Back from the Monaco GP, and what a crazy edition it was! Veyrons, Enzos, F50s, MC12 and so much more... but we'll get to it later on I guess..

Right now, let me show you one of the craziest hybrids I ever saw. I saw the cars passing by during the Villa d'Este Concorso d'Eleganza and I contacted the owner as there was a website on the car. I just had to see this crazy creation from up close. We're talking about a complete F355 (chassis, engine, brakes, interior and so on...) on which the owner adapted a Citroen 2CV furgonette body! The result looks like a tuned 2CV and I can only imagine the surprise you would have if such a car would ask you to move aside on the highway at 250+ kmh!! The car works perfectly. You might like such a move or not, but we should admire the impressive effort put into this (1500 hours worth BTW).

LMAO, how the hell did they come up with this idea

Looks great, would love to show up on a trackday with this and register as a 2CV and then blow the doors of most cars.

BTW, I met the guy by chance today while stranded with the Lotus overheating like hell.. he brought me some water to allow to me drive home, and told me he'll have a video of the 2CV online soon.. stay tuned!

That's amazing! Not that I like the idea, in fact I think it's more like a sacrliege than anything else... like dating Alessandra Ambrossio, and dress her to look like Susan Boyle

I assume the idea came up after a crash or something... 'cause I can't imagine a man in his right mind, wanting his beautiful F355 to look like a 2CV! With all my respects to the Citroën

Yes, although I didn't ask for many details, I think the 355 wasn't shiny new ...

I don't know what to say...

front look sgreat, the side with the wheels looks a little pimp - I like the idea of this car on german highways, left lane at 250km/h+

LOL, that surely is a hell of a crazy re-build

I actually like it, only if the 355 was seriously ill...
nice pics TT

What the hell?

This is one of the craziest this type projects I've ever heard of.

I'd really like to know and see how this thing takes corners!

No prob dani

danidmas · « **Reply #15 on:** 26-May-2009, 22:51:00 »

Well, I thought some publicity wouldn't hurt

Afterall, this is an internet world premiere apparenly! Great job Matteo!

Too bad they've cropped SCS's watermark in the article photo, although they'va left it on the rest of the pics

TT · « **Reply #16 on:** 26-May-2009, 23:15:56 »

Well, the logo is on the pics and the website, aswell as TAU are quoted as the sources, so it's ok I guess...

I'm sure the owner will be happy for the advertising, as such cars is meant to attract attention

That... is the most awesome thing ever!!

thats just too cool to be true!

Guyon · « **Reply #18 on:** 27-May-2009, 09:45:39 »

Haha, saw this on Autoblog and Jalopnik and didn't even notice.. Boy am I oblivious. Anyway, I think it's extremely cool, given that the 355 wasn't in proper condition.

MartinR · « **Reply #19 on:** 27-May-2009, 10:34:27 »

Just saw it on Jalopnik - awesome!
