New BMW M1 Exists Only In Imagination Land

This image popped up over the weekend being touted as a prototype BMW M1 snapped during a candid moment in a Spanish hanger. As we all know, major automakers regularly keep priceless, top secret, never before seen but completely finished supercars stored in regional airports, without camo on them. Well, there was that…

Chinese Car Maker Knocks-Off Prius, Leaves Off Wheel, May Be Electric

three-wheel-electric-prius.jpgSometimes, less is more. These three-wheeled knock offs of western cars might be such a case. Sure, they're not safe, they're poorly made and they're slow, but who wouldn't want to drive one? More cute and cuddly than their western counterparts, Jin Da Lu's copies are likely to be way more efficient too, powered by an…

Detroit Auto Show: Rancheroized Lincoln MKT Concept; No, It's Not Real

lincoln_pickup_spec.jpgIf Lincoln had a sense of humor, they might have gone with a Ranchero version of the MKT concept that's showing in Detroit today. Of course, they did build the Blackwood pickup, so they're not completely without irony, intended or not. Still, we're not relying on The Man to supply such a car; instead we turn to…

Rolls-Royce Phantom Delivery Wagon

rollsvan1.jpgWe've shown the odd yet endearing work of CWW Studios before. Essentially, they are pinball Photoshop wizards the turn pictures of regular cars into wagons. Or Limos. Or Coupes. Or SUVs.

2008_Ferrari_575_GTZSpyder.jpgZagato would like to inform you the supposed Zagato 575 GTZ Spyder is a fake. A rep from the venerable Italian design firm says the shot we ran earlier this week — the one that triggered some puzzled stares around the Jalopnik virtual campus — is an "illegally photoshopped" spec of the Zagato 575 GTZ coupe, a one-off…

De Tomaso Revisited: The Stefan Schulze "Panthera"

schultze_panthera.jpg3D artist and designer Stefan Schulze did something we wish someone inside an actual car company would — revive the design of the Ford V8-powered De Tomaso Pantera of the 1970s.

A 'Cuda for Chrysler? Foose Hints Yes

chrysler_cuda_spec.jpg

What's this, then? Apparently during an interview at the New York auto show, hot rod supernova Chip Foose hinted at a possible Chrysler 'Cuda to join the upcoming Dodge Challenger. Of course, without Plymouth, resurrecting the original "Hemi 'Cuda" would seem a hollow exercise. Maybe Chipper was talking about a new…
