The Wahnsinn EVO Commission Handbook

Sixteen pages, written for someone deciding whether to have a car built by a workshop in the Netherlands they have never visited. It carries the whole specification, the price with everything inside and outside it, the route for the country you live in, and the questions owners put to us before they signed. It is the document we send before a first conversation, and it is free.

01 Why we build this

Who is behind Wahnsinn Wagens and why the car exists at all. Why the edition runs on petrol, and the specialists who build it, named one by one.

02 The first owner

Efrin Castro bought Wahnsinn One at auction without seeing it and had it shipped to New Jersey. His verdict on the chassis, the finish and the transaction, in his own words.

03 What you buy

The complete specification, system by system: the turbocharged M104, the drivetrain, the chassis, the bodywork, the interior and the build file that leaves with the car.

04 Your configuration

The four decisions that make the car yours, colour, accent, wheel and interior, and a worksheet to fill in before the first conversation.

05 The price, complete

EUR 140,000 in batch one and EUR 150,000 in batch two, excluding VAT and transport. What sits inside that number, what sits outside it, and the 50/40/10 payment schedule.

06 Why this price

The empty middle between an original EVO II and a continuation car, where the money actually goes, and an honest word on what the car may be worth later.

07 The route to your door

Three routes, one price, one standard. The European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States each get their own page: who buys the donor, which agreement you sign, and what happens at the border.

08 Questions we actually get asked

Twenty-one questions from this year's calls, messages and mails, answered the way we answered them. Ownership during the build, warranty, the VIN, and what happens if a part is discontinued.

09 How the build runs

From conversation to keys in five stages, with what is fixed at each one, including the running and driving video that comes before the second payment.

All vehicle images in the handbook are renders of a configuration, not photographs of a finished car, and every one of them says so. Specification is refined per commission; the agreement you sign is the document that binds.
