Designing your own car!
-
Wow... just on CNA, Jackie Chan has designed his very first car, the Lancer Evolution X Limited Edition!
And Singapore has the honour of having the 1st car! There shall only be 50 produced for sale.
Apparently, he was very involved in the entire design process of the car's body.
Being famous has its obvious advantages!

Does it come with a cd player?

the EVO is ugly
well to me it is..
i'll leave the designing of cars to the experts
they did a great job with the McLaren F1 and almost every single Corvette

Title : Jackie Chan's Limited Edition EVO IX car looking for Singapore buyer

SINGAPORE : Chinese action star Jackie Chan is turning into a designer!
After three years of hard work, he has finally unveiled his new car: the Jackie Chan Limited Edition EVO IX which he personally designed himself.
The latest Mitsubishi Evo IX is a fast and powerful car and has been especially customised to Jackie Chan 's taste.
Only 50 such cars will be available throughout the world, and while 49 are still yet to be made, the one and only completed car is currently looking for an owner in Singapore.
And Singapore has the privilege of owning the very first one.
So is this Jackie's new hobby now?
He said: "I said, I gotta make my own car. I have to complete my dream. I know how to say it, but I don't know how to make it. I have driven EVO 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Until the 8th, I don't really like the 8th design. I like EVO 5 and 6...it's more wow! wild! But now it is becoming more gentle, I want to change just a little bit."
But it is evident this vision has ballooned into quite a big project, with Jackie Chan redesigning the entire body kit, changing the engine, and creating a new look.
It's one mad car, he added, as it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in only 5 seconds.
Alvyn Ang, Cycle & Carriage, General Manager, said: "It's faster than some sports car. It's a car that makes a normal driver feel like a rally driver."
But the IX is not an all-new car, which is what the Evo X is promised to be.
The IX is the last Evo to be built on the current platform and added to the fact that this one is a limited edition, the star is confident that this driving machine is going to be the ultimate car collector piece. - CNA /ch -
The EVO can sit a standard nuclear family in comfort. The F1? Sorry, baby has to go in the suitcase holder.

I'm just wondering what else will stars endorse / design next?
Sometimes, I'm just amazed that even if the designs are in bad taste, there will still be folks who purchase the products! For instance, I find the handbags with Paris Hilton's shots absolutely... ghastly!
Yipers... hope there aren't any hardcore Paris Hilton fans in here! -
that's true..
it's just a tricked out family car
no no.. let me add...
