Triumph Conrero Le Mans: The Lost Symphony of Speed

LOST GEMS - The world of motorsports is filled with stories of innovation, ambition, and sometimes unfulfilled potential. One such story revolves around the Triumph Conrero Le Mans, a car that combined the craftsmanship of two legendary figures: Giovanni Michelotti, an Italian designer renowned for his sleek automotive designs, and Virgilio Conrero, a master of tuning engines. These two names alone evoke images of speed, performance, and beauty. Yet, despite the brilliance of its creators, the Triumph Conrero Le Mans never got its chance to shine on the racetrack, and instead, became a symbol of what could have been in motorsport history.

Virgilio Conrero, born in Turin at the tail end of World War I, was no stranger to mechanics and engineering. During World War II, he served as a mechanic in the Regia Aeronautica, Italy’s air force, gaining valuable experience that would later shape his career. After the war, Conrero's love for automobiles took him on a different path, and in 1951, he founded Autotecnica Conrero. This company would go on to become a key player in tuning Alfa Romeos and Lancias, creating machines that were not only fast but also aesthetically pleasing. Despite his success, Conrero's work was often overshadowed by the more well-known Abarth, but his Conrero-Alfas earned a devoted following and remain prized possessions for car collectors today.

The Triumph Conrero Le Mans project began in the early 1960s, with Standard-Triumph seeking Conrero's expertise to develop a car for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The goal was to build a four-car team for the 1961 race, but in a twist of fate, only one car was completed, and that too, not in time for the race. The car was finished in 1962, with its tubular spaceframe and aerodynamic body designed by Michelotti. It also featured the powerful Sabrina engine, a unit capable of producing a reported 165 bhp. This engine, combined with the lightweight chassis, allowed the car to reach nearly 150 mph on England’s M1 motorway, a remarkable feat for its time.

Despite the car’s impressive capabilities, it never got the chance to prove itself on the world stage. The Leyland takeover of Triumph in the early 1960s led to the project being shelved, ending what could have been a triumphant moment for the British carmaker at Le Mans. The Triumph Conrero Le Mans was left in limbo, a brilliant creation that was never given the opportunity to race. The wind tunnel tests conducted at the Polytechnic of Turin showed promise, but Triumph's decision to withdraw from competitions dashed the hopes of seeing the car’s potential realized on the track.

The Triumph Conrero Le Mans, however, did not disappear into obscurity. The car still exists today, a living relic of a bygone era in British motorsport. While it never got to compete at Le Mans, it stands as a testament to the creativity and ambition of its creators. Michelotti's design and Conrero's tuning came together to form a car that could have been a serious contender. In many ways, the car's existence is a reminder of how many great ideas and innovations in motorsports were cut short by external forces beyond the control of their creators.

For fans of British sports cars, the Triumph Conrero Le Mans represents a tantalizing 'what if.' What if Triumph had gone ahead with the project? What if it had competed at Le Mans? Would it have claimed victory? These questions may never be answered, but the legacy of the car lives on, a chapter in the long and storied history of motorsports, where dreams are sometimes left unrealized, but never forgotten. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARROZZIERI-ITALIANI | CARSTYLING.RU | CLASSICCARS | STORY-CARS | MOSSMOTORING | FORUMAUTOSPORT | WIKIPEDIA ]

Spohn DV-13 Convertible: A Bizarre Beauty Born from Bold Imagination

Glorious Oddity - It’s not every day you stumble upon a car that looks like it was imagined in a dream—equal parts vintage science fiction and postwar fantasy. In the golden era of design experimentation, when chrome was king and fins stretched like the wings of jet planes, some cars broke molds so dramatically, they carved out a legacy of their own. One such example is the 1957 Spohn DV-13 Convertible—an eccentric, unforgettable creation that continues to raise eyebrows and spark conversations wherever it goes.

The Spohn DV-13 Convertible, with its strikingly unique design, is believed to have been commissioned by American GIs stationed in postwar Germany and built by the renowned coachbuilder Hermann Spohn Karosseriebau in Ravensburg. (Picture from: Story-Cars)

Built in Ravensburg, Germany, by the renowned coachbuilder Hermann Spohn Karosseriebau, this car emerged from a company once trusted to shape the bodies of legendary names like Maybach, Mercedes-Benz, and Bugatti. After WWII, Spohn shifted gears—literally and creatively. American GIs stationed in postwar Germany began commissioning custom cars that reflected their bold, stateside tastes. The result? Machines like the DV-13, where pre-war engineering meets outrageous imagination.

At its core, the DV-13 is a Frankenstein of eras. Underneath its flamboyant skin lies a 1939 Ford chassis, complete with pre-war mechanicals—front and rear live axles, transverse leaf springs, and drum brakes. Power comes from a robust 5.4-liter Cadillac V8 engine paired with a Ford 3-speed manual transmission. It’s a combination that tells you this car wasn’t just about looks—it was built to run.

But let’s talk about those looks. With its steel body shaped into curves and contours that seem to defy logic, the DV-13 is anything but shy. The front end features double-stacked headlights and a grille that feels more sci-fi than showroom. The rear is topped with towering fins that became something of a Spohn signature by the late 1950s. Some say it looks like two cars squashed into one, others claim it made professional designers question their careers—but no one ever calls it boring.

The 1957 Spohn DV-13 Convertible features a left-hand-drive cabin with black upholstery, color-matched carpeting, roll-up windows, a lockable glovebox, a dash-mounted cigar lighter and ashtray, and a bright dashboard housing a 140-mph speedometer and worn auxiliary gauges. (Picture from: Silodrome)

Despite its polarizing appearance, the DV-13 has grown into a cult classic. In 2012, it was purchased by Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars along with his friend Ralph Marano, who found it in the Miami-based Dezer Collection. The car later appeared on the show, then went on to win the Camille Jenatzy Award for “Most Audacious Exterior” at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in 2013. It didn’t stop there—it continued its victory lap at events like the 2014 Boca Raton Concours and even made a stop at the AACA Library.

And if you thought the DV-13 was Spohn’s only wild creation, there’s more. Another standout from the same workshop is the 1950 Spohn-bodied Veritas, featuring dramatic tailfins and faux jet intakes—a bold example of how far postwar styling could go when imagination was in charge. Curious to see just how far Karosseriebau Hermann Spohn pushed the envelope? You can take a look right here. | Mw8P4wRprz0 |

In the end, cars like the Spohn DV-13 Convertible are a reminder that sometimes the best designs don’t aim to please everyone—they aim to be remembered. This is one of those cars you don’t just see. You experience it. And once you do, you’ll never forget it. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BRINGATRAILER | SILODROME | STORY-CARS ]

Nissan IF: The Futuristic Design Lost to Time

Forgotten ONES - If the moon could speak, it would have countless stories of innovative automotive creations. Some of these vehicles quietly disappear, while others briefly shine before vanishing from public view. Among these, the 1989 Nissan 300XM (NTC IF) Concept, commonly known as the Nissan IF, is one of the lesser-known gems. It may not be widely recognized to public, but it represents a fascinating chapter in automotive history ahead of its time.

Under the hood, or more accurately, behind the seats, the Nissan IF housed a mid-mounted 930cc four-cylinder engine borrowed from the Nissan Micra. This small yet efficient powerplant was intended to deliver a nimble driving experience, perfectly aligned with the car's emphasis on handling. Although the Nissan IF never reached mass production, it remains a testament to the creativity and vision of Nissan’s design and engineering teams. Since there isn’t a video specifically about this car, here’s a video featuring Nissan concept cars in Shinjuku, Japan.

Its sleek and sporty appearance, combined with its innovative engineering, continues to captivate those lucky enough to learn about it. Despite its limited exposure, the Nissan IF serves as a reminder of what could have been – a remarkable small coupe that might have made a significant impact on the automotive world. While the car may have stayed in the shadows, its legacy endures among enthusiasts who appreciate the beauty of forgotten concept cars. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SWDESIGN-TOKYO | GTPLANET FORUM | CARSTYLING.RU | ALLCARINDEX | 1989 NISSAN IF IN FACEBOOK ]

BMS Nehme-sis: A Gold-Plated Yamaha Like No Other

Golden Masterpiece - In the ever-evolving world of custom motorcycles, creativity often walks hand-in-hand with tradition. For decades, Harley-Davidson has dominated the chopper scene, setting the tone for what a custom bike should look and feel like. But every now and then, something radically different roars into view — something that redefines expectations and breaks the mold. That something is the BMS Nehme-sis.

Rather than following the usual American V-twin template, the Nehme-sis begins its life as a Yamaha Road Star, a bold departure that immediately sets it apart. In the U.S., this makes it a "metric" chopper — a rare breed in a space so heavily influenced by American brands. But make no mistake, this bike is anything but ordinary. Built in 2006, the Nehme-sis was the brainchild of Sam Nehme, the man behind Florida’s Broward Motorsports and its custom wing, BMS Choppers. Sam didn’t just build a bike — he created a rolling piece of mechanical art.

From the moment it debuted, the Nehme-sis turned heads. It became the first metric chopper ever to win the coveted Rats Hole Custom Bike Show at Biketoberfest, a competition with over three decades of history. And this wasn’t just a one-off achievement. Its impact resonated worldwide, especially after its stunning appearance at the CRC Speedshow in Auckland, New Zealand in 2013, where local enthusiasts were left speechless by its beauty and engineering.

The visual appeal of Nehme-sis is undeniable. It's the world’s first motorcycle to be entirely plated in 24-karat gold. Measuring an impressive 3.5 meters in length, the chopper offers a singular red velvet-covered seat, sculpted to provide comfort without compromising on elegance. Only a few traces of the original Yamaha remain — the 1,700cc engine, engine mounts, and part of the frame neck that retains the VIN. Everything else was painstakingly handcrafted from scratch.

And when we say handcrafted, we mean it. Labor costs alone for building Nehme-sis hit a staggering $250,000 — not including the gold plating, custom parts, or paint. The engineering behind its radical form is just as impressive as its golden surface. Take the one-sided front “fork,” for instance. Milled from a solid billet of aluminum and extending over a meter, it's a fully functional piece of precision machinery. Pair that with an air-ride suspension system that allows the entire bike to lift by 25 centimeters or lower flat onto the ground, and you’ve got a ride that doesn’t even need a kickstand.

The rear of the bike is no less spectacular. A massive 360mm tire, sourced from Vee Rubber, is hugged by a seamlessly integrated LED lighting system in the fender’s edge. A single-sided swingarm continues the minimalist, futuristic feel, while also housing its part of the air suspension. What’s equally clever is the electronic grip shifter — instead of a traditional gear lever, the rider shifts gears by rotating the left handgrip, which can also toggle the suspension system. Combined with an automatic clutch, it makes for an ultra-clean design free of unnecessary cables and levers.

But what truly sets the Nehme-sis apart isn’t just its looks or tech — it’s the soul that went into building it. Sam Nehme and his team didn’t just aim for innovation; they pushed for something timeless. A bike like this doesn’t come around often. It’s a fusion of luxury, performance, and imagination, elevated into something that feels more like sculpture than machine.

Nearly two decades after its creation, the Nehme-sis still stands as a benchmark for what’s possible when boundaries are ignored and vision leads the way. Whether it’s seen gliding across the tarmac or sitting still under show lights, this golden beast continues to mesmerize and inspire — a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece in the world of custom choppers.

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and so does the cops...... *** [EKA [02092013] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BMS CHOPPERS | ULTIMATEMOTORCYCLING | MOTORCYCLESPECS.CO.ZA | SPORTKU.COM]

Donatini MB 8: Argentina’s Forgotten 8-Wheeled Engineering Marvel

Monocoque Mastery - When you think of groundbreaking cars, it's easy to imagine the glitz of high-end showrooms, futuristic concept sketches from major automakers, or the roar of engines on a Formula 1 track. But sometimes, the most fascinating vehicles are born not in billion-dollar facilities but in backyards, away from the spotlight. That’s exactly the case with the Donatini MB 8—a one-of-a-kind prototype that redefines what passion and ingenuity can create. More than just a car, it's the physical embodiment of a dream that refused to fade.

The Donatini MB 8 made its final public appearance at Autoclassic 2024, held in the picturesque gardens of the San Isidro racecourse, where it stood as a striking reminder of Argentina’s boldest engineering vision. (Picture from: AutoMundo)

The Donatini MB 8 wasn’t just another engineering project; it was a personal mission. Designed and built by Raúl Donatini, a self-taught inventor from Argentina, the MB 8 is a sports car that challenges conventional design from the ground up. It all started with a childhood fascination for suspension systems and years of tinkering with motorcycles and race cars. When life forced Donatini away from his previous careers due to health issues, he turned to a secluded beach town and began crafting something extraordinary using little more than an electric welder, sheer determination, and a vivid imagination.

The Donatini MB 8 is a remarkable 8-wheeled road beast, engineered to soar down the tarmac at nearly 300 km/h while maintaining exceptional stability—powered by a 3.5-liter Mercedes-Benz M116 V8 engine delivering 200 hp through a 4-speed manual transmission, all anchored by its radically unconventional suspension system. (Picture from: AutoMundo)

What makes the Donatini MB 8 so unique isn’t just its story—it’s the engineering that underpins it. This car was designed to fly down roads at nearly 300 km/h while staying perfectly stable, all thanks to a radically different suspension system. The front features a rocker arm setup that keeps the car level by distributing load between the wheels in a way that minimizes body roll, mimicking the smooth glide of a speedboat slicing through water. The rear axle, too, has a clever design: a single spring working with two shock absorbers to balance the load across four tires. And yes, the car has eight wheels—split across three axles—for enhanced grip and stability.

The Donatini MB 8 is not only unique for the visionary engineering that underpins it, but also for details like its unusual dual-hinged cockpit access system—just one of many inventive solutions that set this hand-built prototype apart. (Picture from: AutoMundo)

The body of the MB 8 follows the same philosophy: form follows function, with aerodynamic lines that aren’t just for show. A special ground-effect design helps keep the car planted, with air intakes and exhaust shaping the airflow in precise, performance-enhancing ways. Every panel, from the wheel covers (as you can see at the early model) to the trunk lid, bolts onto a lightweight monocoque chassis made from steel tubing and sheet metal—optionally enhanced with aluminum.

The Donatini MB 8 embodies a form-follows-function philosophy, with aerodynamic lines, ground-effect design, and precisely shaped intakes and exhausts that enhance performance and keep it firmly planted at speed. (Picture from: AutoMundo)

Under the sleek, low-slung body sits a powerful heart: a 3.5-liter Mercedes-Benz M116 V8 engine delivering 200 horsepower through a four-speed manual transmission. Placed over the rear axle, this setup achieves a perfectly balanced weight distribution—rare in even the most modern supercars. Disc brakes on all six wheels bring this powerhouse to a confident stop, completing a setup that’s as practical as it is ambitious.

The Donatini MB8 made its debut at the 2003 El Garage exhibition in Costa Salguero, captivating both engineers and automotive enthusiasts. (Picture from: DonatiniMB8)

Though it took four years of meticulous work—two spent on the road, one on testing, and one on the bodywork—the MB 8 eventually roared to life. Donatini didn’t have a factory or a team of engineers. He had a backyard, some tools, and the unwavering support of his wife, Victoria Greci. With no neighbors in sight, the couple lifted and fitted heavy components together, crafting what would eventually become one of Argentina’s most ambitious automotive projects.

The MB 8 debuted in 2003 at El Garage exhibition in Costa Salguero, drawing the attention of engineers and enthusiasts alike. Its design even made it to Italy, and according to Donatini, elements of its unique suspension concept found echoes in Formula 1 cars shortly after. While its legacy may not be known globally, those who encounter it can’t help but marvel at how one man’s vision quietly influenced the very cutting edge of motorsport engineering. | geEKCniaiTg |

Today, the Donatini MB 8 stands not merely as a prototype, but as a lasting symbol that innovation doesn’t belong solely to high-end labs or massive corporations—sometimes, all it takes is a vision, a welder, and relentless determination to create something truly original; and while it’s not the only multi-wheeled machine of its kind—Indonesia introduced a six-wheeled custom car called Hati Nurani - Walang Kadung by Kupu-Kupu Malam Auto Custom in 2015—the MB 8 remains a rare, handcrafted marvel that reminds us ingenuity still thrives outside the mainstream. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DONATINIMB8 | AUTOHISTORIA | AUTOMUNDO | AR.MOTOR1 | SIXMANIA.FR | ULTIMATECARPAGE | CLASSIC AND RECREATION SPORTSCARS ON FACEBOOK | WEIRDWHEELS ON REDDIT ]
