Watch This Home Built Rally Car Frighten Matt Farah

This is the Kelsey MC2, it was made by a young man from New Zealand in a barn, and it jaw-droppingly impressive.

It looks like a good job, heck it looks exactly like a rally car.

We’ve all heard the stories around the cruise night lot. So-and-so built their car from the ground up, usually that meant they purchased a kit and used it as a crutch as they attempted to shoehorn improbable specs into impossible designs. The end result 8 times out of 10 usually result in some leaky, noisy, embarrassing mess that looks like the result of a Pontiac Fiero and a DeTomaso Pantera having an unfortunate run-in with Victor Frankenstein. Then this morning the good folks at Regular Car Reviews turned me onto a special feature by Matt Farah of TheSmokingTire. The presentation was nothing short of mouth-watering.

Alex Kelsey of New Zealand has fabricated a car that could very well out pace a WRC-spec machine, completely from scratch. And when I say from scratch I mean, like Michelangelo style, like Minecraft style, given an empty space and then after years of painstaking work and attention to detail, that space was one day filled with the MadCreations2. It’s truly an inspirational work of automotive art, something that we would love to see on this side of the pond one day (and a few thousand miles north-east of California, we see you Matt.) We in Canada would love to see how this thing tackles snow and ice, or for that matter how it handles weaving around Toronto potholes. Congratulations to Alex on his masterpiece, and we hope to see many more from him in the future, if you’re ever looking for a rim or tire hookup in Canada give us a call! Now enjoy the video from TheSmokingTire.
