This story began when Kyle Conner showed us a post from The Vehicle Finder on Facebook. No info, just images. Some of them just presented a Model S being apparently repaired, but then we saw the one you have above: the Tesla had an engine on its front axle. If you look closer, you'll see it is a Mazda 13B rotary engine with a turbo helping it breathe. We had to find out more.

The guys at The Vehicle Finder were accommodating to point us in the right direction. The car is a work from Reuben Bemrose, a shop owner in New Zealand. R's Garage once made headlines by putting a 13B on a Ferrari 456 body. There was a rumor that Ferrari threatened to sue him for that, but Bemrose denied this happened. He still has that sports car, apparently.

We have tried to contact him both in his personal Facebook profile and also on the garage page last August 2, but have not heard from him. His Instagram profile tells us a little more about the plans for this car.
