Also I bet you didn't know that Skoda had it's own Group-B program going on.

It started life as a 280Z. There was a Jalopnik article on it a few years back but all of the text seems to have mysteriously disappeared.

It's like build in some private garage in rural part of the world :). A whole new perspective for wide body! :D

It looks a lot more like a 280ZX, judging from the rear end (the taillights are most definitely not those of an S30 280Z but those of a S130 280ZX).

The taillights tricked me into thinking it was a Sonett. Thought they looked like Saab 900 lights and then proceeded to think that swapping those into anything else than other Saab wouldn't make sense.

Derp. Yup, you're definitely right.

Ford Escort RS 1700T

Talbot Horizon Group B

Does this count then?

Any statistics on how often the Lada fell apart during testing?

I'd imagine that when the picture was taken was the only time when it was on one piece.

The cars those are modeled after definitely are.

What comes to grachan style I'm not sure whether I like it or not. On the other hand they can look good but on the other hand they can be very tacky when done wrong and I'd like to see them carry more performance upgrades to live up to their looks.
