WOW!!!!

As Lexus would say when getting up off its laurels: "We definitely have a problem!"

 

The Motorama car is interesting with its hood surface below the fenders. Harley Earl was noted for wanting "power dome" designs.

 

Looks as though Caddy is fully embracing a new design language, a return to names vs. alpha numerics, and electrification. I've always loved the Caddy concepts, and the media present (Road & Track, Car & Driver, Peter Lorenzo, etc) at GM's global ev day seems to be quite impressed with what were apparently two extraordinary close to production vehicles; a sedan and suv. A very near future hand-built-halo and technology tour de force Cadillac? Sounds promising, anyway.

Kinda cool full-size solution ...

 

I guess I've been living under a rock too long.....a couple of these Hot Wheels cars show SO much more creative thinking than this years Ridler cars.........(okay, overlook the craftsmanship thing.......) Image Unavailable, Please Login

I had a big briefcase kind of thing that held around forty Matchbox Cars. Every slot was full. All the cool ones from about 1966 to 1971.

Lost it in a move somehow. The Ford GT was my favorite.

 

Here is a retake on a golden oldie ad for your amusement and entertainment this dreary morning. Not an endorsement by me- I contend these folks have lost their mojo.

 

Ruf rodeo concept Porsche. I wonder what kinds of ways Ferrari's could be reimagined.

Love the "golden spiral" treatment of the passenger compartments!

Hard pass, yuck.

 

I kinda like it. Much more than that Valkyrie monstrosity

 

I find the use of the entire hood panel as a scoop interesting; pretty meh on the rest.

not a fan of these pseudo "speedsters". Ferrari's done a couple, Jag & Bentley as well.
If the DB4 was the "gentleman's express" these are "dilettante's express"...

 

Not a fan of wings on 911s, let alone this Thule/Weathertech heartthrob.

 

Gemballa took a stab at an offroad/adventure 911, too. Izzy, look away!

I'm not sure that word sees much in use in Gemballa HQ...

"If less is more, just think about how much more MORE is!" (Or, if you prefer: "there is no kill like overkill")

 

Gemballa version will feature strakes.......

 

Someone drove their new Supra into a wall?
