Is 2nd gen BRZ a ripoff of the TagAZ Aquila?
I found this low-volume Russian car from ~2013:
https://www.kolesa.ru/article/novyy-...ila-2013-03-21 Now I can't unsee the similarities between the front bumper (the grille, the lip under the grille) and the side skirts of the Aquila and the new BRZ: I gotta admit that I even prefer the more classical design of the sides of the front bumper on the Aquila over the penguins on the new BRZ. [Note: I'm not serious, this is more of a joke. But still, the resemblance is uncanny. Sorry if I forever ruined the design of the BRZ-2 for you!] |

Yeah...
Frankly, I think the BRZ front bumper has more of a family resemblance to the MKIV Supra than the MKV Supra does by a long shot. |

To people who think I'm serious, please re-read the last line of the first post
Found more info on that car! https://www.carthrottle.com/post/a5q45x8/ I have to say some of the prototypes don't look too bad: They were even thinking about a racing series: But... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPM_Motors In 2021 the company filed for bankruptcy. |

Also, did you know that the front end of Tesla Model 3 and Model Y was inspired by a Soviet-era shoe?

I get to say this about once a week now but it bears repeating:
There are only so many configurations of aero design that make sense for a production level car. These configurations all will result in a somewhat similar shape especially in the front of the different cars. It is not coincidence, design theft, based on, etc that dictates these similar front ends and body shapes. It is just simple physics. Oh and that actually looks far better than the new BRZ!
