10 Expensive Rides With Parts Borrowed From Cheap Cars
Just because a car is ludicrously expensive, that doesn't mean all of its parts are uniquely milled from unobtanium. Occasionally, supercars borrow parts from much cheaper cars, and occasionally their unique parts look identical to those found on very ordinary motors!

I feel like Nissan started the recycling bin wheel trend
The real fail there is the Radio of the Zonda……
But if you owned one, would you care?
LCD touch displays weren’t so popular back in 1999, you know.
Seriously. Did they get that used from some guy wanting to finally upgrade the radio from his 93 civic again?
Time to buy a Daewoo.

VW group is sharing parts and design too.
I can’t call that sharing. Those are 3 identical cars, come from the same assembly line, only a few exterior and even fewer interior parts are unique to make the different branding.
The last picture is in my home town lol but it is true
The Mclaren F1 one is absolute horse crap. You could have pointed at the sun and said: “Look the same taillights”
Actually, the selection of tailights was based on weight and when Gordon Murray was looking for tailights, it turned out that tailights from a bus was the lightest possible option.
MG X power SV used Fiat punto headlights if I remember correctly
yeah and fiat coupe tail lights
These headlights look way better though.
90% of the LFA interior is found in a Yaris..
