That 2CV thing has been around for years, maybe as many as ten.

Nice piece of art deco.

You're right it's a sculpture by a guy called Denis Bonnel. Doesn't actually drive. Shame.

Keeping it French. Citroen DS with Corvette LS1 engine. I should love it but since reading the DS gave up it's chassis and suspension I'm not so sure. I do love the idea of it though!

I love the idea of a "sleeper" DS , but my god they have really slaughtered a design classic there.
The interior has gone from classic classy quirky French to bland jelly mould glass-fibre.
The wheels again have gone from understated style to gangsta wannabe chrome.
I do rather like the colour though

Why is that dash such a huge blob? It does not seem to contain anything at all.

They've moved the firewall back and the dash covers the transmission is my guess

[k-ink]

That would centainly explain a small portion of the cabin intrusion. I suspect they got a little carried away though. Aside from the large dash I think it looks great.

You really can put an LS in anything these days

Looks fun. Those US market marker lights on the front wings are really crap though.

[Otter Smacker]

Wow!

Looks stunning, except for the wheels - they are way oversized they just look wrong on a Muscle Car.

[k-ink]

Holy cow

[SystemParanoia]

needs more profile on the rear tyres

Maybe a little smaller - but then I also think it's a little too low as well.... but that's just nit-picking, I'd have that in a heartbeat!

[SystemParanoia]

Edit:
