That is awesome, might be one of the coolest cars I have seen in a long time. I wonder what it would cost to make one like it

I usually do the same thing, but I gave it a shot and damn, that video is just great!

He is a national developer based here in Madison. However he had a crate Vanquish engine. Had no idea what to do with it...the Zephyr. The air intakes in the V12 are on the sides and it was too wide to fit. They engineered the air intakes into the front quarters so it actually breathes through the body of the car. It's spectacular.

That is just simply spectacular. I'm a huge fan a classics, but doing one up with a Vanquish engine? That's brilliant!

Haha that is awesome!
