Now if that was an amphi-car, it actually might work!! In the water, anyway. Notice the flip-up rudder?
Of course, then there is this rendition of a land-sailer!! (But from a strictly applied physics POV, what is wrong with this picture??)

A vid on Google's self-driving car project. I gotta admit, from a design logistics perspective, that WOULD be a pretty cool design team to be on! Originally Posted by abraham

AK Rover, that Porsche is gorgeous. Not a fan of the older turbos, but what a great interior and paint job.
That is why I like dogs, more than most people. Originally Posted by leroy jenkins

Yeah...no taping mistakes on THAT repaint!! They certainly want enough, for it, though: $108,000 !! Originally Posted by liv2ski

Can you enter modified cars in concours shows? Because that exhaust does not look stock.

I can see myself taking that Porsche for a test drive and have a pen explode in my back pocket while sitting on those seats. I would be like: "Umm...whoops." But at least the blue ink might match the blue paint! I probably wouldn't be welcomed back, though.

Oh, and the boot lid doesn't fit the front bumper very well.

Fuck that. You could likely buy a low miles 2009-11 Turbo 997 for that kind of money. I love the Turbo 997. Originally Posted by Alaskan Rover

Guess it depends on the rules. A client of mine restored a 50's Hot Rod that entered the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. And won. Amazing piece of U S performance car history. The Duffy Livingstone Eliminator was a force in 1950's SCCA road races and hill climbs. It's for sale. $150k might get it. Originally Posted by Caucasian Asian

I'd take a soldering iron into the urethra for that 3.8L. Amazing the output they are getting from that much displacement these days.

Some good looking rides coming out of Geneva car show.
The hybrid Koenigsegg Regera, 1500+ bhp between the 5.0 twin turbo V8 and the electric motors, will go from 0 to 248mph in less than 20 seconds. Full album: http://imgur.com/a/RRytU/all

Anyone post the new Morgan Aero 8 yet?
Hidden beneath the vintage styling is an improved aluminum chassis with better torsional rigidity and an improved suspension setup. Power comes exclusively from a 4.8-liter V8 from BMW making 367 horsepower, and the Bavarian brand also supplies a new limited-slip differential to get power down at the rear. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic gearbox.
