We have overlooked one thing: the V-Spec. The V-Spec R35 will have more HP, a more Skyline-like rear spoiler, a cooler front bumper, and - hopefully (this is me speculating) - will not have the restrictions on it that the regular GT-R R35 has.

EDIT: And even if not, most tuners would probably say "Pfft, who needs the warranty?" and merrily void it.

he's got a point...

anyway, has anyone made a note of the Audi R8 V12 TDI, Aston-Martin DBS(bit old), and BMW Concept CS(also old, but ther's a new one...)

I'm obsessed with Evos, and has anyone ever thought that the Ralliart version should be a lot FASTER, and steer a lot better, rather than be a cheaper version? I mean, it's like AMG downgrading a SL500...

The whole notion of having a rally-based car has dissapeared with the WORSE version being named ralliart...

does anyone actually LIKE the new miura concept???

powerof1000 · Post by **powerof1000** » 24 Feb 2008, 11:32

I didn't like the looks of it from the official pics. But I found some that someone took when they went to the Lamborghini museum, it looks awesome, i'll go and find them.

you know, when car manuafacturers try to replicate a older, iconic model, they often lose the feel.

The only mass-produced replica I like the new Shelby Mustang, which has the same basics as last time-ox-cart technology, cheaper than competition, cheapo interior, but sheer power kind of makes up for it...

I didn't like the old Miura, looked too simple, and I don't like the new one, either...

Doesn't look like much of a change from the 63-77 Miura to the 06 one. Not the kind of work I would expect from Lamborghini.

I think the concept is much better than the older verison. a 99.9% improvement on the exterior side.

Does anybody know why Lamborghini's signature color is yellow? it looks good on gllardoes, but doesn't fit the evil raven called a Murcielago...

Another

for you. The Murcielago is my favourite Lambo, and it looks awesome in yellow.

Red and yellow are often used on Italian cars, red because it's the official Italian racing color from a long time back.
Most countries that make fast cars/racing cars and who have made them from the early days have special country colors.

- Red (rosso Corsa): Italy (Ferarri, Alfa)
- Silver: Germany (Mercedes BMW, Audi)
- Green Brittish Racing green: UK (Jaguar, Aston Martin)
- Blue: France (bugatti)
- White with red: Japan (honda, toyota)
- white with blue stripes (Cunningham racing stripes) or
- Blue with white stripes (Cunningham racing stripes) USA (Ford, Shelby)

sooooooo......

no yellow, or, more suprisingly, black?

I always thought that Mercedes/BMW/Ausi were black/silver?

Yay, Wiki.

Man I love Lexus. The cars have a modern styling, but aren't TOO radical like the Toyota and Mazda concepts.

Booo Ford. But the Interceptor still is a nice concept.

donaldgladden · Post by **donaldgladden** » 29 Feb 2008, 22:19

i think the Morgan Aero 8 is already produced and what not

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 01 Mar 2008, 01:58

Interceptor concept reminds me of a bar of soap...

That Mustang concept is old.

The Morgan Aero 8 has been in production since 2000.

Striker94 · Post by **Striker94** » 01 Mar 2008, 08:26

yeah, the Morgan Aero 8 has been in production for over 6 years now. I've never seen the Aeromax tho...

I know it's old but did anyone see the orange Mustang by an italien designer? I forgot what it's called, but it looks a lot better than the normal one.

The Interceptor looks kinda DUB, somthing a rap star might buy.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 01 Mar 2008, 18:10

The symbol looks nothing like Cadillac, but this is Cadillac's EcoJet concept.

The CTS looks pretty nice. A little chunky, but it at least doesn't make me toss my cookies.

powerof1000 · Post by **powerof1000** » 02 Mar 2008, 00:31

But from the back, it looks like a prius

donaldgladden · Post by **donaldgladden** » 02 Mar 2008, 01:39

the ecojet would own with a nice paintjob. The CTS kinda does look like a prius

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 02 Mar 2008, 01:41

This user doesn't see how it looks like a prius. >>
