But will the chassis and tranny be able to handle that much power?I agree with u the Amberoid looked ugly.

Have to agree with GTO. The Volga V12 is a killer.

Now a Volga M6!!

Source:English Russia » Volga M6

What if somebody takes a Russian car from 1970s, Volga GAZ-21 like on the picture below
Russian Hot Rods!-volga.jpg
And mix it with ultra new BMW M6? Like this one for example:
Russian Hot Rods!-m6.jpg
Voila!! A Volga M6!
Russian Hot Rods!-1.jpg
The front part of exterrior is left almost unchanged from Russian Volga. Except the Volga logo and xenon headlights.
But now there are no more 4 doors, only too left. And wheels look like 19″ from M6.

Rear part was also taken from Volga without any change, but four exhaust pipes are seem like BMW M6 ones.

The engine,chassis and drivetrain are all lifted from the M6! Only the bodywork is different.Now thats retro-futureism!!

Found this amazing review of the Volga V12 on Car and Driver
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...ature/(page)/1

Here's the intro:
Snow is falling over Moscow in the failing winter light. Down Tverskaya Street comes a convoy of bureaucratic black sedans, like a scene from the gloomy days of Comrade Brezhnev, except now they part a sea of battered Ladas and brand-new Audis. Looking right, the convoy can glimpse the golden spires of the Kremlin and the walls of Red Square before heading for the plain, stone-slabbed Duma, the Russian parliament

That's it!
Can a car be art?
Yes it can!
Can a car be a fashion accessory?
Yes, of course it can!
And this is a monster at that!
This to me is like Russia's answer to the Alfa Romeo 8C which is a ghastly looking car IMHO, and probably to the Spyker C8 too.

8C, C8...hmmm....interesting nomenclature.
