I'd honestly be lying if I said I wasn't slightly interested. At the end of the day it still looks dumb, but if you want to fit an ugly bodykit on a Corvette then you could do a lot worse than this.
 
It almost seems like it's the front end of an F body Firebird grafted onto it.
 
TIL the StreetKa is a thing. God, I thought that was some god-awful knockoff Ford kit for a Kei car.
 
They should have started with a C5. It already has the required Fat Fat Fat Fat ass so he would have only had to do half the work.


Though I initially thought it was just a Firebird at first.

Caught a snap of this at my local fair. I think it looks cool, and probably has some power in it.
 
This old/new idk vw beetle showed up at a cars and coffee I wasn't sure if it was a new beetle trying to be a old one or a old beetle trying to be a new one.

If I had to guess based on proportions and the wheels, new beetle attempting to look old.

Looking at the intakes and vents to the rear and the total lack of any at the front, i'd say it has to be an old one.
 
Saw this parked in the local supermarket carpark today. Looks like foam bath mats are the new vinyl wrap around my parts.

The New Beetle had its vents down low on the bumper, and without seeing more pics of the front, there could be one hidden under the front bumper for all we know. Regardless though, it is certainly ugly!

I'm not seeing a single piece of bodywork that matches those on the New Beetle, so i don't know why anyone would suspect that it's based on one.
 
Not great pictures, but something I found in a FB group. A Lexus GS with Cadillac CTS front and rear end.

To me it looked like the door and fender area on the side was similar to the New Beetle, but looking side by side at an actual NB, I agree that it doesn't and is just a very mutilated Super Beetle.
