As car enthusiasts we can look at certain kit cars with appreciation and even envy. The cars I speak of are the classically copied Shelby Cobra or the Lotus Seven, which are known for their speed as well as their great looks.

Every once in a while I stumble upon the image of a replica that is just the most absolutely terrible attempt at a copy. They say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"; sometimes imitation is just CRAP!

I'm not trying in any way to take away from "The Official WTF-Car of the Day Thread", I want this one to focus strictly on Kit Cars.

Please share your favorite kit car images.

Here are a couple that just almost fooled me to get this going...

 

Omg that's horrible, looks so out of proportion!

 

Well...its not a fail, but it is my favorite.

More work went into this next Murcielago than that Testarossa, but still....

Front engine, FWD, based on Pontiac Solstice

damn.

 

Not sure if this belongs here, or in the WTF car of the day..




Looks lambo-ish in the back ?





Isn't there an NSX turned Ferrari on here somewhere?

 

^^Lambo?? more like F40 to me.

yes, NSX >>> F40.

Came out pretty good, but still not worth tossing NSX as a rep project car.

 

^yeah you're right.

 

Actually, I think its supposed to be a replica Koenig Testarossa

 

im sure he was talking about the red car.

But excellent job on the yellow one, :gheyhug:

 

Looks like its made out of clay.

^LMAO Thank you sir.

 

My brothers friends brother owns this car right here..I think it might be the exact one in the picture because i remember my brothers friend saying his brother went out of state to buy it. The funny thing is they are really trying to pass it off as a Lamborghini and i happened to see the replica, online, a week before i saw the car in person. When i saw it in person I was like snap I'v seen that car somewhere..So the smart guy i am lol.. I call em out and guess what the excuse was....." oh no man this thing takes too much gas and its obvious a lamborghini will beat an acura ".. ( I walk away "OK" ) lol

 

All hail the best replica ever made.
