Modern classic sports car turned into Batmobile with incredible bodykit and Lamborghini-style doors
CAR makeover specialists have given an old favourite a radical new look – and it’s something Batman wouldn’t be ashamed of.
Spanish design house Dragon Motors has taken the Audi TT, given it a cool new design and features and turned it into what they call the DragonTT Project Hero.
The kit adds a sizable extra 50cm to the original car’s length while the width is increased by 66cm.
The radical styling is inspired by the company’s previous work on motorcycles and movie cars, according to Autoexpress.
So far though, only on DragonTT has been built, supposedly for the Spain Future Foundation – a charity that aims to democratise technology for vulnerable groups in society.
Despite the car’s appearance with endless sharp creases and angular front bumper, Dragon Motors says the car is fully approved for road use.
Sharp-eyed Audi fans may be able to recognise the Mk2 TT’s head and tail-lights but externally that’s where the similarities appear to stop.
To match the jagged front bumper, the bonnet is similarly lairy, with countless cuts and scoops in the bodywork – all of which are made from either high-resistance fibre glass or carbon fibre.
The car has also been fitted with a set of Lamborghini-style scissor doors and bespoke mirrors and what appear to be unique alloy wheels.
The extensive modifications continue round the back.
A heavily vented deck has replaced the rear screen, possibly with the original window underneath.
The rear bumper also features more slices and ornaments.
Thanks to the position of the tailpipes, the number plate has been moved to the top of the bootlid.
The Batmobile styling continues inside too, thanks to a redesigned dashboard and instrument binnacle, while the Audi logo remains on the steering wheel and the traditional dials have been left untouched.
You’re in luck if you don’t have a second generation Audi TT but fancy giving your wheels a radical redesign as the team at Dragon Motors an offer a similar treatment to any motor you might have.
The firm’s website says it can provide a “custom, high-quality, designer product that sets you apart from the competition”.
It adds, the company “has the ability to develop, from scratch, the design and preparation to suit [its] clients, creating unique models with the highest quality of its newly-manufactured components”.
Under the bonnet, there’s the familiar range of Audi petrol engines from the period 2006-2014 – including the range-topping 2.5-litre five-cylinder motor from the TT RS.
Dragon claims it can convert the car to LPG – liquid petroleum gas – apparently “in search of respect for the environment” according to the website.
The company also says it has made “extensive” modifications to the suspension and brakes.
Dragon Motors doesn’t give a price for their work, so it’s probably safe to assume that any cost is on top of the base car – and used examples start from as little as £2,500.
