Back in the early 70’s you could buy these supped up monster engined model cars. What self-respecting young developing petrolhead could resist them with those huge wheels and crazy styling? Well to go along with the promotion of these models the manufacturer built some scaled up versions, well the engine was full size that the cars shrank around it. Who knows if they actually ran or where you could sit, or how that would handle they just look damn cool to me. Just imagine seeing them all lined up at car and drag racing shows, just awesome.

Jankel Tempest

From the man behind the Panther 6, Robert Jankel, this is what happens when you take a humble C4 Corvette and virtually hand build a super car convertible around it. The 6.7L petrol V8, was treated to a supercharger which resulted in 535bhp this then resulted in 1992 with a Guinness World Record for fastest production car to 60mph at just shy of 3.3s and a top speed of 200mph. The car went into production in 1993 although I’m not sure how long it stayed in production for. Jankel now build armoured cars!!!! So a slight change in direction there then. Although you can see on profile where its roots lie there no denying the changes give it a much more aggressive look I just love those bonnet air intakes.
