I had to laugh at this, oh were to start, the shoddy exterior with cliche sparkly paint, or the interior that looks it was put together with stuff from the local emporium. Replica this is not.

I remember playing Gran Turismo 3 and loving this car xD.
It is a shame that his attempt is very ugly.

Totally agree. Bloody awesome effort. Fiberglass is a tricky SOB to work with and while it is imperfect, it is still pretty good.

Aww come on! Like you've built anything remotely like that in your spare time ? It's an awesome project, see it for the effort put into it.

Awesome effort...But I probably wouldn't classify it as a replica. It would turn heads rolling down the street though! Even if it was for all the wrong reasons.

Agree that it's an awesome effort. This is a modern equivalent of a hotrod.

Pity he had to try to recreate a Zonda rather than create his own perfect car.

Is it road legal? Considering some of the terrible lash ups the Top Gear guys put together and run on public roads, I'm thinking he probably could get it past any tests needed to reg it, but on the other hand, surely some of those Top Gear cars would never pass such a test. And while he has done an OK job, he has spent $30k and the engine still smokes like it is fit for the knackers yard. Plus he appeared to be slipping the clutch in first gear and almost stalling it. Why such tall gearing?

Not a bad effort, but he is no designer. (Before I get flamed, I spent most of my working life as a design engineer at Ford Research).

An example that demonstates the Gruen Transfer motto "You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter".

he could have at least looked at the real thing ?

he didn't look like he was shot of a quid or two - nice house, a mercedes in the drive, ferrari in the garage.
