The Vetter Slash Is a V8 Supercar From Another Dimension

Futurion Craft - The world of automotive design has always been a blend of art, science, and a dash of rebellion. Every now and then, a creator emerges who refuses to follow the rules, who looks at a car not as a product but as a sculpture in motion. Among those rare visionaries stands Mike Vetter—a name that resonates with anyone who appreciates the thrill of imagination turned mechanical. His creations have long danced on the line between concept and reality, but perhaps none capture that audacious spirit quite like the Vetter Slash.

At first glance, the Slash doesn’t just attract your attention—it seizes it completely. Its sharp, angular silhouette cuts through convention like a blade through silk. Crafted from the ground up by Vetter Original Design, this extraordinary machine bears the unmistakable mark of its creators, Mike and Team Vetter (MTV). Every contour, crease, and surface is a direct reflection of their imagination and craftsmanship. Known for his futuristic approach to performance design, Vetter has a history of building cars that look as if they’ve leapt straight out of a sci-fi film—remarkable creations like the Extra Terrestrial Vehicle (ETV), and the Joker's car in Warner Brothers movie-titled Suicide Squad are proof of that.

When the Slash was officially unveiled in 2020, it immediately drew attention from enthusiasts and designers alike. Displayed at events such as L’Automobile 2021, the car embodied the kind of originality rarely seen in modern automotive culture. It wasn’t a revival of a classic or a reinterpretation of an icon—it was something entirely new, a vision built from scratch. That debut marked not just another concept reveal, but a statement from Vetter himself: creativity still has horsepower. Among his many innovations, the Slash stood apart. It wasn’t merely bold—it was utterly fearless.

Beneath its aggressively sloped hood sits a 455-horsepower GM LS3 V8 engine, a powerhouse that transforms the Slash into something much more than a pretty face. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission, but Vetter’s custom philosophy means no two builds have to be alike. Buyers can specify their preferred drivetrain, making each Slash a tailored work of art. Its foundation, a Corvette chassis, provides both stability and familiarity, while giving Vetter the freedom to let his imagination soar above a proven performance platform. The result is a car that feels as if it were designed from another dimension, yet still grounded in genuine engineering precision.

The bodywork, entirely sculpted from fiberglass, plays a starring role in the Slash’s character. It’s a study in contrast—sleek yet aggressive, structured yet flowing. The removable hardtop offers versatility, transforming the vehicle from a closed-cabin beast to an open-air thrill machine. Even the details are theatrical: illuminated badging glows subtly, while every surface seems to be cut and folded by a designer’s knife. The name “Slash” isn’t poetic metaphor—it’s descriptive reality. From the large vents carved into its fenders that exhale hot air, to the blade-like headlamps with a mesmerizing 3D depth, every angle dares you to stare a little longer.

The stance completes the drama. Twenty-inch wheels anchor the car to the asphalt, while massive brakes hide within—ready to rein in all that power when needed. Adjustable coilovers allow the ride height to rise or drop, tailoring the car’s presence and performance to the driver’s whim. Yet, for all its aggression, the Slash maintains an uncanny elegance. It’s the kind of car that turns heads not just because it looks fast, but because it looks like it shouldn’t exist—and somehow, does.

Then there are the doors, perhaps the most conversation-starting feature of all. They swing upward with a flourish reminiscent of a Lamborghini, but with a twist—literally. The Slash’s doors are also rear-hinged, a double-layered feat of design that few have attempted, and none have executed quite like this. It’s equal parts functional artistry and theatrical entrance, the kind of flourish that makes every entry feel like stepping onto a futuristic stage.

Around back, the attention to detail continues with an illuminated badge perfectly integrated into the rear fascia. It’s a subtle touch that completes the Slash’s identity, glowing softly in the night as if the car itself were alive. Nothing here feels rushed or ornamental; it’s all precision, balance, and vision brought to life.

Mike Vetter’s work has always been about more than machines. It’s about the art of creation—the translation of dreams into something that roars, breathes, and moves. Through his company, Vetter Original Design, he invites others to share in that process. He doesn’t just build cars for clients; he builds with them. From sketchpad to street, the journey is collaborative, personal, and endlessly inventive. It’s the “Vetter way,” where imagination doesn’t end at the drawing board—it begins there. | FanmaalwTpI | D7DNCbwy4qI |

In a world where most vehicles blur together in a sea of predictability, the Slash stands defiantly apart. It’s a modern reminder that car design can still be emotional, surprising, and deeply human. Built in an era dominated by automation and uniformity, the Slash rekindles something elemental—the desire to dream big, to create boldly, and to drive something that feels alive. Mike Vetter didn’t just design another car; he built a rolling expression of individuality. And in that sense, the Vetter Slash isn’t merely a machine—it’s a statement, one that continues to echo every time its V8 comes to life. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MTV CONCEPTS | VETTER VEHICLES IN FACEBOOK | AUTOEVOLUTION | MOTOR1 | CORVSPORT | OBSCURESUPERCAR IN X ]
