From what I heard, they have a partnership with a resto shop that does full rotisserie resto mods. From looking at the car, it's less extensive than Singer. The chassis looked to be an original long hood car (>1974) with custom everything. The motor was carborated but I think had hydraulic tensioners (from later motors: maybe 3.2 liter), so it was probably a new/old hybrid motor.

Looks like they fucked up to me.

The tires and wheels are all wrong on that car IMO.

Been reading and listening to a lot of old school 911 "experts" lately and according to almost all of them, the fastest way to make an old 911 sketchy is to start going too wide with the tires, or moving up from the OEM diameter wheels. Apparently the best handling 911 in the world will go to shit in a hurry if you put 17" wheels on it, or if you have too much width.

In any case, to me it just looks wrong, even if it was engineered to handle well like that.

Love those 208's. This might be a contender if I get my car in Turkey or the 308.

Rented a 208 in Greece a few years ago. It was a :notbad: little diesel.

I thought you guys would appreciate this ugly fuckin piece of awesomeness that I stumbled across at Cars and Coffee Saturday.

It's a longitudinal 1.8T FWD engine/trans setup out of B5 with a big turbo rear mounted in a tube chassis on air suspension. This thing has to go like hell! I love the roof scoop force feeding the intercooler. Such a badass little car.
