The Gentleman’s Racer does not have 1,000 horsepower or a V8 strapped with a twin turbo kit, but Mikael Lugnegard’s creation is the ass-kicking beauty of an old hot rod.
The big wheels and the large rear of the car give it the attitude and look of an angry dog just waiting for you to make your move before he mauls you.
It comes in the two colors you see in the pictures (it’s not actually real…just a design) and it was created using Maya, Hypershot, and Photoshop on the computer. I can only dream of what kind of roar the Gentleman’s Racer actually makes. It also probably wouldn’t be much of a gentleman after all.
