Modern mechanics in vintage style: the best restomod rides

"Restomodding" has been around since motorists have been upgrading their cars. The term "restomod" is just a combination of restoration and modification, and the idea is simple, to keep the vintage style and aesthetic of an old car and change it to make it faster, more reliable and safer.

Most old cars are not fast and unreliable, turn and stop badly, and they are definitely not very safe. Taking a classic car and refinishing it with a restomod will transform your experience and bring you the best of modern technology. Classic style and modern performance. Here are the coolest, most stylish and downright wicked redesigned cars of the last few years.

Which one is your favorite?

Series ICON 4X4 BR

ICON 4×4 from Los Angeles, California is the epitome of the modern restomod scene. Specializing in vintage SUVs from Toyota and Ford, their philosophy is to reimagine every vehicle as if it were built today with the best of technology and design.

The ICON BR series starts with the classic Ford Bronco and is stripped down to the last nut and bolt. They are rebuilt with a brand new 5.0 horsepower 426-liter Ford engine, custom axles and differentials, off-road suspension with Fox Racing shocks and StopTech brakes. No less attention is paid to the interior with a complete individual restructuring. Of course, every vehicle is unique and made for the lucky person who orders it.

Alphaholics GTA-R 290

British workshop Alfaholics restores classic Alfa Romeos with modern hearts without losing any of the beauty or heritage of the car they started with. GTA-R 290 is their best Alfa Romeo. Starting from the beautiful and powerful classic Giulia GTA, the car is completely redesigned and equipped with a modern Alfa Romeo 2.3-liter bypass engine with 240 horsepower. That's a lot for a car that only weighs 1800 pounds.

Upgraded suspension, brakes and powertrain components ensure that the mighty red racing car can handle the extra power and the interior is tastefully updated without giving up on classic Italian styling.

Legacy Power Van

Legacy Classic Trucks makes some of the most durable off-road trucks on the market. Starting with the classic Dodge Power Wagon, Legacy strips it down to its frame and rebuilds it for added strength, power and style.

A range of engines can be installed from a 3.9-liter Cummins turbodiesel to a supercharged 6.2-liter Chevrolet LSA V8 with 620 horsepower. Special axles and driveshafts help handle the power increase, while long-travel suspension, off-road wheels and tires, and locking differentials ensure you can use that power on any terrain.

Our next one is a mixture of MGB and Mazda!

Frontline Developments MG LE50

Classic MGB + modern Mazda transmission = cool! Frontline Developments is a British workshop specializing in the manufacture and restoration of classic British sports cars, in particular MG cars.

The hardtop MGB first debuted in 1962. It was an instant classic with bodywork designed by Pininfarina. The Frontline keeps the entire bodywork relatively stock and equips it with a modern and extremely reliable engine, transmission and transmission from Mazda. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 214 horsepower. That's enough to propel the coupe to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds.

Ringbrothers AMC Javelin Defiant

The small town of Spring Green, Wisconsin is home to one of the nation's largest custom car dealerships, Ringbrothers. Their mission is to take iconic muscle cars and remake them for the 21st century while retaining the soul of the original car.

In 2017, Prestone antifreeze company celebrated its 90th anniversary. To mark the occasion, Prestone teamed up with Ringbrothers to create a restomod monster, a Hellcat-powered 1972 AMC Javelin called the "Defiant".

Mechatronics Mercedes-Benz M-Coupe

Mechatronik is based in Stuttgart, Germany, where Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are also located. Fitting as the Mechatronic M-Coupe is a modernized and restored Mercedes-Benz W111.

The company is full of love for its creations, and M-Coupe's attention to detail is truly stunning. The cars start with a complete restoration and then are equipped with a modern Mercedes V8 transmission. The engine is a 5.5-liter AMG V8 with 360 horsepower. The brakes are beefed up, as is the suspension, and the Mechatronic also comprehensively upgrades safety, adding ABS and stability control.

Ahead Porsche gets restomod!

Singer 911 DLS

Singer is to the Porsche 911 what Rolex is to a watch. The cars that the Southern California company produces are more than just modernized 911s, they are real works of art. The pinnacle of the Singer's abilities is in the lust-worthy 911 DLS. It is difficult to adequately describe this car, so let the characteristics speak for themselves.

Singer starts from a 1990-era 911 and redesigns it to look like a 911 from the 1970s. On the DLS, this body is made entirely of carbon fiber. Singer then makes it as light, as drivable as possible, and as braking as possible, before fitting it with a 4.0-hp 500-litre flat-six engine developed by partner Williams Advanced Engineering. Yes, the same company that makes F1 cars. We are not sure if it will be better than this!

Eagle Speedster

Did you know that there are 118 words in English that are synonymous with the word "beautiful"? This may not be enough to describe the stunning masterpiece that is the Eagle Speedster. The English restoration shop Eagle was founded in 1984 and is now synonymous with the Jaguar E-Type. Their restoration work is world-class, but it's their restomod cars that get the most attention.

Eagle starts with a bare chassis and cleans up the E-Type lines before removing bumpers and unwanted chrome. They then install a 4.7 horsepower 330-liter inline-six engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The performance matches the good looks, and the Eagle Speedster is as breathtaking to drive as it is to look at.

FJ Toyota Land Cruiser

If you like classic SUVs, then pay attention to FJ. They build some of the coolest Toyota Land Cruiser restomods on the planet. From hardtop or softtop FJ Series trucks, bodies are stripped down to bare metal and then meticulously reassembled using new Toyota technology.

Power comes from Toyota's all-new 4.0-liter V6 engine, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. FJ then equips every truck with ABS, stability and traction control, automatic locking hubs, and state-of-the-art steering and suspension. Inside, you'll find a bespoke interior with digital instrumentation, custom upholstery and modern conveniences, including a great stereo system! These are trucks that look great, can go anywhere, and are built from brand new parts.

Our next restomod is much more powerful than it looks!

Cars Amos Delta Integrale Futurist

Cars become "cult" for various reasons. They may be pioneers of technology, performance, style, or perhaps their origin stories are shrouded in intrigue and drama. Some cars have become iconic because of their competition history and the famous drivers who drove them. The Lancia Delta Integrale is one of those cars, the turbocharged all-wheel drive hatchback that ruled the world of rally racing in the 1980s and 1990s.

Automobili Amos has taken the Integrale and refined it to its purest form, bringing performance to the level of today's supercars. The Integrale Futurista converts from a four-door to a two-door coupe, much like the Group B rally car of the 1980s, and is powered by a 330 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The bodywork is carbon fiber, the interior is re-trimmed in leather, and the driving experience is mind-blowing.

Porsche 959SC couch

Driving a vehicle as iconic, historic and revered as the Porsche 959 is not for the faint of heart. Do it wrong and you'll be known as the store that ruined an icon, but if you do it right, you'll be the hero who brought one of the greatest cars ever made by Porsche into the 21st century.

California-based Canepa Design is one of the few workshops in the world capable of converting a Porsche 959. Their craftsmanship allows them to retain the soul and ground-breaking technology of an 80s icon, completely redesigning the powertrain, performance and personality of each vehicle. The result is a 1980bhp restomog supercar from the 800s that is fully in line with today's cars.

Honda S800 Outlaw

The SEMA Show is a great place to learn about vehicle customization trends, automotive aftermarket technology, and see some of the coolest custom cars and trucks on the road. At the 2019 SEMA show at Honda, one of the coolest restomods we've ever seen was unveiled.

This is a 1968 Honda S800 named Outlaw and is the brainchild of actor, director and car enthusiast Daniel Wu. The Outlaw is lowered by two inches thanks to fender flares with original OEM wheels. A special exhaust allows the 791cc inline-four engine to "breathe" all the way to the red mark of 10,000 rpm. The 800 Outlaw is an incredibly well-done take on modern customization and personalization with timeless vintage style.

ares panther

The De Tomaso Pantera is a legendary Italian-American sports car from the 1970s. A sleek, wedge-shaped design that made great use of the large Ford V8 engine. Today, Modena, Italy-based Ares Design is recreating the Pantera with a modern vehicle that replicates its styling and wedge shape, but uses fully modern components.

The starting point is the Lamborghini Huracan. The big 5.2-liter V10 and all-wheel drive system are tuned for 650 horsepower. This is enough to give Ares a top speed of 202 mph. The original Lamborghini bodywork has been replaced with an upgraded carbon fiber bodywork that brings the classic Pantera shape of the 70s into the 21st century. Restoring a current car is becoming a very popular trend.

Next comes a car that starts out as a Jaguar and then becomes something completely different!

David Brown Speedback GT

David Brown Automotive is the inspiration behind the beautiful Speedback GT. This is a modern take on the classic Aston Martin DB5. Starting with the old Jaguar XKR, the David Brown Automotive team squeezed an extra 100 horsepower out of the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, giving it a total of 601 horsepower.

The powerful mill is wrapped in custom bodywork that recalls the classic lines of the Aston Martin DB5. We remember this car as the only real mode of transport for James Bond. While you don't get any Bond gadgets, you do get a custom interior crafted with stunning attention to detail. This is a restomod for wealthy gentlemen who are looking for a car more individual than Rolls-Royce.

Porsche 935 (2019)

"Restomod" is probably not the best label for this machine. It's more like a retro tribute to one of Porsche's most famous and successful racing cars, but because of the vintage bodywork and vintage paintwork, we think it still fits the spirit of the restomod.

Porsche starts with the outrageous 911 GT2 RS and builds a custom stretched body around it that pays homage to the legendary 935/78 Le Mans race car known as "Moby Dick". A powerful 700 horsepower motivates the 935, while big fenders, big slicks and big turbos make it the best car on the race track. Calling the 935 "mega" is an understatement of the year.

Needle with low drag GT

In 1962, Jaguar created the rarest and arguably most significant E-Type, a low-drag coupe. It was originally conceived as an ultra-aerodynamic racing version of the E-Type. Jaguar produced only 1 car. The low drag coupe continued to be raced in private hands in the early 1960s and influenced the subsequent Jaguar Lightweight E-Type, of which the company produced 12.

Today, the original Low Drag Coupe is in a private collection and is probably one of the most valuable Jaguars ever made, but if you like the original car restomod then the UK-based Eagle is more than happy to make it. help. Stunning to look at and equally stunning to handle, the Eagle Low Drag GT could be the ultimate E-Type restomod.

Shelby Cobra Continuation series

There is no other car that is reproduced and replicated as widely as the Shelby Cobra. If you are looking for a cheap kit car, there are many companies that can accommodate it with varying degrees of quality. However, if you're looking for the best of the best and faithful recreations of the original cars with modern systems, then there's only one place - Shelby American.

Available in a variety of specifications, you can get it as it was built in the 1960s or with a modern carbon fiber body and engines. All eyes may be on the 427 S/C, but we think the 289 FIA Competition cars are the way to go. Designed specifically for racing, they showed the world what American designers are capable of and glorified Shelby American.

Next up is the classic Dodge!

Dodge Charger Hellefant

In 2018, Dodge showed up at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas with a 1968 Charger. There is nothing unique about this, the classic Dodge Chargers have been upgraded over the years, but the car that Dodge brought was equipped not with an engine, but with a nuclear bomb!

The 1968 Dodge Charger Hellephant is the platform to showcase Dodge's biggest and coolest engine, the 1,000-horsepower supercharged 426 HEMI V8 dubbed the Hellephant. It is based on the same engine as the Hellcat vehicles and offers builders, tuners and tuners 1,000 turnkey horsepower.

ICON 4X4 Abandoned Series

When it comes to possible candidates for a restomod, few people would consider a classic Rolls-Royce. But leave the people at ICON 4X4 free to think outside the box with their "Derelict" series of restomods. The 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud spotted by ICON is a classic British luxury cruiser.

Not content with restoring its former glory, ICON ditched the factory Rolls-Royce and installed a new 7 horsepower LS8 V550. They then outfitted the Roller with state-of-the-art Brembo brakes and suspension. Up front is a fully independent setup with coilovers, and in the back is a custom four-link setup with coilovers. Even with the original patina the car has earned over the years, it has presence, class and is a truly unique restomod.

John Sargsyan Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

Some cars are so iconic and important in the evolution of the car that it would be almost sacrilegious to even consider changing the original design. One such car is the Mercedes-Benz 300SL "Gullwing". A car built in the 1950s for racing and considered one of the most important cars ever made. Modifying one of them would probably destroy the value of a multi-million dollar collectible car.

Fear not, the 300SL Gullwing pictured above is a replica. A way to restomod an original Mercedes supercar without violating the value of the original. Builder John Sarkissian started with the SLK 32 AMG and scanned the original 300SL in 3D to create an exact replica of the bodywork. The SLK's chassis and drivetrain provide power, while the replica body provides style.

Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna 775

At SEMA 2018, Chevrolet chose the sinister 1973 Chevelle Laguna to showcase its latest and greatest boxed engine. It's a powerful LT5 V8, the same 755 horsepower that propels the C7 Corvette ZR1 to a top speed of 210 mph.

As for the '73 Chevelle, it has lower suspension, bigger brakes and NASCAR-style wheels. A front lower splitter and rear spoiler complete the NASCAR vibe. Chevrolet's take on the Chevelle Laguna redesign combines old-school NASCAR with a modern supercharged engine.

Thornley Kelham Lancia Aurelia B20GT

Thornley Kelhman is one of the most respected restoration shops in the UK. A place where ultra-rare, ultra-expensive and ultra-gorgeous vintage cars are painstakingly restored to hallway condition. Sometimes it's possible to take a classic car and turn it into something truly spectacular. Such is the case with the Lancia Aurelia B20GT Outlaw. Modeled after the most famous Aurelia, the Govanni Bracco, which finished second in the Mille Miglia and won its class at Le Mans in 1951.

Thornley Kelman upgrades the suspension and brakes to modern performance and replaces the engine with a 2.8-liter Lancia V6 with 175 horsepower. Inside, the car is fitted with Porsche 356 bucket seats and a roll bar. Cool, cool and definitely one of the most unique restomods of recent times.

Gunther Werks 400R

The 993 generation of the ever-popular Porsche 911 was the last series to feature an air-cooled engine. Produced from 1995 to 1998, these are the latest and most advanced air-cooled 911 models.

Gunther Werks starts with a clean 993 and changes, mods and improves every detail to make it better, faster and more focused than the original car. Engine displacement has been increased to 4.0 liters, giving a healthy 400 horsepower. The body is completely made of carbon fiber and mounted on an extended chassis with custom suspension and massive Brembo brakes. The wheels are custom made from three piece forged aluminum designed by Gunther Werks.

Ringbrothers 1965 Ford Mustang «Espionage»

Few cars have been restomoded over the years more than the Ford Mustang. Classic lines and an easily customizable platform, as well as unrivaled after-sales support, mean that anyone can build, modify and personalize their Stang.

There are so many converted Mustangs out there that it's easy to brush them off with a "seen it all before" attitude. However, sometimes a special car appears that changes the game and makes everyone notice. One such car is a Ringbrothers '65 Mustang called the Spy. Powered by a 959-horsepower supercharged LS7 V8 engine, this car is a brutal masterpiece. The body is all carbon fiber, the wheels are custom made by HRE, and the interior is as stunning as the acceleration.

Kingsley Range Rover Classic

Some cars never go out of style. The classic Land Rover Range Rover is one such vehicle. Built from 1970 to 1994, the large Range Rover was not only luxurious, but also incredibly capable of off-roading. An engineering marvel, the truck failed due to assembly and quality control issues. Kingsley, the British Land Rover restoration firm, has stepped up to bring the timeless truck into the 21st century.

The V8 is bored out to 4.8 liters, giving it a burly 270 horsepower. The suspension has been updated and upgraded, the biggest change is in the track width. The brakes are new, the interior and electrics are also carefully redesigned. The result is a classic truck with a modern feel and driving experience that is sure to remain one of the most beautiful SUVs for generations to come.

David Brown Mini

The original MINI is one of those cars that everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime. The tiny pocket rocket rides like nothing else, handles like nothing else and, despite its diminutive size, is capable of bringing you the biggest smile ever. David Brown Automotive is redesigning a classic MINI to make it as good as possible, each completely unique to the customer who orders it.

1275 cc engine The CM is tuned to double the original power, and the suspension and brakes have been upgraded for extra speed. The body is cleaned by seam removal, and the entire car is strengthened and welded for extra strength. The interior is infinitely customizable, and the team at David Brown Automotive creates each MINI to suit the taste and preference of the customer who orders it.

Fusion Motor Company Eleonora

Movie buffs and motorists know this car as "Eleanor" from 60 seconds have passed, a 2000 remake starring Nicolas Cage and known to the rest of the world as the 1967 Ford Shelby GT500. Fusion Motor holds the license to make replicas of the movie's star car, and the customization options are virtually endless.

All Eleanor builds start with genuine 1967 or 1968 Ford Mustang Fastbacks, then the Fusion fits vehicles with modern engines from the 430 horsepower 5.0-liter V8 to the granddaddy, 427 horsepower supercharged 8 V750. Suspension is special coilovers on all four wheels, and the brakes are massive Wilwood six-piston units. Interior and exterior options abound, but the most important mod is the "Go Baby Go" nitrous oxide button on the shifter.

MZR Roadsport 240Z

The Nissan/Datsun 240Z is the pinnacle of car design and sports car design in general. Nissan wanted the car to be the best that Europe could produce. The 240Z was specifically aimed at the MGB-GT and proved to be a huge success and is now a car that collectors and enthusiasts flock to.

In the UK, MZR Roadsports has an affinity and a unique 240Z rating. The MZR is more than just a classic Japanese sports car. MZR sees what the 240Z can be, what it should be and how to turn it into the best driving experience possible. Every inch of the MZR 240Z restomod has been upgraded, restored and refinished to create a modern sports car that looks better than most new cars.

Ferrari Dino David Lee

Restoring a classic Ferrari is a great way to upset purists and fans alike. But, if you're really good and the build is top notch, this is a great way to create something really unique. David Lee's 1972 Dino GTS '246 is one such vehicle that is both truly unique and a testament to Southern California's automotive culture.

Based on the underrated Dino 246, this particular restomod features one of the most interesting engine swaps we've ever heard. Behind the driver is a Ferrari F40 engine. The 2.9-liter V8 was bored out to 3.6 liters and stripped of the twin-turbo setup. The result is a symphony of sound from a 400-horsepower naturally aspirated V8 that revs above 7,000 rpm. As you would expect, the chassis, brakes and suspension have been upgraded to match the new pace.

Modified Ferrari F355 by Jeff Segal

Sometimes a great restomod car doesn't need a complete rethink. It doesn't need a million horsepower and it doesn't need space age technology. It becomes great because of the experience it gives, and the modifications help create an event that cannot be replicated in other cars. Jeff Segal's restomoded Ferrari F355 Modificata is a car where changes and upgrades create a driving experience unlike any other car on the road.

The F355 Modificata has 355 Challenge race car suspension, a straight pipe racing exhaust and 375 horsepower. The interior mimics the legendary F40 and the entire car is tuned to deliver the best driving experience on the road.

Volvo Amazon Estate by Guy Martin

Guy Martin is a legendary motorcycle racer. He's a guy who knows how to drive fast, and his restored 1967 Volvo Amazon Estate may be the fastest, most premium Volvo on the planet. The sensible and very Swedish station wagon has a 2.8-liter turbocharged inline-six that puts out a whopping 788 horsepower. That's enough to accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds and reach a top speed of over 205 mph.

The brakes are taken from a Koenigsegg CC8S hypercar, two rear doors had to be removed from the body to make it a three-door station wagon, and it has a glass floor in the back so you can see the differential and axles.

Bavarian Workshop BMW 2002

2002 was one of the cars that helped establish BMW's reputation in the US as a performance car manufacturer. The lightweight rear wheel drive coupe was fun to drive, fast enough for its time and looked great.

The Bavarian Workshop team began by upgrading the suspension and brakes of the Bavarian coupe. They add fender flares, a front splitter and 16-inch wheels. The interior uses BMW 320i seats, leather trim and other touches, but what makes this car truly special is what's under the clamshell hood. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine known to Bimmer fans as the S14 and familiar to most gearboxes as the factory from the legendary BMW E30 M3.

Redux E30 M3

Few cars from the late 1980s and early 1990s have the status and cache of the first BMW M3, the E30 M3. It was a top notch canyon carver that went on to become one of the most successful racing cars of all time.

British firm Redux takes the best of the E30 M3 and builds a bespoke high-performance car that can handle much more modern machines. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is bored out to 2.5 liters and equipped with a turbocharger. The new engine puts out 390 horsepower and is driven through a 6-speed manual transmission with a self-locking rear differential. The brakes are massive AP Racing blocks, the bodywork is carbon fiber, and the interior is tailor-made for each owner.

Ian Callum Aston-Martin Vanquish

The Aston Martin Vanquish is only 12 years old, so creating a restomod with it might seem a little premature, but if anyone can take on the task, it has to be Ian Callum, Vanquish's original designer.

Callum Designs started out by turning the Vanquish into a world-class GT car for today's drivers. The V12 engine has been tuned for over 600 horsepower, and the suspension and brakes have also been tuned to current specs. The interior is completely bespoke and makes extensive use of carbon fibre, leather and other high quality finishes. This is not a car to race on the race track, this is a modern interpretation of the legendary long-distance GT. Concord for the road.

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Cont

The Ford Mustang Boss 429 is one of the most sought-after muscle cars in the era of big engines, big power and high performance. The car was originally put into production in 1969 and 1970 to allow Ford to homologate the 429 cubic inch V8 engine for NASCAR use.

Today, the iconic muscle car is being rebuilt under license from Ford by Classic Recreations. Their Boss 429 is as close to the real thing as possible on the outside, but under the skin you'll find adjustable suspension, massive brakes, a stainless steel exhaust and a custom interior. The engine is a real beast, a 546 cubic-inch monster that puts out 815 horsepower. No turbines, no supercharger, it's all motor.

Jaguar Classic XJ6

Jaguar celebrated 2018 years of the XJ series in 50. To commemorate this milestone, they redesigned a 1984 XJ6 for Iron Maiden drummer Nico McBrain. The car is known as the XJ's "Greatest Hit" and includes design and customization elements from all 50 years of XJ production.

The classic British sedan features flared fenders and 18-inch wire-spoke wheels, state-of-the-art suspension with adjustable dampers, state-of-the-art electronics including Jaguar's state-of-the-art touchscreen, sat-nav and rear-view camera, and a completely custom interior. The XJ was also re-tuned to use LED headlights with "Halo" style running lights and a 4.2-liter inline-six, inhaled through three SU carburetors and exhaled through a fully custom exhaust system.

East Coast Defenders Land Rover Defender 110

East Coast Defenders was founded in 2013 to build the world's finest classic Land Rover vehicles. The Defender 110 project, known as "NEO", is one of their finest creations. A custom wide-body Land Rover with state-of-the-art drivetrain, state-of-the-art technology, state-of-the-art off-road gear and premium finishes to get you where you want to go in style and comfort.

The NEO is equipped with an 565 horsepower LS3 V8 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The suspension is raised 2 inches and uses Fox Racing shocks and heavy duty off-road bushings. The spartan interior is replaced with leather, carbon fiber and a state-of-the-art infotainment system.

RMD 1958 Chevrolet Impala

Fins, rockets and chrome helped define American car design in the 1950s. The 1958 Chevrolet Impala brought all of these design elements together in a car that stood out in style on the road. RMD Garage took the classic Chevy and kept the timeless retro look but completely revamped everything under the chrome bodywork.

Known as the "Ebony", the classic Impala is powered by an 500 horsepower LS3 V8 engine painted all black to match the look of the car. The suspension uses special coilovers with an air suspension system to adjust the ride height. The wheels are custom Raceline 22″ alloy wheels and the interior is custom leather that includes a matching set of custom suitcases.

E-Type UK V12 E-Type Jaguar

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and while the focus is on Series 1 and 2 cars, Series 3 cars are often overlooked and are great candidates for restomods. E-Type UK takes the E-Type Series 3 and recycles every nut and bolt to create a classic beauty with modern performance. The V12 is bored out to 6.1 liters and features custom fuel injection, custom ECU and wiring harness.

The suspension is fully adjustable, the brakes are massive AP Racing units, and the interior is custom made based on the newer XJS coupe. Elegant and tasteful, with just enough punch to make it appealing.

40 Maha Mustang

It has no more customization than a Mach 40 Mustang. The Stang is a mix between a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach and a 1 Ford GT supercar. The body of the Mach 2005 is stretched and massaged on a custom chassis that lengthens to accommodate a mid-engined layout. Naturally, such a change requires an incredible amount of fabrication, and the result is both unique and exceptionally well executed.

The engine is taken from the mega Ford GT. A 5.4-liter V8 upgraded with a 4.0-liter supercharger and a custom ECU puts out an incredible 850 horsepower. The interior is retro-inspired, retaining the original Mach 69 1 vibe and adding modern design elements and materials. A wild mess that shouldn't work but does it very well.
