Making A One-Of-A-Kind Car
Julian Edgar writes for autospeed and he has his ideas on how to make a really unique car. Basically, in his article, he said that it is cost effective if one should just improve a mass produced vehicle to make it look different with a new body and by improving its performance.
"Rather than take just some bits from a donor car (whether that’s a Honda S2000 or a Mazda MX5), why not build the one-off car around all the mechanical bits of another car? The engine, driveline, brakes, suspension, instruments, wiring loom, engine management, traction control, ABS – the lot," writes Edgar.
He also said that there are some vehicles out there that can be easily made into a one-off car. "If you picked a car with a low-mounted engine (like an Impreza WRX) or a mid-mount engine (like a Toyota MR2) you could surely change the shape of the body very considerably so that it wouldn’t resemble the donor in any visual way," he continued.
This is quite a good idea. If you are really looking to buy a new unique car from a manufacturer of specialty cars, why not a used car and have its appearance changed? It really makes a lot of sense since you only have to replace the auto body parts of the vehicle.
