I'm wondering why you can't take the body of a Porsche Cayman or any other nice car and put a more affordable V6 (or even less powerful) engine in it. I'm sure you can still design the engine so that it balances the car and does whatever other aerodynamic functions it does.

There use to be a lot of this kind of thinking back in the 90's.
But eventually the trend just die out because there is nothing like driving a real thing.
Porsche, Ferrari, Honda NSX, Lambo, engineers have designed the car to be a total balance package.
And driving pleasure of these cars is total joy, not just the brand.
If you have cheapo internals like you suggested, it will just be wrong.
Pluse no one likes a fake anyway.

hellooo
what you are talking about is a kit car... look an ebay you see thme all the time..
They make farrari , lamborgini, porche look alikes.. even fully built some can be bought for a little over 10,000 on ebay.
If you know some one whos mechanically inclined or you are your self you could build one using the chassis engine and running gear off a donor car... BTW .. in the 1990s there was one in europe call an Panache..... It turned more heads than a lamborgini countach.... It was stunning. .

there are some places that sell body kits that you can put on other frames to make it look like the car you want, but inside would be something else. What I have seen this with is a Pontiac Fiero that had a Ferrari body on it.
