A man based out in Florida creates automobiles that look like spaceships by making alterations to the body and frame of the car

Now, cars that look like spaceships

They might look like props from the sci-fi film Blade Runner or The Fifth Element, but these space-age looking cars are actually completely road legal. Ordinary road models given an extraterrestrial twist, they represent the work and creativity of custom car designer Michael Vetter, from Florida, USA.

Vetter uses donor cars and makes multiple alterations to the body and frame of the car to give them that unique look. He calls these cars extra-terrestrial vehicles or EVs.

The 42-year-old family man, who owns custom garage The Car Factory in Micco, came up with this idea after the birth of his daughter, when he was unable to squeeze her car-seat into his sports car.

Vettle’s wacky-looking creations are road legal and can hit a top-speed of 160kmph with a horsepower ranging from 95PS to 300PS. He started building the ETVs in 1998 as his sole source of income.

The 42-year-old has converted everything from a Toyota Prius to a Porsche Boxster into one of his futuristic models, which have sold from as much as Rs 4.7 lakh to a whopping Rs 1.5 crore.
