Pretty standard knowledge that low production supercars use parts originally from other cars... no need to custom make everything just for the sake of being unique.

gearshifter 10-18-2010 09:46 PM

interesting find! any more of those?

Redlines_Daily 10-18-2010 09:47 PM

^^ I think everything should be custom, for the sake of being unique! Also, to justify the crazy price tags.

Try producing DOT headlights, let's see how much a ding to your wallet that is:troll:

Lotus Esprit uses AE86 tail lights.

Appearently DB7's use older Corona tail lights.

If I were to buy an exotic, I wouldn't care if some parts were shared with cheap city cars. I'd care mostly about the insane performance and driving experience you can get from owning one of these incredible machines.

Oh and let's not forget about these being pussy magnets lol.

This thread had potential with its title.

Arash 10-21-2010 07:55 PM

I agree, learning from the Ak, this thread is now about exotics next to regular cars

yup. Next time you see a lotus Esprit V8 with this style tail light look closer, the lenses read "Toyota"

nothing surprising though, I mean you pop open an Exige/Elise/Evora engine cover today it says Toyota too ROFL. :rofl:
