Murceilago MR2



It's rare to see a kit car that bears such little resemblance to the car it's trying to mock. I'm guessing this might be Corvette based, due to what appears to be a front mounted engine. There's a surprising amount of MR2 based Lamborghini rip-offs out there now too, but this looks a little too long...

LittleBigPlanet?

This poor Audi better be nothing more than a Coupe GT, although no Coupe GT even deserves this treatment. It kinda looks like something resembling a car a kid might have made out of an old shoe box. Or possibly a real-life, life-size version of the cardboard cars from LittleBigPlanet.

Mercedes-Benz Corolla


I almost thought it was an E Class. With the round headlights and all.

Toyota Shamu

I believe this is an early Lexus LS / Toyota Celsior. In true Bōsōzoku tradition, the car modification has spread like cancer in the form of multiple taillights and pointles louvers. This car was particularly hard hit, as even it's side reflectors and license plates are multiplying. And the there's that spoiler, which puts the 911 Turbo's whale tail to shame.
