An old-time looking car with modern performance would be kind of awesome, wouldn’t it? Well, thanks to the Huet Brothers you can have both. HB takes a BMW 1 series, modifies it, then sticks a dead sexy body on it and sells it to you. You can get three iterations of the car. The first is the HB Coupe; which is kind of the daily driver, soft, but fun car that your average suburban car guy would buy. Then there is the RR which steps up to some carbon fiber goodies, a little lighter weight and sharper tuning, but still pretty road capable. Lastly there is the race, which comes with giant GT wing, other aero parts, and a fully tunable suspension. All three look amazing.
Engine choices are a 220hp 4 cylinder diesel, 306hp inline six, or an M-spec 330hp inline six that will rocket you to sixty in 3.8 seconds.
For all the details you’d ever want to know head on over to the Huet Brothers site.
