The build was started in 2018 and Waters enlisted Queensland-based Rides by Kam to complete the phenomenal build of the beast. Featuring an engine based on one similar to that of his Supercar producing 745hp and a sinister amethyst metallic purple paint job.
More than 700 cars totalling more than $50 million were on display, with the Superstars Awards being presented to the best of show in a variety of areas. To qualify, entrants either have previously displayed at MotorEx or at another event throughout the year at Summernats, Rockynats and Motorvation.
