Movie Buff Builds Replica Car | Ridiculous Rides
A TEAM of film fanatics have built their very own car equipped with machine guns and an RPG. Inspired by the 2008 movie Death Race, which starred British actor Jason Statham, the car started life as a Chrysler 300. Angelo Zannin, 47, and his team Z Montagen, a group of shopfitters from Braunschweig, Germany, managed to build the vehicle in just a few months. The car conversion cost the dedicated team around $20,000 to build as it was in terrible condition when it arrived at their garage. Similar to its movie counterpart, the car boasts an arsenal of weapons and gadgets and can even emit smoke from the back and has a push button ignition.
