The Kodiak F1 is a concpet car displayed at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was the project of Mladen Mitrovic, the owner of a Convertible roof manufacturing company, Speed & Sport, who designed the car with the help of the Technical University of Munich and the help of the first Computer-aided design. The frame of the car is a tubular design, made of Kevlar, Carbon-fiber, and Epoxy. The Interior of the car is made entirely of off the shelf Momo (company) parts. The Chevrolet L48 V8 was supported by Brembo brakes, ZF 5-speed gearbox, Pirelli tires and Koni shock absorbers. As time passed with the project still "under constuction'', the quoted price of the car rose from $48,000 to $117,000. Short on money and investors, Mitrovic gave up on the project in 1989, with 1 unit built, with Speed & Sport collapsing the following year.
