Just amazing. Reminds me of the insane Viper V10 that they shoehorned into a motorcycle frame many years ago, the Tomahawk. Supposedly capable of "over 400mph", it technically is not a motorcycle because there are 4 wheels, but they are right next to each other in the front and back. th-cam.com/video/1XehkMQpeyA/w-d-xo.html
ScottieDTV Sure i did, do they fix or build vehicles? My dad past away a few months ago and I'm keeping his 72 ford f250 the truck is en mexico I'm going to bring it in 2 weeks i live in los angeles
ScottieDTV I live in orange co. Regarding the 72 f250 I'm planing for full or 75% restoration,I own a Ford Raptor armored maybe when i bring the f250 maybe you can recommend one of your places👍
Now that you mention, has anybody ever built a Karmann-Ghia with the engine in this configuration but then the front wheels moved at the back and cockpit turned around so that the original rear engine configuration was restored? It would look like the car goes on reverse. The back becomes the new front.
And girl... lol. I remember dad talking about Karmann Ghia's and seeing them as a kid. First time I've ever seen the name written so at first I didn't really read the name and had no idea until he said it. Pretty damn cool!
Been watching car shows on TV and reading car mags for many years, and it never ceases to amaze me the talent and craftmanship we have in good ole USA! Well done guys!
Man I liked this video so much had to see this Ghia again and add to it: These guys that built this car from scratch to finish gotta be recognized! The car is a master piece work of art and they should be entered into the Ghia hall of fame!! Thanks again Scottie Best Video.
That is beautiful! I love all Karmann Ghias, but this is definitely one of my top favorites! Flawless body work. My Dad used to have a Karmann Ghia with a Porsche engine in it. It was QUICK!
OMG. i'm almost in tears. without expressing my emotions. all i want to say is: this car is drop dead GORGEOUS. and that paint job is heart throbbing. KUDOS to you Gentlemen.
As a civil engineer myself, I love to see things that are beautifully designed and manufactured, the design and workmanship put into this is as good as I have ever seen for anything, absolutely amazing work with the added madness of having a V10 in the Ghia. I absolutely love this car 😂😍
That is the most bad ass Karmann Ghia I've ever seen and stunningly elegant and gorgeous at the same time. The color scheme, the wheels, I'm drooling. I am very disappointed I didn't get to hear it run. I want to hear that engine!!!
Scottie I had to view this ghia again. These guys Nailed it. Kudo's to them they are masters of their craft. They completely did the car over end to end. Breathtaking n Genious!!
All my respect to the Mambo Brothers, this Karmann Ghia is a respectable piece of Artwork, the interior reminds me of a Pagani Zonda..... Thanks for sharing Scottie.
Great vid man. Thanks for taking the time to record this for us. As a ghia guy I think they did justice to the car. They started with a pretty cool car design and made it even better and more unique. That car has got to RIP with all the HP.
Just found this. Like you, I have always love the Karmann Ghia and what I really like about this is, it still looks like a Ghia. Incredible work to make it all steel.
those frontlights.. :D everytime i drive on the autobahn and i see those lights in the dark, i instantly drive over to the right side, expecting a porsche.. and than a mini diesel passes :D
It would have been interesting to see how the car would have looked with the original flat four engine in this, but I must admit, that V10 up front does look amazing! The car itself looks incredible! Great work guys!
That my friend is the sickest custom jacked,picture perfect thing of beauty I've seen in a long time.What you guys have done to that little ole Ghia absolutely blows my mind.I had a 57 Ghia many years ago,I loved that car even though it was kept exactly original from the day it was made until I bought it and I drove it for two years,didn't change a thing,not even the original blaupunkt radiol(which didn't work any more).It had the 1200cc motor, no syncromesh for 1st gear but I could fill it up with gas and drive for two weeks before I needed to re fuel.I miss that car so much but never would have dreamed I would see something as nuts as what you have created.My hat is off to you guys,well done!
A Volkswagen deveria relançar o Karmann Ghia é um carro que nos fez muito sucesso nos anos 70 seguido do puma que foi um outro carro também que deveria ter um remake
PUMA is up to make te remake of their car, the PUMA LUMIMARI, with an motorization that has 2.5 liters, and will not use the bad VW 1.6 air cooled of BEETLE, right now they are testing an version of race of it, to transfer the race upgrades to the street car.
When my boy was still quite young, BUT old enough to 'understand' motor cars, I (in jest, but w/a straight-face) told him that K-G's were FINE sports cars. He laughed SO hard that he almost puked.
My Mother has always wanted one, we had to talk her down in 1975 to a Firebird, she drives a Mini Rag Top now, Every time she spies another one on the road she pipes up "Mini!" as we roll our eyes in contempt.
I'm from Brazil and unlike most people here in my country I don't like Volkswagens, but this one is just spectacular and with an American V10 heart! With regard to customization, man You are on another level !!!! congratulations
Karmann Ghias go these days average for about $8,000, I'm willing to give you $10, 000 for it. LOL Just kidding, but that is one badass Ghia, best one I've seen....
I love when people do extreme builds like this. Amazing work and car. My question is where the hell do people get the money from to do shit like this? So beautiful.
That's One Badass build!!! Form AND Function at it's level best!!! NO ONE would expect a V10 under the hood of this Beast!!! To be able to Smoke the crap out of anything you encounter must be Awesome!!! And just as embarrassing to those who try it... I bet you can't wait to get it on the road to experience that first hand!!! lol.... All the modifications made that can be seen, like the Mini Cooper headlamps just enhanced the look. I wish I could see it in person to really be able to appreciate it. Seeing it online is one thing but I'm sure you have to see it in person to get the full effect. If it drives half as good as it looks then you've achieved "Greatness"!!! Man, What a Treat!!! I bow to your imagination!!!! Bravo 👀👏👍
Normal, I'm a Viper fan and Karmann fan too... I never have the idea to associate there two cars to built one in tis form, it's a big surprize to see the result and many thanks to show it and his owner. Always with pleasure to discover your videos. Chris.France.
Im glad I seen this car on here bc I just went to slamology yesterday in Indy and this car was there so I got to actually see this car in person and since I watched your video I knew every detail to look for and all the stuff normal people wouldnt know about.
You know, looking right at it, it's rightly stunning...but doesn't it look better, when he says it's "steel". For me, I just cannot stand carbon fibre. It's just hundreds of thousands of $'s for a fancy plastic. It's just not good enough. I'd sacrifice weight for metal, all day long.
ScottieDTV ug it's terrible they took one of the most elegant cars in history and chopped it up to make it another water pumper hotrod with an engine that doesn't belong in it
Come on guys they come with an engine that makes them a dog they're nice looking cars but they do not have any performance at all they may look fast but they're not you at least have to put a Porsche engine in them
OMG!! I bet when they fire that thing up, it rears up on its back legs and growls! That's a beast, I would have never thought I would say that about a Ghia? Now that's American imagination & craftsmanship at its finest!
I need a full video on this vehicle alone please, at their garage. I'd love to see their work underneath with the vehicle on a lift. What is shown in the video is so outstanding, I just can't get enough! I need more!!!
Absolutely incredible, hats off to all who built this gem.
Agreed....Glad You liked it!!
The down side to a indoor show...BUT!...I'm in touch with these Guys...so you never know...stick around!
The absolute finest ghia on the globe...props!!
This is in a league of it's own....thanks for checking it out!!

I would LOVE to see that piece of art running on the road.
It mostly gets run on the track...
I would imagine it’s alot of fun in the corners.
UrbanSix1Niner innocently Cooper
The track between the showroom to the trailer
@UrbanSix1niner.. exactly what it is.. PIECE OF ART!!!
To me that's one of the best looking car bodies from all-time
Cool.....Hope you enjoyed this one!!
ScottieDTV Sure i did, do they fix or build vehicles? My dad past away a few months ago and I'm keeping his 72 ford f250 the truck is en mexico I'm going to bring it in 2 weeks i live in los angeles

ScottieDTV I live in orange co. Regarding the 72 f250 I'm planing for full or 75% restoration,I own a Ford Raptor armored maybe when i bring the f250 maybe you can recommend one of your places👍
Predator7 7 Sure....Let me know!
This kind of project stirs up the little boy in all of us. A monumental build that works well and looks great.
Glad you enjoyed it!

It would have been interesting to see how the car would have looked with the original flat four engine in this, but I must admit, that V10 up front does look amazing!
The car itself looks incredible!

"Suspension capable of over a 1000 horsepower. " Dummo! Rotational equivalent of force is TORQUE, not horsepower.
John Michael Twist Are you part of F.&A.M?
I agree...very well thought out build!
Great car but lose th3 snake eyes on the valve covers.
Superb, flawless craftsmanship and engineering! The V-10 seems right at home! Would love to take a ride in it. Stunning.
Right on...Glad You liked it!!
You know, looking right at it, it's rightly stunning...but doesn't it look better, when he says it's "steel". For me, I just cannot stand carbon fibre. It's just hundreds of thousands of $'s for a fancy plastic. It's just not good enough. I'd sacrifice weight for metal, all day long.
Cool!
Can't begin to imagine the fabricating skills it would take to do this a make it function a look proper!! WELL DONE!!!!
Crazy....and you couldn't tell when you walked up...it was only the Viper intake in the hood that made you look again...
See what happens when you have Too much money, & time!!!!!! thanks 💪💪💪💪💪
Your welcome!
No Problem Brother...Cool is Cool...and this is WAY!!!..cool....glad you liked it to!!
They should have hung that big v10 out the rear where the original engine was.
No Problem....glad I could bring it to you...and these Guys Rock..so glad ppl like the car..
Am I really the only one who's upset that they defiled a classic vw
Yes...lol
ScottieDTV ug it's terrible they took one of the most elegant cars in history and chopped it up to make it another water pumper hotrod with an engine that doesn't belong in it
Caleb harris yep and I want one
Come on guys they come with an engine that makes them a dog they're nice looking cars but they do not have any performance at all they may look fast but they're not you at least have to put a Porsche engine in them
On the other hand, where would this Karmann Ghia likely be if they hadn't rescued it from wherever?
Cool..thanks for checking it out...I have a stock one on here to
