Nice Photoshop work for sure...

With those real Brembo brakes you'd only need brakes on the front to do some great stoppies! hehe.

Nope, those are all real cars that you can actually drive. I saw a show on the Discovery channel about the guy in the little red mini Vette on top there. I have also seen the lil Porche, the Mini, and the Lamborgini as well.

No, they aren't... are there kits for the Smart Car? I have no doubt there are, but these are photoshop editted images made for fun that have been posted on every car, bike, whatever forum in the last six months. Would love to see the episode you saw that had some real kits though, remember which show? They did some great crash tests on the Smart Car too.

Not to try to argue with you or anything here, but they are real cars that you can actually drive. They are not kits for anything. Someone makes these from scratch. The ground up. I was thinking about it, and I am pretty sure the channel was actually The Discovery Science Channel, on a show called Beyond Tomorrow, or some other weekly show they have on this channel.

Now, this is not to say that I know for a 100% fact, because I was not actually there on the show at the time, or actually in/at the car at the time. All I saw was a television show that these actual cars were being driven in/on. I am also pretty confident that you can not say with 100% certainty that these photos of that film footage are actually "Photo-shopped" either. No?

Anyways,
I am telling you (No B.S.) I actually saw most of those cars actually being driven on that show.

Seriously? That's crazy! I'd be all over that porche .. way more exciting than an actual smart car.

Any links to info or clips from the show? I'd love to see more details on the actual work that goes in to such a crazy project
