The new engine is described as a 12-cylinder rotating engine that can deliver up to 300hp and fuel consumption of up to 70mpg. To speed development, designers are also planning to build the car around a donor Mercedes-Benz CL500 chassis.
The project reminds us of another ambitious custom vehicle, the $2 million Dimora Natalia, which, like the new Duesenberg, features an innovative new engine and is just as likely to never see the light of day. However, there is still hope for a modern Duesenberg in the form of hot rod legend Chip Foose and his own plan to build a Duesenberg-inspired mega coupe, which you can read about by clicking here.
