Creating a Supercar from Scratch

Stunts, pyrotechnics, and superstars in sunglasses: that's what comes to mind when you think of the world behind the scenes of a big-budget action movie, right? Well here's one more for you: automotive modification. Matt McEntegart wasn't a great artist and didn't know much about computers, but he knew he was good at tricking out average sedans and morphing them into mobile masterpieces. A regular dude with an auto body shop in Tampa, Florida, he never imagined that one of his designs would be used in Warner Brothers and DC Comics' upcoming film, "Suicide Squad."

This story is a part of our Frontiers series, where we bring you front and center to the dreamers, pioneers, and innovators leading society at the cutting edge. Let us take you along for a trip to the oft-imagined but rarely accomplished.

So I have built a supercar. Simple.

“ Sick car bro! “
“ Thanks man appreciate it. “
“ How fast does it go? “
“ Uhm, Yeah about that. “

He did it all by himself and out of trash, that's enough for me to respect him

When you buy the most expensive skin for the weakest character.

Tbh you cant driver anywhere in city faster then 50kmph so this is legit car. I dont need it for drag race or suicide myself. You get fucking crazy awesome car for everday.

Instead of making a replica like most people would, he has designed something of his own. It's like the rx-7 used in Tokyo drift, it's an amazing looking car and the average person would never guess it was an rx-7, this is just as beautiful

[MaxMakerChannel]

Its a nice car. Great choice of paint. Not a fan of the gear shifter though. Looks a bit cheap.

[christianjotrijo]

You have to appreciate when someone works hard and uses their creativity to achieve what they want... Awesome project

2050: So I built a Space ship From Plastic.

[huntertobias]

Too bad the Joker wrecked it into Gotham City harbor...

[becausereasons]

it's kind of looks like a combination of a Gallardo, Lykan Hypersport, and a Gumpert Apollo.

[CVerse]

Matt: can't afford a supercar but wants one
"Fine, I'll do it myself"

[genericallyaccepted]

Why didn't they wash it before shooting this? To make it seem like it's daily driven?

[KingAlphaOmega]

I like the unique design. Not sure why exotic car companies haven't come up with this design.
