The guy in the photo is the second luckiest guy to get his Foose Coupe. The car is built by Chip Foose in a 50 units limited run and so far there were four cars created (two for the 2006 SEMA Show, one which was sold for $330,000 to a private collector at a 2007 Barrett-Jackson auction and this one).
The rear wheel drive mid-engine car features a dry carbon fiber monocoque (the car weights only 2,300lbs/1,050kg) and customers can choose between a 500 hp 6.4 liter Hemi V8 producing 480 lb-ft torque and a Ford 5.4 liter V8, both engines mated to a 5-speed manual transaxle.
The Foose Coupe also features plush leather seating, carbon fiber trim, 14-inch brake discs with six-piston Baer calipers and 20-inch polished alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires. Also, the flames lining the car’s exterior were hand-painted by Chip Foose himself. The car is fully customizable, this model, for example, featuring a pistol grip shifter for the five-speed manual.
To be honest, I love the car, because it reminds me of one of my favorite cars, the Prowler. Still, the pricing on this one is pretty restrictive. Check out more photos after the jump.
