The MG XPower is a Unicorn of modern British motor history. Only 81 made it to the road, the SVR model was going for £83,000 ($108k) in 2003. Somehow these lunatics have managed to get hold of a full carbon fiber shell that's gone untouched since 2003/4.
Creating an aggressive & reliable hard top convertible by transforming the VW Eos into a gorgeous hybrid by swapping the front end from a VW Scirocco. It's only been done a handful of times, but it produces a real neck breaker
Nissan GTR engine swapped Evo 8 - The 3.8 V6 is now a 4.1 and the twin turbos that come fitted to the GTR as standard are upgraded to Precision turbos and controlled with a MoTec ECU pushing out 1600bhp which was limited by the owner. I mean, 1600bhp is more than enough right?
We've got ourselves a 4 day Easter weekend and a mini heatwave in the UK so it would be mad not to go to some sort of car show. Luckily, one of the biggest UK car shows has come to town.
For this show, variety was not an issue. Everything from a lowrider Citroen Picasso to Pink Metallic Buggy and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the gallery of some of the best pictures I got, I am in no way a good photographer. I just hope it was worth the impending sunburn.
We're used to seeing crazy builds by now, especially engine swaps.LS S2000, seen it. Coyote Ford F100, seen it. 2JZ Datsun 240z, seen it. K20 BMW, seen it.What about Rotary powered BMW, erm, can't say I have. That's a big clash of worlds. What about a 6 Rotor engine in a BMW M6? Nope, never. I've been thinking about writing about this project for a few months, and I still look at it and think, who on earth dreamed this up?! Well, over in South Africa a company called Kiwi-RE took it on. The BMW M6 was ripped...
This Integra has had a Cadillac subframe and 500 cubic inch V8 tucked right behind the drivers seat. Its also boosted by twin 65mm turbos. Unfortunately there are no power figures but I'm guessing this gas guzzler is no slouch in a straight line.
Shane's classic Volvo 142 is like no other. Its chassis has been swapped with a newer V70R to give the V142 all wheel drive, bulletproof 2.3 turbo engine and all the modern electrics that come with it, giving it the name 'V142R'
