And it's... different.

For me it's too angular and too low. Really needs more curves and more space between the body and ground.

Excellent concept, ghastly execution. One would think a more sensible designer could come up with a far more appealing homage, rather than this Radwood escapee abomination.

That...that thing in there? That's not the Cosmo.

Too bad they didn't actually look at the cosmo first.

There may be a superficial resemblance, but only just.

History has shown that body kits meant to make car A look like car B hardly ever work.

It appears to be the Manga version.

I'm not sure that's kind to either the Miata or the Cosmo. Definitely a high-effort tribute though. You cannot deny the commitment.

It's the low vertex count 16 bit video game rendering version.

It's the Wachowski Speed Racer version.

It appears that something got lost in translation.

I don't know why someone can't create a good looking kit car. It's seems like it would be really easy. Just copy the angle and curves you see in person. That guy that built a 1:1 Diablo replica did it.

That is not even close. If it was standing by its self I would never think Cosmo.

Just noticed the NATS license plate, and that explains everything. (Just do an image search for "NATS Japan.")

I mean, this isn't bad. It's a Ferrari 328, Toyota 1uz, and STI 6spd. Nice combo.
