From the album: SC430-X3 Melange 2016 Retrofit
-
This Lexus SC430 has been and is still undergoing a retrofit. It is becoming an entirely new vehicle which is why I have updated the Year to 2016. The body, the engine and the transmission are all getting upgraded to allow this vehicle to race at over 180 mph all day long without overheating and still be street worthy and legal. Named after the miss-name of Napoleon's beloved horse which saved his life, Marengo; this vehicle is based on the only car that could beat the Mach-5; The X3 Melange is a car that I have long wanted to own since I was a kid. I don't want to waste money on a super car so I am building my own; and the Lexus SC430 is the perfect platform for this type of retrofit upgrade. I will post engine upgrades and transmission upgrades when completed. I don't own the rights to the song about my car posted below, but I do enjoy this song. Very cool! Melange Still Races!

This Lexus SC430 has some incredible upgrades; some that you can see, others that you can't. The engine is getting upgraded to around 720 horse power with a transmission added that will be capable of handling the power increase. Based on the animated vehicle, the only car that was "better and faster than the fabulous Mach 5, The Melange X3 has become a reality! Used only for racing, not for revenge, lol. The Lexus SC430 is the perfect platform to build your own super-car. They are strong, bullet proof and durable sports cars. The tricky electronics and transmision features have made some shy away from upgrading this car to a true race vehicle but it can be easily done, and more people are doing just that. I will post more details about the engine and transmission and electronic upgrades in future post. I do not own the rights to the song written about the only car that could out perform the world famous Mach 5. However it would seem that I am not the only person who was fascinated by this theoretical sports car; which is now becoming a reality. Enjoy the link to the song about my car posted below... THE MELANGE STILL RACES! :)
