Replica Cars, Would You Drive one?

Hi Folks, I am sure everyone has admired one super car or the other from Range to Bugatti to Rolls Royce and the likes. One thing strikes me. I have seen a few "re-manufacturers" who come up with exact same replicas of these cars and they are looking so good and price friendly that an individual in the middle class can really afford one. starting at $20,000 for a phantom, I see these cars flooding the streets of Nigeria pretty soon (if they are not already). One goes to wonder if most of the super super cars we see in Nigeria are actually real from the original manufacturers.

Most of them are fitted with Toyota Camry, Ford Mustang or BMW engines and I have seen a few Nigerians who are already in the business of building these cars themselves. (Although they don't reside in Nigeria).

So, I am putting it to folks here, lets discuss what we think about these replica cars, are they good enough? is it something you can buy or something you would dare not even doling out cash to acquire? I really cannot give technical specifications but I would tell you that these cars are exact replicas of the original with exact same features both in aesthetics and functionality.

Attached below are a few pictures....what do you think?
