Cool car, but I’d take the stock 6 series and buy a real 57 T-bird to go along with it.

It is nice to see some custom coach building being done though.

I actually think it’s better than alot of the other modified bmw’s we’ve seen lately mostly because it’s at least original rather than some group thats just slapped abit of carbon fibre decal on the inside and plastered there brand all over it. I still wouldn’t buy one but I can imagine that some people would be into this sort of thing.

LLN,
this replica based on first ever Russian Volga from the 50’s that come only as a four door Sedan GAZ-21 and Station Wagon GAZ-22. As all Russian car companies GAZ was state owned.
The V12 Coupe was not based on just any 8-Series, but on Motorsport developed 850CSi. The story behind it is wealthy Russian didn’t want to stand out from a crowd too much, so he asked to build fast car for him. That’s how V12 Coupe was bourn.

I absolutely LOVE the 6-series, always have, i love its edgy design. this is an interesting interpretation on customization, and its even more interesting that they chose the 6-series to do it on, props to them on a good looking final product and an imaginative, retro design stemming from an incredibly futuristic looking BMW.

Very T-bird-ish. VERY retro. I doubt if those bumpers would ever pass US specs for crashes, though. Maybe the next Bond movie?

It’s better than a Thunderbird. But why do that to a BMW 6 series?

This thing looks like a T-bird.
Once again, the answer to a question nobody asked.

would rather have a stock 6, that looks like a horrible rendition of a 50’s cruiser. UGLY!

Should be called Vogon.

The design looks like it’s fighting with itself. What’s not working is the BMW top with the Volga body. It also seems stretched, but I am glad it exists.

The company is actually a:level, a customiser based in Moscow – Volga is a model made by the GAZ company.

the word is internal exile. 7 years hard labor for everyone responsible. it looks retro and i bet it squeaks and rattles like a 70s lada too.

JS –”Renton, the word is not Thunderbird, is VOLGA. Investigate a bit.”

No **** Sherlock. I was making a reference to a car that it semi resembled, the Ford Thunderbird of the early 00’s. What planet do some of you come from?

It even has a little Studebaker Hawk in it,

I finally like the 6 series! I´d just change the old-looking wheels, the tail lights and personalize a bit more the interior (especially the wheel). They should invent a badge to put on it too.

Looks a little odd to me. It’s “almost there”, but there’s something not quite right about the proportions, and the back end is jacked up in the air too much, as though someone had kicked it in the butt and it never settled back down. But coming from Russia—hardly the “cool car capitol of the world”, it’s a pretty good effort.

What’s the word?

THUNDERBIRD.

Very, very cool. Much better looking than the 6, anyway, though even a Yugo is.
