Subtly modded 406

Post by turbolag »

I spotted this beauty on the interweb. I'm not a fan of modded motors, but this beauty is so subtle and integrated it could've come from the factory looking this good:

The lines of the bonnet blend beautifully with the original design intent and that rear spoiler will really help (FWD car :roll: )

The 406 must be THE most difficult car to modify to any degree of success :|

The thing about the 406 is that it already is a very good looking car to begin with there rarely is any need to change its appearance, but here is a question i have was the 406 designed by pinifarina (perhaps its the wrong spelling) i know the coupe was, but wasnt the saloon also designed by them?

No, the saloon and estate were designed and built by Peugeot in France, and the coupe was designed and built by Pininfarina in Italy.
