Someone fitted a Nissan GT-R front end to a Stagea Wagon and weirdly it looks like it’s meant to be

This guy created a kit car gluing together a Nissan Stagea and a Nissan GT-R, and the result is hilarious.

The kit car is mostly based on the Stagea, a long-forgotten Nissan wagon, with the exception of the front end.

The front part comes from a Nissan GT-R and, amazingly, it looks like it was meant to be there.

And by the way this kit car is actually for sale.

The world’s first Nissan GT-R wagon?

This ‘mutt’ car was put together by Chris Watson, aka Tofu Auto Works on YouTube, who documented the whole process with tens of videos.

The idea was simple.

Chris chose the Stagea, an old wagon that Nissan engineers themselves probably forgot about, as a platform.

After buying a 2007 Stagea Autech Axis in good condition, Chris removed the car’s face and replaced it with the front end of a Nissan GT-R R35, the iconic Skyline model that Nissan recently retired.

Chris did a great job and the world’s first Nissan GT-R wagon looks like it came out of a Nissan factory.

Speaking of which, the rest of the car is mostly in stock condition, including the engine, a 276-HP 3.5-liter V6 unit that the Stagea shares with several different Nissan Z-models.

Chris put the car up for sale, by the way.

If anybody wants it, it’ll only cost them $4,000.

Not a bad deal for a Stagea that looks, sort of, like a GT-R.

Kit cars are always hit or miss

The term kit car can be used for anything, including for horrible mix-and-match jobs putting together cars that shouldn’t be together.

As a result, kit cars are usually either great or horrible, with not a lot in between.

We think the Nissan Stagea/GT-R is great, and we would put it in the same category as the the Tesla-powered AC Cobra or the weird Lamborghini Gallardo Frankencar we mentioned a while back.

We would also add the awesome Volgatti to the list.

Based on three different cars, including a Soviet-era Volga sedan, this ‘fake’ Bugatti – pictured above – is incredible.

It looks like it belongs to the Fallout series, as though was designed in a retro-futuristic alternate future.
