We've seen our fair share of Frankensteinian cars over the years, but we're pretty sure this one never appeared on our radar before, firstly because it's so weird and secondly because the parts on the back of this thing are brand new.
We've spotted the car on the Facebook page of a company called Street FX Motorsport & Graphics, but honestly, we don't know who built it. The background of the image would suggest this is a Japanese tuning show, like the Tokyo Auto Salon that took place in January.

We're 99% sure that the base car is the classic Nissan 350Z with its 3.5-liter engine, but the front end has been taken from a Maserati GranTurismo, which is a premium coupe costing about 3 times as much as a Z. The back features a few bits from the Italian sportscar, including the exhaust, but the taillights are from a brand new 991-generation Porsche 911. They sit closer together than they're supposed to and a big sound system makes the monstrosity even more horrible to look at.

Like doctor Frankenstein used string and electricity to hold his soulless creation together, the car features one of those Rocket Bunny body kits that are riveted directly into the bodywork. That's basically like one of those botched Brazilian surgeries where they used superglue.

We can only presume that the body bits were gruesomely robbed from the cadavers of cars that ended up in the scrap heap. But even second hand Porsche lights are very expensive, so why would you ever put them on a Nissan 350Z that's worth about $10,000 these days? Because "it's aliiiiiiiive, it's alive!"

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
