Description[]
Punk Rod is a depiction of a futuristic cyberpunk-styled hot rodded supercar with the rear end removed, exposing the engine. It is notably quite similar in appearance to the DAVancenator.
The main body of the casting features a design largely derived from the Corvette C8.R's body design; both casting's interior pieces have the same design.
