Talk about the ultimate sleeper; Kari Makela and his fellow workers at the Mäkelä Auto-Tuning company (MAT) that’s based in The guys at MAT did precisely as asked fully restoring the Model-A to its original condition and adding a 250 HP 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder powertrain from a Ford Escort BDA Cosworth Group 4 Rally Car! According to the Finnish company, the rally-powered Model-A can go from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5,0 sec while it achieves a top speed of 124 mph or 200 km/h. -More pics after the jump

0-60mph in 5 sec with THOSE tyres and spokes? No thanks. Absolutely lovely restoration though, you wouldn't for a second think it has a volcano under the bonnet just by looking at it.
The look on the face of the driver of the WRX at the lights would be priceless.
Conversely, I think it'd be cool to put a Prius engine configuration in a Veyron, just for kicks. 0-60mph in 13 sec in a Veyron? Bring it on.

If it manages to out-drag something, I imagine the next corner could be way too exciting...
