From China:
Matthew Ungar, who lives in China, was bicycling between Dongguan and Shenzhen when he spotted this unusual silhouette in front of an auto parts store. As he got closer, the car proved to be even stranger than the shape initially promised.
Ungar thinks that the basis of this homebuilt sportster may be some sort of Volkswagen. It's very hard to tell at this point; almost every body panel has been heavily modified. That's not tint on the windows; that's opaque sheet plastic. It's likely that those taillights are there just for decoration. That enormous intercooler? Your guess is as good as ours.
Whatever the platform, the original inspiration is as clear as the windshield banner and grille ornament: Someone who loves hot-rod Mustangs wanted to build a tribute to Ford's pony car. The end result is much more Mandarin than Mustang, but it's oddly endearing.
