It's a BA with it's rear door section cut off and welded together. The AU roof line makes it look like a beetle

Now they all run round in near identical cars with limits, restrictions and either Ford or Expensive Daewoo badges, yet Ford or Expensive Daewoo won't support and factory teams in the current roduction car series. Why? Because they know that their current cars aren't much cop on the track, and they don't want to be seen being beaten. What a waste of money.

They have been making them for years.more info http://www.trueblueford.com/DreamtechBAcoupe.htmlSweet looking car but at 90K, no thanks. I'd rather import a Mustang GT V8 which is $USD30 / $AUD45 + taxes or get a BMW 135i for $78K.

Posted 18/02/09 06:44 AM Posted 18/02/09 06:44 AM Did you know: In 2007, the only standard part on a Expensive Daewoo V8 Supercar was the accelerator cable?There is a reason for that, the VE Expensive Daewoo body does not conform to the V8 Supercar rules. They needed to gain a special exception to modify the VE Expensive Daewoo body to conform with the rules. (From memory it had to do with the width of the wheel base). So it stands to reason the majority of the car would need to be modified to make the car slightly thiner.
