00:00It's really almost more of a work of art than it is just a car.
00:05This was not produced massively or in any number other than one.
00:22I'm Adam Taylor and I'm from Oahu, Hawaii.
00:26Today I have the honor and pleasure in introducing my personally designed, hand-built supercar that I've dubbed the RX
00:33777.
00:42This vehicle took me 10 years to build, the main reason being that I built it mainly through my college
00:48and grad school years.
00:49So obviously there is limited time and funds available, but I pursued it consistently to reach what I think is
00:58perfection now.
00:58It took me a while.
01:09So this car weighs in at a fighting weight of 2,700 pounds.
01:16The car is very wide. The width is wider than like a Dodge Viper, yet the wheelbase is short as
01:22a Mazda Miata.
01:23So it's a very hopped up go-kart type feel where your feet are almost touching the front wheel and
01:27your back is almost touching the back wheel.
01:29So it's very compact but very wide.
01:32It makes 950 horsepower at 8,000 RPM.
01:36So it's basically like a NASCAR engine on steroids.
01:39Completely capable of 200 miles an hour at this time.
02:02I think the most challenging aspect of this build was reaching near-perfect symmetry with the body.
02:08So the whole body as you see was hand-shaped out of sheet metal.
02:12So it took a lot of time and revisions to get both sides and every panel of the car to
02:17match up.
02:19Moving this way, so we have the all steel hand-rolled body starting from this fender all the way back.
02:27To finish out the back design, we have this nice overly exaggerated ducktail spoiler as you see here.
02:33I think it fits the body lines very well.
02:35And this is one of my favorite aspects of this design.
02:38This build is well into the six figures.
02:42I kind of stopped keeping track for my own sake and sanity at one point.
02:46But if you look over the components, each component is top shelf.
02:51No expense spared in each of the components that I chose to use in this build.
02:56I'm humbled and grateful that after that much time, money spent, effort, that I have a finished product that turns
03:03out pretty well, I think.
03:05The car, in my mind, is, I guess, priceless.
03:08Once you've created the concept and then you've done well bringing it into reality,
03:12I think it's instantly kind of an iconic type thing where it's in its own class.
03:16It's not compared to other vehicles.
03:18It can't be, you know, outdated by a New Year model.
03:21And so, in that sense, it's kind of in its own realm.
03:24And it's difficult to put a figure on the value of it currently.
03:31Most of the time, the reaction I get is, wow.
03:34And then, how did you do that?
03:39There's always another build on the horizon.
03:41I have a large one in the works.
03:43A concept vehicle, kind of a military stealth truck, if you will.
03:47So, I'd like to share that with you later.
03:57When I finally finished the car and got to drive it,
04:00the feel of the car, the sound of the car, the power,
04:02and everything kind of coming together perfectly the way I'd originally imagined.
04:05It was absolutely exhilarating.
