It is made by the Bismoto car company and is a Honda Odyssey . The builder is Bis Ezeriohe who has previously built vehicles that had 708 hp and 600 hp. What would you do with a car that powerful? What would you be willing to pay for such a car as that?
Their gas gauge reads; GALLONS PER MILE. I drive an economy car that averages 36 MPG. I drive a lotta miles daily. I spent my youth racing, so my lead-foot is retired. Another thing to think about with high performance cars ------- they don't last as long mechanically.
Hahahahahahahshah! That's rich! Gallons per mile not miles per gallon? YIKES! So it's for the very very very very
very very wealthy folks then. Thank you for your reply bh and Happy Sunday! :)
What I don't need is a car that goes 0-to-Jail in under a minute
Automotive product planner Bob Hall (the "spiritual father" of the Mazda Miata) once said, "If you can't have fun with 90 horsepower, 900 horsepower won't help you."
While a 1000hp Honda Odyssey minivan is an interesting engineering achievement and has some novelty value, I think I can find a lot more fun for a lot less money.
I don't even like to go the speed limit sometimes.
Hahahahhahahahahaha ! Funnee hunnee! Me too neither GJ! Me too neither! Thank you for your hilarious reply and Happy Sunday! :)

Good morning Rosie
Being a "car guy" myself I can appreciate the imagination and skill it takes to do this to a mini van.
Is this something I would want, no.
I have built or restored a few cars, all of them being models from 1970 and before.
Being limited by budget and knowledge, the cars I have done were in an effort to get my "dream" cars.
One car was a 1970 Buick skylark. How, may some ask can a Buick Skylark be considered a dream car, so let me be more specific, it was a 1970 Skylark GS stage 1 convertible,
At the time I really wanted a 70-71' convertible Chevelle with a big block, either the 396 or 454 engine.
I had saved some cash, but after a weekend of searching for one I realized that I didn't have nearly enough.
At the last place I looked, it was clear I wouldn't be getting my chevelle however the guy said he may have something I would be interested in. When he said it was a Skylark my heart sank. My sister had one years ago and it was Not what I had in mind, It was though he was offering me his Grandmothers car. Then he explained what it was. we walked behind his garage and I found the car was in a thousand pieces. He had completely taken the car apart, but it was all there and all stock. It had a 455 V-8 and a factory installed Hurst 4 speed tranny and it was a convertible and I could afford it, with enough left over to put it back together, So I took it.
As I got into the restoration I found the car was more special than I imagined. As I was inventorying and cleaning all the parts I found the original Protecto-plate, which lists all the options the car was originally built with. It turned out the car was pretty rare.
It took longer than I had thought and cost more than I had budgeted, having all the bright work, bumpers, trim, etc. re-chromed was the costliest part of the build.
The car came out absolutely beautiful and as it turned out, more powerful than the Chevelle I had started out wanting, not to mention it was still about 1/4 the cost of the Chevelle. It was Glacier white with black interior and top.
With the help of some mechanical tuning the car pushed about 500 h.p. and 525 ft. lbs. torque to the rear wheels, In other words, it would burn rubber through 3 gears and leave a parallel set of tracks all the way down the street.
Aside from the ram-air hood scoops and some badging, the car was pretty mild and unassuming. It certainly didn't look like a "hot rod", but when you opened her up......Oh my!!!
This was back in 2005-2006, When I had the car appraised for insurance, we did a Sloan report. This gives history, factory specs and value to the vehicle. Each car brand has a different reporting company. Marti does Ford, Sloan does Buick, Edmonds for GM etc. The Skylarks appraised value was over 100k, not bad considering I only had about 17k into it.
Then came the housing crash of 2008, along with the car market. Classic and muscle cars took a serious hit as well.
Cars that were selling as fast as they were listed, for 250k were lucky to get 50k in 2008=9.
The Mustang for example, There was an aftermarket Shelby gt500 that was nade popular through the movie Gone in 60 seconds> This car was referred to as the "Eleanor" version. People were buying regular mustangs and modifying tem into these Eleanor's and they were selling like hotcakes for 200-250k, it was easy, people were taking 2nds and 3rds on their mortgages and snatching these cars up. After the crash, money was no longer so easy to get and the market dried up.
Although the market is coming back, not so much for Eleanor, which you find all day long for 40-50k, but for the original Shelby GT500, expect to pay at least 100k and up to ???
The last car I did was also kind of a novelty. I really liked the Shelby Cobra's, but again, couldn't ever afford one , so what did I do. I took a 1969 MG midget and put a Buick 231 v-6 in it, along with a mazda tranny and rear end. It was a death trap and promptly sold it. It was not worth anything as an investment or otherwise but they guy wanted it and gave me what I had into it, which certainly wasn't much...
I have no idea how much the 1000 h.p. mini van will fetch, Its worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Whatever is paid willed be paid as a novelty expense. I cant imagine it as an investment and I would think it could only lose value, as most trendy modify 'ds do...I wonder if there is a reserve price and what it is. Heck, I wonder if they'll get back what they have into it...The problem with auctions on a vehicle like this is you need at least 2 guys, or moms, who have deep pockets and really want it in the bidding. I admit I have never heard of the builder and don't know the value of his name. Will he go down in history with the likes of Shelby, Yenko, McClaren, etc. Who knows?
Personally, Id take the Yenko Camaro or Chevelle over the Bizmoto mini van all day long...
Sorry for the rambling on and if you make it to the end, Have a great day m'dear
Did you ever live in Pasadena, you little old lady?
Yes as a matter of fact I did. In 1958 when I got married (the first time) we lived in an apartment in Pasadena? How in the he** did you guess that? Now what bh? 
I did make it to the end sweetie! My this is quite a story and I'm POSITIVE it will hit the buttons of a lotta guys out there. Much of it is over my head des. I don't understand the significance of a lot of your stats but I know car guys like Old School and e
xcon will be probably lap up every word! Thank you for sharing that personal car-related history with us my friend. I appreciate it a lot! :) ((hugs))
I guess if you like racing on tracks and just appreciate a great muscle car it would be most excellent, Where I live I could make it around the island in just minutes, lol. Not practical here anyways.
Old School have you read the reply des provided? Please do. It is very lengthy and detailed and has a lot of car-related info that I KNOW you will like
