Think the same thing of it but:

1) this is a repost of a reposted repost

2) might be the best looking changeover I have ever seen. Incredible, too bad there arent more details.

I saw that before and actually thinks that is an amazing job that the creators did. Except for the body gaps, the lines of the SLR were retained. I love how he even put the modern engine shrouding on the old thing, haha. Great job by this guy, the Asian-Ferrari, however looked like ****ake mushrooms IMHO. Too bad I don't like the overall look of the SLR, or I'd like the looks of this guy's finished product too!

I think the nsx ended up looking better. But nevertheless, beautiful craftsmanship.
