Community Question! What expensive cars have parts (or look similar to parts) that come from much cheaper cars?
After spotting the brilliant image above posted by Costin, we started chatting about expensive cars that have parts from cheaper cars.

We’ll compile the best later this week!

No ones mentioning the Lotus Evora’s engine…
The 2003- 2010 vipers have the same climate controls, radio, Window switches and key fob as pretty much any other dodge from that era.
Lamborghini Aventador key is the same as my moms A4 diesel automatic
I’ve always thought these look quite alike? Correct me if I’m wrong though.
MX5 and F type taillights
Every expensive car has a engine and cheap cars have engines too
Hmm… the Scion FRS looks kinda similar to the Subaru BRZ and the Toyota 86 don’t ya think
Mclaren F1 has same side mirror switch as all older opels
It’s also in the Lamborghini Murcielago.
A really rare, but unforgettable example would be Bristol! The Blenheim 3 used taillights from the Opel (Vauxhall) Senator… There was also a Blenheim 4 with the taillight from the Audi A4 Avant B6, but it never made it to production:
