Best part "The brakes you can see through the wheels are completely for show, but they do look exactly like the most expensive brakes money can buy."

I have to give it to the people who made the whole exterior and interior it looks fabulous, but honestly I would only expect china to copy and paste.

for a copy cat conversion kit, it actually is quite well done IMO
still far from a bugati veyron and cougar is such a weird car to start off with
regardless, the effort (albeit very much misplaced) is still worth noting

Looks pretty good for a kit car, they did a good job.... too bad when you step on it will be slow as hell. Thy should at least put a good powerfull engine in it too
