At the C7 reveal, I asked Ron Fellows when the C7R would be ready and he said that Pratt & Miller would probably have it ready to start testing by the end of the summer. I assume they'd be wanting to race it at the 24 hr race Daytona in late January, in which case I'd expect for them to reveal it before the NAIAS. I'd…

The Messerschmitt KR200 had a second life too. After Messerschmitt was allowed to go back into the airplane business in 1956, Fritz Fend, who designed the Kabinenroller in the first place, continued production under the FMR brand, eventually producing the four wheel Tg500 Tiger.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the Isetta, first made by Italy's Iso and later licensed to a number of companies including BMW.

In 1953,…

Hopefully the expansion means we're getting a Shelby Fiesta, if only for how wonderfully ridiculous that sounds.

What I didn't know was that Mosler's Consulier GTP was the first production car with no structural metal back in 1985,

The Cadillac Cien, designed by Simon Cox in GM's UK styling studio, was made to celebrate Cadillac's 100th anniversary, which was founded by Henry Leland out of Henry Ford's failed Henry Ford Company in 1902. It's a fully functional midengine supercar with a purpose built 60 degree DOHC V12 engine, based on Northstar…

That 1930 Bugatti 46 Superprofile's auction listing says that it's "in the style of Jean Bugatti". I think that it's the same car that was shown at the Concours of America at St. John's last summer.
