Looks like an updated version of Car & Driver magazine's "Crisis Fighter" ecomodding series from the 70's, eg. the Crisis Fighter Pinto ... except with a much bigger budget!

From the TG article:

This will be interesting. Thumbs-up, Top Gear.

That is so cool, they are coming to my neck of the woods, and what is even cooler is that I know the pwner of CWS personally, I was good friends with his brother.

The owner of CWS did crazy things to cars way back. I bought a 1976 Civic from him which had an Accord engine in it that had the timing advanced, The car was crazy fast but horrible on fuel. One of the coolest cars I saw him build when I was younger was putting an old Cooper Mini on a Samurai frame with big mudder tires. The guy is a genius with cars.
