"Why does the number of exotic and luxury vehicle replicas seem to be on the rise?" I hear you asking. Well, it appears there are two main factors behind this, namely the greater availability of building materials and techniques, along with the Internet making these faux contraptions more visible. And an example that has recently hit social media is the creature sitting before us.

Check out this machine front a distance and you might be tempted to think it's a Dodge Viper. In a connection that has been made before (and on multiple occasions), this is actually a Mazda Miata - pixel tip to the Fly Society Facebook page for bringing this four-wheeled creature to our attention.

However, the owner of this Mazda MX-5 wanted to leave the origins of the Japanese sportscar far behind. In fact, the one who built this seemed to be aiming for the starts, since the machine tries to pass as a Rolls-Royce.

The nose of the vehicle seems to do a good job at convincing untrained eyes it actually comes from Goodwood, Spirit Of Ecstasy and all.

However, we can't say the same about the rest of the vehicle. And I'm not sure what's worse: the hole-in-the-middle side panels or the rear end, which seems to have been designed with a saw.

I also have to mention that, in the effort to replicate the generous Rolls-Royce engine compartments, the builder elongated the wheelbase, hence the Viper trick mentioned above.

Nevertheless, the bits and pieces that are the most difficult to understand come in the form of various aero elements that seem to have been taken from a low-res video game. Then again, there's no point in trying to understand the logic behind abominations such as this one, so perhaps it's best to move on.
