MadaboutKitcars

Mind you since owning a Kobra from the MX250 i like fact of a convertible being a convertible. The car feels more of a factory built motor than a kit car.

I always saw the MR2 mk2 as a perfect base for a Porsche 904. Im surprised that nobody has tried it as I love the 904 and Im sure that it would sell well.

There is an eBay listing for a full set of fibre glass race panels for the Audi r8 on eBay today, that look very good quality now make those fit on a TT and you have a winner. Ed

You can buy an R8 body kit to fit the newer shape TT already

The ones on sale are actual R8 panels double skinned ready to bolt on to an r8 they are what they use on race cars.

I know, and then they would be made to fit a TT and be onto a winner is what your saying. Its been done allready I just cant find the kit! Will post the link when i find it. Its a complete 'ish' audi R8 replica on an audi TT. Its going to annoy me now to find the link as I have seen it somewhere!

I have found the photo of them together..

Cheers for that Danny ,It may need bigger brakes, odd how so many things are different but it kind of works in fact I prefer the front arches on the top one. The other week I saw a range rover that looked odd I really couldn't place it, i thought it may of been a factory development thing or similar as my mate works for them in design engineering and he used to drive about in all manner of prototypes mainly jaguar when they where part of the same group. Whilst searching for your r8 and the boxter speedster above i realised it was a re panelled L322 to 2015 conversion, you may find it interesting and now I can't find the link for that. I think they are based in Bradford. Ed

The front end - maybe, sort of, if you squint a bit
The back end - just no. Heavy, stubby, bulky. Just no

Sorry to dissappoint you all but that Audi R8 replica in the photo is not based on a TT. Its an R8 replica built on a Ford Cougar. It was built in Spain a few years ago and the builder hoped to sell many at 40.000€ but with such a crazy price it remained a one-off.

There are many R8 style bodykits for the TT, such as the one from Caractere, but they are not replicas, they are just lookalikes.

That will be why I cant find the link for the TT kit then! I typed in google 'audi tt r8 replica' and that the image I got.

This is a 904 replica and it's based on a Boxter. This one is built by Gullwing America and the price of the conversion is around 70 Grand.

Hmmmm - that would be nice too!

Want one!

How bout a swb with the extra side window from a Maserati a6g 54. Has a nice sleek look. And an extra window like the db5/6

Can get 19's on a mk3 Toyota mr2s

Although I think the Boxter is the best bet for a Speedster replica the Audi TT could be also be used for this type of type project.



And if you use an Audi TT Coupe (base model) you could create a sort of 356 Silver Bullet style. These were the Porsche 356C Hot Rod racers.



In my opinion it would look better and would be a lot cheaper than the French PGO Hemera. (Peugeot running gear and a 37,000 Eur. price tag)

Underneath their doofy sheetmetal, the PGO Cevennes and Hemera actually have what appears to be decent hardware, including mid-mounted, 181-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines from the BMW Group. (So, the previous-generation Mini Cooper S engine.)

My only issue with a TT as the base for a Speedster is the cooling situation. As the TT is front engined it's going to require a fair sized radiator grille that would probably look weird on a Speedster looking replica. Obviously a porker boxster wouldn't have such an issue here but would still require side vents.

Very Andy, I agree with you about the cooling issue. But maybe adding a few extra cooling grills just like the original Porsche Silver Bullet might just work.

Yes i know awful idea but if you simplified the lines of the front how would a lotus exige front look on a Ferrari 250 swb from the side. From the a pillar.

It is an awfull idea, but hre you have it. :-(

If you could rearrange the front to represent the overhang of an mx5 that might stretch the wheelbase a bit to help with proportions. Thanks if possible. If don't ask never will know. Plus i think the lotus front sits a bit lower as to say its a different proportion to say how it would look sat beside a swb. Tried sketching it but allways comes out like a Porsche panamera with curvier back end

Looks a bit Alpine A110 meets Alfa 4C and has unwanted love child to me.

I was looking at the origins of the design of the mx5 and what inspired it. I came up with what looked like the lotus élan 1962. The indicators were on the corners of the front wings and pop up lights. Then as you do,how would i replicate that to appeal today. Eg mx5 as donor lotus élan 1962 bonnet with Elise headlights keeps all the bulbs in one neat light unit. Its what i do to relax .
