In this jaw-dropping episode by Larry Chen, we witness a car like no other at Hyperfest at VIR - a machine with a boat mounted on top, aptly named Jenny. This isn't just any car; it's a drift car with original boat motors and parts, exuding a unique charm that sets it apart from the mundane automotive crowd. Initially conceived as a humorous project for a Halloween event, this car-boat hybrid evolved into a long-term passion project for its dedicated owner.

The sheer audacity of mounting a boat on a car chassis is both perplexing and intriguing. Jenny boasts a turbocharged stock BMW motor churning out a respectable 350 horsepower, ensuring it's not just a showpiece but a performance beast on the road. With modifications like a propeller, Mustang tail lights, and a plan to add flame-spitting exhaust tips near the propeller, this car pushes the boundaries of creativity and engineering.

What truly sets this creation apart is its street legality, allowing it to be driven to events like FD Jersey, proving that it's not just a static display but a functional and exhilarating ride. The interior features Prisma seats that perfectly complement the boat's livery, adding a touch of nautical flair to the already eccentric design. Larry Chen captures the essence of automotive innovation and individuality with this extraordinary car-boat hybrid, showcasing that in the world of custom builds, the only limit is one's imagination.
