WTF???

VW powered, also notice the little 53 on the lower front curb side fender.

This thing is awsome!!! I don’t get why people are saying to turn the scoops around, try pissing out the back of a truck going down the road at 60mph, it will not work in your favor. Air will get forced into those scoops without creating drag. Like a cowl induction hood on the old muscle cars, such as th 70 chevelle SS. Now, is that VW powered or Porsche powered?

I want that car so bad or to build something like it. The scoops face that way so they work, They capture ambient air, behing the car. If they faced foward you would need roof or side scoops.

nice dude! but hope nobody bump you from behinde!!!!! the car will look better with a darker color……..

holy crap wheres the rest of the car

Is it just me..or is everyone else seeing the couger front end?? Cool design..looks incomplete..and 2 blower scoops facing the wrong way…eek

haha unlucky if it rains
later shineyness

Looks like a Del Sol frame and partial body. Post us when it’s finished and they turn the blower intakes around the right way

When are they going finish putting the car together, lol. Seriously though, it looks incomplete. Cool concept, but incomplete looking.

thats a sweet kit, i like the engine, it just looks like they straped two giant motorcycle mufflers on it.

I’m sorry, but the only things this appears to be is sad… a sad attempt at using used shark bait for inspirational design

that is one crazy kit. definetly catches the eye, i like the whole engine deal.

looks like 3 kit cars glued together

the engine is pretty neat

Looks like a mental ride….does the 53 sticky signify this is the next Herby?

Looks amazing tbh! Rear lights of a vauxhal vx220, headlights of a ford cougar! Mental

If the rear end was closed off and had a good fast lookin flow i think the car would be unreal lookin, its different and kudos to the person who came up with it

I think its got Gallant Altezzas too.

I like it. Only thing I see is it would have a problem goin over speedbumps.
Looks like thos fart cans have Tornado air managment system things in them. Those could be cougar headlights or Intrepid’s either way the lights are trick, Just wish Herbie’s race number was bigger. I would buy it.

Thing is God-awful ugly lol….but look at the monster out back! You think it’s a modded Mercury Cougar until it blows by you doing mach 1 lol….

Step forward? Try back to the future. The open rear end is reminiscent of the Baja Bugs of the ’70s.

Most of u guy hate it but am sure that in 2030 or later we’ll have some cars like that and you’ll love it because it will be the new fashion frenzy…remember when they launched the BMW 7 series in 2002 everyone was like WTF is this rear end(bangle butt)?? 2 years later Nissan, Toyota, Acura copied it and everyone liked it OR how about the civic? even if it’s design is weird ppl buy it like hot bread (maybe it’s because of it’s reputation…I don’t know). So in summary…everyone who said it’s ugly will like that car in later years(unless u really REALLY hate it). It might look unfinished, but the concept ROCKS! That’s what I call a step forward!

Looks like the back end feel off and they super glued it back on. I like different, but come on, this “thing” looks half done. I wouldn’t be caught dead in it. Just my 2 cents…

i’ve allways wanted a NOVA kit car.

but the backs of them allways looked a bit wrong.

this incarnation on the other hand is crazy enough to to pull it off. i like it. i wouldn’t mind seeing the ‘less radical’ version also.

this thing looks 99% better than some civic with a OTT crappy body kit. (in an attempt to look different) if civic owners want something thats different, then they should build propper KIT CARS, instead of ruining normal road cars. IMO

oh,.. and i like the mirrors. nice.

Who wrecked this car and put pictures of it on here? Haha. I’ve never been a big fan of kit cars, but kudos to those who build’em. I know it takes quite a bit of work to put these together… He could have at least made one that was a bit more tasteful…

There is a great deal of effort to do something here,…I just can’t quite figure it out. I mean really. The Mille Miglia wheels are a super touch to something that makes absolutely no sense what SO ever. Dune Buggy on steroids?

Its quite a unique car… you will never see one of these on the road… someone was creative… and actually built it then just on the computer..

Very creative mind at work here. Dared to be different and not everyone will like it…I like most of it.

Stop hating cause your money aint right to afford something like that or even create it. HIGH HATERS!!!!

three words:

FAN TAS TIC

looks like a car from the speedracer movie

This car belongs to a gentlemen named Steve in the UK. It is based on a Nova kit car, VW chassis and engine (obviously). It is the second incarnation of the car, the first being a little less radical. We invite you to check out our site for more photos at http://www.euro-nova.co.uk

I think it looks good! Something new and different and if i can get something looking like that i’ll take it because it will be one of a kind.

just 2 words, HOLY SHIT

this cars parents got handicapped kid

Looks to be a heavily modified Nova kit car

The engine is backwards

My mom always said, “If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything”. *awkward silence*

Seriously though, the engine would be easy to work on. The car reminds me of the kit cars that you would see thrown on the Pontiac Fiero. Any one have an idea why there are 2 antennas? And I reverberate the earlier comments of erick, why the orange mirrors? I’ve heard of artistic license, but this might be a violation of artistry. I think that rear “bumper” and I use the term loosely is just so they had some place to mount the license plate.

To each their own.

Cougar headlights and Opel Speedster tail lights. I like what I see. Pretty sweet.

NO THOSE ARE WEBER DUAL PORT CARBS!

The thing looks like it fell/is falling apart. LOL But I give credit for ingenuity. Doubt we will see another one like it.

I like it Id sit it in my front yard just to turn heads. But i do have a thing for spoliers and there is no where to put one so thats fucked up

Stop hating guys! Yes, it is different. If you don’t like something, you don’t have to buy it. Ask yourself. If this car was giving to you, would you take it?

A VW rear-ended a Cougar?

are there two fuckin blowers on that motor.

so…is this thing supposed to fly? and i dont understand why there are orange side mirrors..oh and basically if someone rear ends them, they’re fucked ahahha

looks like a mercury cougar and honda del sol gone wrong

What’s that Crap Wrapped around the back tires?
A plastic bag catcher? Looks like disaster waiting to happen to me.

Mattel HotWheel?

am I the only one who noticed the intakes are facing backwards? it must have some craxy kind of aerodynamics to have the air swirl over and around to make it to the intakes efficiently.

It’s one of those things where you have to decided what side of the fence your on…
One hand it’s a great conversation piece and on the other hand Don’t Bring it to my car wash ask’n for the supreme detail package.

Frankly it looks like it was in an accident! Shame the motor is sweet! Too bad it could have been something really special instead of really awful.

i dont mind it but i dont like the body you have put it with but other then that a pretty good idea

At least the engine will stay cool.

Heck, I’d drive it. I agree that the side-view mirrors could use a change, but damn that exhaust is tight.

wtf………….junk

lol – just spotted the subtle ‘53′ on the front – I’m liking it more now.

see the “53″ going for herbie here

The rear shot is reminiscent of Alien.

The motor is breaking its way out of a Pontiac Fiero.

These guys should try to get this thing onto the next Speed Racer movie.

Well I can Identify the base, It started as a Sterling Kit car. Originally it was VW based, with 70s style square headlights as well as square tail lights. THe rear originally covered the engine. the only thing that remains original is the lift up canopy area. very modified, I have to give them credit because either way that is a LOT OF WORK….
I applaud the effort

This is Nova mid section from the 1970’s. Nice front and rear treatment with hint of F1 styling, someone got clever with their pencil, nice to see someone thinking outside the usual BOX.

It needs better side mirrors, and it need to be all black, then batman would be impress.

Those are def. 99-00 Mecury Cougar headlights

]\fpg,;fk;gjerlylrhkthj

Rob is right, the tail lights come from a Vauxhall VX220 which is also the Opel Speedster. Doubt it’s based on the same chassis though!

cougar headlights dont look right….amybe silvia s15 headlights… regardless thats the only thing that i dont quite care for…the rest is like 9 stars out of 5 lol

that is badass

It makes me want to key the Mark V

I am sure that this used to be a nova kitcar based on a vw and im sure the first attempt had pug headlights bit i could be wrong

ugliest thing i have ever seen.

I kinda like it what the coefficent of friction on this car? (what the air resistance)

ewwwwww

Batman, eat you’re heart out….

i think its kinda ugly

all people who claim to “love” this weird crazyness but had negative comments on the challenger pics should be shot! this aint even a real car, its just a project….

definitly a head turner

I think it’s a very intriguing design and it’s definently a vehicle that would make my list of ‘Drive Before I Die’.

this is a very bad attempt to photoshop a car i can see the layers and the poor shadow overlays its nothing more than someones sick imagination let loose i applaude the creativity but i frown on the workmanship

I wouldn’t drive it but I do think it is a car worth appreciating.

It has Opel Speedster tail lights.

the back from the side view is UGLY!! but the motor exposed is clean from the back they should have covered it from the side tho it KILLED the hole car ..

i think it kinda looks like a del sol but maybe an mr2 since the engine is in the back but who knows it might just be a ufo lol

I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!

ITS A FUCKIN SPACE SHIP!

i think it used to be a honda del sol not shure

i think it used to be a honda del sol not shure

looks like a transformer

what the he!! happen to the back? something bite is off?

lost in translation…i can’t think of anything else to describe this. the phrase “to each his own” can only be used as an excuse for so long.

Does look like Cougar Headlights! As for the rest, who the hell knows. Looks like a science experiment gone wrong!

by the way just noticed..whats with the shiny rear wheels(looks like chrome but im not sure) and dull front wheels??

naa dont like it…it better be fast atleast!!

whit car….burnt orange mirrors?

I gotta agree about the vauxhall vx220 tail-lights,
http://www.flickr.com/photos/stoyan/1104020210/

I also agree with the Opel speedster taillights,
http://www.allsportauto.com/photoautre4/opel/speedster/2001_opel_speedster_01_m.jpg

they are the same car depending on what side of the road you drive on,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Speedster

those are definitely late 90s-early 00s mercury cougar headlights
http://www.fettarappa.ch/family/cars/cougar01.jpg

notice the indent in the bottom corner of the lights, and the same indent on the merc’ to follow the lines of the grill.

sometimes try to identify the lights used on motor-homes this is abut the same but cooler

I like the reversed dual breathers…hahahaha
What are they tryin to do? break the world record for fastest car in reverse? I don’t think they’ll count it if the engine is in backwards….

I think I wouldn’t mind driving this, but I’m not sure. It’s just too far out there for me to forge a difinitive “like it” or “don’t like it”. One thing’s for sure, it would catch EVERYONE’S attention everywhere it goes.
-
Oh, and I seriously doubt any of the body parts or lenses came from any production cars. The headlights definitely are not from a Cougar.
-
Y’know, the nose reminds me of the alien that plays the horn with that band in the cantina, in the original Star Wars, for some strange reason.
-
In fact, I think “alien” best describes this thing.

Well Obviously someone (Watchowski Bros) want to redo the Herbie franchise like they did Speed Racer…
Or obviously, Hotwheels pooped this thing out Mattel’s backside for a focus group test…
Actually, I’d drive it. It would sure turn heads…

maybe for all the wrong reasons…

Well, you can’t start something new without being different…

(well duh…)

Ugly.. Looks like it may have been a good idea at first, but the design got too out of hand. Looks like a melted snow car.

Interesting concept. It could use a better looking front end. Could use a little more ground clerance. Whats with the #53 on the front fender? Anyway, I appericiate all of the time and craftsmanship that went to making the fiberglass body.

Again, like the Snob-Rod, it looks like a Hot Wheel

awsome. it looks like a car that belongs on speedracer. hats off to the person that did all the fiberglass work.

Maybe Ferrari should take some clues from these guys. I bet if they were built like this, they wouldn’t catch on fire as much!

It looks like a Transformer’s car…
.
Caught transforming, and it got stuck part way…

those look like opel speedster tailights

It looks like an assless cheetah….

cknarf is right. The rear of the car kills it for me. If the engine was enclosed and had a more… normal rear end, I’d like it.
.
Sort of.

vauxhall vx220 taillights

I really like the concept of it. I would have better looking headlights though. I’d redo the whole frontend altogether.

I agree total WTF! What’s with the Herbie #53 on the front of it. No way is this an homage to that. Bizarre. Somebody spent some time with the ol’fiberglass.

The hot wheels shit on the rear end kills it.

I think that fella in the second pic is thinking what most of us are thinking, including you Rob. What the hell is happening here?

That looks like a speed bump/curb check mishap just waiting to happen…
