Hardcore Fabricator Recreates Pegassi Infernus From GTA in Real Life

Driving virtual versions of real-life supercars in video games is great and all, but what if you could have it the other way around? There are some awesome in-game-only cars that would be a blast to hoon in the physical world. Some crafty wrenchers have taken this into their own hands by building Halo Warthogs with actual metal, but it doesn't stop there. Case in point: This Pegassi Infernus drift car that's a riff on one of Grand Theft Auto's most popular exotics.

It's the work of Robert Bell, who owns RB's Adrenaline Factory in Kansas City. He started with plans to build a tube chassis from scratch so he could showcase the shop's fab skills. With that blueprint, he knew he needed a shell to set on top of it.

"One day scrolling through Craigslist, I actually found a [Lamborghini] Murcielago body local to us," Bell explains. "In the original build process, I realized that with the car scene being the way it is, kit cars are kind of frowned upon because they're generally done poorly on a crappy chassis.

"Doing slight modifications and making it the Infernus from the video game changed the entire outlook of the car."
