Beautiful Le Mans Classic photo shoot from Laurent Nivalle.
Another installment in the “Simple Things Done Well” series. This is the Nissan Figaro, produced in 1989. I don’t own one, so I can’t speak to the car’s functionality or reliability, but every time I cross this image in my morgue file I stop and admire.
The CB/1: Zero to 60 miles per hour in a blistering 2.85 seconds and the quarter-mile in 10.5 at 135 mph.
The 2009 Trabant nT concept car—a wonderful refresh of the 1963 auto: (via Kottke)
A German consortium is developing a slick, updated version of the Trabant, communist East Germany’s famously unreliable mass-produced car. The new model is electric with solar panels on the roof — in stark contrast to the fume-belching original.
Yes please.
The concept is powered by a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine, putting out a total of 211 horsepower which should deliver a fun driving experience when taken into the corners.
I already consider Minis to be the best designed cars on the road, but this is just breathtaking.
