Almost Unique,

well there are two of them,


 that have been custom built, if the shape looks familiar, it should be as you will have seen hundreds of them,

 it is the wheel arch of a VW Beetle,

 Brent Walter repurposed an original Volkwagen Beetle to form the dramatically curved body of his “Volkspod” and built an engine and chassis to fit below,

 it is pretty minimal,

 but then the wheel arch is not that big,

the just-for-fun project began about a year ago, seemingly from the comfort of Walter’s garage/workshop, He has been documenting his progress on Instagram, where people have caught wind of his invention, no word yet on whether the bespoke creations will be for sale, but here is the good news you can experience the wild ride of a Volkspod in the action video Walter shared on Instagram, I have to say it they look like fun, and can you imagine the looks you would get riding a wheel arch along the road?
