Imagine a world where you can build a car in your garage that not only embarrasses Lamborghinis but does so at a fraction of the cost. This is the realm of DIY madness, where seven cheap kit cars redefine the concept of bang for your buck. Take the K1 Attack, also known as the VTEC Assault, a beast born from an old Honda Civic but transformed into a mid-engine rocket with scissor doors and a Lamborghini-style tube frame. It's a factory-built formula car disguised as a used Civic, offering supercar-like performance for a mere 10,000 bucks.
Then there's the Mev Exo Set, a stripped-down Mazda Miata turned into an exoskeletal missile that's 30% lighter than stock, boasting the reliability of Mazda's powertrain. The Bower Catfish takes the Miata's mechanical bones and slaps on a sleek composite body, shedding over 600 lbs and offering muscle car-like performance for just 14K. Vintage enthusiasts can opt for the Listster Bell STR, a replica of the iconic Lancia Stratos rally car, delivering legendary rally vibes at a fraction of the cost of the real deal.
For those craving off-road adventures, the Goblin Allterrain is a dune buggy-like creation that looks like it's straight out of Mad Max. With a souped-up Volkswagen engine under its hood, this off-road beast can be assembled for under 30K, offering wild power and lightweight performance. And let's not forget the factory 818C, a sleek mid-engine coupe designed to leverage Subaru WRX components, delivering supercar-level thrills on a modest budget. At the higher end of the spectrum is the Ultima RS, a British kit car inspired by group C race cars, boasting performance figures that rival multi-million dollar hypercars.
