Replica

Would you like to own a Bugatti Veyron? Well today could be your lucky day because we've found one for you, and it will cost you just a little over $3,000. How's that possible you ask, which you should ask because the lowest sticker on a new Veyron is well over one million bucks. The reason you can...

Do you dream of one day parking a Bugatti Veyron outside of your home? Well, that's a rather big dream and it would take an equally big stack of cash to pull that off. A Veyron is a seven-figure car produced in small numbers. The combination of rare and expensive means that it's highly unlikely...

The great race cars of yesterday command outrageous prices today, so sometimes putting one in your driveway requires a little creativity. That's what the builder of this beast from Bring A Trailer did. What we have here is a replica 1971 Porsche 917/10 Can-Am racer powered by a pair of Subaru...

UPDATE: Earlier today we brought you a story about a company called Mansory Cars (no relation to German tuner Mansory) claiming to offer replica supercars for sale, including one styled like Ferrari’s LaFerrari flagship. After receiving some accusations that the company is a scam we decided...

Eight years ago, rabid Top Gear fan Jacek Mazur set out to build a replica of his dream car, the McLaren F1. We first heard about Mazur and his ambitious project back in 2011, but now the Polish amateur mechanic has finally completed the car. Mazur’s F1 replica is likely to fool even an...

Last week, Spanish authorities arrested eight individuals for running a supercar replica business, where mostly fake Ferraris were built using humble Toyota parts and then sold for upwards of 40,000 euros (approximately $53,000). We have no doubt the people buying the fake cars knew they were fake...

In the art world, it’s not uncommon and completely legal for rare works to be reproduced, usually because the originals are so rare and valuable that the only way to share them with others, yet still preserve them, is through means of a replica. While it’s true that even a Ferrari can...

We see numerous replica supercars come and go, including some that could fool even an expert’s eye, but rarely do you hear of the cars’ builders being busted by the cops, despite the obvious copyright infringements and other breaches of the law that typically go hand in hand with...

Winter in the Northeast can be cruel to those with a passion for automobiles and driving. How cruel? Well, to be specific, we were scheduled to test drive the Bailey P4 replica seen here on a recent trip to New York, until back-to-back snow storms put a damper on our plans. We trust our ability to...

If you want to buy an original Aston Martin DBR1, expect to pay as much as $32 million for a car with a significant and documented racing history. Even the non-functional DBR1 scale model kit sculpture created by the Evanta Motor Company drew a pre-auction estimate close to $50,000, so what can an...

As manufacturing becomes ever more automated, it's much easier to appreciate the work of traditional craftsmen, slaving over blocks of wood for hours on end and producing works of art entirely by hand. It certainly makes us appreciate the work that went into this teak, full-scale 1955 Mercedes-Benz...

Replicas can be a divisive topic among gearheads. Owning a replica isn't the same as owning the real thing, but it does allow people the illusion of owning their dream car--and if that dream car is incredibly rare or expensive, then a good replica can be the next best thing. If that car is the...

Ferrari built the 1952 340 Mexico Berlinetta to compete in the Carrera Panamericana race, and GWA Tuning has created a modern version of the car that took third place.

For gearheads, Batman is clearly the best superhero. It's nothing to do with the cape, nor having the appearance and skills of a nocturnal flying creature, oh no - it's because his favourite method of transportation has always been a cool car. From a modified Lincoln Futura concept car in the...

Accessing the internet in your car is nothing new these days. Using the internet to build your car is rather more special. That's exactly what Kentucky-based vintage car enthusiast Bob Ferry did, constructing his "brand new" 1906 Oldsmobile Model B Runabout using information downloaded from Google...

It never ceases to amaze us how many individuals are out there willing to convert perfectly good sports cars--but usually junk--into replica supercars that more often than not look worse than something a five-year-old with some cardboard and sparkles could come up with. The latest project is based...

The original Daytona Coupe was a race car based loosely on the AC Cobra roadster that was produced in an extremely limited run of just six cars during the 1960s. The cars were created in collaboration with a number of racing legends including Carroll Shelby, Peter Brock and Bob Negstad, and with a...
