Vintage-Esque Hybrid Cars

The James Piatt 'Mofo' Combines the Best of Both Worlds

I love everything vintage-inspired, from clothes to, well, cars and that includes the James Piatt MOFO vehicle. Yes, it’s called the MOFO, and rightly so. As Core77.com puts it, it’s ‘one bad MOFO!’

Taking the key components of what motor enthusiasts love about cars (its rumble and manly gas smell), and combining it with the eco-conscious technology that’s prevalent now, the James Piatt MOFO is the best of both worlds.
