Description This modified VW is now called Locomotion (LOCO for short) and we'll start the production next year! It's a kind of contemporanean VW Hot Rod with fiberglass body, new hand made chassis and a 1600cc engine with turbo reaching 190 hp! This car weights less than 700Kg... I'm sure you can imagine how fast it is! This picture was taken at 2008 Salão de acessórios (kind of SEMA show here in Brazil) and was not finished (where's the bumpers????) 'cause we had no time to do it. It was painted with a Kawasaki Ninja Green with red flakes and the fenders was Solid black with red flakes too. Willwood calipers and break discs, Foose Design 20" black wheels, PIAA lights and Sparco seats are some of the "upgrades" this concept prototype shows.
Here is the main team who made the car:

DO ALL TEAM (I work there!)

João Barriga - main fiberglass guy
Damião - chassis, rollbar and all car's geometry
Marcelo Manzano (ME!) - Designer
Denyson Barone - Owner and designer
Amilcar - Did all the mechanics, break sistem and suspension
Moisés - Manager ('cause he "manages" to get everything you need...)

190hp ? I'm sure you could push alittle more out of that 1600cc engine.

Virou garoto propaganda! Vai participar de uma outra feira no estande da Avery Dennison (Multinacional de adesivagem geral) e tem umas três revistas acertadas pra fazer matéria! Já foi convidado pelo prefeito de Santo Andrá pra participar de uma inauguração de uma ponte (junto de outros carros únicos) e se tudo der certo vai ser até carro de um protagonista de uma novela!
