Remember how the “new Supra” was rumored to be a mid-engine hybrid for like, years and years? Concepts like the Toyota Alessandro Volta from 2004 certainly made us feel like that could be the case. The Italdesign-Giugiaro body packed a hybrid 3.3-liter V6 mounted in the center and all-wheel drive.
“Alonso, you have my respect. I hope the people of Indianapolis will remember you.” IndyCar’s youngest winner, Colton Herta, has the Infinity Stones. This is his official Indy 500 portrait.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Mitsubishi Evo IX lately. I’m awake at night thinking about a turbocharged 4, all wheel drive, rally provenance. My productivity has been reduced to nothing as I dream of the performance version of a startlingly average sedan. I can do nothing else but think, dream, and feel Evo.
A new week has arrived, and with it endless possibilities! Hop in your Mitsubishi Delica off-road van and seize the day.
What you’re looking at is one of the strangest production cars of this millennium: the Renault Avantime (meaning “ahead of its time”). It was a B-pillar-less, panoramic glass roof-having, two-door luxury coupé based on the Renault Espace minivan, and built in low quantities (total production was under 9,000) between…
Sir, put the accessory catalog down and back away slowly. (And have a nice weekend.)
ItalDesign’s Aston Martin Twenty Twenty Concept comes from the year 2001, and it was meant to imagine what an Aston roadster would look like in 2020. I think the actual cars ended up looking better.
Did 2003 really happen, or were we all living in an alternate universe where this kind of thing seemed normal? Everything from the chrome big n’ littles to the color-shift paint to the SpoCom crazy EP3 Civic Si-shaped body basically carbon dates this car as having been built in the early 2000s. The great thing about…
My hobby is to tow my sailboats down to the beach with my Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport. I don’t actually sail, I just think they look cool.
Listen! If this Golf Syncro can climb a mountain like it’s a dang Land Rover Defender, you can get through Thursday.
Today marks 25 years since the world said a far-too-early goodbye to Ayrton Senna. We have more to say about this anniversary, but for now, let this photo of him driving an NSX inspire you to seize the day.
You there! This is no time to lay about in a grassy field. It’s Monday, and that means time to hop in your Paul Newman Edition Nissan Skyline 2000GT and get to work!
It’s 4/26, so take some time to consider Hemi-swapping your dog this weekend.
Certain facts are objectively true, and beyond dispute. Like how Nardo Grey is the best color for an Audi.
Some big *personal* news for me: I have just discovered the Avantgarde special editions of the Mercedes 190E, and their incredibly ’90s interiors. And I am in love.
It’s time to fill up a double load and get trucking into the weekend in my old reliable 1966 Mercedes-Benz LAK 1620 short-nose truck. The passenger’s seat is open if you’d like to come along for the ride. Load ‘em up, move ‘em out, good buddy. :Honk Honk:
It’s Friday! Get out there and chase some sunshine, like this Toyota Celica here. It’s in the name and everything.
