2017 Aston Martin DB4 GT Continuation

New and old at the same time.

Jaguar made six ‘continuation’ E-type Lightweights a few years ago now Aston is building an all-new batch of 25 DB4 GTs! Each costs £1.5m 😦

They we building from the digitally scan of eight original cars and from 450 original drawings.  Original suppliers have been used, for example Borani famous wire wheels is building it again because still had the tooling! Or the agreement with coachbuilder Touring of Milan, who designed the bodywork.

Thanks Aston! Love to see more gorgeous DB4 GT on the streets!

2017 Aston Martin Valkyrie

Aero genius Adrian Newey (from Red Bull F1) + Aston Martin = Valkyrie.

And incredible car with 1130 hp 6.5 liter V12 + electric motor. Only weight 1030-kg!  That means the Valkyrie is roughly 60 pounds lighter than the Mazda MX-5 Miata, with more power than a 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari!  10 seconds to go from 0 to 320km/h!

They’re only making 150, run if you have the money!

2017 Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake and Speedster

One of my favourite cars during the last years was the 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato. After it we’ve known the 2017 Volante edition, another gorgeous beast! And now, using the same V12 529 hp, Zagato created a new modification of this incredible design: Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Speedster and Shooting Brake.

Ok.. DB10 was great, DB11 promise to be a new era on Aston Martin design, but guys, let Zagato design all our bodies.  His pen and Aston heritage mix so good! We want more!

2017 Honda Sport EV Concept

If you loved Honda’s Urban EV Concept you’ll fall in love with the sportive sibling. A great proof of gorgeous design has not to mean 7 digits pricing, or electric car has not to be full of ugly complex futuristic lines.

A very low roof, long and a nice fastback. Nice B-pillar. Only a problem Honda has confirmed Urban EV goes into production, but no news about this Sport EV 😦

 

2007 RUF CTR3

RUF is the largest and most renowned company to make Porsche performance enhancements. But also RUF is officially a German car manufacturer, sometimes they craft their own cars using Ruf-made parts and materials.

In 1960, Alois Jr. began servicing and restoring Porsche automobiles out of his father’s garage. His passion was oriented to Porsche and especially the 911. Sharing with you the CTR3, one of the few that are not a tuned 91. Tt’s a mid-engine car featuring a Ruf designed body with a Porsche derived engine 3.8 liter boxer 6 cyl and 691 hp.

White car is Clubsport edition.

1965 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Centurion

Centurion is a custom C1 Corvette built by Fiberfab (a custom car builder founded in 1964).  Fiberfab taked inspiration from Bill Mitchell’s original 1959 XP-87 Stingray concept car and racer. The result is a nice design with iconic dual headrest fairings on the rear deck..t

Powered by 4.6-liter V8 engine. This car it was fully restored with a striking Inca Silver body color. Enjoy the pics.

1967 Ford GT40 Mk IV

Gooding & Company’s will auction the very last Ford GT40 Mk. IV. The last of 12 GT40 chassis built by Ford for 1967. And when it was built, it was really just a chassis built as a spare for the cars Ford took to Le Mans. Now, it’s been completed, has a V8 525 hp… and it’s really nice!  Thanks to Mathieu Heurtault pictures!
