Despite the fact It's not my cup of tea, I like that things like this exist and people have the vision and skill to make them. I really enjoy watching Kindig Customs, the quality of their work looks outstanding despite the fact I don't always entirely like the finished article. This kind of fits into that catergory for me. Interesting.
After the teasing they've been doing for over a year now, the end product is pretty disappointing. Especially the front end?! sideprofile is quite nice and I love the interior. Apart from the daft squashed carbon fibre...
As a designer I very much like custom car (or boat, or whatever) building and applaud any effort. It's a pity that in our country regulations are so tight that it is almost impossible to build any motorized vehicle that is to be allowed on public roads. In this case, to my taste, the wheels spoil it. The tyres are too skinny, completely takes away the racing heritage of the design and makes it look like some Japanese, over-the-top, tuning effort. Not enough 550, not enough breadvan either. A set of semi-classic knock-offs with fatter tyres might transform the looks, though. Something like this perhaps? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wheels look good, but so too does the rest of the car. This would be a nice project to base on a damaged Maranello like Darius' old 550 for example, a lot more attractive than the breadvan design IMO.
Well said. But. For me it doesn’t show the elegance of a regular 550 neither the refinement (...as design) of the original Breadvan...
