Don't feel bad if you initially thought that this Toyota Celica Supra replica was the real deal. This convincing copycat was created by a Danish teenager (he's only 18) who really wanted to own the iconic Toyota sportscar. However, owning a Supra outside of Japan is easier said than done, so the teenager built one himself using a Toyota Celica.
The Toyota Celica Supra replica features the front and rear panels lifted directly from the aforementioned sportscar. A carbon-fiber hood, rocker panels and 19-inch Lenzo alloys were also added into the mix. The car is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine good for 297 horsepower. The Toyota Celica Supra replica is currently available for purchase on the Danish site Vmax for $12,000.
