Tres Chic VW Beetle Trailer

When a person has taste, even a trailer can become a piece of art. Created from a chopped classic VW Beetle, the elegantly styled motorcycle/scooter trailer was apparently spotted somewhere in France.

Duke Of Hazzard Boss Hog’s Cadillac Eldorado for Sale

The 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible that was used in the 2005 film version of the Dukes of Hazzard featuring Burt Reynolds as “Boss Hog” is up for sale on eBay.

Audi to Debut Reconstructed 1939 Silver Arrow at Goodwood Festival

At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed that takes place in the U.K. from July 11 to 13, Audi will take the wraps off an authentic reconstruction of the original Auto Union "Silver Arrow" Type D Dual Compressor from 1939. Construction of the 420Hp 12-cylinder racing car, the original version of which won two Grands Prix in the hands of H.P. Müller and Tazio Nuvolari, took four years and took place entirely in England by specialist workshop Crosthwaite & Gardiner in Buxted, East Sussex.

The reconstructed Type D racing car, which was the last version of the Auto Union "Silver Arrow" cars (1934 to 1939) to be developed by Auto Union's Racing Division in Zwickau, will be taken on its maiden drive by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.

Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera Readying Ferrari Model?

Remember “Carozzeria Touring Superleggera”, the rejuvenated Italian coachbuilder that surprised us at this year’s Concorso d'Eleganza classic car show with the presentation of the Maserati A8CGS Berlinetta Coupe and the Maserati Quattroporte Bellagio Fastback Touring?

According to our Dutch friend Vincent from “Autoblog.nl”, the Italian coachbuilder is readying a custom made Ferrari model that will make its debut in the forthcoming months – maybe even at the Paris Auto Show this fall. Although this has not been confirmed yet, Carozzeria Touring Superleggera’s coupe will most probably be based on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

Cuda Cabriolet Concept Appears at Cars & Coffee Meeting

The custom made Cuda Cabriolet concept that we first told you about back in May made yet another public appearance, this time at this past weekend’s “Cars and Coffee” car gathering in Irvine, California. Like the Cuda Coupe Concept that stirred a bit of a commotion at last year’s SEMA Show in LA, the retro-penned Convertible was also built by “Metalcrafters”. From the little we know about it, it's based on the Chrysler 300 / Dodge Charger platform using a modern HEMI V8 engine. -More pics after the jump

F(i)errari Dino Replica for sale on eBay

We’ve seen more Pontiac Fieros transformed into Italian supercars than the actual car itself, so even if this is the first time that we’ve laid our eyes on a classic Ferrari Dino variant, we can’t say that we’re surprised. Despite the fact that the Dino replica wouldn’t even come close to fooling any car aficionado, we’d give the owner a C+ for at least attempting to create something different. -Continued

One Really Bad C3 Corvette

We’re not really comfortable with modifying classics like the C3 Corvette (1969-1982), but in this case, we’re forced to make an exception. Painted in a sinister matte black finish, this awesome custom-made Corvette is bad to the bone, full of sensual curves and pure muscle. There’s no note of the whereabouts of this Mako Shark Vette, but in one picture we see a Peugeot 205 in the background so we’re guessing its somewhere in Europe. If any of you can identify the origin of the license plates, leave us a comment below. -More pics after the jump

Blast from the Past: BMW E30 M3 EVO vs Mercedes 190E 2.5 16v

We discovered this scanned article from the 1988 September issue of Car Magazine comparing the BMW M3 2.5 Evolution I with the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16v over at our friends at VW Vortex. The eloquently written comparison test by George Kacher is not only eye-catching but it also brought back many pre-internet era memories when as kids, we just couldn’t wait to get our hands on the latest car magazines and feed our four-wheeled obsession.

Check out the scanned article (click the pics to enlarge) after the jump along with a set of high-res pictures of the BMW M3 E30s and the Mercedes 190E 2.3/2.5/EVO that we managed to dig out of our archive. -Continued
