Nope that RS200 looks very "kit-car." Sure it looks cool while on the road but fails close up inspection. The Facebook pictures show the awful fit/finish on the doors and roof.

Have you ever seen a real RS200? They don't exactly have a production car finish either.

Stratos. Possibly also a kit car.

The car on the left is a Lancia Stratos. Of course, it's European only, and they do make kit cars now. I would believe that the one pictured is a kit car. I believe that they use a Toyota engine and transaxle in a mid-engine layout for excellent reliability and parts availability.

The Stratos is one of my choices for a kit car.

A Lancia Stratos, or a replica of one.

Lancia Stratos.

EDIT...sniped by everyone...

I am a huge fan of the RS200, and I would give a kidney for a real one. Of the two replicas(?) pictured, I'd take the Stratos.

You won't find one of those on Craigslist. Try Barret Jackson.

Top Gear U.K. had a funny review of the HAWK. (Stratos replica) It held together about as well as you'd think---- for a kit put together in a tiny garage by blind folks with no hands. I recall Clarkson not being willing to test it's top speed for fear it would burst into flames, or kill him.

If I'm buying a kit-- it would be a Beck Spyder-- and I'd put Beck, or VW emblems on the nose, leaving no doubt that no, it was not "real". I'd tire quickly of answering the same question over and over, and over.

Hawk makes the Stratos kit.

I yearn for the day when I have room/time/$$$ to build an Alfa 3.0l powered Stratos in my garage. The lap they did with one on Top-Gear was absolutely classic
