It's GONE - Before Chrysler Corporation made the Cordoba advertised by Ricardo Montalban in the 1975. Apparently earlier in 1970 already existed the other ones known as the Cordoba de Oro Concept was a radical statement of the "fuselage" look then popular with cars wearing the Pentastar, and also its name corrected the Dodge Deora’s bad Spanish. Fresh concept...
The Cordoba de Oro Concept was a radical statement of the "fuselage" featured with very wedge-shaped concept. (Picture from: Forcbodiesonly)
As we all know that for many years Chrysler displayed several show cars, and in 1970 the American car manufacturer showed a very wedge-shaped car concept, called the Cordoba de Oro. The wedge design became popular with auto designers in the late 1960s, and would eventually make it to the high-end market in the 1980s with the DeLorean DMC-12, the Lotus Esprit, and the Lamborghini Countach.

This car was designed by Elwood Engel and featured a cantilevered roof with no A-pillars. The fact, this kind of car model was originally pioneered byVirgil Exner which was applied to the 1956 Chrysler Norseman Concept which had sunk together with the Andrea Doria more than decades before. And Exner’s successor as Chrysler styling chief Elwood Engelre-applied such this kind of cantilevered roof with minimal A pillars on this Cordoba de Oro.

As an automotive designer, Engel is remembered mostly for his work on Chrysler’s turbine cars and
his muscle car designs, the latter of which include the 1968 Dodge
Charger (his 1966 Charger prototype bears some resemblance to the Cordoba de Oro), the 1970 Dodge Challenger, and the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda.
The Cordoba de Oro Concept did have a common concept car gizmo that’s become a common feature on today’s cars such as an experimental, grille-shaped headlights. (Picture from: Forcbodiesonly)
The Cordoba de Oro was built on the standard Chrysler wheelbase of 124 inches, Though all the publicity photos of the car seem to have been in black and white, but this snapshot taken at the 1970 Chicago Auto Show explains the car’s real skin such its name which looks gorgeous in a shimmering gold tint.
The Cordoba de Oro Concept's seats were trimmed in gold leather to match the car’s exterior, and developed by Allied Chemical that had an integrated lap and shoulder belt system. (Picture from: Forcbodiesonly)
The interior featured novel adjustable pedestal bucket seats developed by Allied Chemical that had an integrated lap and shoulder belt system. The seats were trimmed in gold leather to match the car’s exterior. It’s not clear if it was of the soft Corinthian type.
The Cordoba de Oro Concept also featured with a thermostatically controlled air intake, coupled with a camera and tv monitor that replaced the conventional rear view mirror. (Picture from: Forcbodiesonly)

UniqueONES The name was unique and immediately raises the question What is this? It is one of the automotive creations made by an Indonesian autobuilder named Denny Kusumah. And this is the Dakodok, as this unique car is called, which is crossbreeding results of the Volkswagen Type-2, which in Indonesia is known as the VW Dakota, with the Volkswagen Beetle or the Indonesians usually call it the VW Kodok. Well, that's where the name Dakodok comes from.
The Dakodok is a 'cross-breeding' result custom car between VW Dakota and VW Kodok built by Indonesian car builder Denny Kusumah. (Picture from: Era.id)
As quoted from AirCooledSyndicate, the creator said that his Dakodok was inspired by a unique custom toy he saw while attending the 2016 Yohohama Hot Rod Custom Show event in Yokohama, Japan. It was a customizable toy consisting of two units, namely the VW Split Bus and the VW Split Bug. After returning from Japan, the toy was forgotten.
The Dakodok made by an Indonesia auto builder named Denny Kusumah will be made into one of Hot Wheels Legend Tour diecast series models. (Picture from: Kompas)
When Denny Kusumah intended to make a custom VW that would be displayed at one of the VW shows in Indonesia, it came back to his mind, and finally the idea was executed by him. In short, then he made a somewhat unique modification process by removing the front of the VW Beetle by cutting the B-pillar and leaving half the VW Beetle from the B-pillar to the rear.
The Dakodok's door has extreme changes, by adopting the suicide door types with no handle, so to open the door from the outside, you must use a remote system key that will open it automatically. (Picture from: TheGasPol)
Uniquely, this crossbreeding process does not use an original VW Dakota. Then where did the face of the VW Dakota come from? The such face was obtained by making it by himself starting from the front roof, the distinctive face and nose with a split windshield.
The Dakodok has an extreme looks by adopting from the Volkswagen Type-2 with its distinctive split windshield. (Picture from: AirCooledSyndicate)
The same thing was done on the chassis, where the Beetle chassis was taken half to the rear, then remade the front chassis to suit the face of the VW Dakota. Precisely this is the automaker's real work, he should be carefully calculated the length and strength of the chassis that is connected to the rear chassis pieces of the VW Beetle.
The Dakodok has extreme looks of crossbreeding between VW Beetle from the B-pillar to the rear and VW Dakota in front. (Picture from: AirCooledSyndicate)
Apart from that, another difficulty was when adjusting the size of the large face of the VW Dakota with the small tail of the VW Beetle. So the roof, door and head must be made with their own dimensions. So if we look closely, the face size of the VW Dakota is actually smaller than the original one because it adapts to the tail of the VW Beetle.
The Dakodok's legs are installed adjusters so that the car looks low and pinned with 17-inches Iron Cross alloy wheels wrapped in 205/40 Achilles tires. (Picture from: AirCooledSyndicate)
Moreover, the Dakodok's door has extreme changes, by adopting the suicide door types. Uniquely, the door has no handle, so to open the door from the outside, you must use a remote system key that will open it automatically.
The Dakodok's cabin is filled with the dashboard panels follow the original VW Dakota coupled with two 'Jump Seat' type custom seats made of aluminum alloy. (Picture from: AirCooledSyndicate)
On the other exterior, the fender looks wider than the usual VW Beetle and the fender cover is added. This aims to balance with the front or face of the VW Dakota. Not to forget, the rear glass frame was changed from the large glass of the 1962 Beetle to the glass of the VW Dakota or Beetle. And the details of the hood also follow the car's year, namely with the W-shaped hood that was commonly used on the VW Beetle of the 1950s.
At the rear, due to the narrow space, it was not possible to place VW's real gas tank, so the automaker put sufficient custom gas tank in the position of rear seat. (Picture from: AirCooledSyndicate)
While for the interior, the dashboard panels follow the original VW Dakota coupled with two 'Jump Seat' type custom seats made of aluminum alloy. At the rear, due to the narrow space, it was not possible to place VW's real gas tank, so the automaker put sufficient custom gas tank in the position of rear seat.
The Dakodok still uses the original VW Beetle 1200 drivetrain which is connected to the original Beetle transmission as well. (Picture from: AirCooledSyndicate)
On the legs are installed adjusters so that the car looks low and pinned with 17-inches Iron Cross alloy wheels wrapped in 205/40 Achilles tires. As the Dakodok's posture is quite small, the engine part still uses the original VW Beetle 1200 drivetrain which is connected to the original Beetle transmission as well.
The Dakodok's rear section also follows the car's year, namely with the W-shaped hood that was commonly used on the VW Beetle of the 1950s. (Picture from: AirCooledSyndicate)
Finally, as the finishing, Dakodok was painted in a combination of red and white as a symbol of the Indonesian flag. Because the process of making this custom car is considered to have a high level of difficulty, the automaker must work diligently in his workshop in Bandung for 6 years from 2016 to 2022 to make it as you can see today.
After completion, Dakodok was then included in several local and abroad custom car contests and managed to win several prestigious titles such as 1st place in the Hot Wheels Legends Tour Indonesia 2022 event, then 1st place in Hot Wheels Fan Favorite Asia Pacific held by World Hot Wheels Legend.
And included Top 10 Finalists of the Hot Wheels Legend Global Grand Final on November 12, 2022 virtually in the US. As a result, the Dakodok made by an Indonesia auto builder will be made into one of Hot Wheels Legend Tour 1:64 scaled diecast series models. *** [EKA |FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AIRCOOLEDSYNDICATE | MEDIA INDONESIA | ERA.ID | THEGASPOL | KOMPAS | WARTA EKONOMI | REPUBLIKA ]
SuperBEAST Some time ago there was a lot of buzz on the internet about a Ferrari Enzo FXX was managed to transform into a very fierce beast on the race track. WELL, the story begins when a yellow-black Ferrari Enzo FXX lost control and then plunged into a salt-water lake during the 2011 Goldrush Rally race, at Targa Newfoundland to be precise, and it is certain that the supercar had suffered considerable damage.
This is the one-and-only Zahir Rana's Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution by Edo Competition while on running test at the Nürburgring. (Picture from: CarBuzz)
It's inconceivable when a super car like the Ferrari Enzo which has such a fantastic value suffers severe damage, of course it requires a huge amount of money to be able to restore it to its original state. Maybe it will cost the same as a new Ferrari. So usually for most owners will buy a new car and let the damaged one stay that way. Economically, that is not bad decision.
The one-and-only Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution posed along with the owner Zahir Rana. (Picture from: Otosia)
But there are other options that can be expensive but more wise considering that the Ferrari Enzo is one of the rare supercars and too expensive to be left to rot and rust, turn out then this choice was taken by the owner Zahir Rana. In short, after undergoing repairing and refurbishment processes for approximately 12 months carried out by Edo Competition for ZR Auto, finally this supercar was successfully reborn with the name Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution.
The Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution has a new aerodynamic design coupled with a lower body plus a single air scoop on the roof. (Picture from: Otosia)
Covered in the same yellow color as before, the Ferrari ZXX Evolution has a new aerodynamic design coupled with a lower body plus a single air scoop on the roof. Of course, this reincarnation of the Ferrari Enzo FXX will produce extraordinary performance.
The Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution also gained a completely new, made-to-measure interior, with the newly developed Edo ZXX. (Picture from: UtilityWallet)
There is no need to doubt it, the performance of the original Enzo. How come, by using a 6.0-liter V12 engine capable of producing around 651 hp, it can push it up to 62 mph (100 kph) in 3.6 seconds and 124 mph (200 kph) in 10.3 seconds. Furthermore it conquered a quarter-mile in 11 seconds flat and offers a drag-limited top speed of 221 mph (355 kph.)
There a completely new interior was constructed to give the XX the complete look with two new lightweight black racing bucket seats adorned with typical yellow-threads stitched. (Picture from: UtilityWallet)
Now compare that to the Edo Competition upgraded version, however, and the aferomentioned figures seem almost nothing. Let's see for the ZXX's engine output is increasing up to 840 hp (some said 950 hp), which translates to a 0-62 mph time in 3.2 seconds, a 0-124 mph time in 9 seconds, and an estimated top speed of 241 mph (388 kph). This is definitely a pretty big performance jump.
The Ferrari Enzo ZXX now boasts a 6.5L Ferrari V12 motor, fully re-built by Edo Competition, and capable of producing 950 horsepower. (Picture from: GTSpirit)
It was all made possible thanks to a large number of successful efforts put into bringing about such this final performance figures. The entire engine was reworked as displacement was increased to 6.3 litres, new camshafts were added, and new titanium valve spring retainers and connecting rods were introduced. The modified cylinder head and special muffler are combined to support the exhaust flow with roaring about 142 decibels (considered too loud for the Nürburgring).
Rather than traditional side-view-mirrors, the Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution is outfitted with three back-up cameras with view screens inside the cabin of the car. (Picture from: Otosia)
Not only that, it turns out that the transmission shift time has been reduced to 60 milliseconds from 110 milliseconds, coupled with a fully adjustable racing suspension, that's could means a handful tame on the road, then could become a real beast on the track.
Then its aerodynamic suit package that is worn is truly unique and specifically designed to increase downforce and stability at high speeds. It includes new features such as a special ground effect, rear skirt, adjustable rear wing profile, and a retractable rear wing with a higher flap, many others.
Actually what is mentioned in here is not much, there is much more than this. But, when you spend so much money on a supercar like this. What do you expect exactly? And that brings us to an important question. How much is the Ferrari Enzo ZXX custom of Edo Competition for ZR Auto?
There's been a lot of speculation, one of them as in 2018, in which you'd have to spend a minimum of $2.4 million for a decent genuine Enzo. Add up all the upgrades and consider a substantial workforce and you're looking at another $1 million on top. So, for about $3.5 million, or the price of a new Ferrari LaFerrari, you can own this Enzo ZXX beast. Keep in mind that's an estimate for 2018, and for today maybe more than that.😉 *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | EDOCOMPETITION | GTSPIRIT | CARSCOOPS | CARBUZZ | UTILITYWALLET | WIKIPEDIA ]
UniqueONES Indeed, there is not much information regarding this Mercedes-Benz made concept vehicle, although in fact this was the first contact those German automotive manufacturer had with the rotary piston engine, aka the Wankel engine, shortly after the less known SLX project was discontinued in 1966.
From the late 1960s through the 70s, Mercedes-Benz engineers worked on an experimental Wankel engine technology program, and this was possibly the first car to be used as the C101 test mule of 1968. (Picture from: mb143.ru)
The story begins in 1961, when discussions about the new engine concept of the rotary piston engine came more and more to the fore at Mercedes-Benz top brass circles. At the time, numerous intense discussions about the new engine concept based on the idea of Felix Wankel, brought up the pros and cons, when it came to the possibility of realizing it in those days.
In short, Mercedes-Benz decided to conclude a license agreement with Felix Wankel that allowed the use of his engine. At the same time, the company should be researched to develop the rotating combustion engine, and the first thoughts came to fruition internally as to which cars would be equipped with the Wankel engine in the future.
The C101 Wankel-engined test mule did its first test drive at the Hockenheimring on July,15 in 1969. (Picture from: mb143.ru)
Although the Mercedes-Benz technicians mastered a number of technical hurdles and developed forcefully, they did not succeed in handling the major difficulties such as ostensibly the high fuel consumption and the poor exhaust gas values.
As quoted from Nasshan, the company was made a decision that the new engine should be tested for the first time in a small sports car in the end 1968. The project internally name was the abbreviation C101. The car was powered be a three-disc engine with a displacement of 600 cc each and a total output of 280 hp.

And the Mercedes-Benz crew did the first test drive at the Hockenheimring on July,15 in 1969. Actually, the car's shape that was the first to undergo a test drive related to the C101 project has never been seen officially until today. Even in various official documents from the manufacturer bearing the three-pointed star logo was never shown off its shape.
The 1968 C101 successor known as the Mercedes-Benz C111 research car series, ie 1969 Mercedes Benz C111-I (left), 1970 Mercedes Benz C111-II (middle), and 1969 Mercedes Benz C111-I first prototype (right) posed together. (Picture from: Pinterest)
Thankfully we currently live in modern times full with sophisticated gadgets so we can immediately find out. As seen in a few documentation photos scattered in internet today, the car that was originally used as a test mule to carry the Wankel engine is somewhat unique and seems sober, which physically like it was a weird sports car with flat bed at rear.
Presumably test drive was the
first step to public for the until then secret development. This then invites curiosity of a professional photographer from Leica-Studio Wörner to came to the race track on this particular day, then took several phenomenal photos of this such weird looking Mercedes-Benz prototype.
Then related to its current mysterious whereabouts, it looks like the original car was either scrapped or further developed its design for later project of C111. At least that's the only logical reason to explain about its whereabouts. What do you think? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MB143.RU | AUTOWP.RU | NASSHAN ]
ForgottenONES The sportscar makers in the 1960s was being in transition era to shift from the front-mounted drivetrain layout towards to the mid-mounted ones. As we all know, the realization of those idea into reality was first pioneered by the small-time Italian company ATS through the ATS 2500 GT in 1963, while others like Lamborghini directly applied it to its production versions of sportscars, the Miura in 1966.
The Mercedes-Benz SLX prototype while sat on display at the Techno Classic in Essen back in 2019, as it clearly visible is the questionable style feature of the large rear air intake. (Picture from: Roarington)
Meanwhile, many other automakers also apply it to their racing cars that compete in various world-renowned races, such as Ferrari were already racing using its mid-engined 250 LM racers, Porsche with its 904 and Ford later joined on the fun with 1964's GT40. So where was Mercedes-Benz at that time? As history tells us, Mercedes-Benz wanted a seat at the table to kick back and relax away from the serious business of producing the world's best luxury sedans. But is it really so?
The Mercedes-Benz SLX featured with a sleek body with arched fenders, pop-up headlights, and an oversized three point star on the nose, and in pictured while sat on display at the Mercedes-Benz Museum. (Picture from: Roarington)
As quoted from Roarington, the real fact is not so, Mercedes-Benz management at that time had also thought in that direction, considering since the company retired after the tragedy at Le Mans back in 1955, only the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Gullwing' known as the last-remaining triumphed symbol of this German's three-pointed star company in the world's motor sports arena. By taking inspiration from the sportscar makers mentioned above, the German company top brasses decided to study in advance what styling, as well as what technology should be adopted by a Mercedes-Benz rear-engined sports car dedicated to road use.
The evolution of the first SLX idea in 1965 began with a 1:5 scale model. Here, the designers Paul Braq (right) and Giorgio Battistella who created the model. (Picture from: Roarington)
By 1962, Mercedes-Benz was seriously handled the notion of building a mid-engined sports car, and pointed Paul Braq, who had designed the Pagoda and Giorgio Battistella, an Italian designer once worked for OSI the Turin-based coachbuilding company to design the car. In terms of style, creating a model that could rival to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL
legendary model was a tough tasks. The distinguishing element of this
model is the mass distribution, with a shorter nose and a longer,
tapered tail to accommodate the engine.
The very smooth line of the SLX with its generous front fenders made possible by moving the engine to the rear. (Picture from: Roarington)
The
car also introduces several innovations, including pop-up headlights
and a bumper which is integrated into the car body wraps all the way
around the vehicle on the sides and rear, coupled with its massive front
grilles were dubbed as the most Mercedes part of the prototype. On the contrary, what it's definitely not a Mercedes is the rear with massive side air intakes and a slightly arrow-shaped tail. Later, the car was called the Mercedes-Benz SLX Concept, and was intended to be featured in a tier
above the SL in Mercedes-Benz's lineup.
The model of the SLX in the wind tunnel with the classic “wool tufts” that confirm the efficiency of the design. (Picture from: Roarington)
It turned out that it took more than four years to turn the design sketches into a 1:1 scale model featured with a sleek bodywork, and shown an extraordinary wind-tunnel test results. After finishing in 1966, they presented to the board. Unfortunately, they had no luck, despite positive tests in the wind tunnel, the board turned down the design, only because there was a change in the technical direction of the company which, in those years, was more concentrated on innovative forms of engines such as the Wankel.
The Mercedes-Benz SLX posed alongside the C111 models that took over between 1969 and 1978. (Picture from: Roarington)
More sadly Mercedes-Benz to opted out of the project entirely, without ever thinking about adapting the car model to those innovative Wankel engine. Instead, they decided to put all-their resources into developing the new C101 followed then C111 projects in the 1969. Since that day the SLX was shelved as a design study, but the rolling chassis still exists within the Mercedes-Benz Museum until today.
Can you imagine how the performance would be if the Mercedes-Benz SLX was fitted with an engine equivalent to an LS V8 coupled with a ZF transaxle at time. Maybe it will be exciting to see this car run fast and cross the finish line of the 24-Hours Le Mans race as a winner back then in the 1960s. Who knows?
Although this visionary project was shelved, but in fact, it paved the way for a series of prototypes that have played a real role in the development of the brand as we will see in subsequent future models as you can see recently on the Mercedes-AMG ONE. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ROARINGTON | SECRET-CLASSICS | TOPSPEED | OBSCURE_CARS_DAILY ]
ONE-OFF As an automotive anthusiast, what car would you buy if you had billions in your account? Is that a Bugatti made supercars, Lamborghini, Pagani or Ferrari? Indeed, the auto brands mentioned were expensive, unique in appearance, and perhaps rare, but many people already have them.
There is only one Sbarro GT1 ever made by Franco Sbarro and his students at the Espera Sbarro School of Design in Grandson, Switzerland back in the 1999. (Picture from: Autoblog)
But if you've seen this one, the premium car brands aforementioned would be eliminated, because this one hypercar combines these three components and is definitely the only one. So apart from having a beautiful body design with sharp curved lines all over its body, the one-off supercar named Sbarro GT1 is classified as a super exclusive vehicle ever made.
The Sbarro GT1 was just a supercar concept which built to tribute for the Mercedes-Benz's victory at the 24-Hours Le Mans racing. (Picture from: Sbarro.phcalvet.fr)
Indeed, in this world there is only one Sbarro GT1 ever made by Franco Sbarro and his students at the Espera Sbarro School of Design in Grandson. Originally it was just a supercar concept which built to tribute for the Mercedes-Benz's victory at the 24-Hours Le Mans racing, and was shown to the public for the first time in June 1999.
The Sbarro GT1's monocoque polyester body is attached on the dual frame concept with three rubber and metal beams, in which the engine is considered a stressed member of the frame. (Picture from: Sbarro.phcalvet.fr)
The most interesting technical aspect of the GT1 is the use of the Sbarro dual frame, which was patented in 1991. In this dual frame concept, the engine is considered a stressed member of the frame. Then the monocoque polyester body is attached to the frame with three rubber and metal beams. This dampens vibrations from the chassis making for a quieter and more comfortable ride without affecting the car's handling.
The entire interior of the Sbarro GT1 is covered in grey and red velvet, including seats, armrests, backrests, parts of the door. (Picture from: Sbarro.phcalvet.fr)
As for the legs, the Sbarro-made concept car uses 18" Anteras wheels at the front and 19" at the rear which are then wrapped respectively by Michelin 245/35 and 365/35 tires. In addition the Sbarro GT1 provided necessary braking system by using a huge 4-pot calipers to grip the vented discs each on its 4 corners.
The Sbarro GT1's seats are integrated into the cabin, which means there's nothing to adjust, vice versa the pedals and steering wheel are adjustable. (Picture from: HotCars)
Uniquely, the one-off concept car also used the unique exhaust system made by Franco himself. Despite this, the Sbarro GT1 weighs around 2,976 lbs (1,350 kg) is made only in metallic gray and is adorned with red brake calipers. Even though this was just a display car, don't ever underestimate its capabilities.
The Sbarro GT1 carries a Mercedes-Benz 7.4 liter (7,400 cc) V8 engine mounted in the middle of the rear which is capable of spewing power up to 450 hp (336 kW) and 451 ft lb (612 Nm) of torque. (Picture from: Sbarro.phcalvet.fr)
Because the concept car carries a Mercedes-Benz 7.4 liter (7,400 cc) V8 engine mounted in the middle of the rear which is capable of spewing power up to 450 hp (336 kW) and 451 ft lb (612 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels directly through a five-speed manual transmission so that it can run up to speeds of 323.4 kph with acceleration from rest to 100 kph in just 4.9 seconds. These performance figures are quite fantastic for a car made of the 1990s, when compared to the latest cars such as the Porsche 911 Turbo which has 402 hp or the Ferrari F50 with 513 hp.
If you were curious about its price, of course it is very expensive, which is expected to reach the seven-digit range for Dollars. As an illustration, back in 2010 this Sbarro GT1 had going to be sold with a price tag of around €1 million or (at the time's rate) the equivalent of Rp.12.4 billion. Apparently the creation of this concept car continues when Sbarro launched its second version in 2002 under the name of the Sbarro GT12 which is powered by a V12 engine. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SBARRO.PHCALVET.FR | SUPERCARS.NET | ASPHALTFANDOM | HOTCARS | AUTOBLOG | SILODROME ]
As we all know that for many years Chrysler displayed several show cars, and in 1970 the American car manufacturer showed a very wedge-shaped car concept, called the Cordoba de Oro.
