Japanese tuner Rabbit proposes Toyota MR2-based Zonda clone

By DINO DALLE CARBONARE
AutoWeek | Published 10/24/06, 6:02 am et


Want to get your hands on an impossibly exotic Pagani Zonda supercar for a mere $50,000? Okay, so maybe the Rabbit MR2 PG-Z isn’t the all-carbon, Italian beast powered by a 7.3-liter AMG V12. But it sure looks the part.

The Rabbit MR2 PG-Z is one of the craziest and most ambitious projects to come out of Japan. In a quest to create something different, Porsche tuner Rabbit Corp. has transformed a Toyota MR2 into a Zonda lookalike. Although still in the early stages (the photos show a wood model—note the lack of headlights), the idea is to offer a full transformation to MR2 owners who want something unique.

To come close to the actual proportions of the Pagani, Rabbit had to extend the wheelbase by almost 12 inches. The whole roof section was custom built by lowering and inclining the pillars, mimicking the lines of the Zonda, while all the glass was hand cut.

Rabbit Corp. built its prototype to gauge interest and has yet to finish the interior and engine. With an estimated $30,000 premium over the price of an MR2, the Rabbit PG-Z project might never develop to its full potential. Then again the Japanese crave originality and uniqueness enough that the Rabbit MR2 Zonda might be just what they’re looking for.

even worse than the TKR Barabus? lol
Equally useless, lol

Which is ironic because it also has Pagani copied styling

it's not that bad.
"i want you to put it in my ass" shahahansa says. he turns around and bends forwards. then he wiggles his butt like a happy dog. "i want you dee.....i want you deeeeeee....i want you deee....i want you deep inside me". shahahansa is full of excitement and can't control his stuttering. you smile and slowly shove your pudding gun inside his anus. a light moan from both parties takes the pressure of the whole ordeal. you gently start to move your rod back and forth. faster and faster. shahahansa starts to moan like a seacow that has just given birth. when you both reach the climax, the whole situation just gotten messy. chord is having the runs. at first you look away in disgust and almost start to puke, but the look in his eyes hypnotize you. while the spetterpoep runs out uncontrollably you pound him, like you have never pound before. you both come in a way unimaginable. it never felt that good. shahahansa smiles at you. you smile back. this was the best sex ever.
