11 Jun 2009 | They call this a hybrid?
Ah, those crazy Italians. They will do almost anything. Like mate a Ferrari with a Citroen. “Huh, WTF?” one may ask. Via the Autopia blog at Wired.com comes this story about a group of Italian who take an intact but non functional Citroen C2V (the van flavor) and with the help of a cutting torch and a welding torch, mated it to a wrecked but still functioning Ferrari F335 (Citroen body + Ferrari chassis = this interesting combo).
Arghh! Seems WordPress chopped off part of the photo. I will have to fix this.
This kind of reminds me of those who drop the engine out of a Porche 911 into a Volkswagen Beetle. However in this case we have the fully functioning chassis of a Ferrari, so it still handles and sounds like a Ferrari yet wrapped in the unassuming shell of a wide spread and fairly pokey French small car (in its van flavor). The results look interesting however I can’t do this story justice so read on via the link:
