If you are still looking for a zonda replica I have one in the works, the body will be done in two weeks. It is of the zonda cinque coupe, convertible version later on. The donor car is a mercedes s600, only using the v12 out of that and other componets. It's a full tube chasis kit, no hack and slash fiero

I lolled a little then just felt sad. You made me sad. Does making people sad make you happy? Does it fill that void inside you? The void you're trying to fill with a Zonda? A fake Zonda? That will ultimitely leave you feeling sad... just like you've made me feel.

Looks like the donor car was a Smart Coupe.

what annoys me is if people have the skills to make a replica kit why dont they put their time into creating something original.

For the same reason as joiners aren't architects. Skills with tools don't equate to creativity or being clever.

Why? As far as I know the Mercedes is a perfectly good car as it is.

i never understood why there's not more replicas of concept cars that never made it to production. would be more interesting to see imho.

No that thing is ugly.


this is the model that im working with, end result will look excatly like the 3d model.

If you can do that, why not do your own car. Post up some 3d images and let PH help you refine it.

I like your thinking tstain

Pininfarina Modulo anyone?

Or that Stratos update fom a couple of years ago,

Or the Stratos zero from the '70s.

makes so much sense to me, hell of a lot more street cred than a fake ferrari etc.

+1 If it looks like the 3D one

[Mr Gearchange]

Please post up some pictures

[Rawwr]

It's a bit, you know, penisy.

[Luke.]

To be honest, I can't jude very much from that.

here you go, right side rear quarter pannel that was finished cutting today. you can jude for your self on the quality

Is that a model or full size? If it’s full size then expect a law suit to be heading your way soon. Not only are you trying to copy a very exclusive car but one that is still in production. In effect you are steeling and devaluing the Pagani brand. Not clever I think.

As others have said, if you have the skills then have the guts to produce your own design, take inspiration if you will but have some respect for the original

I do like the idea of making replicas of concept cars though, rather than copying something that made it into production. Actually, Andy also restored a concept car from the 50's. Weird looking thing, but a huge amount of work to restore:
