It sounds like an unfortunate mix between a Hyundai and a reference to/parody of the Mustang Boss models, and it looks like a modern muscle car where you actually of everything American can recognize. Get to know the Equus Bass 770, the latest musclesnoepje from Detroit.
To be honest, we had not yet Equus Automotive was heard, but this company from Rochester Hills, Michigan, has a penchant for muscle cars from the ’60s, and bring there with their Bass 770 is a tribute to.
The car reminds me at a glance most think of a classic Mustang Fastback, and the two lamps in the grille are clearly a reference to the GT500 Eleanor.
Despite the retro touches, the 770 is a very modern car. He is equipped with an aluminum chassis and body, and looks thanks to its long wheelbase and wide track very legged. In the forepeak is a hand crafted 6,2-litre V8, which to me wouldn’t be surprised if it is a GM LS-block is (the LS9 from the ZR1?), and for the stopperij are carbon-ceramic brakes fitted.
The capability comes thanks to a supercharger out 650 horsepower, and the car squeezes an amazing 820 Nm of maximum torque. In addition, Equus, the time taken to a swanky promo video together screws. You can find these on autojunk. The specs of the Bass 770 are at the bottom of this page.
Then the key question: what does it cost? Fully equipped charges Equus is $250,000 for a copy. You hear well, a quarter of a million dollars in a country where a V8 Muscle Car is somewhere between 30 and 50,000 dollars. But yes, exclusivity is not cheap.
