I'm starting this thread to see how imaginative you lot are. I want to know what is your dream automobile? And don't no one go shouting out Porches or Vipers. Your real dream car. One that doesn't exist but could be made by customisation or some other method.

Now to start this off, my dream car would be a Volkswagen camper, of pre 1970 vintage, with a nice Rolls Royce Merlin stuck in the back. Think of the look on that boy racers face as you pull away from the traffic lights. Grin

Or a DB-605 with Methanol injection instead of that V-12 (1300hp).

yes wouldn't mind having a 36 L engine in my car either, might be a little loud though Roll Eyes

info: WWII aircraft engine making between 1,400-2,000 horsepower
12 cylinder
Benz

although for aircraft engines i would go with the PRATT & WHITNEY R-4360  (4000 hp, with 28 cylinders)
although i would also settle for the Napier Saber or the wright R-3350

Really?! The V12 can't go around corners? Shame because that was the car I was thinking of  Roll Eyes Well, my other choices would be the Lambourgini Diablo or some kind of SUV  Grin

...

I don't know what this guy was on when he built this "M3" its actually an old 6 series BMW that went, er, slightly wrong IMHO Grin  Roll Eyes

For me, I'll take one of these....
...
400BHP (PS) V8 BMW M5 Engine

And stuff it in this....

...
Perhaps the best handling car I've ever driven...

No doubt lose my licence shortly thereafter!  Grin
