Default Alpine's new Demo car....it used to be a mini!!

BEFORE:




AFTER:







Now, obviously most people here will not like it, but PLEASE remember, this is a demo car!! It is pure advertising! It is not a waste of money as through this car (and the others they get a lot of people talking), which can only be a good thing for Alpine!

ARGH!! as the RSX time ago, it has such level of messing up that it will manage to go beyond the limits of tuning or rice.. it is simply too much to handle

Advertising or not, it is a waste of time and money IMO since it doesn't really drag me to a store to buy Alpine stuff, but if they are happy with it, no problem here

Why use such a massive brake system when the mini prolly won't see over 50km/h?

I think only one word might describe Alpine's cars ... Insane

The paint job on the Mini is very nice and the classic roadster looking windshield is really cool.

You have to admit that this car has had a lot of hard work and a lot of skill put into it. That thing is amazing. I like the rims too.

Who create this monster? but IMO from the model of the windshield, I guess it was built by Chip Foose...
