Description[]
Muscle and Blown is an unlicensed casting depicting a heavily modified muscle car-style hot rod.
According to designer Dmitriy Shakhmatov, his original idea for the car was to design a front-mid-engined muscle car, similar to that of a Dodge Viper, and then worked off that to create a custom hot rod by making a "drift hooligan"; he then rerouted the exhaust to behind the front fenders, removed the front bumper and added a large front diffuser in its place and added a large rear diffuser. He did not add a large rear wing, stating that the duck tail spoiler "would do just fine".
The casting's name is a play on "muscle and bone".

Just because muscle cars and hot rods aren't supposed to go together doesn't mean they shouldn't. This car takes the classic lines of a muscle car and rods it out with a velocity stack intake manifold, dual pass radiator, fender flairs and racing slicks. Watch it go.
