Looks like its been done well, wonder where all the donor parts came from, orange gts gone missing somewhere... cynical me??

It's an M3 with GTS body kit, the firm that do them specialise in turning one thing into another - lookalikes as opposed to replicas as they rarely involve anything mechanical.
Abacus International, 189-191 Rutland Car Warehouse, Sheffield. In case anyone local wants to have a look.

Correct - I only looked at the pic.

Why a 330i? Surely if you're going to go to that kind of effort and expense you would use an M3 as the base car? I've never been keen on any kind of lookalike - just doesn't make sense to me.

Seems a waste of time as not an M3, so does that not mean lookalike and replicar are the same thing if not the real deal

Probably made to blow-up in a movie that never made the directors cut?!

I had a colleague offered silly money in the rush for a Saab of all things, as they wanted to destroy in a movie scene!

Best thing for all Saab's if you ask me?!:wink:

Bit of a difference in the price, you'll also notice that the error with the CSL plaque have now been corrected on the GTS - they are numbered:thumbs:

Seems like a waste of time and money anyway....might as well ruin a cheaper car!

[LeinsCSL]

What sort of Audi A5 is that Gallardo based on? ;)

Should have at least gone with a diesel to maximize poseurage and fuel mileage.
