It looks ridiculously out of proportion. Especially when looking at it directly from the front or back.

That's what I was thinking. Driving it must be an insane amount of fun and yet completely terrifying at the same time. I want one.

Love it - it's insane, silly looking, and probably quite a handful to drive, but I'm glad there's nutters around building things like this.

why not put that engine into a NICE Car ... why a matiz? Why not a Fiesta or a Ibiza ... or even a Corsa? Why that butt-ulgy matiz? Love the Idea (MonsterV8 in a small hatch) and respect the work-efford ... but It´s all been for nothing because it´s hideous. images/smilies/yucky.gif

Because it's funny? A Matiz with a gigantic engine is just more amusing because it's a complete mismatch. It's like a nun in a bikini.

That is two heaping scoops of awesome! Reminds me of the old Fiesta Shogun... I saw one of those at One Lap of America and felt confused by hearing those noises comes from that little thing.

Great idea, but like others said, why the Matiz? Ugly as hell. Why not a panda? Or, to piss off people, a G-Wiz V8?

G-Wiz V8 would be great, but I think a Matiz was a pretty good choice.

No, no. A V8 Prius, but not a big-block, a 2.4 l block instead.
