This looks like it could be a.i generated or at the very least lots and lots of photoshop work, possibly real?.

I would remove the indicators on the top of the wings and wire them into the lights on the bumper. Remove the bonnet handle and replace with a button. Remove and set fire to the bird decal. Remove goalpost bar and fit rollover hoop behind seat, bolt in some cage around the windscreen, fit scooby engine and whale tail spoiler, ta-da!
It appears to be a real car, but the only other pics of it I can find don't have the turbo-chicken image on the bonnet, so I think it's had some photoshop 'enhancement' in that first image.


It's a Photoshop mockup. Original source is this car mockup site: https://radracer.tumblr.com/post/62139293763125248...

There's a few things wrong with it, perspective-wise. In addition, whoever has done it appears to have 'chopped' a hardtop bug rather than starting with a picture of a real convertible. The windscreen surround is the wrong shape for a genuine Beetle drophead and there should be quarterlights. Still, it's creatively done and mostly convincing!

You have a Nissan 350Z, life is good. Then, for unknown reasons you decide to modify your car, paint it orange and change the headlights. You decide that the best alternative headlights are from a K12 Micra. I'm not sure which world that's a good idea on, but I don't think it's this one.

I actually quite like that

I'd rather have one in orange than the miserable grey 90% of them seem to have been specced

Orange ones are definitely the best. Definitely doesn't need the stupid 911 bodykit though.

I'm not sure that this is "badly modified" in as much as the sales blurb says that the design was done in collaboration with Mercedes Benz.

€700k if you're tempted....

My mate had one of the first of these in the country and it came from the factory in Orange.
For some reason I plain forgot that orange was a factory colour on these, I just saw the orangeness and thought it had been resprayed to go with everything else that's happening on this car hehe
There's even another orange one with the same bumper parked behind it FFS!

Looks exactly as vulgar and brash as a Maybach should, doesn't it?

It would even match the fake tan of the average person likely to buy it... The Donald would feel right at home...

Pro Car Lease are in Dippach, Luxembourg.
They often advertise hideously priced and hideous looking cars for sale.
That one looks like it’s been dipped in foundation make up!
