-flakes]

All a bit mickey mouse to me... Seems like a pretty elaborate scam.

Their website is the most shady thing I've seen in a while... Supe Replicas??? Why not just use 'super replicas'??? supereplicas.com

[Streetrod]

I agree, that is real, it would be almost impossible to build something that close for $23000 considering the amount of work that would be involved

[Healey73]

No no, hang on! It must be real, here is their legal statement

And here they are at their factory, with people dragged in off the street in their design studio and a man in a white coat to complete that 'boffin' look!
