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).

Click any preview to be taken to the full 17 high-res pics update!

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 Smile

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 ...

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 Wink

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.  Thumbs Up
