Volga V12 coupe

This car looks great... Talk about retro done right; the styling is done way better than the original Volgas. BMW 850 V12 powered, Russian coachwork

More pics here

If they had only done the late model two-seat T-bird as well as this... The latest T-bird combined 50's styling with modern FWD proportions on a RWD car (not a winning combo). But this Volga looks great. Wow, I never thought I'd say that about a Volga....

I like it. The rear reminds me of a Facel Vega.

It started life as a BMW 850CSi. I hope you weren't thinking it's a modified version of the "classic" Volga in the pics...

Tastefully done. Like it better than the re-bodied Enzo.

I keep coming back to this thread just to look at the car. I like it more every time I see it. I love the style of cars from the 50's and 60's and to have something like this built on a BMW 850 chassis is pretty much the best of both worlds.
