Since 2013, specialty automobile manufacturer Equus’ Bass 770 has taken the contemporary preoccupation with the muscle car a little further than other automakers. As a merger of American sport-touring designs from the late 1960’s, the lines and shape of the Bass immediately call to mind Mustang Fastback models from 1968 and, especially, 1969.

As far as performance, though, the 770 attempts to keep up with a certain Italian automobile manufacturer of note: Equus allies the company with a prancing horse, not with Peter Shaffer. Under the hood of the Bass 770 is a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine, which produces 640HP and a whopping 605 lb ft of torque. The 770 will launch to 60 in 3.4 seconds, and its needle will hit 200MPH. The light weight of the aluminum chassis, and use of carbon fiber, helps the car’s power to weight ratio, and keep it structurally rigid for nimble and dexterous response. And electronic performance features like Performance Traction Management and an Active Handling System tip the scales in favor of contemporary driving sensibilities.

Like its mechanics, the 770’s interior is a nifty blend of homage and contemporary features. Retro rules here; check the steering wheel and the dash for the look of 1960’s-era instruments and controls, as well as the six-speed manual transmission and the chrome accents. But the car also features a touch screen, Bluetooth and USB-connectivity, and satellite navigation system. It’s also dressed in leather, not naugahyde.

Retro cool comes at a price; the current list for a base Bass 770 is $534K.
