Crown Vic/Marquis based kit car, not for the weak of heart.

[Bowman9]

The first and probably only Crown Vic/Marquis based kit car you will ever see.

OMFG!

.....Is that for real???

It looks like a big Transformer toy....either that, or a Pile of yellow LEGOS!

uke: uke: uke: uke: uke: uke: uke: uke: uke:

I can't believe that they have sold even ONE....

I think that the 'inventor' must have quit his job as a sheetmetal duct worker and stolen the company's metal brake!

Looks like the illegitimate offspring of a VW Thing and a Mustang.

So like...does it do anything like maybe turn into a replica of Optimus Prime?

Hmmm....

I could not have said it better myself.

Total agreement with you on this one!

Should attract the ones who go for Korean brands.

 

[Meteorite]

Yikes!

To the man with only a sheet metal brake ... everything looks like ... a VW Thing body panel?

That is literally the worst automotive body I've ever seen.

Let's get this straight:
Spend 40 hours and $6000 to make a PI lose 700 lbs and morph into a vehicle that makes a Suzuki X-90 look like an automotive work of art?

Let's do some math:
3400lbs/210 hp = 16.2 lbs/hp
4100 lbs @ 16.2 lbs/hp = 253 hp
You could get that extra 40 hp with just a cold-air and a tune. . .and keep the $6700 and natural good looks of the PI. Are these guys on crack, or is this just a big practical joke?

You've got to go to their website and check it out!

There are several of these sheetmetal abortions!

The pictures are hysterical, except for the loss of a couple of poor CVs.

Go to "Contact Us" and look at the production facility.....YEP! Their main machine is: TA-DAH!!!...a metal brake!

Gee, thanks guys. I just ate! :laugh:

 

[Mebot]

It looks like the type of blocky vehicles I used to make with my Lego Technics back in the day.

 

[Joe Walsh]

Photoshop!!!

I only wish that it was a photoshop...but that thing actually exists.

That guy was toking on a BIG crack pipe when he conceived that kit car!

 

[Meteorite]

On the Compare page, where they stack up their creation versus a Lamborghini, a Viper, etc., the Coefficient of Drag is conspicuous in its absence!

 

[merc]

Now if the car had this interior it would be a hit with the urban crowd.

Yeah well I was hoping photoshop cause I wouldn't think anyone in their right mind would make an abonimation like that....:nono:

Quote from October 3rd of the build log...

We took the KCI outside for the first time today. It looks good even in the foamcore mockup stage. All the components are starting to melt together into a complete design.
