About this video

TwelveAir is a jaw-dropping, hand-built 1953 Corvette-inspired coupe by Kindig-It Design that stayed secret for five years to win the Ridler. Every panel and aluminum monocoque was fabricated from scratch, with no donor car used. It packs a custom, LS-based 9.2L V12 built by Race Cast Engineering, tuned to roughly 650 hp for drivability. It debuted at Detroit Autorama and took home the Don Ridler Memorial Award — proof that obsessive craftsmanship and silence can create automotive art and stunned the car world globally.
