    I thought the Barabus TKR was a Zonda rip-off...

    ...until I saw this thing.

    The "Rabbit" Corporation of Japan is going to make this car, which is based on an MR2.

    I know I don't really need to say anything - the pictures speak for themselves.

    It's a wood model - luckily they haven't actually built one yet.

    abit of a clone of the zonda, but if it is built on the mr2 chassis,

    Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
    It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

    I'd rather drive it if it was built on the Zonda chassis.

    Let's hope it explodes into flames before they finish it.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I love those panel gaps. Seriously, why bother? The MR2 is dead.
