Vehicle Story
The UMI Green Machine is a 1979 Monte Carlo Landau with UMI suspension, big tires, big horsepower, and ground effects. We use it for the research and development of UMI's G-body line. This car excels at handling events and is also good at street driving and drag racing. It was the vision of UMI's President Ryan Kirkwood to have something not-so-pretty but still be very, very capable.
