In the USA such cars as Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro became for a long time cult and in public favourite cars. A success basis – bright appearance, sports character and the small price. And to remain not noticed in similar muscle car is impossible. But what to do, when it would be desirable to possess the favourite car, but not such, how at others? Correctly, it is necessary to go to one of numerous tuning studio. For example, in Fesler-Moss.
Though they and perfectly know it and will suggest to finish cardinally yours Chevrolet Camaro SS. However, besides the car will ask for the works exactly $110 000. Or $140 000 if you do not have car. If the similar sum does not confuse you, Fesler and Moss will start business. Then, after the lapse of two weeks, you can learn the car only in general, so to say, lines. For what it is necessary to give such, frankly speaking, considerable money?
First, Fesler and Moss "will get up" the car in a new body from composit materials that will give to the car even more an aggressive look. Secondly, implant in under cowl space 6,2-litre "eight" LS9 capacity of 640 h.p. (819 Nm) borrowed at Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 together with which six-step "mechanics" will work. Well and still will finish something «on a trifle» - there will be the strengthened brakes, the modernised exhaust system, the underestimated ground clearance and 22 inch disks. And the most important thing, on the car will stand the tablet with serial number and the modest inscription saying that "circulation" of a child of Fesler and Moss will make only 60 copies that allows to carry Fesler-Moss Camaro SS to collection rarities. But there is more to come. As car habits have strongly changed, to the owner as a bonus will suggest to pass two-day training on a racing line. And it is correct, after all to search for mutual understanding with similar "racer" to begin with better on a racing track, instead of on roads of the general user. As they say, from a sin far away.
Unfortunately, Americans have told nothing about dynamic characteristics of the super car. But it is possible not to doubt that they managed to make the uncommon car. And the main thing, rare.

Dollar exchange rate falling under the relation in the European currency and presence of free capacities to the USA force company management Ford to transfer manufacture of cars from Europe to America. According to agency Bloomberg, crossover Ford Kuga becomes the first European model which will move for ocean, – in 2011 this car will start to assemble not in Germany, and in America in the State of Kentucky.
Simultaneously with it in the USA sale Kuga which could be bought till now only in the Old World will begin. Thus about 80 000 assembled in America Kuga will be then delivered to Europe.
