Why does it have wheels from a mid-90s Pontiac?

Is that not what the initial prototype was? I don’t really care enough to find articles or posts from when it first appeared, but I thought the first one was a chopped-up, shortened, carbon fiber reskinned V8 Ferrari (I don’t remember if it was a 360 or a 430). Ferrari then said “nope, we won’t be sanctioning this by…

The VW GX3. It was right up my alley, and I was in a good place financially to buy one at the time. I was also cross-shopping the Caterham SV, but held off waiting for the GX3, since it was supposed to be considerably less expensive. I was neck-deep in the VW scene at the time, and prototypes were being produced and…

In case you weren’t aware, they are making those...

As soon as you mentioned Germany I actually knew where this was going. I only know of the Krupp Mustang, because I’m both a car enthusiast and my grandmother was a Krupp. I always thought it was neat that my family made vehicles, and have done research to learn as much about the Krupp empire and fortune that my…

Headcanon: This should be pronounced “Mach 15"

How do you like those frickin’ laser beam headlights? Seriously, do you notice a difference? Is the light visibly tinted toward either end of the visible spectrum? How long do they take to power up? Any guesses on long-term reliability vs LEDs?

Why not? People don’t use them anyways.

The first C8 that I think actually looks GOOD.

He can forgive her all he wants. The survivors of Emanuel AME Church can forgive Dylan Roof all they want. I don’t. I’m not bigger than that. I’m vindictive, and hurt, and angry at they and their ilk. Both of them are killers, plain and simple. They aren’t absolved, and neither is America in general.

So I guess that would make this thing a 1LIIS.

Somebody slipped with a drill, and they’re embarrassed to admit their mistake.

Eff no, I’ve seen what happens to the people who race that car.*

As a young aspiring car designer, Luigi Colani was one of my heroes. His designs weren’t for everyone - hell, I’d argue they weren’t for anyone other than Colani himself - but he was singular. A titan has fallen.

Help me out, what did I just read? This has to be from something other than some throw away comment on Splinter, it’s beautiful.

When I was much younger, in Atlanta, one of my dad’s friends from work had a silver ~1965 TVR Griffith. I was a car-guy from birth, and serious aspiring car designer, having applied to the Art Center and Center for Creative Studies, having been conditionally accepted to the latter, pending graduation.

The original is one of my all-time favorite designs, and I like the original front end better. The reworked front end looks so much like a Mustang, which I firmly believe was probably supposed to be a reborn A-M V8, before Ford sold A-M (but kept the design/engineering for the Mustang, like Daimler did with the…

Who gives a shit if the record is certified by Guinness or not? If they were the most people to do it, then they were the most people to do it. Given how easy it is to verify things on the internet today, a record is a record whether certified by a self-declared brewery-turned-certification-business or not.

RIP Lido, truly one of the giants of auto history, and seven years -almost to the day - after losing Sergio Pininfarina. Lee Iacocca was responsible for Chrysler’s purchase of Lamborghini, which resulted in the Diablo, which I still think it one of the best Lamborghini’s to this day. The Diablo 6.0 was the perfect…
