I will never understand making replicas of Lambos, Ferrari's and now Audi's. Makes no sense to be.

That has to be a Mercury Cougar turned into a Audi R8, why someone would do that though is beyond me.

Someone has done a very good job imitating the real R8.

Thats what I would call a knock off. Not the same as when a member says a wheel is a knock off because it has the same number of spokes as a more exspensive wheel.

Yup! The interior shot is what gives it away.



For the amount of money he had to spend to do that I bet he could have gotten something decent. I guess the difference between that and a R8 is that the electronics on that thing will last longer haha

My cousin was telling me that there is a guy that came and threw down $28,000 and counting on OEM parts for an R8 so he can convert his 350Z. I'm sorry but that's as low as it can get.
