Chip Foose's space-age hotrod, called simply the Foose Coupe, is an exercise in the extremes of automotive design and materials. So far, only four have been built however, and only two of those have been offered to the public, the last one at Barrett-Jackson's famed auction in 2007. The newest Coupe was delivered to its owner this week in California, marking the official kick-off of sales of the unique car.
Featuring a unique look, custom features and supercar-level performance, the Foose Coupe last claimed a retail price of $330,000 in open bidding. That may seem like a hefty price for a hot rod, but the Foose Coupe is as much exotic as it is American iron. A dry carbon fiber monocoque helps keep the car's weight down to about 2,300lbs (1,050kg) while the power provided by this example's 6.4L Hemi yields a power-to-weight ratio that many Ferraris and Lamborghinis can only aspire to. Weight distribution is also excellent thanks to the mid-engine design and rear-wheel drive ensures classic handling tendencies
