1981 Wolfrace Sonic

mods plz add custom-car tag








A funky Nick Butler design made as some kind of advertisment for the namesake Wolfrace rims. The 6 wheeler scheme inspired by cars such as the Tyrell T34 and the exterior reminiscent of your average Hot Wheels model are attractions indeed, but the real treat was under the bodyshell.
Yes, it drives.
Lots of kit cars and customs back in the 80s used the ol’ reliable 3.5 litre Rover V8, so it’s not too surprising at first - except not only there are two of them, but they both power the single rear axle. Oh, and there are two gearboxes, too - both 3 speed autos, with one assigned as primary sending commands to the other through a mindfucky hydraulic system, while the engines themselves utilize a drive-by-wire system to work in sync.
