Belgian niche carmaker Krugger has unveiled its
latest creation: the Krugger FD. The open-top one-seater is based on the
‘streamline’ design philosophy that used to be popular in the 1930s.
The one-off ride was commissioned by two major businesspeople
– François Fornieri and André Dupont – and took three years to complete. The
request, according to the company, was to produce something one hundred percent
unique, purely Belgian in nature and true to the Krugger style. The letters FD
stand for the clients’ initials. Interestingly, the carmaker claims it has created
the entire vehicle without any kind of CNC machining or software modelling
involved.
Powering the build is a six-liter, twelve-cylinder
Bentley Continental GT engine. Initially rated at 635 hp, it has been
boosted to deliver 750 hp, a monstrous amount of power for a roadster
weighing in at mere 1,250 kilograms.
Krugger owner Fred Bertran intends to bring the car
to numerous shows.
