FIrst glance thought it was a Z car trying to be a Jag. Looks like a SEMA build, someone went to great bit of expense for this I reckon.

Looks like a "barn find" that's been sitting in the weather with the paint peeling for 20 years. And is that the radiator exposed behind a missing grill? What possesses people to think this might look good?

Atleast it makes the 3rd gens look nice but it's flaw is on the back wheels cause the body looks ugly looking that wide like they tried to turn it into a ricer

That's a 07 model Barry.

The 3rd gen is correct cause they have 5 generations of the XK in total.The 1st gen is the 4.0L engine from 1996-2002.The 2nd gen came out in 2003-2006 with the 4.2L but kept the same 1st gen body style.The 3rd gen introduced a new body style(that is this 1)but kept the 4.2L engine from 2007-2009.The 4th gen introduced the 5.0L and got a face lift with the same 3rd gen body style from 2010-2011.The 5th gen got another facelift with DRL headlights but kept the same everything else from the 4th gen from 2012-2015.The XK last generation is the best looking but i think it had 1 more generation left they could've done and had 2 sports cars going with the F-Type and XK like Dodge is doing with the charger and challenger.I say they should've redesigned the XK and kept the same front look about it and gave it the same rear end look as the F-Type.I hate how F types look in front but love how the F type looks in the rear and i sort of feel that way about the XK in vice versa by loving how the XK looks from the front but hate how it sort looks like a 1998 supra in the rear

Props to them for creativity and professional work on the details. Yeah, it a Tokyo kiddiecar, but it's not some hackwork POS like the Aston is.

Next we'll see some bigwheel job.

Maybe if a car looks like it’s been totaled, you can get a lower insurance rate in Japan?

This would have to be something to do just to look different i guess.I say if the rims didn't look so he big for it,it would look pretty cool
