A New Band New Muscle Car That's Not Made By The Big 3

trying to pull a timpo here
Quote:
Detroit's Newest Muscle Car Is A Mash Up Of Every Great Muscle Car

One glance at the Equus Bass 770 and you'll see a Dodge Challenger. Another look, you'll see a Camaro. A different angle, and you see a Mustang. And that's kind of the point. The Bass 770 is the Girl Talk of muscle cars

The Equus Bass is what happens when people with the means to build the muscle car they've always desired do just that. You can't have a Mustang and a Challenger, so you combine elements of both. Under the hood is a 640 horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged aluminum V8.P

Hmmm. That sure sounds a lot like it's powered by an LS9 out of the ZR1. That's ok. We'll approve of this.P





EQUUS, Luxury American Muscle cars Rule - YouTube
Detroit's Newest Muscle Car Is A Mash Up Of Every Great Muscle Car

not going to lie, this car is sick & i love it brings muscle cars back to its roots (i seriously hope its not a repost, as i have done a search)

OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

I have a mixed feeling about this.

How is different than Hyundai and Kia trying to make a luxury sedan that sorta looks like Mercedes and BMW with a hint of Audi?

At glance, kind of like a Camaro but it could look like a Challenger?


The rear..its like a almost-Mustang logo with almost-BOSS combined with Challenger rear.


also, Mustang interior, ZR1 wheels, etc...

ok this thing is nothing but an identity crisis ::

Because this is a tribute, not a ripoff

The profile looks great. It really looks classic. I like the modern muscle cars more than any other modern car, but often times they try to look "modern". This one doesn't seem to give a shit about that at all. Apply a 70's instagram filter to these, and it will look like it belonged in those times

Yes I agree, frankly, all modern muscle cars look like toys.
That's why you get Retro Built bodykit.

If its going to be a tribute, I wish they would have done it more like the singer 911s. Pick a car, use new car technology, in original/updated classic body shape. It does look good though.

Besides having a different front fascia, I don't see how it looks any different from a mustang fastback..

Because it is a tribute to the early Mustang, and the latin genus for a horse is Equus.

And the reason modern muscle cars look like toys is because we've seen thirty years of models, Hot Wheels, and Micro Machines idolizing a 15 year period of domestic vehicle engineering. The toys were meant to look lie idealized versions of the originals.

I agree, I really like the interior and the updated drive train etc, but keep the classic lines of the mustang to a mustang and a camaro to a camaro, not an amalgamation of all the great's together into a muscle car identity crisis

not digging the front fogs. rest is epic.

i wish it had a better name and logo though. a backwards looking horse? the car should be confident that it's leaving ppl in the dust so it doesn't have to look back!

i remember seeing this awhile back on autoblog, not a huge fan of the fogs, sorta wished they made the grille completely rectangular without the bump at the bottom like the old camaros

i wonder how many people are gonna be willing to pay 250k for essentially a muscle car

Cool concept but for 250K you could restore and Pro Touring mod a real classic. Hell for that kind of money you could probably do two. 250K is way too much to be asking for this car. It's just a modern Eleanor without the soul.

I'd rather have an original anyway:





etc.
