00:00The philosophy of the company is to continue the legacy of the American muscle car era.
00:15Timeless, elegant and classic.
00:22Detroit, Michigan. A city steeped in automotive history.
00:27And home to the Equus Bass 770.
00:32An exclusive hand-built car that combines the latest tech with classic American muscle.
00:48This is a custom-made car from A to Z.
00:50On average, to produce one car, it takes somewhere between 4,500 to 5,000 man-hours.
00:58And these exclusive vehicles don't come cheap.
01:02The price range for Equus Bass is between $230,000 to $250,000.
01:08We pay lots of attention to details when we produce this masterpiece.
01:14Built with lightweight aluminium and carbon fibre.
01:17Powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine, the Bass can hit 0-60 in three and a half seconds.
01:25And has a top speed of 200 miles per hour.
01:33The inspiration for the design came from the Steve McQueen's movie called Bullet.
01:39And the Bass certainly has the look of the Mustang that starred in the 1968 motion picture.
01:45Along with elements of a Chrysler and a Dodge Hellcat.
01:49You feel like you are part of this car.
01:52And you actually feel the power.
01:55You feel the grip.
01:57And most importantly, you like the looks that you're getting when you're driving it.
02:04The car handles amazing.
02:08It's stiff, but at the same time, it's a very comfortable car to drive.
02:14But you actually feel the road.
02:17You really, really feel the road and you feel the muscle, you feel the power.
02:23My favourite features inside the car is the wheel.
02:27Because when I'm handling the wheel, I feel that I have lots of power.
02:33One thing I can tell you, you feel like you are flying.
02:41And as production increases, Equius has its sights-sale on the heart of Motor City.
02:48Our plan, and it's actually our dream, to move our factory to one of the old buildings,
02:54which used to be homes for several of car manufacturing companies.
03:02When I drive this car, it feels like I and the car, we want integral part.
03:09And we're ready to tear the roads up.
03:13The philosophy of the company is to continue the legacy of American muscle car era.
03:21Not something which is retrofitted from the old cars.
03:24But something modern, something like a flashback.
03:27So you're driving a modern car, but in fact, you're driving history.
03:35Timeless, elegant, and classic.
