Japan Tuning Shop's MR2-Based Pagani Zonda Clone

Rabbit, a Japan-based Porsche tuning shop, wants to put you in a Pagani Zonda for $50,000. Sound like a scam? Ok, so it's not a real, AMG V12-powered Pagani Zonda, but the Rabbit PG-Z will indeed play one on TV (if that's your thing). Using the Toyota MR2 as a starting point, the Rabbit bunch is creating the PG-Z to be a veritable Zonda doppelganger. They're only in the prototype stages -- that's a hand-built wooden prototype in the picture, says AutoWeek -- but the're serious about rendering it for real. They're just showing it off to gauge interest.

Heh.... Now if only the chassis was carbon fiber as well.... But it does look convincing! (at a first glance)

Have you seen the MR2 mod that looked like Ferrari F355? It looked very classy.

A much better executed kit car though

you'll never see me in a fiberglass car. I'd rather drive the MR2

i've loved the MR2 from the original 1st generation. only reason i haven't ordered one before toyota stops making 'em, is i'm too cheap to spend more than $20k for simple automotive entertainment (vs. practicality).

i can get that much cheaper with motorcycles! (now, if i won a lottery...)
