Gather yourself, slow down your breathing, and hold onto something well-anchored, because this rear motorcycle-engined 2013 Nissan Leaf designed using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and built in a half-car garage in San Francisco might just scramble your mind into mush with its sheer audacity:Ī post shared by The Autopian took a few photos of the plug-in hybrid “LeafZX” during the event from the front driver’s side, it actually looks fairly normal.īut from any other angle it becomes clear that “normal” isn’t remotely the right descriptor. But among all that sat an example of engineering brilliance so absurd that I’m not sure any human mind other than Derek Young’s is equipped to fully grasp it. The show featured some truly absurd and rare old junkers like a French MinicComtesse and a Lincoln Continental turned into a horse. But between those two celebrations of automobile beauty and opulence was a celebration of jankiness: The Concours d’Lemons. This past weekend The Autopian’s three founders, Jason Torchinsky, Beau Boeckmann, and I joined Matt Hardigree and Beau’s team at Pebble Beach’s absurdly extravagant “Car Week.” The Quail show was nuts, featuring every car exec and plenty of celebrities, and the Concours - the main event - was even nuts-er. Here’s a close look at the machine, and the impressive CAD models, and custom-machined parts that made its creation possible. The vehicular madness was a result of Young’s desire to meld his love for creating things and his interest in owning an electrified car that sounds and feels like a race car. We know this is good for Audacity Flooring, for Cain & Bultman and the dealers throughout the Southeast region of the United States that they service.The “LeafZX” is what San Francisco-based engineer, Battlebots veteran, and lifelong car-nut Derek Young calls his creation, an electric Nissan Leaf aided by a 170 HP, high-revving motorcycle engine powering the rear wheels. “We are excited to have them extend their coverage to the states of South Carolina and Alabama. "Cain & Bultman has accentuated Audacity’s Rigid Core portfolio of products backed by deep inventories, exceptional sales support and an outstanding buying experience for their dealer network,” said Havas.
