    This looks very much like a last-gen MR2 with coupe bodywork.

    Reminds one that the concept of perspective was a very long time in being adopted by Chinese artists.

    I'm just curious: does the average Chinese person look at this and say, "Pffft. That's an R8-F430 mashup disaster", or do they say, "Wow! The new Tong Jian S11! How do I get on the pre-order list?"

    Romeo and Juliet fell in love despite the generations long feud between their families. Tong Jian has played Friar Laurence to the products of two warring supercar families. Something tells me there are some serious questions being asked in Ingolstadt and Maranello. We've already seen a few F430s commit suicide, too.

    In reply to Chinese Man Builds Hand-Made Helicopter, Flies It
    This video is a fake its been around or a awhile. It uses a technique called forced perspective in which miniature like the RC helicopter in this case looks like s it much bigger in reality the helicopter model is the closest object to the camera. If you look closely you will notice that its acualty flies behind the men "watching" it instead ahead of the them. But the real give away is that it does not generate any where near enough dust on the ground.

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!:


    You might notice that pilot in the video never moves ...

    and also note that the still shots above are of the same helicopter. I fly in helicopters for work on regular basis those guys are always looking around yet this once seems to be frozen in his seat while he is close proximity to building power lines people and passing traffic...



    But anyway like I said this video has been out there for quite some time and has been debunked before.

    @SCROGGZILLA vs. Diddles McGee!!: Beat me to it. For a hombuilt, an autogyro is supposedly much simpler and safer among the various helicopter-type designs.

    @aSoundofSleep has a bat flying around his office today.: With that large a population, you can bet there are a lot of nutty people who manage to indulge their wacky ideas somehow. Combine that with less government/societal regulation and safety concerns and a healthy dose of good old-fashioned ingenuity and you're bound to come up with a couple examples like this eventually.
