**31dev31** · 11-24-2008, 07:27 PM

Not worth it....Ford V6 and FWD in a car that looks mid-ship FTMFL

just doesn't cut it for some reason

**RDub** · 11-25-2008, 06:22 PM

it looks alright but it still can't perform

**Nova_Dust** · 11-26-2008, 08:19 AM

There are always guys out there who try to build their own toy, I respect the work 100%.

Fantastic work; would've fooled me in slow moving traffic unless I had a chance to peek inside. But really, it's all about the snatch-fetching potential of the R8.

side by side it looks bad...lol

**31dev31** · 11-26-2008, 03:04 PM

Another one, which is much better....a MR-2 into a Ferrari F335...

A Peugeot 406 coupe into a Ferrari 360, they are planning on two 3L V6s both in front and rear making it 4x4 if they remove the seats...the 406 chassis is strong enough for another engine in the rear.

i fully agree

It doesn't look that bad, but the way I see it, why have a car that looks like that when the engine is a Ford, and probably sounds like one when you start it?

**alexg2009** · 02-12-2009, 09:34 PM

I remember seeing on some site, that you can get an Audi TT (new gens only), and get a body kit to make it look identical like the R8. I guess its just smaller though. :/
I can't remember the site, but i think it could be on ebay. Google is MY best friend

Ya, I think there is more than one company with a kit like that, here is one of them:
