Special Edition Seven by Lambretta

Updated: 2010-04-29 19:57:35

As many of our long-term readers know, I’ve got a bad, bad Jones for Lotus 7s. And not just the originals or the Caterhams (which is what we have here) but almost any of the faithful continuations of Saint Colin’s masterpiece from lo those many years ago; Birkins, Westfields, those crazy-assed Caterhams with motorcycle engines, [...]

Zagato Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa

Updated: 2010-04-28 20:31:41

Una bella machina!!!! If there were no Ferrari (perish the thought!) my allegiance would have to ride with Alfa Romeo. Back in the day when Cadillac was known as “The Standard of The World,” Alfa was known as “Il Primo Automobile Campiono del Mondo”; The First Automobile Champions Of The World. And indeed they were.

Ford Mustang Enters FIA GT3 European Championship

Updated: 2010-04-27 23:51:59

Now THIS is going to be an interesting fight. The provincial nature of America has always bothered me. We call it the World Series, but that only makes sense if the world encompasses us and Canada. NASCAR (laughably) says they have the “best drivers in the world”, but only one of them has run in [...]

The Future of Ferrari

Updated: 2010-04-26 19:49:09

Tomorrow, I was thinking you could run something like “What’s the Future for Ferrari?” top Gearhead Chris said last week. Other things (that GeigerCars Corvette Grand Sport) got in the way, but it is worth looking at … and you know, orders are orders. The short version is that over the next few years, Ferrari will [...]

Mercedes-Benz Concept Shooting Break Blurs Styling Conventions

Updated: 2010-04-24 15:50:23

A term dating back to horse-driven travel in the 19th century, the word coupe originally defined a short wheelbase, enclosed carriage. The automobile would eventually classify the coupe as a two-door closed-cockpit vehicle. However, in recent model years, auto makers have challenged the term as four-doors became to adapt the coupe moniker to showcase a [...]

GeigerCars Corvette Grand Sport

Updated: 2010-04-23 19:39:16

Normally, when a German tuner gets a hold of a car, any car, they only seem to go in one direction (stylistically speaking): Over the top. So it was a pleasant surprise when head gearhead Chris sent me the info on GeigerCars done up, tuned up, hopped up and hot-rodded Corvette Grand Sport. The LS3 V8 [...]

European Ford Focus RS500: Americans Are Left To Drool

Updated: 2010-04-21 22:38:35

American Blue Oval fans worship the immense V-8 power of the Ford Mustang and its super high-performance Shelby variants, considerably higher fuel prices and narrower roads in European deprives drivers east of the Atlantic Ocean a forceful pony car.

Updated: 2010-04-21 19:39:47

Look, I like the new MINI, I really do. Small, quick and they handle really well for a front driver. But over 40K?! Are they mental? Sure, it’s (yet another) special edition and all that, but that’s some serious coin. First shown at the 2009 MINI United Festival in Silverstone, the MINI John Cooper Works World [...]
