A: Level Volga V12 Coupe — Back To The Future
Related Entries: Automobiles
UPDATE: More stunning photos available here.
When I first saw this automobile, I thought of my good friend Lodi! Yes, Mr. Steven Lodifink from Finkbuilt. If you have ever met him, you’d know what I’m talking about.
The Volga V12 Coupe is hand-built by a Moscow firm called A:Level. The body styling is straight from the ’50s and finished in black. However, don’t let the styling fool you… the underpinnings and interior are from a BMW 850, and the engine… that too is a BMW V12. CRAZY! The V12, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, produces 380bhp and 406lb ft of torque, and accelerates this heavy mongrel from 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds… that’s no 1950’s mobile!
I don’t have much more about A:Level or the Volga, but I bet it would make Mr. Lodifink a happy man. Cheers!

Car & Driver had a story about the Volga V12 last year. Beautiful car. And the fact that all that beauty was hand built — every inch of the sheet metal hammered out by hand — makes it all the more special. And that there is only one of them.
A good American iron parallel to the Volga V12 would be a modernized DeSoto with the engine & drivetrain from a Corvette or Viper.
