Belgium-based custom carmaker Krugger has unveiled its latest creation: the Krugger FD. This open-top speedster only has a single seat, and is based on the ‘streamline’ Art Deco design philosophy from the 1930s. It was commissioned by two businessmen – François Fornieri and André Dupont – and took approximately three years to complete. As you might have already guessed, the letters FD stand for the clients’ surname initials.
The current-generation Bentley Continental GT shares the Volkswagen-developed MSB platform with the second-generation Porsche Panamera, and it’s the first production car ever to have an entire body side made from the Super Formed process, or a technique using aluminum which allows more complex, sharply defined body lines.

Tuning shop Arden decided to give it an aggressive supercar makeover.
