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.
