This awesome looking machine was created by Daniel Song and is probably going to remind everybody of a Ferrari 599XX, a Zonda, or some other extreme racing machine. Yes, that’s right, it’s our favorite!

Daniel Song is a California builder, and this shows in the low stance, which comes thanks to a trick air suspension. This is not ideal for a racing car, but it’s excelent for a show car because you can raise it to enter venues.
So, let’s see what else Daniel was able to do in the limited time he had with the FR-S. The exterior is done in carbon fiber, centering around the JONSIBAL designed widebody kit. The racing look is provided by a 5-piece aluminum diffuser, a huge rear spoiler with custom mounts, carbon fiber rear air foil with upright stabilizers and plenty of other goodies.

The interior is stripped out and filled with a race-spec roll cage, Sparco bucket seats, a 4-point racing harness, a quick release steering wheel and Sparco Racing shifter. There’s plenty of carbon fiber interior panels, like the doors, the radio delete and HVAC delete.

The engine is also a masterpiece: Vortech supercharger, cat delete exhaust, as well as racing parts for everything from the flywheel to the battery.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
