6 Head-Scratching Car Manufacturer Collaboration Renders
Toyota is adamant that you just can’t make a business case for sports cars these days. That is unless you get into bed with another manufacturer to share the development cost burdens, just as it did with BMW to give the world a new Supra and Z4.
Taking inspiration from this move, Budget Direct commissioned a set of renders that imagine future collaborations between manufacturers. And they’re all mash-ups of existing models.
Yes, we know that’s not exactly how such joint ventures would look IRL, but the results are nonetheless worth a look. They range from actually pretty nice to nightmare-inducing…
VW and Ford
Lamborghini and BMW
Bentley and Ferrari
Dodge and Chevrolet
Smart and Land Rover
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

For some reason, the BMW and the Lamborghini mix looks like the BMW i8
I saw this posted on DriveTribe a few weeks ago
Are you about to be banned?
I think the CT staff might actually be living in the past.
ABSOLUTELY YES TO EVERY SINGLE ONE
Dodge and Chevrolet mix boutta piss off a lotta people haha
They all make me nauseous
I feel like the only ones that look good are the first 2
Most of these almost work, weirdly.
I had to blink like 5 times at all of these.
The Bentley and Ferrari mix just looks like the current F-Type.
I am a fan of the VW and Ford cross though…
I absolutely love the Smart Rover, with some refining I feel it could actually look quite nice!
I’m a big fan of the VW+ ford combo. It looks somehow modern but doesn’t take from the older gen golf and focus.
