From Mitch Allread of California. A 4.0 litre V8 Lexus motor sits in what was a ’68 Toyota Corona. With a background in supplying kit for NASCAR teams, it does have a Brick Yard- track car aesthetic.
Automotive designers / stylists have distinct skills and a particular aesthetic ability compared to product designers. If you ask a product designer to style a car you end up with a large product with wheels rather than a moving sculpture that can have soul. I get the feeling that this is the kind of result you would get if you asked a product designer to design a Hot Rod – but in this case the result is exciting – after all, in the end everyone knows product designers are better looking and more intelligent than automotive stylists !
Engine Punk because: its an unusual approach to Hot Rods from an unexpected choice of base car.
