FactThis Australian hand-built supercar borrows an unlikely part bin item: its tail-lights are lifted straight from a 2000s Honda Integra DC5.
The Bolwell Mk X Nagari, announced in late 2006 and confirmed for 2008 production (prototype shown at the 2008 Melbourne and Sydney motor shows, on sale from 2009), is a carbon-fibre-bodied, mid-engined two-seat coupe reviving the Nagari name — a completely different car from the 1970s Mk VIII, built with a carbon-fibre tub and composite body. The base Nagari 300 uses a fettled Toyota Aurion-sourced 3.5-litre 2GR-FE V6 (naturally aspirated or supercharged); the range-topping Nagari 500 instead uses a 6.2-litre LS3 V8 sourced from the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, making 500 hp (370 kW) at 6,600 rpm. Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, 6-speed manual or automatic; wheelbase 2,350 mm (92.5 in), length 4,100 mm (161.4 in), width 1,830 mm (72.0 in), height 1,175 mm (46.3 in), curb weight 920-990 kg (2,028-2,183 lb).

Owning one

Bolwell's V8 sports car ran Ford suspension and dampers, but the steering rack came from the humble, front-wheel-drive Austin 1800 family sedan.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
