Since when did they do a Hyundai limo? Or is it something else, I thought it was a Maybach or Mercedes

 

[SiriusR]

Might be done by a third-party. As far as I remember, there are companies that stretch cars into limos.

1987 Porsche 928 S4 Cabriolet Concept

The 924 Coupe is already a fascinating an futuristically styled car, but in convertible form, it looks even more graceful.

Did even more digging and found this:



And here's the original 924 prototype dating back to 1974.

I remember the 4-door. There's a burbundy one floating around. Panamera took a long time to get here.

As much as I'm not a fan of 928's styling, I do find the convertible quite beautiful, at least from the rear end.
It also heavily reminds me of 997 this way

What’s this again? I know it’s a AMC but forgot if it is a Javelin or not, it was parked next to a Javelin

Google says it is an AMC Matadore

AMC Matadore

Sounds Eye-talian.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

The styling reminds me of the Ford Maverick, only this AMC is bigger.

That's not just a Matador, but the Barcelona Coupe sold only in 1977 and 1978. The Matador coupe was a lot different from the Matador sedan it was based on. This is the 1978 AMC Matador Barcelona sedan. You can see how different they looked.

An American car with vent windows in 1978? That's pretty neat.

Some more Porsches I discovered digging deep into Google.

I love the Campagnolos on that Frua.

There's also the 914 by Goertz:

NEW SOVIET SUPERCAR SET TO...

• WOW THE CROWDS AT MOTORSHOW
• TAKE ON THE BOURGEOISIE
• APPEAR IN INSURANCE ADS A LOT BUT NEVER GO ON SALE

The Mirov II was built as a 1:1 mock-up for a TV advertisement of Norwich Union insurance company. Conceived as a fictional sportscar from the Soviet Union the Mirov II was built by Jon Bunker in two life-size examples. The base of these creations was a British UVA M6 GTR kit car. Later, Brian Thompson bought one of these mock-ups and spent nine years to convert it to a driveable roadcar. The Mirov II received a mid-mounted Renault 2.6-litre V6 engine.

Of course they did away with all the faux gadgetry for the roadworthy conversion. Registered since 2003:

1993 Alfa Romeo 155 GTA Stradale









Only one of these Italian stallions were ever made. It was powered by a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four making 190hp, and had AWD as well as four-wheel steering. Oh, what could've been.​

Whilst looking at awfully modified Azteks and Rendezvous' on Google Images, I stumbled upon the Buick Signia, of which I was already familiar with. But when I started to search further for said Signia, I came across these two concept cars: the Cadillac Voyage and Solitaire.

I'm actually in love with both these designs, specifically the Voyage. If either one of these were actual production models I would definitely have to have it.

Both designs somehow manage to look classical yet futuristic at the same time, which is something I almost never see. Remarkable.

Ah, GM Design under Chuck Jordan.

If I'm not mistaken, they were bestowed with V12s developed with assistance from Lotus.

 

[Populuxe]

I like those both quite a bit. Here's an article about them. The Voyage was the four door and it's from 1988. AWD, 275 hp V8, 200 mph. The Solitaire is the coupe, it's from 1989, and used a 430 hp 6.6 liter V12 co-developed with Lotus.

Ah, well I was half right. How long do you suppose something of that size would take to get to 200mph with 275hp?

I was wondering that myself. How long does it take to cross Oklahoma the long way?

Anyone got an idea what this car is?

The truck looks cool though.

Great, thank you! Looks like a pretty fun cup car!
The name is interesting though.

 

[MatskiMonk]

The M12, always the uglier of the Nazca's IMHO. Still, it'll bug me until I die that BMW never took Ital up on these designs.

1999 Quaife R4-GTS

This was the first motor vehicle manufactured by Quaife, a British transmission company. It was powered by a 6.0L Ford V8 making 600hp, had AWD, and was mated to a 6-speed manual transmission made by Quaife.

It even raced, in GT1.

[Dennisch]

It's a Mclaren F40.

Earlier today, I just found out those existed. Saw them the current 24H COTA race.

What’s this Dodge? Saw it at the Woodward Dream Cruise
