Awesome car this review is lamauto Will.I.am BEP.
Black Eyed Peas singer Will.I.Am told Tonight Show host Jay Leno he is developing a new car company to bring jobs to the East Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up. He even showed the sporty model he plans to turn out.
He calls the angular, low-slung car Iamauto and said it was built with ”a whole bunch of parts” from Chrysler Group. Essentially, he said, he started with a Chrysler chassis and created the body shell. Because it is built on an existing platform, the car is certified as street-legal, he said, adding that the car reflects his technological leanings.
“I’m a big technology freak and a geek and I invested my money in building my own vehicle ’cause I want to bring jobs to the ghetto that I come from,” Will.I.Am said.
Buzz has developed among some auto-industry insiders who say the car is really a modified DeLorean. Whatever it is or not, the reference to DeLorean could prove appropriate. That early-1980s car, developed by former General Motors executive John Z. DeLorean, became a rolling testament to how difficult it is to start a car company. Indeed, for every car maker on the market today there are dozens who failed.
Leno, a well-known car collector and tinkerer, said he was excited about the project and offered to test-drive the Iamauto when it is ready.
