Justin Cashmore’s 1960 Renault Dauphine is no ordinary vintage car. As the winner of the 2024 ENEOS x Pit+Paddock Show Car Contest, this remarkable build features a mid-engine VW VR6 engine and widebody carbon fiber bodywork. Inspired by Group 5 racing, Cashmore’s Dauphine showcases his unique approach to car culture.
The Dauphine’s 2.8L VW VR6 engine sits behind the rear firewall and produces 230hp, channeled through a VW six-speed transmission with a Peloquin limited-slip differential. The custom pushrod suspension, NASCAR sway bars, and oversized Toyo R888R tires give this patinaed classic modern handling and performance.
This one-of-a-kind build has garnered attention from major outlets like Stanceworks and Hoonigan.
