An Italian coachbuilder has designed and built two supercars from scratch without the use of a computer or sketches. Moreno Filandi relies solely on his skills as a mechanic to build handmade custom cars from metal work with two incredible supercars already finished. Moreno’s second and most recent creation, the Moreno Ever S, was built on top of a red 1990 Mercedes.

00:50 born.
00:51 01:06 MARINO FILANDI (in Italian) "The inspiration for the Everest is something special, a bit pink, a bit unfinished. The idea of the cross-shaped edges, the cross-shaped triangles, the idea of something special is strange."
01:13 01:22 MARINO FILANDI (in Italian) "The Everest weighs 1,420 kg, the engine is a 5.0 Mercedes, and it has 340 horsepower. The Everest has a speed of 270 km/h, and it takes us 4.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h.
01:36 01:39 MARINO FILANDI (in Italian) "When people look at the Everest, they are curious, they stop and are curious. It's a positive thing."
01:54 01:56 MARINO FILANDI (in Italian) "Sometimes people ask me if I build cars for other people, but I don't do that. This is just an hobby for me, my job is to live and make people live. This is my passion, my hobby, my freedom, to do what I feel like doing."
