OT: Auto appreciators - What is up here?

[William]

An off-road roadster? Beyond the agree or disagree on the merits of an off-roading roadster, what is wrong with this picture? Can you spot what make-ah no sense? Something isn't what it seems here...

Individual throttle bodies with little shorty intake tubes, not velocity stacks, and zero intake filtration, does not say "offroad" to me.

Plus, of course, RWD driveline . . .

Lack of any air filters is going to ensure it does not live long.

Yup.

Okay, that "engine" is completely fake. It is a mock up that covers a fuel cell. You unscrew that first stack to fill the cell. They went as far as putting amber/yellow LEDs in the header pipes. The engine is actually in the trunk.

Honestly, makes no sense to me and I would have not bothered with a fake motor and just put a hood on it to cover the fuel cell and I think it would still look good for what it is....a polaris frame with a hot rod body on it.

I saw an image of the car so I looked it up and came across the video.

Off-roading with forward-facing velocity stacks instead of air cleaners suggests he will have a very short season.

The only thing going down that stack is gasoline.:eek:

I'm not a huge car guy but that may be the coolest car I have ever laid eyes on. I'd need a matching moss green road version of that...for balance.
