Perfect V8 Interceptor interpretation. So far the best model. I suggest you to enter Mad Max competition, but @Jim is here to judge. Anyway if you decide to enter you have my vote.

I saw this on Facebook and I wondered if this was made for the contest 

Since you posted this after the start of the contest, I am cool with you entering the contest.

Lucky me that I don't have Facebook account 

Honestly I red technic contest several times and I didn't find anything wrong with entering (except that it has "broken" or modified left front lights and was on display in Russia?), but it reassembles Mad Max theme at the best (since it is a car of main protagonist...).

It is very kind of you to allow it to enter.

Heyyy, Immortan Jim has called him to Valhalla, he's awaited! Really great to see how perfect this model came right in time.

Oh! Jim, what a lovely day! :)  Thank you for allowing me to participate in the contest!  I can put not broken pieces on the model for a video, but it will lose some charm... This model is a bit different than it was on display in Russia, I made tons of changes here and there.

"MAX'S ORIGINAL MUSCLE CAR, THE GLORIOUS XB FALCON COUPE - ONCE KING OF THE HIGHWAY NOW A WOUNDED BEAST OF SALVAGE AND SAND, FORCED OFFROAD AND RUNNING ON THE SMELL OF AN OILY RAG. SCOTT HAT AND BELT-DRIVEN BLOWER INTACT BUT BATTERED, REAR TYRE MORE RAG THAN RUBBER, RUSTED THROUGH AND RATTLING WITH ONE TOO MANY REPAIRS AND FAR TOO FEW ORIGINAL PARTS. A LEGEND SPOTTED IN THE GUTTER, PUNCH DRUNK BUT STILL PROUD, LEFT BEHIND BY HISTORY'S DOWNWARD SPIRAL, OUT OF PLACE BUT NEVER OUT OF CONTENTION... SIMPLY THE BEST, TINA."

Well, it could be also done in a more legal manner with a black sticker. Not such authentic but better than nothing.

Yep, will think about it

Great job, really stunning Interceptor!! Would love to have instructions for manual model, for display reasons, without all the electric stuff.

I find it awesome that you're officially in the contest ! It's more than deserved. 

Only, I guess we'll fight for second place, now..

I need to take a careful look at this MOC being allowed to enter the contest. It might violate some rules. I will get back to you later.

Thank you! You can do it yourself, it's not that hard... mine also static now without power source, those motors used in the model are not expensive

No problem, take your time. Everything in the description and on the pictures. Will wait

[Jim]

If I understand it correctly (and sorry for not reading your description carefully the first time), you modded a MOC made by someone else?

If that is the case, it would not be fair to allow participation in the contest.

Yes, I modded Mikhail's model. He made the 1st version and I modded his model up to the Fury Road version. The 1st version can be seen here and on my Flickr / Instagram on the photo with brief history. I understand your point, for the first time when you tell me that you are ok with mine entering... I was surprised, because the model do not follow many rules. Thank you anyway! and instructions are available for those who want to support our (Mikhail and Nikolay) effort for future projects. Respect:)

clarification of some details

[1980SomethingSpaceGuy]

The original contest on vk.com is here.
My understanding is that the build presented in this topic was developed in collaboration with the author of the original MOC, Micha Biktimirov. So there's not much stealing from him, rather a comrades' collaboration. Am I right? And quite a nice job was done from the original on vk.com in both color picking, fine tuning and photography to get to the jaw-dropping visuals presented in this thread.

Yes, that's right. The model presented here was done in collaboration. It's not a stealing. After the contest on vk.com I offered my help in making instructions in stud.io and better looking photos. While I was doing all this I also modified the 1st version with Mikhail's help. Maybe I should mentioned it before, but here is the list of modifications I made: bonnet, front part before the bonnet, pipes, sides of the roof, A pillars a bit wider, completely new baggage with gas tanks, rear axle, abillity to put wide tires, wide tire, mount of the spoiler, completely new supercharger, door handlers, seat, rear and front sides of the car, crankcase protection was added, vents on sides, better placement of wires inside, mount for M motor, steering wheel... maybe something else but I don't remember.
