Well I have to say I am entirely intrigued by these “Secret Spot” pics posted over at Type-01. If this is a single location; what kind of a location will have the combination of cars seen in this pic? More mysteriously—–what are those two Bugatti concepts doing there!?!? I would think those 2 concepts would be under the ownership of Bugatti/VAG. I don’t recall them ever being produced for private ownership. Hmm.
Beautiful greyscale photos as well.

Automobiliac had posted all sorts of wonderful Elf card scans last year, and this Alpine A210 diagram was from the backside of the scan you can find on the link above! Make sure you check out search his site for all the other Elf card scans…which are great.
In my list of all-time favourite Top 5 hatchbacks, this would have to be in the list. The superb Renault Clio V6

How beautiful are the funky 70s photos in this brochure of the exquisite 1973 Citroen SM!?

I love the Pagani Huayra, because it is (a) insane looking, (b) over the top, and (c) and super italian.
I also think these 2 photos are wonderful documentation of its anatomy.

My friend Xander from Strassenversion does great artwork and always sells fascinating motoring related goods…..and here are some of his latest; beautiful and colourful paintings made from photographs he took at Laguna Seca at the 2011 Rennsport Reunion.
The original paintings are sold. However, prints will be available!

beautiful oil painting by Andrea Del Pesco of Maseratis getting ready in the pits, 1956.
Cutlass? yes Cutlass! What you’re seeing here is the 1954 Oldsmobile Cutlass Concept, presented at the 1954 Motorama by General Motors. Surely this car is part of the F88 Concept lineage which was also presented at Motorama 54 in some form or another, because there is clearly a link to this design and the F88; in fact this may in fact be a part of the spectrum/series of the F88 concepts. I don’t know a lot about the car, but as with many concepts from that era (although the F88 survived!)—-the car is long gone.
Pretty damn beautiful though…..look at that roofline and louvre’d rear window! All of the old promotional photos i’ve found are showing the car from the rear end, obviously because it is clearly the most striking view of the car!
I also find it quite interesting that in all these photos; i believe the model is the same person….in different clothing! The old days….they were so funky.

Touring Superleggera have sprung a ‘redux’ of the famous 1952 Alfa Romeo Carozzeria touring ‘Disco Volante” by introducing a modified, spec’d out, balanced (49/51 weight balanced) rebody on the Alfa 8C chassis. The 2012 Alfa Romeo Disco Volante Superleggera is slated to be a limited edition production car!
A friend of mine just checked in from the Geneva Auto Show where it is being premiered…..and said it looks fantastic in the flesh! I don’t doubt it—-as it looks fantastic in this photo!

I love this thing! Totally inspired by the R8 and the E-Tron (especially the Detroit Auto Show E-Tron Coupe concept), but this Roding carries a BMW inline 6 with 320hp. Weighs only 950kg.
Limited to 23 cars for the initial production run. I can’t wait to see more photos…..and to find out if there will be a proper run of production cars! Oh and roding……ditch those silly time attack ‘red strips’ on the rim of the wheels and get some proper black/grey wheels on there.

it’s all about perspective, isn’t it!?
This art and photography project by Skrekkogle is great, challenging the perspectives and altering our expectations of size.
Alfa Romeo Montreal; easily one of my top 3 Alfas ever…look at that lumpy V8 muscle hanging over the front wheels!

Audi entered 3 cars into the 12 hours of Bathurst this year, and the #1 car came out on top after pouring rain and a kangaroo crossing the track! These R8 LMS specially put forth for Bathurst looks sweeeeet!

So in the past few weeks i have been TRYING to figure out what Renault has planned for the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Alpine marque—-i’ve been given some clues, but they are very minimal!
It’s interesting that Renault had shown a concept in 2010/2011 known as the Dezir, and I do find myself wondering if somehow the ‘new’ Alpine Concept which may be introduced at the upcoming Geneva Auto Show will look anything like this!
This year has been a massively disappointing winter with only a scanty 1 or 2 days of proper snow to drive around in—–and all in a year when i searched months for the right wheels to put on brand new snow tires.
I am left to wonder what could have been……well here’s a nice photo from 1916 with white stuff filling up the street in Seattle, a place I will be later this week for a visit.

Well obviously this isn’t a real car; however it is the active imagination of an industrial designer to create a ‘what if’ type video of an “Electromagnetic” supercar. It’s kind of absurd in a ‘watched too much Tron’ sort of way, but still interesting to think about and watch.
sort it out, mate!
i don’t know much about this photo or where it’s from, except that It made me laugh. Shared to me by Arman
I think the Maserati Tipo 61 “Birdcage” is easily one of the most beautiful, fascinating, and artistic race cars ever made—–and these photos really are stunning. These photos were used by RM Auctions during the 2010 auction of the car, where it sold for $3.343.648 to be exact. Obviously that’s a lot of money—-but honesty a FAR more beautiful and desirable car than many of the ‘expensive’ and overpriced Ferraris i’ve seen sell for much more in auction reports.

Why, yes of course.
I love the Matra Djet, not just because it was a slightly odder looking, lesser successful, weirdo cousin of the Alpine A110; but because on its own right it is pretty damn wickedly cool!
