Citroen 2CV built on Ferrari 355 chassis, complete with 3.5l V8!

More pictures and a video, here: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/05/insane-citroen-2cv-built-atop-ferrari.html

I'm not sure which is better, this, or the Cosworth-powered Model A Ford.

I wouldn't call that a sleeper, mostly because you can tell from just looking at it that it's badass from the get-go.

If it was primer gray, or 4 different colors.....

It's neat looking, but it's not a sleeper.

It still looks more or less like a 2CV. I think it would surprise a lot of people.

It may be fast, it may look sorta like a 2CV, it ain't no sleeper and in my opinion was a waster of a Ferrari. Hopefully who ever built it/paid for it like it.

+1

Too many things make it obvious that it's not close to your normal 2CV.

That being said, it's pretty cool. The desire and creativity of people will never cease to amaze me.

That Model A made me giggle. O.M.G.

Brings up a whole slew of ideas for the challenge. Especially if you can find some wheels that you can paint faux wood spokes into....

Oh, it looks like a sleeper all right... bring a sleeping bag and pillows, and sleep in the back at night..

It just begs the question "Why?"

Now, if they could make it look more like the Renault Clio V6 Renault Sport, then you'd have a chance of calling it a sleeper.

The photos of the build are definitely worth the time. They disguised EVERYTING. The Cossie motor looks just like a modA mill, right down to the plug wires. There's a hidden switch to make it sound like a model A. The alloy wheels are faux painted to look like wood spokes. They hid the disc brakes. They are the epitome of Finnish lunatic cool...
