Hatsune Miku BMW mascotifies a classic

 Everyone on the planet knows how crazy the Japanese are for mascots and all things cute and anime/manga. However, there are times when this craze for fictional animated characters ruins gems that us in the rest of the world hold dear. The Hatsune Miku version of the BMW Z4 GT3 created by TeamUKYO in collaboration with GSR & Studie is one such nerdy custom job that makes us cringe with pain every time we look at it.


Even though we are more than glad the customizers didn’t actually bestow a bunch of mythical abilities to the car using gadgetry we can only find in Japan, we are actually quite mortified to find the classic car covered in a full body paint that features a bunch of vocaloid symbols and images.

The nerdy vehicle is rightfully called “Itasha” which is a Japanese word that roughly and rightfully translates into “pain mobile”. Even though the description is a warning enough for anyone susceptible to seizures to stay away from this monstrosity, the Tokyo BMW Group Studio has given it the go ahead and the vehicle will in fact participate in the 2012 edition of the GT300.

The BMW Group Studio will display the Hatsune Miku BMW at their Tokyo-based showroom till December 13 though the makers of this thing intend on making it commercially available to interested customers. No word on pricing and availability for the vehicle has been provided at the moment by the makers of this outrageous vehicle.

The company has also not provided any information on whether customers would be able to order vehicles with additional images, slogan and mascot paint or not though if you are passionate enough about it you may be able to get a few of your favorite vocaloid imagery on there as well.
