Apparantly it is a "RARE NV LE MANS MR2 T-BAR IN BLUE" however to me it looks like a Ferrari 360 rear, 512 / F40 midrif and a 550 front end :confused:

Somebody please confirm this is just a ton of fibreglass tat, and Toyota didn't actually release this :eek:

THIS CAR WILL SERIOUSLY GET YOU NOTICED.

As would having a knob on your forehead. Doesn't mean it's desireable.

Bargain price too :rolleyes:

Almost as good as this beast : http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/233143.htm

I have nothing to add that just made me laugh

Looks ridiculous but I bet its quite rapid due to all that weight lost by fitting, I'm guessing, fiberglass panels.

Looks like a noble had an orgy with quite a few ferraris!

Also looks like an RC car with the bodyshell......weird.

That's what I thought! Also the front looks a lil like a koeningsegg (or however you spell it).

Horrible though

It is the proper NV Le Mans kit, can't remember web addy for the company.

It pretty much replaces all the panels with fiberglass/frp ones to create what you see.

Looks a lot better in silver/gun metal than blue though.

That rover is gangster-i would drive it

sam83uk says- Is that an NSX?

There should be a Law regrading putting good cars to waste like that!

£3k for the kit, tbh in that gunmetal grey I actually think it looks quite good, the only thing i'd lose is the big plastic sheet over the rear window.

I really like it, well apart from the rear spoiler... but it's not that bad.

It's only an mr2!

I quite like it too, if it was toned down a little (the front especially), sprayed in black with a different spoiler and wing mirrors it would look a lot better. Considering it's not your average boy stick on racer bodykit tat, it should make the car a lot lighter I guess.

Durzel · 10 Oct 2007 at 11:18

Looks like a knock-off Noble, I'm sure that's whats intended by the kit whether it's called "RV Le Mans" or any other fancy name.

Do MR2 owners have a fundamental problem with their car looking normal or something? I always liked the way the MR2s looked as standard.

GSXRMovistar · 10 Oct 2007 at 11:31

Lose the spoiler, rear window cover and change rear light cluster setup and I don't think it would look too bad.

GeX · 10 Oct 2007 at 11:58

i like it.

Confused · 10 Oct 2007 at 12:24

I think it looks quite good. I'd have been quite hard-pressed to tell it was an MR2 if I hadn't been told.

I bet most of you don't like kit cars, because they're different to the original car (most of them are based on running gear of a single car), because for the same reason, the owner wants something different.

same, if it was gunmetal colour

I don't think it looks all that bad really.
