A mini version of the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 has been spotted in China, with images of the bizarre creation shared on Chinese social media site Weibo. While the manufacturer of the vehicle is unknown, it appears to be a blatant rip-off of the original design and has raised questions about its intended purpose.

SUV appears to have been morphed into a miniature version of the Land Cruiser LC300, complete with the same pair of LED headlights and a large grille with silver slats. The rear of the vehicle also features familiar LC300 taillights, a near-identical tailgate, and a fake diffuser with exhaust cutouts. However, the wheels and tires of the replica are much smaller than those of the genuine Land Cruiser.

Despite the vehicle's striking resemblance to the LC300, little is known about its origins. The only visible indication of a manufacturer is the lettering found at the rear of the vehicle, which reads "Kuluze." It is unclear whether Kuluze is a Chinese car manufacturer, or if this is a planned production model, a one-off creation, or a distinct vehicle that has simply been dressed up as a Land Cruiser by an aftermarket firm.

The replica has sparked debate about the appropriateness of creating such a vehicle. The overall shape and design of the LC300 does not appear to be suited to a vehicle of this size, regardless of its intended purpose.
