BaT auctions has the last produced (of five) Foose Coupes on auction and although I am not typically a big fan of hot rods, I was surprised to read this coupe is mid engine modular V8 mated to a ZF 5 speed transaxle. Apparently the design went back to Chip's college days.
>From the side profile of the car and where the seat line is it is hard to believe there is a V8 and ZF shoehorned behind the driver. Chip did an awesome job with the lines of the car masking a mid engine and although I recall seeing photos of the car previously, never for one minute did it cross my mind it was anything other than another front engine coupe. Quite the design and engineering feat, I have to wonder how it drives!
