Golden Sub




This fellow, Dan Webb, and a bunch of uber-talented folks have been working on a new interpretation of the Golden Sub.

The Golden Submarine was a race car from a long time ago. The origianl Sub was pretty successful and pretty radical for it's time.
It eventually was shelved for newer, faster technology.
The Sub's history ended when the building it was stored in burnt to the ground.






There were only scratchy old photos.



That was enough inspiration though.
The chassis for this car was shown at last years Autoroma, in Detroit.

These photos just came out a bit ago.


Hard to not gawk at work like this.
The vision, true to the orignal car - but different. More stylized, more modern. Not a recreation, but still instantly recognizable as the Sub.
