Not so with this turbine-enhanced Datsun 280Z. This baby proves its mettle with Knight Rider-esque high-speed desert runs. Over and over again. Aside from the repetitive cinematography, we do get a glimpse of some rad digital gauges straight out of the turbo-boost era along with a glorious turbine symphony. Mmmmmm, high RPM goodness.

<![CDATA[The Mercedes-Benz 280E Has The Funk!]]> The early-70s ship of love in this German-market ad doesn't have fuzzy dice, but it does have bongos in the back. We dig the groovy soundtrack and outfits, of course, but the sight of big ol' German cars roaring around a banked track makes us even happier.
