If you can't buy an SLR.... build it
 

Krakau, Poland - One Robert Furtak decides he wants a Mclaren Mercedes SLR. yet for one reason or another, he can't get it (ahem, price). So what did he do? He built a replica.

Not as extreme a car as the real McCoy, but it was good enough for Mercedes to come check out his work and offer to buy it from him. And no, he didn't sell.

Here's the link

I remember reading an article a couple months back where someone tried to make a homemade Carrera GT.

:D

re-re-repost. But still a damn nice attempt. I have to hand it to him. 8)

and its cool but i dont like it very much...

non theless tha tguy made a fantastic job!

:shock: he actually did a pretty good job on it considering its a sauerkrauted 500 :shock:

:lol: wow :lol: amazing and funny at the same time.

saw this a while ago but never knew that mercedes actually took note and made an offer.. i wonder how much they were willing to pay him.. and what the hell they would do with that?

dangit - and i searched too.

I've seen this before too. Great job, though too bad he didn't drop a different engine in there...or at least modify that one.

Reminds me of my girlfriend's neighbor, he's building a Diablo.

Pretty good work except the front. Its a bit too short.
