    I'll try and translate it for you guys;

    It seems to be a remake of 'The golden car' from the movie Toby Dammit (part of Spirits of the Dead)
    The original car was based on a 330LMB (with a 4 litre V12) which was rebodied by Fiorenzo Fantuzzi (chassis #4381GT)

    Some pics of the original car.

    That is so interesting !!

    Where and when was this car presented ?
    And is it a real car or for the moment just a resin model ?

    Thank you for this thread !

    compared to the old one, the new one sits way too high over the wheels.

    Hah, I just heard about this from TCL, funny comments there regarding Wal-Mart, cannot seem to keep on topic there, that's why I love it :D

    http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4406590

    I really think it would look good in a different color.

    An interesting mix of old and new. 1 off cars need to be promoted more as in the past. The old idea seems to be gaining more attention.
