And I read this used to be a Taunus... wasn't the last Taunus built until the mid-70s? The lights and grille yell DeLorean to me

Just found this...
1974 Ford Taunus 2000GLX

Everybody's seen a Toyota MR2 with a Ferrari kit.
I wonder how many more there are like these?

What copy would you like to see as a bodykit on a smaller car?

How about a Ford Mustang look-a-like kit on a Vauxhall/Opel Tigra?
 
That beat is awesome, it looks like something from gadget racers or whatever that game was, and it can still be tuned to be quite fast. I would totally drive it.

EDIT: And it's MR too.👍

I'm not a big fan of the Beat but I like the NSX,
and like you say, a MR Beat is still highly tunable.
I could definitely make room for one of these on my drive.
 
I would be the kind of person to do the pi thing to my car.

I love it!! It looks exactly like a yellow NSX Micro Machine I used to have as a kid!
 
If you like Blackbirds, how about the original Caterham "Blackbird"?

Now your talking!

170bhp
0-60mph in 3.7 secs
143mph max (Faster than the Superlight)

Weighs only 430kgs (Less than the Superlight and the R500)

Cost = £25,750 (Cheaper Too!)

*nods*
Now that you've mentioned those... The Megabusa, according to the 2001 Autocar 0-100-0 test, is far, far faster.

Just been scouting.
I saw somewhere that the Megabusa can do 0-60mph in just over 3.2 secs.
That is quick!

To give you some idea click below for a couple of autoplay mpegs.

And to think that even Kei-cars have more power than the version of the Matiz sold in Israel. That thing is truly the slowest (new) car produced in the last 20 years.
 
More Japanese Mods...

Suzuki/Daihatsu Mini Van, (not sure which)

Some of you may have seen these already,
but they're worth a second look just for the laugh.

HKS and all these other companies must be so proud seeing their stickers on these ugly cars....

Then again, they probably make more money from the stickers than anything else....
