Nissan GT-R replica Ford Cougar Is Up for Sale for Under $9,000

Replicas have become better over the years, but this latest entry into the scene is remarkable for its sheer affordability. The Nissan GT-R replica Ford Cougar has surfaced on Germany’s Mobile listing website, offering an accessible alternative for buyers drawn to the shape and presence of Nissan’s performance flagship, but at a fraction of the cost.

Listed at about €7,500 (approximately $9,000 USD), this budget-friendly entry point for something styled after a modern performance icon is certainly entertaining. While it doesn’t promise supercar pace, it demonstrates how far some builders will go to merge affordability with aspiration.

Here is a closer look at the creation and why it is catching attention.

Godzilla by Name, Cougar at Heart

This GT-R recreation was built in 2019 on a Ford Cougar chassis, a car known for its reliable but unassuming mechanical simplicity. The custom fabrication work attempts to mimic the aggressive aesthetic of the GT-R.

Component	Specification	Note
Donor Chassis	Ford Cougar	Built on the reliable European market platform.
Engine	2.5L V6	Naturally aspirated, producing 163 hp.
Transmission	Manual	Paired with the V6, offering an engaging feel despite the low power output.
Mileage	3,107 Miles Total	Extremely low mileage for a chassis of this age.
Exterior	Original GT-R Bumpers, Fiberglass Panels	Uses actual GT-R bumpers blended with custom fiberglass work.
Interior	Fully Reupholstered	Includes features like automatic climate control, a rear camera, and a TV.

The Powertrain Reality

While the finished product looks like a high-performance coupe, the Nissan GT-R replica Ford Cougar maintains the mechanical simplicity of its donor vehicle. The 163 hp V6 is a far cry from the real GT-R’s glorious VR38DETT, which produces well over 500 horsepower.

However, the car’s current price makes it accessible to almost anyone. For the price of a decent used motorcycle or a high-end gaming PC, you could own a conversation piece that confuses purists, delights onlookers, and turns every gas-station stop into an impromptu Q&A session.

The fact that this Nissan GT-R replica Ford Cougar is so transparently humble—it knows what it is—makes it a uniquely refreshing listing in a world saturated with high-priced, perfect replicas. It offers the GT-R shape in spirit for the ultimate budget buyer.
