    It's like someone set out to build a car guaranteed to leave Jeremy Clarkson smitten and failed. Epically.

    It was clearly built in the Garage of Dr. Moreau.

    @MarianHamjam:


    Wow. Web site created proudly on a Mac in Quicktime. And with a nearly unavoidable, xtremely annoying soundtrack.


    He'll sell you a Predator Xtreme body kit for $8500 or $9500, without a single mention of what car you are supposed to put under the kit.


    Thank you for finding the official web site. I researched this car a little when it appeared on Knight Rider, but there was very little information about it online.

    @sixt5cuda: One section of the website mentioned that it was supposed to go on a Toyota MR-2 from 2001 to 2008 so I guess that is really a MR-spyder. That might have been a different kit though.

    OMG, the back is terrible! Looks like they took a Carrera GT and dumped on the lights from a G35.

    I kinda like it. It's such an outrageous mishmash of randomness that it ventures past pure offensiveness and becomes somewhat likeable, like the math-class doodles of a schoolboy whose only automotive influences are a calendar with those supercars on it. It's the automotive equivalent of the uncanny valley.


    That, and who's supposed to drive that thing? Elementary-school-sized kids, that's who. The kid from the banned Corvette commercial is gonna be one mack daddy.

    Funny, I took the same shot a little while earlier, when the driver was skulking in it:


    It was grotesque, and was sitting directly across from the new Caddy wagon-


    As for what you should call it? I think calling it late for dinner would be appropriate.

    I think I'd call it a McLambenzini. As jolting as it is to look at, it actually looks pretty meticulously crafted - kudos to the mod shop, but that still doesn't mean it was a good idea.

    This is what happens when you let Edward Scissorhands play around with the computer at automotive design school.

    I think it's actually well done. It's not a total ripoff of designs. I kinda like it. Especially given that you could have more than one person ride with you. Pretty neat. Wonder what the chassis and price was.

    It's not a total ripoff of one design.


    It is a total ripoff of many designs.


    That you can have two girls ride with you is very cool, but that is what laps were invented for, you put one girl on top of the other.
