Remember this chromed Buick Regal (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/07/why-yes-this-is-a-chrome-buick-regal/)? At the time of publication, we said there were some cars that looked better in chrome than others, and this is what we had in mind.
A specialist aftermarket firm called GT Guy LLC solicited the talents of Camilo Pardo - the designer of the Ford GT (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford+gt) - to create the one-of-a-kind supercar you see here. To create Merkury 4, the team started with a solid red Ford GT and gave it a Mirrachrome paint job with a black-bordered fluorescent orange stripe. Then they tweaked the supercharger to deliver a whopping 725 horsepower to the rear wheel. They painted the valve covers, smoothed out the clamshell intakes behind the doors, fitted ceramic-coated pipes, bolted on a fresh set of HRE wheels wearing Michelin rubber and more.
The result, as you can see from the photos in the gallery, is quite stunning - as if the stock Ford GT wasn't already a looker on its own.Ford GT designer takes his creation to artful zenith (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/12/ford-gt-designer-takes-his-creation-to-artful-zenith/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:29:00 EST.
