This looks very R8-ish, with more curves and Porsche-ness. I’m not sure what to really think of it. I’m not a fan of hybrids, although I understand they will be enhancing market share in the imminent future. If they made this car with a petrol engine, i’d be far more likely to plop it down as my wallpaper. Still pretty cool though, and somewhat of a diversion for Porsche designing.
Make sure you watch the 2 minute promo video at the bottom of the post:

Not sure where this photo originates from, but it was taken this week in IEDEI’s hometown of NYC! Fantastic. Lamborghini Murcielago.

One of my all-time favourite Maseratis….and IMO the most underrated. the Maserati Khamsin. simply gorgeous!
I guess at IEDEI, lately there is a big rush of Lancia going on…..can’t think of a better brand to get obsessed with though…..
big thanks to the fantastic Colla Verglas Blog for these pics!

one of the greatest cars ever made— the Bugatti Type 35b. the first time i saw one in person at the Cranbrook Concours, i just took a seat on the grass and stared at it for about 30 minutes. I’ll never forget the way it made me feel…….
the original Lancia Fulvia is a total legend……and adding to the legend is this rare, but fascinating rebodied Fulvia redone by Zagato and sold in Limited Edition. A couple of years ago, i had a chance to by an unrestored one of these, but passed it up just due to the huge amount of cash it would have costed to get it back to shape. One day though, when i have enough loot to swing around, i want a Fulvia HF and a Fulvia Sport Zagato in my garage…….together!
taken from the Ultimate Car Page:
“In April 1965 the first prototype was ready and it was Elio Zagato himself who conducted the road tests. Before the end of the year the production of the Fulvia Sport 1.3 Zagato was started. As can be seen in the second picture, the rear hatch could be opened slightly electrically to improve ventilation while driving. The first production were powered by a 1.2 litre V4 engines, pumping out a decent 80 bhp. In 1967 the displacement was increased to 1.3 litres. This larger engine was available in two states of tune, 87 bhp for the Sport 1.3 and 93 bhp for the Sport 1.3S. In 1970 the Fulvia Sport was slightly restyled and a 115 bhp 1.6 litre engine was added to the line-up.”
Here are some of my favourite Fulvia Sport Zagato photographs:

For the first time since I started this blog about 16 months ago, it recieved more than 1000 unique views for just today. That’s a milestone! Cheers to all the IEDEI friends out there, and let’s aim for 2000 hits a day!
Time to celebrate with a picture of our spiritual webmaster, Steve McQueen!
Well it doesn’t look that different, but there are some significant styling differences noticeable from these spy pics posted on Motor Authority.
The front nose is definitely higher, and the headlights are more upright, reminiscent of older 911s (ding ding….points for Porsche already!). Supposedly this is due to stricter EU pedestrian safety laws, but I like to think it’s due to taking the 911 back to its stylish roots!
I’m not sure what they are trying to do with the rear, and I get the feeling that the spoiler on this mule has been heavily camouflaged and subsequently distorted from the look it will have in production. I think that ‘whale tale’ is to throw off the pundits, or is it? Time will tell.
