Not a bad attempt, but your still driving a Ford probe beneath all that:-

AUDI R8 REPLICA

Who needs a TT when you can have a car that doesn't look like an R8?


Ahh, the Audi R8…the German supercar upstart that has rocked the establishment to its core. And there is no finer than this lovely Ice Silver example with exquisite Carbon Sigma Sideblades.

But before we go any further we have a confession to make – this is in fact a replica! That’s right, the true car fans among you may have spotted a few miniscule details that differentiate this from the real thing.

Things like the different proportions, incorrect wheels, missing rear pipes, wrong interior, and of course the big giveaway: the front mounted engine and front-wheel drive. But who can argue with the added safety of this layout, plus the added bonus of spending ‘just’ £25,000 on the replica kit (plus £1,000 for a donor Ford Probe) which would only buy you a measly Audi TT or A5 with a bit of discounting.

Drive it at night outside Specsavers and who knows what this baby could do for you…

Thanks to Topspeed for the tip!
