Also mentioned the hypercar is very exclusively, so the manufacturer had also prepared a special garage for each of these new hypercars at their HQ in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. Understandably, the specification of this wild bull is illegal if it is driven on public roads so that every car owner is not allowed to bring those wild bulls back home.
But, it does not mean the hypercar is just stored in that special garage. The premium Italian car manufacturer has also set up a personal security system plus several surveillance cameras that can be accessed 24 hours, so car owners can monitor it any time.

As quoted from Rideapart.com, the blue-silver painted vehicle is known as the Modulo Car M89, which is described as a unique-shaped three-wheeler vehicle is built in 1997 by the German auto manufacturer and uses a powertrain taken from the BMW K75 (an old motorcycle produced by the company between 1985 and 1995). Unfortunately, there isn't much detailed information about this vehicle.

You might still remember about the GM Firebird Concept Car that we discussed a while ago. These concept cars were made by the American automotive manufacturer up to 4 series of cars, although the official Firebird Concept was made up to 3 series.
1969 Buick Century Cruiser aka GM XP-790 concept is a sophisticated car for a truly sophisticated journey in the future. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3157OGa)
Well, the car that was originally intended as Firebird IV which was given an internal code XP-790 even had a chance to debut in 1964 the New York World's Fair as a non-functional car. The concept car was later repackaged by US automotive giants as Buick Century Cruiser and appeared on several shows in 1969.

This concept car is made to accommodate your dreams when someday in the future, you will drive on sophisticated superhighway roads with vehicles that have automatic navigation features, to travel across the country quickly but safely and comfortably, it drives automatically without having bothered driving and all only relying on your fingertips.

The concept car appeared with a futuristic design look according to the era of jet planes and space exploration that's becoming a trend of the 60s. This experimental vehicle offers various advanced features at the time such as hands-free driving (automatic steering system), semi-reclining, swiveling contoured seats, a pull-out refrigerator, a television, and a pull-out table inside its cabin.

As for handling matters, when Century Cruiser is driven into the superhighway road, the driver only needs to insert a card in the slot at the entrance, where the programs on Century Cruiser will take over and drive the car to the correct destination, based on information sent from the center controller. The trip can also be monitored through a navigation map, which is projected on the screen like a radar embedded in the front console.
In addition to the automatic steering system, the Century Cruiser prototype can also be operated manually via a pair of joysticks positioned on the armrests for steering and speed regulation. Canopy-shaped entrances can slide forward and upward to allow passengers in and out, and this can be operated at the touch of a button.
In our opinion, the 1969 Buick Century Cruiser concept was some kinda sophisticated car for a truly sophisticated journey that might not have been realized until now. What do you think? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSTYLING.RU | ]

All automotive enthusiasts in the world have known the beauty of Italian cars. There are countless beautiful car models born from the skilled hands of the country's automotive designers and manufacturers. As from the beginning of the development of the world's automotive industry until now, it can be seen the contribution of the Italian companies were very dominant in bringing up the world's automotive trend.
The upcoming Iso Rivolta GTZ designed is directly inspired by the Iso Grifo A3/C and designed by Zagato. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3fpfcBH)
And one of them is Iso, an Italian automotive manufacturer founded in Genoa by Renzo Rivolta in 1939 before moved to Bresso in 1942. Initially, this Italian company mainly built motorcycles and scooters, then in the 1950s, they decided to build a microcar.Today everyone knows about the BMW Isetta. However, at first, Iso produced the car itself, before they released the license. In the 60s and 70s, they also built four 'real' cars, such as Rivolta, Grifo, Fidia, and Lele. However, in 1974, there was one other thing behind it.
1964 Iso Grifo A3/C was the racing version of the Iso Grifo. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2CWTp7b)
If all goes well, a car called Iso will reappear 46 years later. The Italians show the first images of such a beautiful car called the Iso Rivolta GTZ. And if we look at the 'Z' letter of the car's name that stands for Zagato. So all of us agreed if the design is in good hands. Due to Zagato is one of the Italian renowned automotive designer and coachbuilder companies till today. In 2017, Zagato already presented a digital concept based on the classic Iso Rivolta.
The Iso Rivolta GTZ design sketchalso promises a lot of good design to emerge from it, like an old-fashioned Italian beauty. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3ggWIEz)
Yes, we have seen what the car looks like. The Italian coachbuilder has shared the first sketch of Iso Rivolta GTZ. The sketch also promises a lot of good design to emerge from it, like an old-fashioned Italian beauty, because the design is directly inspired by the Iso Grifo A3/C.
If the Italian company wants to remain historically responsible, the upcoming IsoRivolta GTZ must choose to use the American V8 engine. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3fpfcBH)
As we all know that the A3/C was the racing version of the Iso Grifo. This car was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Then the person who is trusted to handle the car's technical issues was Giotto Bizzarrini, the man behind the famous Ferrari 250 GTO. Later due to Bizzarrini disagreed with Renzo Rivolta, he quit and built the car under his own brand name.
Zagato will deliver the first IsoRivolta GTZ in October 2020 and built it for more than 4,500 Iso Rivolta Club Members and Owners worldwide. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3fpfcBH)
This special car now has a successor.But until now there are no technical details, but if the Italian company wants to remain historically responsible, they must choose the American V8 engine.Judging by Zagato's portfolios this does indeed seem to be happening. Let's see the classic Iso Grifo A3 of the 1960s and hear its roars.
And all we can do now is wait until October because that's a bit of a time clue from them about when this gorgeous car will be introduced. Now take a seat, relax, and be patient, because it promises to be another fine example of Italian designs. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ZAGATO | CHALLENGES.FR | TECHZLE]

Just like some of the other mid-engined Corvette prototypes previously built by the American manufacturer for decades that did not reach the production line, the Corvette GS IIB was also unable to convince General Motors (GM) executives that it was a good idea to make a mid-ship sports car.

Recently, at the beginning of March 2020, the Corvette GS IIB which was included in the very rare mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette prototype attended at the 2020 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance to be on display with other iconic models. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CONCEPTCARZ.COM | PETROLEUM MUSEUM | HEMMINGS.COM | CAR GUY CHRONICLES] Note: This blog can be accessed via your smart phone
Mercedes-Benz is a well-known German automotive manufacturer that has been widely known by the public with its elegant and agile car designs on the streets, especially high-end variants such as Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren up to AMG GT, which always amazes its users.
There are many models that have been produced, one of which can be categorized in the legendary car, called Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR.

The racing version of the CLK GTR took both the drivers' and teams' championships in '97 and '98, winning 17 of the 22 races it entered. After that, those German automotive giants produced the road-legal versions and able to use it on the streets for daily activities. Both the racing and road-legal version supercars powered by a V12 naturally-aspirated engine with a capacity of 6.9 liters that is placed in the middle and is believed to be able to send the power of 604 hp and torque of 572 lb-ft.
Power was sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential manual transmission system. It looked mean, with a hooped rear wing and low-slung bodywork fitted with various vents and winglets. The front was also adorned with a Mercedes-Benz hood ornament. So it is not surprising that this car became the fastest in its time.
Mercedes-Benz produces this mid-engined car in a limited number of 25 units. Of the 25 CLK GTRs built, 20 were coupes and five were roadsters. The car was sold at the price of $1.5 million or around Rp.19 billion at the time.
Even so, there are no negative complaints from customers and some have bought them at this price. Reportedly the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR will be priced at the doubled price today and can last for next few years. As quoted of Autoblog in July 2018, there's a 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR with chassis No. 9 going up for auction on August at the RM Sotheby's auction in Monterey.
The car could sell with an estimated sale price between $4.25 million and $5.25 million. If this car able to sell well at the auction, then those price numbers will put these car into one of the most expensive classic cars in the world.
Here's she is my die-cast of Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR in scale 1:64 made by Maisto. (The picture was taken by my android phone)
Wow, of course, I couldn't afford to buy it, because it was too expensive. But it didn't dampen me from owning this car. Then, I go to the supermarket near ma home and bought the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR in there. Although only in a scale of 1:64 but at least I had one. Only kidding, don't take it too seriously. :) *** [EKA[14082018] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS | AUTOBLOG]
