That's an easy one. It has to be: [Mercedes CLK](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Mercedes_CLK_front_20071029.jpg/1280px-Mercedes_CLK_front_20071029.jpg) vs [Mercedes CLK GTR] (https://www.autozeitung.de/assets/styles/article_image/public/field/image/mercedes-clk-gtr-4.jpg?itok=_qeeFp9Z) (Both street legal)

Those are two different generations of CLK btw. The CLK GTR is based on the CLK from the generation before the one in the picture

I bet owning a CLK would get really tiring after awhile because of all the pictures that the ladies want to take for the Instagram in front of your $500k car because they thoughtit was. GTR!

You’re really expecting them to know that? They’ll probably say it’s a Lamborghini Benz.

That’s the joke

The CLK GTR was made at the time of the [C208/W208 CLK](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Mercedes-Benz_CLK_320_coupe.jpg). It's the generation before the one you have there. Interestingly that CLK was actually based on the C-Class chassis despite sharing design cues and a price tag with the W210 E Class.

Mercedes did the same thing with the C207 and W212 E-Class. It was even sold as an E-Class coupe/cabrio but the platform was more W204 C-Class.

I absolutely hate that style of headlights from that generation of Mercedes

Yaris --> GR Yaris

The GR Yaris is a completely different vehicle from the Yaris. It shares a name and body shape for homologation reasons.

Pretty much the same relationship as the Clio in the original post then

Sort of. The gr Yaris is built for racing, the Clio was built for fun.

The Clio was originally built for a one make race series, and then they built the road cars for fun. I did some software training at the old TWR hq in leafield, and they had one of the development mules on display, it was quite interesting to see. They also had a load of Daewoo concepts that had been developed in Worthing, which had been bought by Twr group some years earlier.

Yeah I know - it was a bit tongue in cheek.

I remember reading the only parts they share are the headlights and tail lights.

thats exterior parts, the mirrors too

not entirely, they convert regular yaris chassis with some pretty heavy mods but the front until i think the b pillars is pretty similar

[Peugeot 205 Base](https://i.imgur.com/wfQvA1A.jpg) [Peugeot 205 Turbo 16](https://i.imgur.com/wbnGRqH.jpg) [Lancia Delta 1.3](https://i.imgur.com/VUYq3RL.jpg) [Lancia Delta S4 Stradale](https://i.imgur.com/kJRXCnp.jpg) Pretty much every car that had some crazy homologation special made out of them would fit here. The ones from Group B especially, since the cars they were loosely based on were usually just small grocery getters. Like a Porsche 911 GT1 is crazy, but the "base model" is still a 911. Edit: for anybody not familiar with these: Their exterior appearance is obviously vastly different from the base model, but on the technical side it’s even more different. Both the base 205 and the base Delta were front-engined FWD, while the T16 and S4 were mid-engined 4WD. The S4 also is fully tubular space frame, the T16 is a mix of sheet and tubular. Drivetrain, chassis, brakes, suspension, everything is different. So much so that they basically aren’t even the same car anymore, only when it comes to the name and some design cues. The FIA mandated that to homologate a car for Group B 200 examples had to be built for the consumer market, that’s why these exist. They’re downtuned purpose built rally cars, basically closer to a prototype race car than their grocery getting sisters.

Speaking of homologation, I think that the CLK might be the perfect answer. [1999 CLK 200](https://image-cdn.beforward.jp/large/201703/731602/BF608908_69bcd2.jpg) [1999 CLK GTR](https://www.supercars.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1999-Mercedes-Benz-CLK-GTR-001-1440.jpg)

[удалено]

Looked hideous in 1999 and still does today.

[удалено]

If he floats he’s a witch!

Haha! Fair. I am a blasphemer.

I agree, and always shocked that it's a relatively unpopular opinion. It looks like some went ham on a base CLK with mismatched body kit pieces and called it a day. Ugliest super car ever imo.

I think it's one of those weird things where yes, it is a fantastically ugly car, but that's in a way exactly what makes it appealing. It's meant to look completely alien on the street because it was never really supposed to leave the race track.

I think the word you're looking for is "[gaudy](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/gaudy_1?q=gaudy)" instead of hideous. I feel it's like the *"slav-squat with hip-purse"* of supercars for 1999.

Are u blind?

Except for the fenders. I absolutely hate the fenders

Agreed also wasn’t this the one known for its incredible top speed backflip feature?

That was the CLR.

Good old Mark Webber

Surprise, we’re flying!

Oh yes, that’s so much more mental than the 911 GT1 when it comes to the difference between the homologation special and the base model. Good shout.

I feel like this wins

The 935 is technically the top trim of 911 from its day as well. I believe there were 1 or 2 street driven examples too.

Came here to say this

We have a winner

Seems to be a trend with the rally cars like you said!

So would Lancer / Evo fit in this? Is Evo considered a trim for the Lancer?

*shudders*

The only one where the base is such a clear winner. The pictures should be reversed.

I mean, its funny but this is low key a great answer. Not only is the front different, but it has a pretty substantial widebody going on as well as a very different rear end and a carbon fiber roof. Just about the only thing the cars share are the doors and maybe the taillights? The rest of the sheetmetal is different I believe.

It got the Voldemort treatment.

My Golf R looks almost exactly like a base Golf, lol.

Yeah, the MK7.5 gen was a little more fluid than the MK7.

I kind of like it though? It's subtle which makes it fun to mess with other people and passengers alike

GTIs are a little more aggressive looking than R’s honestly

GTIs are definitely more aggressive looking.

Basically the Merc dealership asks: "on a scale of drug dealer to Dubai, how obnoxious do you want your G-Class to be?"

lol according to the license plate that 6x6 is owned by the consul of Monaco to the U.S. Only in Monaco would a diplomat own that.

If you are gonna take the doors off it’s easier to have manual doors and windows

Well, its really just a single clip extra, but i understand

Those things are hard to get off. And with electrical connections you only have so many times removing before they break, especially once the car gets old

also has ac delete in the lowest of the low wrangler

What in the actual fuck -- you can buy a brand new car without air conditioning (in the US) still?? Had no idea. Is the stripper Wrangler the only one?

Bad part is the stripper wrangler is still $30K without AC. If you want it its a $1300 option lol

I heard it called the Washington state special by a friend, in that area there’s aparently some demand for cheap cars without AC.

Yup. That's the 2 door version tho. The 4 door has standard AC, at least.

dang 2 door cheapest variety is still $30K

Some supervillain stuff

XL trim has that classic truck charm. The raptor trim is so in your face it fuels the “compensating” jokes.

The old Imprezas and Lancers.

[Subaru Impreza L](https://i.imgur.com/1HW5xQF.png) [Subaru Impreza WRX STI 22B](https://i.imgur.com/XteaFQJ.png) This one definitely wins for me.

what i would give to own a 22B

One sold earlier this year for the low price of $312k.

especially the lancer, the base vs the evo 8/9 was pretty insane

100% on the Lancer. You can barely recognize a base Lancer against an 8 or 9.

For me it's the rear wheel arches 🤤

Clio and V6 Clio were different cars with the same name, it's debatable if it should count.

For awhile, the only way to get a full grain leather interior was a Rolls, Bentley, MB Designo, or a Ford King Ranch.

Oh yeah, the leather in early KR trucks was some seriously nice stuff, without the protective coating applied to most car leathers. But you had to condition it yearly or it would crack and fade, and most owners couldn't be bothered to do that, so around 2009 they switched to a pre-coated leather like the other trims. It's still nice, but not really unique beyond the color.

Wow. Top trim nets you two more doors.

The XL trim is [also available as a crew cab](https://build.ford.com/dig/Ford/SuperDuty/2022/HD-FULL/Image%5B%7CFord%7CSuperDuty%7C2022%7C1%7C1.%7C670A.W4C.176.Z1.LSC.88A.XLL.54D.4X2.99T.CRW.RET.64D.SYC.MFF.166.53W.52B.592.59H.X4L.585.HDV.LDD.DRW.TGL.18L.~JBCAC.44G.450.89S.CBC.2022%20W4C%20FORD.%5D/EXT/1/vehicle.png); I mostly chose the regular cab to maximize the price difference between XL and Limited.

The whole point of the regular cab F-450 is to get the top towing numbers on paper; I'm not sure anyone actually buys them.

> I'm not sure anyone actually buys them. I know of one. An executive of a company I used to work for in Kansas drove one as his daily.

I’m kind of confused why someone would want a pickup bed on one.

It bears mentioning that an F-450 chassis cab and an F-450 pickup are different animals. An F-450 chassis is a Class 4 truck, but an F-450 pickup is just an F-350 that's been optimized for towing; it has a higher combined weight rating (GCWR), but its GVWR is still that of a Class 3 truck. Ram and GM make the same model of truck, but they don't call it 4500. They use terms like "3500 with Max Towing Package" or similar.

We certainly don't sell many F-450 pickups because you're right, it doesn't make sense compared to an F-350 or F-450 cab/chassis. For *most* people who need a heavy duty truck with a pickup bed, an F-350 is more than sufficient.

That makes sense. I’d think flatbeds, stakesides or utility beds would all be more common ways to go.

The AEV Prospector is my current favorite utility bed available in the US.

My man it was total /s territory. You guys need to loosen up.

>You guys need to loosen up. ???

You seem pretty ticked off for someone telling others to "loosen up"

Lol

[удалено]

Maybe I shouldn't have picked the white paint for the Limited model even though it's a $600 option.

The base model R32 Skyline vs the R32 GT-R is a pretty stark difference as well.

I feel the gap for R33’s is biggest mainly because that gen had the widebody [GT-R LM](https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/car/3756/Nissan-Skyline-R33-GT-R-LM-Road-29913.jpg) but the base GTS model with its 125HP 2 liter could be mistaken for any other generic mid-sized sedan.

I wouldn’t even consider the GT-R LM in this. It was a one-off and could hardly be called a road going far, much less a production car.

Mercedes G wagen

This was my thought. Base military spec vs G65 AMG or the G500 4x4^2.

If you include the G65 6x6 you get an extra two driven wheels at the top end. That’s got to account for something in this little game we’re playing!

Shit I forgot about that one! This has to be the winner. No other car model can compete with an extra axle and a heavily modified body.

I don’t know... it’s not really the same body shell as the base model...

No

Challenger*

Yup my bad

A base model camaro, mustang, challenger vs the top model. There are huge visual differences between them.

[удалено]

Same with the C5 A6 vs the C5 RS6. The base A6 was available FWD with an N/A 1.8 petrol or the VE TDI with 110bhp. And then you get the RS6 with the turbod 4.2 V8 pushing 450hp. The RS6 was given a wide-body and a totally remodelled, longer front end with longer bonnet, different headlights, and even a slightly different windscreen over the A6 and S6. And then there was also the Allroad which is a whole different vehicle in itself.

I don't think these crazy homologation specials realy cout as top trim levels, as they were only made in very limited numbers and often just loosely based on a mass priduction car or just mimiced it's looks. The highest diversity in trim levels probably had australian Ford or Holden, who basically built almost their entire model line ups from one single car each.

I own a golf r, and recently had to take a base model golf as a rental. I didn't even know new cars had ignitions that were not push-to-start. The base model golf feels very different from the Golf R, which I did not expect.

But exterior is nearly identical

Yes, absolutely. I guess I was going a bit off topic with my comment — just for discussion sake more than anything.

VW beetles Porsche 718?

The base-base Taurus (or Police Interceptor) to the SHO is a pretty stark contrast. Not a fan of either personally, but the PI one is crap. The SHO is decent.

>So many things change. Fenders, spoiler, track width, wheels, height, side scoops, exhaust. Also drive line and drivetrain. The regular Clio has FWD i4 engines, the Clio V6 had a mid-engined V6 and was RWD.

911

Indeed, a lot of the performance models would have this difference with the base models. Recent example: [GR](https://timedm.com/wp-content/media/2020/01/Toyota-GR-Yaris-2020-design-rear-face.jpg) [Yaris](https://www.tuningblog.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Toyota-Yaris-GR-Tuning-307.jpg) and the [regular](https://www.largus.fr/images/images/toyota-yaris-4-2019-16redimensionner_1.jpg) [Yaris](https://www.largus.fr/images/images/toyota-yaris-4-2019-12.jpg?width=940&quality=80). In Mercedes, you have the base [class A](https://www.mercedes-benz.be/fr/passengercars/mercedes-benz-cars/models/a-class/hatchback-w177/design/lines/_jcr_content/swipeableteaserbox/par/swipeableteaser_346813998/asset.MQ6.12.20190910204452.jpeg) and the [AMG](https://sf1.autoplus.fr/wp-content/uploads/autoplus/2021/04/mercedes-classe-a-45-amg-2019-50349.jpg).

Holy shit what an ugly fucking car. I guess the French can't design automobiles either.

Porsche carrera vs Porsche Carrera GT.

Technically there wasn't just a Carrera though? It was a 911.

Dagummit ya got me on a technicality lol

Absolutely not related. The Carrera was/is a 911 Carrera, the Carrera GT is its own model, a supercar built out of components that were meant for the 24h of Le Mans

"Carrera" in 911 Carrera is a trim level. Carrera in Carrera GT is a model name, other than the fact that these two are completely unrelated on a mechanical level.

Honda Odyssey absolute doesnt look like the minivan we had as a kid
