2006 Four Stroke Design Rumen



Roumen Antonov loves the Bugatti Type 57. Over the past 30 years he's played with designs for his own car that pays tribute, forming a company to produce it under the name of "Four Stroke Design". In 2005 he presents the production version of his car at the Frankfurt Motorshow - the Rumen. Considering that this is the product of almost 30 years of revisions, I would expect something not so fugly. Almost a “Retro Minicar”, the 100hp, 1000 pound car slightly resembles the Type 57 - but squashed and stretched until it’s not long and sleek anymore. It almost looks like a Weevil.

For only $40 US, you too can have this lame-ass piece of innovative auto customization - the spinning exhaust tip! Follow the link for more pics and videos!


Similar to "spinner" rims, these use exhaust fumes to spin a chrome cap. I swear, there isn't too much more on a car you can chrome plate and spin, or attach LED lights too. It won't be too much longer until entire cars are chrome plated, covered with LED lights like a christmas tree and spin like tops.

Now THAT'S bling.
