Mashups make for the best kind of renderings. But you usually need a big website to sponsor a whole gallery of weird, pointless but very entertaining images like this.
Enter Budget Direct, an Australian website that put six cool combinations in our stocking this year. It was at the bottom, so we got to it late. Sorry!
Their first super-combo is a Bentley-Ferrari coupe with the body of a Continental GT and the face of a Ferrari 812 Superfast. It's hideous, as the child of two self-obsessed models with overly pronounced features.
Moving on from that, we'll draw your eyes to the BMW i8 with the Lamborghini features. It makes a little bit of sense, as the butterfly doors of the hybrid coupe often meant it was compared to a supercar, despite its 1.5 turbo engine. Somehow, making the nose more pointy reminds us of the M1.
One of our favorite mashups is a VW-Ford combo. The two companies recently announced a partnership, but hat's likely to focus on pickup trucks and material acquisition. Meanwhile, the image combines the bubbly body of the Beetle with the butch features of a Focus RS. And since both cars compete in some form of rallycross racing, the outcome looks sporty and dirty-ready.
The Nissan GT-R has been called a supercar killer and often gets compared to the Porsche 911 Turbo. But have you ever wondered what a GT-R front end would look like on a 911? Probably like an abomination that needs to be put down, fans will argue.
Saving the best 'till last. The smart car is arguably the antithesis of the SUV. It's very small, cheap, not very spacious and capable of squeezing through tiny gaps. Its design is very neutral and can be adapted to fit any brand, but a Range Rover grille? If the Brits ever need to neutralize their carbon footprint, this is surely not the way to go.
