 | I saw a TT round our way done similar, they should've just bought an MR2, at least the 355 kits can look convincing

 | The best thing is it probably cost nearly as much as a cheap R8

 | I don't think its trying to be an R8 at all. Its just an R8 inspired design.
 
 There's a Kahn S5 going around Aberdeen. It looks very similar.

 | I don't think it's directly trying to be an R8 replica, more taking styling ideas from it.
 
 Either way it's fucking rank, expect to see a pro footballer in one very soon.
