not a fan of the paint job

You’d think when they say built by hand from scratch it was like an Italian dish or something. I think they would be better off building it the new way on a computer then do the clay models and then bring it to production.

…that would mean he probably started after GM announced the new Camaro.

That’s pretty impressive for having been built by a single person.

does this meet the new CAFE standards? oh wait this is italy not US

He must’ve been really bored

purely amazing i must say

No it definitely could use the ah oh better get MAACO Paint and body treatment before you take that Italian job anywhere. other than that it looks ok.

Not a fan of the styling, but the man definitely possesses some 1337 skillz to pull off something like that.

impressive

Yeah, he kinda gets a pass because he made it himself. That’s really cool. I just hope some random guy doesn’t plow it in the parking lot.

Anyone else think DMC-12 Delorean looking at the body?

The Uragano even pulls off the bare metal look quite well. – It has no paint!!!

I see a lot steel, that thing is not light. Awesome build none the less.

Amazing. Well done, and fairly decent design too!

lol blakkarr, I can’t say so but you are right in one area. They practically are the same color. lol Very impressive indeed.

That definitely is impressive coming from a single man’s efforts, no doubt.

But if I were him I’d be really weary of putting the thing through performance tests. (the article mentions that performance stats aren’t available)

I’m not sure it could survive the tests!

It’s hard to knock something that one man built on his own…so I won’t.

I agree it’s an impressive self build, but the body looks like something I drew back when I was 10 yrs old.

I think Tesla will sue him for patent infringement. They wanted to build this first.
I would call this lad a renaissance motor head.

That’s mighty impressive. Imagine what he could do with the resources of a car company. Somebody hire this guy.

now he’ gotta crash test it :O

Madone! Italian Power Baby!

He should consider taking the next step and have someone finish the body. That would do it so much more justice, it’s impressive none the less.

At first glance I was about to laugh but I am really impressed.

A lot of respect for that…

Not a bad job for someone that hand built it. Only thing I like about the car is the arrangements of the headlights. He could have put a bit more attention to cleaning up the engine bay, like polishing the rollcage and give it a good paint job.

oh and look at the size of the Turbo, almost the size of one you’d find on a drag car.

That ugly piece of **** should go back in his garage. Props for effort, but it’s ugly.

I can’t believe some people on here have the balls to talk bad about what this guy did. That’s a VERY cool car. I’d like to see one of the backyard jack @$$’s that are making fun of this guy do something like this. You guy’s have obviously never restores a car or built a race car, I bet you couldn’t even handle a soap box derby car.

Brava Italia. Not to be picky about a guy who fabbed his own car from scratch, but the metal work is sort of subpar. Aside from that, whoa.

This is totally awesome.

But its pretty clear he didn’t do everything other than the engine from scratch. The seats look like a pretty standard sport seat. I’m positive he didn’t make his own tires. Comparing the metal work on the body to the metal work on the wheels, I’m reasonably certain he didn’t do the wheels, either. And there are other mechanical bits, like the coil on the suspension, that I’m doubtful he did completely on his own.

Maybe GM could learn something from this guy about developing a car more quickly! Respect to this guy for such an amazing achievement.

yeah the body works is a little off i mean it is cool he built it but it looks like it was made from cardboard. though i am sure it is fast

I have a ton of respect for this guy. Inspiration to us all to get off our asses and do the same.
