Alcohol, there is no denying, has played a major role in human history -- both good and bad. In a gut-wrenching example of the latter, tequila is believe to be a major factor in this most unholy abomination, an Audi R8 replica based on a 2001 Mercury Cougar. Alberto Gavach Fuertes of Spain is flirting with a possible lawsuit from Audi AG after a night of drunken lasciviousness with a welding torch and a Cougar placed him in a tight spot come morning."I'd already reshaped the hood and cut out room for the characteristic side blades when I came to the next morning. My friends warned me about Cougars, too," explains Fuertes. "[They] said it'll make me do strange things. I didn't have much of a choice. I couldn't drive the car as it was, so I finished the project and showed up to work after the afternoon siesta."
This is not the first example of Latino inebriation mixed with ruthless automotive fabrication skill resulting in horrible automotive consequences. The DeTomaso Pantera, while officially Italian, was drawn and roughly prototyped -- American V8 and all -- one Thursday night in Argentina in the late 1960s using only beer bottle caps and a protractor.
While the ReplicaAudiR8, as the Cougar is known, is a very convincing attempt at an Audi R8 replica, automotive enthusiasts everywhere are calling for it to be set alight, allowing holy cleansing flames to rid the world of its filth.
"I tried to make the best of a bad situation. It's a very good replica, you cannot deny. I'm setting a very high bar with this one." Yes, Fuertes. Agreed. Of the aspiring rulers of Turd Mountain, you are, indeed, king.
