Digging this photo. Such a nice, spare location; such muted, monochromatic hues— goes well with the car, which is, of course, gorgeous.

Mechatronik roadster

•June 3, 2010 • 5 Comments

Alright, we absolutely love this— it’s a Merc roadster prototype by German engineering firm Mechatronik. Dead-sexy classic sheetmetal wrapped around modernized internal components is often a winning combination (think Singer 911). Looks so badass lowered and riding on colormatched steelies.

Follow up to this post— more motorsport versions of BMWs you don’t see going racing too often. Cool stuff, this— we dig the shark, especially.

This is a bit of penance for that fugazi (and no, we’re not referring to the legendary punk band).

Practically a worshipful space

•June 2, 2010 • 3 Comments

Two beauties in an immaculate, gleaming white space- we’d be happy to worship at this temple. The Paul Bracq-designed W109 300SEL 6.3, of course, famously has the distinction of being considered one of the world’s first Q-ships. So elegant and understated here, belying what lurks beneath the bonnet.

On that note, you may enjoy these clips (or not).

Your moment of zen

No, we don’t know why this 996TT is pretending to be a Land Rover. It does make for a surreal image, though.

Track Giulia

Nicest Alfa Giula we’ve seen since, well, this.

Apples and oranges – this one looks more like a gutted racer, the other retains more of that classic/sleeper look that we love so much – but we appreciate and admire how this one is unabashedly all business.. it makes its intentions clear. Really nice.
