A man called Dan Keogh, decided to chase his childhood dream and build a supercar like no other. His goal was to build something that "looks like a million bucks but everyone can afford", he said. What he came up with is not only amazing looking but also quite fast.

He started building the Vaydor in August 2014 and took about 9 months to finish. He based it on an Infiniti G35 chassis and drivetrain with the original frame but the whole body is a mixture of fibreglass and carbon fibre to make the car light and strong. He also replaced the suspension of the G35 with tubular control arms and adjustable coilovers to make tha car track-ready as well as on the street. The exhaust is custom made only for the Vaydor and it has a redesigned 6-speed manual transmission. We don't know how much horsepower it puts out but some say it has a modified G35 engine putting out 400-500hp. The brakes are Brembo with 16" 8-piston callipers in the front and 14" in the back making this car faster to stop than a Corvette Z06.

The interior is also custom made. It has italian leather everywhere which cost Dan $10,000 to buy and fit. It even has indexing windows which, as he stated, you don't see many custom cars having them, especially when you also have lambo-doors.

Dan Keogh is very proud of his car and I belive he should be. He created something spectacular and it goes to show that anyone can build their dreamcar. In my opinion he did a very good job. It looks amazing, gets a lot of attention on the street and, as he says, it drives amazing.

If you are thinking about how much it costs for you to buy one, don't even try. Only one was made and was sold on ebay, but I have it on good authority that Dan is currently working on a new model and also he released a convertible version which was also sold.
