Scratch that actually – he wouldn’t be taking the Granada to the next level, he’d be skipping several levels with this rebuild. He was actually considering importing a Skyline GT-R from Japan, but in the end he decided he would stick with the Granada and take it to the next level. He came very close to doing what most people would do in the same situation – buying a “better” car. When a 600hp sleeper just isn’t enough you know there’s something wrong with you – in a good way. In 2008 he had already transformed the old sedan into quite a sleeper with a 600hp Cosworth motor swap, but he wanted something more. The owner out of Norway actually has a long history with the car, one that goes back over 16 years. It wasn’t cheap of course, but this build isn’t about budget – it’s about doing crazy stuff just to see if you can. Even in Europe, the Granada isn’t a car you seeing being “built” very often, and that’s just one of the reasons why this particular build is so awesome.Īnother reason is its exotic, and brutally powerful engine choice – a twin turbocharged version of the Ford V8 that comes from a Koenigsegg CCX.
When I first heard about this build I was thinking it was based on the US market Ford Granada – a rather forgettable car from the late 1970s. To be honest I wasn’t too familiar with the European market Ford Granada before seeing this. This particular build is one that’s already gained quite a bit of attention on the net recently, but there was no way we couldn’t share this one. Occasionally though comes a project that is completely mind blowing. We try to showcase as many of the world’s mouth-watering car builds as we can here on Speedhunters, and sometimes end up digging quite deep to find them.
