'70s classic does 0-100km/h in 1 sec

Not wanting his 1972 Vauxhall Victor to head to the scrapheap, Andy Frost, a British engineer, decided to create a car that would rival the world's supercars.

According to The Sun, the wily Brit's extremely modified blast from the past, has been beefed up to be able to produce a breathtaking speed of 0-100 km/h in just one second.

The pimped out Vauxhall Victor takes a mere 7.8 seconds to hit 295 km/h, with its modified 9.3-litre Chervrolet engine, and would leave most supercars trailing far behind.

Frost recalls how he had bought his trusty Vauxhall for £69 over 25 years ago and since then has splashed out a whopping £100 000 in modifications on it, hence its extreme racing performance.

He laments how he gave up accommodating his wife's brooding needs with a bigger house and instead opted for his unique car.

"We could've had a bigger house. But we have a unique car faster than any other on the road," said Frost, reports The Sun.
