First-Gen Audi TT Custom Tuning at Its Wildest

Radical Vision - When a movie car makes such an impact that fans attempt to recreate it in the real world, it moves beyond fiction and into cultural icon status. That’s exactly what happened with the Audi RSQ from I, Robot. Although the original RSQ was never road-readyit was a pure concept designed by Audi exclusively for the 2004 sci-fi blockbustersome imaginative enthusiasts took the idea into their own hands, turning a few first-generation Audi TTs into wild custom builds loosely styled after the RSQ, crafted by an unknown builder.

At first glance, these custom builds look like they’ve driven straight out of the movie set. The most obvious change is in the wheelsor at least the attempt to mimic them. In the film, the RSQ famously used spherical wheels that allowed it to glide and move in any direction. Of course, that’s impossible to replicate in real life, so the builders improvised by crafting oversized fender covers that give the illusion of round, enclosed wheels. It’s a clever way to channel the futuristic aesthetic without rewriting the laws of physics.

The front end gets a dramatic makeover too. Forget the familiar Audi TT face—these replicas feature enormous, almost vertical grilles that echo the RSQ’s bold and otherworldly design. Paired with sleek, narrow headlights and smooth body panels, the cars achieve that “futuristic concept” vibe while still being recognizable as TTs underneath. From the rear, modifications continue with reshaped taillights, extended bumpers, and aggressive detailing that makes the cars stand out instantly in traffic.

Of course, these fan-made RSQs can’t match the technical wizardry of the movie prop. The interiors remain closer to stock, and under the skin they’re still regular road-going TTs. But that doesn’t really matter—the magic lies in the visual transformation. These builds are about passion and imagination, not practicality. They capture the spirit of what the RSQ represented: a daring leap into the future of mobility.

Seeing these cars on real streets is almost surreal. They blur the line between Hollywood fantasy and everyday life, sparking the same kind of curiosity that concept cars do at auto shows. And while Audi themselves never turned the RSQ into a production model, the influence of its design has lived on, most notably in the Audi R8 that arrived just two years later.
 
In the end, these custom TTs highlight something important: when design sparks imagination, fans will always find a way to bring it into reality, no matter how impractical or outrageous. The RSQ may have been created for a sci-fi movie, but thanks to a few daring enthusiasts, its spirit continues to roll on four wheels—though with more compromises than its silver-screen counterpart.

The Mosselschuit: A Hand-Built Citroën 2CV Coupe Full of Surprises

Franken Flair - In a world where most cars are born from blueprints and budgets, there are a few that come purely from imagination. These rare creations often don’t follow the rules—they’re built in garages, shaped by hand, and fueled entirely by personal vision. One such gem, pieced together with creativity and courage, is the Mosselschuit, a Citroën 2CV-based custom sports coupe unlike anything you’ve probably ever seen.
The Mosselschuit, a custom sports coupe based on the Citroën 2CV, was unlike anything you've likely ever seen—crafted by Erwin van Snick in 1959. (Picture from: Peter Olthof in Flickr)
Back in 1959, a 17-year-old Belgian named Erwin van Snick did something extraordinary. With nothing more than a Citroën 2CV chassis and a brilliant sense of possibility, he built his own car from scratch. The Mosselschuit, as it came to be known, wasn’t a kit car or part of any manufacturer’s lineup. It was completely one-of-a-kindan expressive blend of different car parts, adapted and reimagined with impressive ingenuity.

Rather than relying on a single donor car, van Snick scavenged components from all over. The windshield came from a Citroën DS, while the rear glass was taken from a Volkswagen Beetle. The inner door skins of a Renault 4CV were repurposed to form the car’s front fenders. Gullwing-style doors? Crafted from sections of old VW doors. Even the rear lower valence came from a classic 2CV ripple bonnet, and the lower grille area was made using pieces of Citroën HY van side panels. Somehow, it all worked. The result was a small coupe with big personality—quirky yet cohesive, modest in size but massive in charm.
The Mosselschuit made its way onto the cover of the Flemish teen magazine Strip, sparking the imagination of an entire generation. (Picture from: Autopuzzles)
The Mosselschuit didn’t just live in van Snick’s garage. It also appeared in his creative short film project called Zomercapriolen and even landed on the cover of the Flemish teen magazine Strip, capturing the imagination of a generation. And then, like many one-off builds from the past, it disappeared—forgotten for decades, left to nature in a patch of woodland.

That might have been the end of the story—until Sven De Blick came along. Years later, he discovered what was left of the Mosselschuit and took on the challenge of restoring it. Not merely fixing it, but bringing it back to the form and flair of its original vision after he completed its restoration in 2016. Through patience and respect for its roots, De Blick returned the Mosselschuit to the road, where it now stands as a rolling tribute to youthful creativity and fearless experimentation.
The Mosselschuit was built not from a single donor car, but from parts sourced far and wide—its windshield came from a Citroën DS, the rear glass from a Volkswagen Beetle, the front fenders were shaped using inner door skins from a Renault 4CV, and its gullwing-style doors were crafted from sections of old VW doors. (Picture from: Autopuzzles)
What started as a teenager’s personal challenge has grown into something far more remarkable. The Mosselschuit proves you don’t need a factory or a fortune to create something unforgettable—just a bold idea, a few spare parts, and the belief that it’s possible.

And if this quirky little coupe has stirred your curiosity about other eccentric 2CV-based builds, you’re definitely not the only one. There are others out there, like the Mismaque Squal completed by Guy Mismaque in 1959, ready to surprise and inspire. Each has its own charm, and the Mismaque Squal stands proudly alongside the Mosselschuit as a truly distinctive creation in its own right. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOPUZZLES | FLICKR ]

Shelby GT500 Convertible – A Timeless American Muscle Icon

Power Legacy - Some cars are just machines. Others are stories on wheels — carrying history, engineering ambition, and a touch of myth every time the engine turns over. The 1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible belongs to that rare second category. Born during the height of the American muscle car era, it wasn’t just another Mustang with extra horsepower; it was Carroll Shelby’s statement that style and speed could coexist in one uncompromising package. And today, over five decades later, this Lime Gold icon still turns heads and sparks conversations wherever it appears.

One of only 402
GT500 convertibles built in 1968, this particular car had a life that combined everyday road use with a series of careful restorations to keep it true to its original spirit. Delivered new by Carey Paul Ford in Decatur, Georgia, it later underwent a full refurbishment before passing into the hands of its current owner. In 2021, its hearta 428 cubic-inch V8was rebuilt with precision work that included custom pistons, a Crower camshaft, and reconditioned internals, ensuring the car not only looks like it belongs in a museum but also performs with the authority Shelby intended. The power routes through a C6 three-speed automatic to a 3.50:1 rear end, a setup that blends raw torque with relaxed cruising.

Rolling on 15-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, it’s a car that looks ready to pounce. Inside, the black vinyl bucket seats, contoured rear bench, and center armrest give the cabin a snug but comfortable feel. Woodgrain trim and Stewart-Warner instrumentation hint at its racing pedigree, while details like the lap belts with front shoulder harnesses and AM radio keep it grounded in its era. Even the factory roll bar remains in place, a subtle reminder that this convertible wasn’t built solely for Sunday drives.

Its trophy case speaks for itselfthree Concours Gold awards from Shelby and Mustang events prove the quality of its restoration and upkeep. But perhaps more than the accolades, it’s the way this GT500 connects past and present that makes it special. The sound of its rebuilt V8, the tactile click of the classic shifter, the sweep of the 140-mph speedometer — all are sensory links to a time when performance cars were as much about personality as they were about numbers. | 3WnovSRE5ew |
More than fifty years after it left the factory, this 1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible stands as a rolling reminder of Carroll Shelby’s vision: take a great car, push it further, and never apologize for making it beautiful. It’s not just preserved history — it’s living history, still ready to leave a trail of rubber and smiles in its wake. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BRINGATRAILER | VIVIDCLOUDOFWAR IN X ]

The Story Behind Elvis Presley’s 1970 Cadillac Eldorado Guitar Car

Iconic Fusion - In the world of custom cars, there's something irresistibly captivating about a vehicle that blurs the line between art and engineering. When that vehicle also has ties to a legendary icon like Elvis Presley, the fascination only grows deeper. One such creation is the 1970 Cadillac Eldorado that was transformed into a “Guitar Car” by the imaginative and renowned custom car builder, Jay Ohrberg. A true spectacle on wheels, this unique Cadillac was once driven by Elvis himself to a Las Vegas concert, stealing the spotlight before the show even began.

The story of this remarkable car starts with a standard 1970 Cadillac Eldorado, known for its mighty 8.2-liter V8 engine, often referred to as the Cadillac 500 V8 thanks to its impressive 500 cubic inches of displacement. With 400 bhp and a staggering 550 lb-ft of torque, the Eldorado was a powerhouse even before any modifications. Its only available transmission was a three-speed automatic, built tough enough to handle the massive torque output. Though owners could choose between 7.0 or 7.7-liter V8 options as well, there was no small-engine version in this bold generation of Eldorados.

When Jay Ohrberg set his sights on creating the Guitar Car for Elvis, he committed to a project that would demand both vision and patience. It took him two full years to complete the transformation. The process involved cutting the original Eldorado in half just behind the A-pillar and extending the wheelbase with a custom fretboard-style center section

A significant part of the reimagining was reshaping the rear to mirror the body of a guitar, with jet-style fins enhancing the dramatic look. Much of the rear bodywork, including the extravagant fins, was crafted from fiberglass to achieve the perfect shape and weight balance. Decorative elements like faux tuners, strings, and a detailed fretboard brought the concept to life, placing the driver where the sound hole or pickups would normally be on a real guitar.

Jay Ohrberg himself is a legend in the world of custom car building. He became widely known for creating the flamboyant Panthermobile in 1969 for The Pink Panther Show, an elongated, vibrant pink vehicle that turned heads wherever it went. His portfolio also includes iconic vehicles like KITT from the Knight Rider 2000 film, the prehistoric Flintstones Car, and the whimsical Piano Car, which could actually be played while driving. In 1986, Ohrberg pushed the boundaries even further by unveiling The American Dream, a stretched limousine measuring 100 feet long, complete with 26 wheels, a helipad, a swimming pool, a hot tub, and a king-sized waterbed. This limousine was later recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's longest car.
This image from a period magazine article shows that the car, as indicated by the front license plate, was registered for regular road use. (Picture from: Silodrome)
Despite the Guitar Car’s impressive debut, surprisingly little information about its later years has survived. After making waves when Elvis drove it to a concert, the car gradually faded into obscurity. Somewhere along its journey, it mysteriously crossed the Atlantic and eventually ended up abandoned in France. How exactly it made its way there remains an unsolved puzzle that only adds to its mystique. Note: The video below does not feature the car being discussed, but instead highlights Elvis Presley’s iconic 1955 Pink Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty.
Today, the Guitar Car has resurfaced, listed for sale on eBay out of Orléans, France. Though it's currently a non-running vehicle and in need of a full restoration, it holds enormous potential for anyone willing to breathe new life into this piece of automotive and musical history. With its colorful past, unmatched creativity, and connection to two American legends—Elvis Presley and Jay Ohrberg—the Guitar Car remains a stunning reminder that some dreams, no matter how unusual, are worth preserving. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SILODROME | CARSCOOPS | EBAY | HAGERTY | THEDRIVE ]

The 1958 Okrasa Special Reborn: Steve Wright’s Classic VW-Porsche Legend

Legend Revived - Some cars are remembered simply because they were fast, while others earn their place in history thanks to their beauty or uniqueness. But every now and then, a machine comes along that seems to carry all of that at once—plus a story so unusual it feels like a movie script. The 1958 Okrasa Special belongs to that rare category, a hand-built racer that spent half a century hidden away before being brought back to life to astonish a new generation.

It all began in 1958, when racer David Smallco-owner of Barnett & Small, one of the first VW and Porsche dealerships in the UK—set out to create something extraordinary. With access to fresh parts straight from the dealership, he pieced together a radical design: a space-frame chassis with a flat floor, mid-engined layout, right-hand gearshift, and a body shaped in aircraft-grade 20-gauge aluminum. A 1950s Ghia roof topped it off, and the entire car weighed just 550 kilograms. For its time, this was a vision well ahead of convention.

Yet despite all its promise, the Okrasa Specialbuilt between 1958 and 1961 with inspiration from the Porsche 550 Spyder—never realized its full potential in the hands of its creator. After covering just 46 miles, the project was abandoned, and the car spent the next fifty years in storage—silent, unfinished, and nearly forgotten.

The story might have ended there if not for Steve Wright. In the late 2000s, he discovered the long-silent machine and was captivated by its mix of rarity and possibility. Rather than restoring it to a static, museum-like state, Steve chose to complete what David Small had started. He even tracked down Small himselfthen in his eighties—to hear first-hand about the car’s original design and specifications. That conversation bridged the decades, giving the project a sense of continuity and respect for its roots. 
The 1958 Okrasa Special underwent a resurrection that was far from simple, involving a meticulous process that felt more like an archaeological dig than a straightforward rebuild, as every component had to be carefully examined, restored, or reconstructed to honor its original design. (Picture from: Classic At The Clubhouse in Facebook)
The resurrection was far from simple. What followed was a process that felt more like an archaeological dig than a rebuild. Every component was carefully inspected: fuel and brake lines were replaced, fluids refreshed, and the engine checked over. From there, serious engineering work began. The rear suspension was reimagined with handmade trailing arms and adjustable coilovers, echoing Porsche RSK influences. At the front, the VW central tunnel was cut and re-welded to refine the suspension geometry. All of this demanded thousands of hours, and by 2018, after nearly 2,000 hours of dedicated work with specialists Mouland & Yates, the Okrasa Special finally rolled into the sunlight as a finished car.
The 1958 Okrasa Special features three engine setups: a 1300cc Okrasa twin-carb for the road, a reworked VW/Porsche race engine, and twin-Sharrock superchargers for speed records. (Picture from: Classic At The Clubhouse in Facebook)
At the heart of the machine lies a trio of personalities in the form of its engines;
  1. For road use, it carries the original Okrasa twin-port, twin-carb 1300cc.  
  2. For racing, it transforms with a reworked VW/Porsche two-piece case, Okrasa crank, Corillo rods, slipper pistons, Solex 40mm carbs, and re-engineered cylinder heads.  
  3. And when chasing speed records, it pushes even further, breathing methanol through twin-Sharrock superchargers for explosive performance.

Supporting all this power is an equally advanced chassis: torsion bars with Koni dampers and an anti-roll bar at the front, handmade trailing arms and coilovers at the rear, and a modified VW gearbox upgraded with a prototype Gene Berg five-speed unit geared for 142 mph. Braking is handled by Porsche 356B GT-spec hardware with lightened drums, drilled plates, and cooling scoops—race-bred touches that highlight just how serious this car was intended to be.

And then came the moment that crowned its second life. In February 2020, the Okrasa Special became the fastest pre-1966 VW/Porsche at the GP Ice Race in Zell am See, Austria. Just months later, in September of the same year, it set a world speed record for a standard Okrasa TSV1300-engined car, reaching 99.265 mph at Elvington, England

Today, the Okrasa Special is more than just a vintage racer. It is a bridge across time: imagined in the optimism of the 1950s, left dormant for decades, and reborn in the hands of Steve Wright, who believed in its unfinished promise. Its record-breaking performance more than sixty years after it was first conceived proves that some dreams never fade—they only wait for the right moment to roar back to life. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CLASSIC AT THE CLUBHOUSE IN FACEBOOK | DDK-ONLINE | PRESSREADER | PONTFIRE IN FLICKR ]

DiMora Scattare Concept – A Bold Rebirth of the Aurora Legacy

Style Shock - In a world where most cars blend into traffic and disappear as quickly as they appear, there’s something magnetic about a vehicle that commands attention from the moment it rolls by. That’s exactly the magic DiMora Designs creates. As a bold division of DiMora Motorcar, they’re not in the business of building ordinary transportation—they’re here to turn heads, spark curiosity, and deliver rolling art pieces that tell a story. Among their most eye-catching efforts is the DiMora Scattare Coupe, a one-off showpiece that was born from imagination, handcrafted skill, and a bit of cinematic flair.

The Scattare began life as a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora, a solid yet unremarkable four-door sedan. But the team at DiMora saw something more in it. Inspired by the overwhelming public response to its sibling, the DiMora JX Coupe, they decided to take things up a notch. Where the JX had transformed a Chrysler into a two-seat road-going movie car, the Scattare would reimagine the Aurora into a sleek, high-style coupe built for both street and screen.

Everything about the Scattare is meant to surprise—from the overall shape to its clever features. For starters, the car was transformed from a standard four-door into a custom two-door with an elongated rear deck. Behind the driver sits a second trunk lid that lifts vertically, ready to accommodate a high-definition screen or other custom AV setups. Prefer something retro? It can even be modified to host a rumble seat, blending nostalgia with innovation in true DiMora style.

The look of the Scattare is just as bold as its concept. Project Manager Jim Willis gave the car a one-of-a-kind three-tone paint job that he jokingly calls “Swiss cheese.” The orange hand-painted pinstripe separates a deep burgundy roof and hood from a pearl white body, with playful cut-out-style burgundy and white holes scattered along the orange stripe. It’s whimsical, it's weird—and it works. This isn’t a car trying to be subtle. It’s a car that knows it’s different and loves it.

Under the skin, the Scattare keeps impressing. Massive chrome Foose Nitrous wheels20 inches in the rear and 18 in front—anchor its wide, lowered stance. An aluminum hood scoop, paired with racing-style pin-hook lockdowns, adds a performance-minded edge to the otherwise artistic design. Even if you don’t peek under the hood, the car clearly means business.

Alfred DiMora, the visionary behind the project, describes it as a fun, one-off car meant for the spotlight. And that’s really the whole point. The Scattare isn’t about specs or stats—it’s about presence. It’s about what happens when a passionate team takes a forgotten sedan and reshapes it into something that stops people mid-step. Its sibling, the JX Coupe, was already a crowd magnet, and the Scattare continues that tradition with even more flash and flair.

DiMora Designs isn’t stopping here, either. Their team has already started modifying another Oldsmobile Aurora, this time from 1996. And if you think turning it into a mid-engine car sounds extreme, well, that’s exactly the point. “Extreme” is the playground DiMora loves to explore. | 3V78hcfIep0 |
The Scattare Coupe stands as proof that with the right vision, even the most overlooked cars can be transformed into unforgettable machines. It's more than a custom car—it’s a moving piece of character and creativity. And if you're lucky enough to catch it cruising by, you'll understand why people can’t help but stop, stare, and ask, “Wait… what is that thing?” *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DIMORA MOTORCAR | ALLCARINDEX ]
