Super cars destroyed by stupid custom guru's

Post by Tony Z »

I found a couple of cars either designed by idiots are modified to the point of stupidity and uglyness....

Feel free to add your own!!

Red Gold Dream McLaren SLR 999

This red beast is called the Red Gold Dream McLaren SLR 999 and the 999 refers to the car’s ability to pump out 1000hp. In reality the name most accurately reflects the owner: BOZO the CLOWN.

Just when we thought we had seen the cheesiest and cheapest call for attention with the fake Chrome Mclaren SLR brought to you by some attention needy clowns in Dubai, we are unpleased to announce we have found the world’s ugliest McLaren SLR. This disgrace of an SLR gives this modified UGLY Corvette C3 a run for it’s money.

Sbarro Autobau

This grotesque mish-mash of automotive design themes is the Sbarro Autobau — a "tribute" to Swiss racing driver Fredy Lienhard. We assume the designer hates him because this is truly the ugliest car we've ever seen.

View the gallery
We've seen some ugly cars in our time, but today marks some good news for Japan's Mitsuoka Orochi, which is now no longer the ugliest car in the world. Now it's just the second ugliest.

That's because the most shocking debut at this year's Geneva Motor Show wasn't the hybrid super cars or the bevy of crossovers. Rather it was this one-off concept car built by eccentric designer Franco Sbarro.

Let's take a look at why this beast is so stunningly horrible on the eyes. Starting from the front (or at least what we think is the front), the Autobau looks like an early prototype of a Cylon Raider so frightening even homicidal robots were forced to change it for fear of getting the heebie-jeebies. Moving backwards there's a windshield so flat it's unlikely anyone over the age of six will be able to see through it.

Along the sides the design incorporates Lamborghini Gallardo cutlines through the windows, which alone would look good. Unfortunately, the designer slapped a set of windows on behind the passenger cockpit making it look absolutely revolting. And the clamshell-like way in which it opens to swallow driver and passenger? Hideous.

And the rear end? We'll let you know if we find one. The car essentially ends with an overhang so gigantic anything over a four-degree incline will cause the Autobau to get stuck. According to the creator, there's a Ferrari V12 engine stuffed in the back of the car producing 500 HP — power you'll need to escape anyone with a camera.

and then we have the Enzo Reventon
Predator Xtreme Blends Lamborghini and Ferrari Styling into One Odd Fiero Kit Car

Sure it’s crossed our mind before. Take the best of Ferrari and Lamborghini and shove it all into one car. The result would be pure awesome, wouldn’t it? Apparently not, especially if you don’t quite hit the nail on the head. We spotted this one-off custom car that clearly blends inspired styling from a Ferrari Enzo and a Lamborghini Reventon. But the overall product is just a disaster.

At first you’ll see Lamborghini design cues when you spot the headlights and the overall front end, but clearly there’s a ton of Enzo inspiration also going on. Then pop into the interior (via the awesome convertible) and notice the center-drive and McLaren F1-style seating. When you get to the rear, you’ll be blown away by the Infiniti G35 taillights.

We do give lots of credit for thinking (way) out-of-the-box and being bold enough to execute something like this. Even though the interior looks a little shoddy, the overall project is well put together. We’re just disappointed that when someone finally took the time to blend Italy’s two most iconic car manufacturers the product looks more like a redheaded stepchild.

Oh, and it pretty much goes without saying that this kit car started off life as a Pontiac Fiero.
