Most Toyota Supra owners spend their time tricking out the 2JZ-GTE engine to hit the 1,000 horsepower milestone, however the British owner of this car decided to turn it into a replica of an Aston Martin DBS sports car. We guess he was a big fan of the James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, since that car was constantly in the spotlight. With the low resolution pictures from the eBay UK auction it’s hard to tell how good the quality of the body is, yet it looks like it could fool the average bystander.

These replica car makers are getting pretty good at what they do these days, just check out this McLaren F1 replica. While it doesn’t hold the same power as the original supercar, this one was constructed around an Audi V6 30v engine that most likely produces around 190 to 250 HP depending on the displacement. While the seller did not disclose all the specifications about the car, you can try to get your hands on this for about 150,000 Polish Zlotych, Euro €35,000 or US $45,000.

Check out this black and yellow Honda Civic sporting some Bugatti Veyron styling in a parking lot. For this 1992-1995 model it looks as if the only major modification was the front bumper, side skirts, and custom rear quarter panels. Headlights look to be aftermarket but still have the same factory shape to them.

Most people on this site would kill to own a Bugatti Veyron, but when reality sets in, it’s just not going to happen. That’s when the Bugatti Veyron replica car builders come to play, and this two million dollar Bugatti Veyron now has a cheap price tag. Well not exactly cheap at 89,000 USD, but a fraction of what it would cost to own a real Bugatti Veyron. This replica car was built on a 2002 Mercury Cougar with a V6 and automatic transmission. Only major problem I see is the car having 112,000 miles! It will probably need a new engine swap and suspension soon, however a potential new owner will have the body work, 20-inch wheels, angel eye HID headlights, LED taillights, functional gas cap, and power windows with working mirrors. The eBay seller says the interior is still in progress but very close to being ready for upholstery. We’ll keep our eye on this one and see how it turns out. You can check the listing here.

This Bentley replica doesn’t look half bad, based off a Chrysler Sebring, which seems like a decent car for building a replica of a Continental GTC. It’s definitely better than the old Pontiac Fiero’s people are using to build Ferrari and Lamborghini replicas. Was listed on eBay and the auction has already ended, with no bids unfortunately, so we’re not sure if it will ever be completed. However, for the money, this Bentley replica seems like a good car investment if someone can finish it to look exactly like the real deal. The seller claims that he will be finishing the carpet, adding a new windscreen, door mirrors, and a custom dual exhaust with real Bentley tips. Pictures also show authentic Bentley interior pieces, but a dashboard will need to be custom made to fit these. Then it will need the seats upholstered, a new convertible top, sound system, and navigation to make it look 100% genuine.
