A 2006 Aston Martin DB9 has undergone a radical transformation, trading its original V12 for a Corvette-sourced V8 and adding real flame throwers.
Built by Conquer Custom in Tampa, Florida, the car started as a typical British grand tourer before being turned into a rolling tribute to James Bond's vehicles.

The most significant change is under the hood.
The factory 5.9-liter V12 is gone, replaced by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 with a mild camshaft, custom intake, long-tube headers, and Holley electronics.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Corvette-sourced 4L65E four-speed automatic transaxle.
Behind the grille, a linear actuator tilts the front fascia forward to reveal twin minigun-style assemblies.
These are not weapons but run on propane and oxygen tanks mounted in the trunk, shooting actual flames.

The car also features smoke canisters at the rear for dramatic exits, a custom digital gauge display with 007 graphics, and a switch panel in the cabin that looks more like a movie prop than standard equipment.
The interior has been retrimmed in black Alcantara, and a Bluetooth audio system has been added.
The original climate controls remain, but the air-conditioning compressor now works via a separate manual toggle switch.
Some quirks include non-functioning windshield wipers, a dashboard-mounted horn, and the need to add fuel slowly.

The car is a salvaged vehicle, far from perfect but wonderfully unique. As of this writing, bidding has reached at least $38,250.
