If the picture indeed shows a hostage, he might be suffering from a severe form of Stockholm syndrome with all that smiling.

Now with 850 horses and 1,069 lb-ft of torque, I can only imagine full bore acceleration feels like takeoff. The estimated 0-60 mph time is 3.5 seconds and the weight is surely over 6,000 lbs.

The system used no electrical contacts. Instead, cast plastic light pipes would take light from the given bulb and channel it to display in those little fender-mounted pods. Different lights would be assigned different colors. And, for the rear lights, the system had a little display pod on the inside of the car,…

About the same as at the time they were racing in F1. You just order another one to be mould.

Brilliant revenge on Aston Martin for using Volvo-branded side mirrors. Take one Aston Martin, fit a grille from our previous concept, voila! A new Volvo concept car that will never be produced.

The Daily Mail falling for a joke is peanuts compared to a respectable German magazine Automobilwoche.

Mazda had something similar with the 323 GTX, which was a bit down on power, but used a completely unique all-wheel drive chassis with the 323's body on top. If you're looking for a modern alternative, that would be the Mazdaspeed 3...

No GT2 RS convertible, though.

Absofuckinglutely brilliant.
That said I'd only use it on my wifes phone, you don't need shit like this if you are a man.

In related news: this is why race cars have windscreens.

It is indeed, on first sight I would say "CSL" straight away. But I love researching soooooo much...

You are more than welcome.
