MC12. Ish.

Post by mik »

Spotted on another forum.

LS3 powered (with a NotoriousRev spec idle...kinda), and originals probably so rare that most people are fooled (?). If thats your thing. :?

cliks



Reals for comparison.

It looks about as close to a MC12 as a CHR looks to a Urus.
How about not having a sig at all?

Well the paint scheme is similar. The detailing is way off, and there's not much that's original about the MC12 except the details...

Look at this rear view comparison:

It doesn't look anything like an mc12, but as kit cars go it looks pretty good in its own right.

Being too lazy to google, are they based on anything or is it a ground up spaceframe kit?

Stick out like a sore thumb door handles are comic. One of the most distinctive things on the MC Hammer was that wrap around rear wing which they haven't even tried to copy.

Spaceframe, with a mix of C5 parts (subframes, etc)

For the devoid of google.

I don't think they were trying to replicate it anyway really otherwise they would have painted the roof and rear pillars white too.

I think they just liked the colourscheme rather than attempting a proper replica build.

The rear lights on the real thing look just as kit car as the kit car 😂

The MC12 looks like a kit car so shouldn't be too hard to copy.

The Factory Five stuff is really well regarded and is supposed to be very well engineered.

I’d love one of their 1935 Ford pickup kits:

The MC12 is just an enzo based kit car when you think about it
