Don't you think this is copied from the mx-5?

That is such a ripoff of a Viper, whoever did that should be ashamed to be called a designer.

All I see is Viper/Cobra and some Marcos with a tiny hint of early Miata. Looks like it could be a rebodied Miata or could at least use a Miata chassis.

Agreed...that's just a blatant rip off.

The front 1/4 view cabin looks like a BMW M Coupe; the rear quarter panels look like they were lifted from a '70's Vette. The front end screams Viper... The grille looks a bit like an aftermarket RX-8 bumper.

All in all, it could be considered an original 'compilation'?

But the Viper is such a ripoff of the Shelby Cobra Daytona coupe... At least in the GTS coupe form.

IIRC, the original chassis is a Miata. I remember reading about this "car" a while back.

Look at the A Pillar and the side triangle windows. It is a Miata.

Also check out the door handle in that picture.

Because Miata is cheap and easier to obtain than a Viper

That's just ugly. Looks like a hardtop Z3 on crack.

The greenhouse looks terrible and the front end is horrific.

(I'm trying to be nice here)

The headlights look like the 8 and the front bumper lines are similar to the Mazdaspeed bumper. Tail definitely looks seventy-ish Corvette.

Why did they do wing windows?!

The TVR has the ugliest mirrors I have ever seen. They look like tyrannosaurus arms sticking out.

I see:
Miata...
Viper...
Cobra...
Z3 top
Esparante vent
Corvette strake

In conclusion, it looks Chinese.
