In the beginning

Despicable American or fantastic? Art, classical or kitsch?

In the beginning this car was made by Randy Grubb. He used an M47 Patton Tank engine and a Greyhound bus transmission for it. That was good for around 800 hp at an eleventh of the original tank weight. The car ran 2 on 1.

TV presenter Jay Leno bought the car and upgraded it technically. with injection and a double turbo, the projectile is now good for such an 1600 hp.
