Or is it a mustang?
Even if you load a skoda octavia rs with all the options, you don’t have the most awesome octavia in the world. That Honor Goes to the Ringbrothers Octavia, which has much more to do with a classic aston martin dbs than with a skoda octavia. And a little bit with ford …
The Ringbrothers Octavia is One of the Many Exclusive Premieres Duration Monterey Car Week, and An Example of the Very Popular ‘Restomod’ There. Where the majority of ‘restomoders’ go for the porsche 911 as a base, the american ringbrothers (supplier of hot rod parts) make the very original choice for an aston martin dbs. And we are not referring to that sleek, streamlined dbs that we have seen in multiple forms as the turn of the century, but to the angular model from the 70s.
Accordance to Ringbrothers, Such an Aston was Actually Used As a Base and the Company Even Shares ‘Before and After’ Photos. However, these Mainly Show How much the new product deviates from the original. Roofline, Window Line, Dashboard and Even The Opening of the Trunk Are Different From The Real DBS, which Effective Creates An Entirely New Body.
Little Remains of the Original DBS (Right).
That body does not appear to come from a ford mustang, although it is pointed out online that the end result – like the original dbs, by the way – has QUITE A Few Similarities with That Popular Ford. That brand is also the supplier of the powertrain, consisting of a six-speed manual gearbox and a five-liter Ford-V8 with a harrop compressor. The result delivers more than 1,000 HP of Power, and Ringbrothers Says it has invested 12,000 hours in Building the Car. Very cool, but you might wonder if ringbrothers would not have leg better off transfer ring a few more parts from the original dbs.
