Car Porn.......beauty meets speed (SFW)

[Alaskan Rover]

Sauber C9 was probably the prettiest '80's race car.

Now we're talking!!!

That thing is indeed a thing of magic and beauty! More plane than car!

I wonder what it would take to make one of those street legal? Front and rear signals...rear view camera, as it has no rear window...road tires to replace the slicks? They would prolly still DQ it for road use, just because it's a racing car. Depends on state, I guess.

If it's bodied in aluminum, then polished bare aluminum like my Series IIA. If not, then painted Mercedes Silver. Red seat/seats, of course!!

[Alaskan Rover]

I want one of these with AWD and a small block V8Attachment 182289

Is that vehicle a real possibility, or another car show proto-type that hits the circular file as soon as the show is over?

If they can re-do and bring back the beetle, they can definitely do the same with the 'microbus' (the only reference I've heard to microbus is that 18 wheeler song "Convoy".... Lol ).

Refreshing to see pillars, for a change, that aren't as wide as Kate Kardashian's ass. Kind of a cool vehicle!!

It's a a carbon fiber composite body..

Sounded like the gates of hell were being ripped apart when at full chat down the Mulsanne.. backwash would suck your beer up the side of it's glass at trackside. Long enough watching close up caused sternum pain.

My grandfather had one similar to this from new up until a few years ago. didn't get to drive or ride in it unfortunately. Red on white.

Aston Martin Vulcan. 900 hp and 2,800lbs....

Those are amazing.

Not enough Aston Martin love. They make some of the prettiest cars on the road today.

There's something about a Jag man.

Poor reliability?

There's something about a Jag man.

There is a local guy that has one of these, same color too. He has had it at least since the mid seventy's. He drives it a lot.

[schindlerpiste]

Nice looking cars that absolutely attracts a certain type person. I haven't known too many men who owned Jags, who didn't regularly manicure their nails, or have weekly appointments at the beauty salon. Just an observation.

[BmillsSkier]

can't wait for the Zora release, me thinks it's going to surprise a lot of folks.

I'm happy for the Corvette's success in updating the design and performance going back to the C6. I wonder if there's any truth to the future Vette being mid-engined?

[Bromontana]

Dood the C5 is what revitalized the vette.

[Bobby Stainless]

Poor reliability?

Thing is pretty much a Tacoma.

Or somehow forget their wallet at home, every time the bill comes?

Aston Martin makes the best looking modern cars IMO.

Astons are indeed gorgeous looking cars!!

........but WAIT.....what"s this????



Ughh.......chock it up to the 8Os, I guess.. I'm wondering why they didn't give it a vinyl roof. That woulda looked snazzy!!

Evidently it was good for 237 mph, though.

[schindlerpiste]

Is that a Lagonda?

[stfu&gbtw]

No doubt.

I think I saw that car on that Epcot ride inside the giant golf ball where you listen to animatronic figures tell you how awesome the future is going to be.

Newsflash, the future was nothing like your bullshit, Disney. You got it wrong. It's all wrong.

Maserati is still putting out some nice shapes:

Reminiscent of the 350s:

Sauber C9 wasn't available in road trim. Settle for the CLK GTR? Homologation cars are missed.

[Art Shirk]

Haven't seen a Panoz in here yet. Some American trustafarian blood.

Park place in Bellevue seemed to have quite a few when I was in high school. I don't think I ever saw them on the road though

It's amazing what having the patent on time release drug molecules can do for your hobbies.

Or ecoBoost

[Bobby Stainless]

No doubt.

That's not modern.

This is. 6.0 V12. China Gray.


Manual with a 4.3 NA V8.


Vanquish Volante


Ferrari, Porsche, Aston. I like them all. As long as I don't lose money.


I don't have any pictures of the Vulcan, but holy shit.

Maserati is still putting out some nice shapes:
Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

The top GT is a Stradale, which are only available in Europe. Carbon ceramic brakes. The bottom GT is a MC 100th Anniversary. Different hood, and wheels. No CCBs. It's a shame what is happening to Maserati.

I plan on selling a shit ton of Levantes though.
