The Hurtan Grand Albaycín is a wacky rebodied MX-5

Rebodied Mazda MX-5s are nothing new. Ever since the first-generation arrived back in 1989 there have been kit cars based on the little front-engined, rear-drive sports car.

Some have been fantastic, some might have missed the mark, but this latest one might just be the most out-there we’ve ever seen. Welcome, Internet, to the Hurtan Grand Albaycín.

Wow. We’re almost lost for words. And not in a good way.

Hurtan is a Spanish company based in Granada and already offers a rebodied Chrysler PT Cruiser and Jeep Wrangler – making both look like a child was asked to trace over a car from the 1930s.

This new Grand Albaycín is more of a 1930s, 50s and 60s mashup though, with plenty of old British sports car cues and some very interesting flowing lines. Both MX-5 engine options are available, which means prospective customers with poor eyesight can choose between a 132bhp 1.5-litre unit or a 184bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder. The smaller of those two only gets a 6spd manual gearbox, whilst the larger latter can be had with an auto or manual.

There's been plenty of interior work too, with new leather and wood for that quintessential sports car feel. Kinda. Prices for Hurtan’s new work will start at €59,000 for the 1.5, with the 2.0-litre a little more at €63,200. How about you lot share your thoughts in the comments below? That seems like a healthy discussion to open up.
