Hot Rods are a special kind of vehicles designed to bring smiles on a driver’s face.

The United States is especially partial to this trend, and it’s there that a particular Hot Rod was born out of a Ford Model A.

The interesting part of this vehicle is the engine. Instead of going with a big, powerful, American engine, Mike Borroughs decided of using a 4.0 liter V8 unit from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. Capable of producing some 300 Hp, the BMW engine is plenty powerful to make the vehicle a proper hot rod.

The looks of this awesome machine are also something to behold. With a retro body style and the fact that the owner decided to showcase his creation on a dry lake bed, the BMW powered Ford Model A seems to come straight from a Mad Max movie.

For a taste of this awesome hot rod, look at the video presented below.
