Check this out: A Japanese-built Mercedes-Benz 190 SL doppelg?nger whose underpinnings actually originate from the Three-Pointed Star?s arch rival. That?s right?this rather convincing 1955-1963 MB knockoff is actually a BMW beneath its curvaceous panels.

The strangely-named Duesen Bayern Mystar requires a donor BMW Z3, whose prices have depreciated enough to make this a bizarrely compelling option for those who desire vintage car looks with contemporary performance. Because the BMW was offered with a range of engines throughout its lifecycle, the Mystar can be outfitted as a modest cruiser and urban runabout, or as something approaching a proper apex-clipping sports car.

No word on whether an M Roadster?s hairy-chested 3.2-liter I-6 (or its increased width) can fit underneath the Mystar?s curves without any modification, but we can hope, right?

We?re not exactly up on our Japanese, so we can?t make heads-or-tails out of the website, but feel free to take a shot yourself by clicking on the link below.

The wheels and the windscreen don't work well. Sort of ruin the car. The company also appears to make a Fiat 500 look alike as well, only with 4 doors.
 
Do you actually use the word "doppelg?nger" ? :) :D
Yes, among other words like "Zeitgeist", "Schadenfreude", "Kindergarten" et cetera. :)
 
What's not to like about it? Let's assume the dynamics are ok (with a Z3 donor, should be decent at least). It looks pretty damn good.
