Renegade Beauty - There’s something magical about the golden era of American automotive ingenuity. It was a time when ambition outpaced resources, and creativity was the most powerful tool in a builder’s garage. Among all the fascinating stories from that era, one stands out—not for its corporate polish or big-name pedigree, but for the vision of one man and the car that carried his dreams forward: the Kellison Astra X-300 GT.

Born out of post-war optimism and a hunger for personal innovation, the Astra X-300 GT began as the vision of Jim Kellison. A veteran of the Korean War, Kellison returned home not with the desire to join the corporate ranks, but with a bold plan—to create a lightweight, powerful car that enthusiasts could build themselves. His weapon of choice?Fiberglass. A material already gaining popularity thanks to the Chevrolet Corvette, fiberglass allowed for exotic designs without the heavy burden of steel.

Kellison launched his own company in the 1950s and quickly made a name for himself among American kit car builders. His original J-series designs turned heads for their futuristic looks and performance potential. But as the market evolved, so did his creations. The Astra X-300 GT was the natural evolution of his earlier J-4 model—refined, sleeker, and more user-friendly.

What made the Astra X-300 GT truly versatile was its compatibility. Builders could mount the body onto the proprietary Astra chassis, based on Kellison’s own designs from the 1950s, or opt for more accessible options like the 1955–1957 Chevrolet or Corvette chassis. The latter choice was especially popular, allowing for easy integration of the factory-installed V8 engine, transmission, and suspension systems—saving time and ensuring performance from the start.

Each X-300 GT built was a reflection of its maker. Some were masterfully completed, others left unfinished in garages, and many were customized beyond recognition. Records are fuzzy, and exact production numbers remain unknown. What’s certain, though, is that every surviving example is a rare piece of handcrafted automotive art. Over the years, some have even been misidentified as Kellisons when they were technically Astras, further adding to the mystique.

The powertrain options varied, but one known restored example features a potent 355 cubic inch small-block V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. With less than 25,000 miles on the clock, it’s a time capsule wrapped in silver metallic paint and fitted with black bucket seats, racing seatbelts, a custom steering wheel, and vintage toggle switches that feel lifted from a jet cockpit. It’s a reminder that this wasn’t just a car—it was an experience.

What was once considered a niche curiosity has now gained mainstream respect. Cars like the Astra X-300 GT, once ignored or dismissed as garage-built oddities, are now celebrated at prestigious events like the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, sharing the lawn with Italian exotics and pre-war legends. Their value isn’t just in rarity, but in the story they tell—a story of independent spirit, hands-on craftsmanship, and pure automotive passion.
For those who love machines that break the mold and celebrate individuality, the Kellison Astra X-300 GT offers a glimpse into a unique chapter of American car culture. It may not have rolled off a mass-production line, but every curve, every bolt, and every roar of the engine speaks to a time when dreaming big and building it yourself was more than enough to turn heads. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SILODROME | CARBUZZ | CURBSIDECLASSIC | PINTEREST | VINTAGE ARV IN FACEBOOK ]

Silent Thunder - In an era where automotive innovation is accelerating at lightning speed, electric supercars are emerging not just as an alternative but as a bold redefinition of performance and design. These futuristic machines are no longer confined to the laboratories of European and American manufacturers. From the heart of India, a new contender is making waves — a car that dares to defy convention, challenge engineering norms, and command global attention with its cutting-edge design. Meet the Vazirani Ekonk, a striking leap forward from a country not traditionally known for its supercar pedigree.

The Vazirani Ekonk is more than just a follow-up to the brand’s first ambitious creation, the turbine-powered Shul unveiled in 2018. This time, the innovation comes in the form of a pure electric hypercar that aims to rewrite the rules of efficiency, power, and purity in automotive performance. Created by Chunky Vazirani, the mind behind the original Shul, the Ekonk stands as a bold symbol of what the Indian automotive industry is capable of achieving when tradition and technology are blended with visionary ambition.

Unlike the Shul, which impressed the world with its unconventional turbine-based propulsion, the Ekonkditches fossil fuels entirely in favor of a 100% electric drivetrain. But this isn't just another EV with a big battery and fast acceleration. The Ekonk introduces something never seen before: DiCo technology. Inspired by biomimicry — the study of how living beings regulate body temperature — and fused with ancient Indian techniques, DiCo enables direct air-cooling of batteries. This eliminates the need for traditional liquid cooling, a method even giants like Tesla still rely on.
The

light," represents a symbolic new beginning for Vazirani Automotive. (Picture from: TopGear)
What’s the benefit? Everything. DiCo makes the Ekonklighter, faster, and more efficient. By shedding unnecessary weight, the car achieves an astonishingly low total weight of just 738 kilograms. This gives it a remarkable 1:1 power-to-weight ratio — thanks to its 722 horsepower output — putting it in the same rarefied league as the Koenigsegg One:1. It’s a feat that not only challenges traditional engineering logic but also cements the Ekonkas the lightest electric car in the world today.

Speed, of course, is part of the thrill. The Ekonk rockets from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 192 mph. But it's not just brute force and straight-line pace that defines this machine. The aerodynamic design, featuring shrouded rear wheels and ultra-smooth body lines, gives the Ekonk one of the lowest drag coefficients in its class. That sleek silhouette isn’t just for show — it’s one of the key reasons this car performs like a bullet on the track.

However, what truly sets the Ekonk apart is its raw, unfiltered driving experience. Chunky Vazirani insists on a mechanical purity that most modern supercars have lost. No electronic driving aids. No unnecessary filters between the driver, the motors, and the wheels. It’s an electric car that feels alive — visceral, connected, and real. In many ways, it’s as analog as digital driving gets.
The Vazirani Ekonk has already been tested at India’s premier NATRAX facility, signaling that it’s far more than just a prototype or concept. (Picture from: TopGear)
Even its name carries weight. "Ekonk" is drawn from Indian scripture, meaning "the first light." For Vazirani Automotive, it's more than a poetic label — it marks a symbolic new beginning. According to its creator, the Ekonk represents the company’s first true fusion of design and innovation, the first car that feels like it's breathing, pulsing with life.

Though it remains in its development stage, with official technical specs still under wraps, the Ekonk has already undergone testing at India's premier NATRAX facility. All signs suggest this is no mere prototype or vaporware concept. It’s real, it’s being built, and it’s aimed squarely at the global elite of electric performance vehicles. | Osfbp5Uhjsc |
From a market long overlooked in the world of high-performance engineering, the Vazirani Ekonk emerges as a thrilling new chapter. It challenges the notion that innovation is reserved for the established names in the West. With its blend of lightweight design, groundbreaking cooling technology, and pure driving spirit, the Ekonk is more than just India’s second supercar — it's a declaration that the future of speed is open to everyone bold enough to rewrite the rules. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VAZIRANI AUTOMOTIVE | OBSCURESUPERCAR ON X | TOPGEAR | ID.MOTOR1 ]

Sculpted Fury - There’s something magical about the turn of the millennium in the automotive world. It was a time when supercar manufacturers weren’t afraid to push boundaries, blending old-school mechanical rawness with emerging technologies. Amidst all the giants and household names, a lesser-known marque emerged with a car so unique, so dramatically engineered, that it forced the world to stop and stare. That car was the Pagani Zonda C12 S.
A striking and rare sight, the Zonda C12 S is a wild carbon-bodied supercar with a soul defined by its twin rear wings. (Picture from: MostExclusiveCars in X)
Born from the vision of Horacio Pagani, an Argentine engineer with deep Italian roots and an obsession for perfection, the Zonda wasn’t just another new face on the supercar scene—it was a direct challenge to the dominance of brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini. Pagani had spent years mastering his craft at Lamborghini, becoming an expert in composites and aerodynamics, before taking the bold step of launching his own automotive company, Pagani Automobili. And when the original Zonda C12 debuted in 1999, it made waves. But Pagani didn’t stop there.
This is the Zonda C12, the very first creation from Pagani Automobili, unveiled to the world at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. (Picture from: MonkeyMotor)
Just a year after the debut, the Zonda evolved. In 2000, Pagani unveiled the Zonda C12 S—an upgraded, faster, more potent version of the original. At the heart of this monster was a reworked engine from AMG, the high-performance arm of Mercedes-Benz. Displacing a massive 7.0 liters, this naturally aspirated V12 wasn’t just about size—it was about soul. It produced a thunderous 550 horsepower and a monstrous 553 lb-ft of torque, delivering not just incredible acceleration but a soundtrack that could make any car enthusiast weak at the knees.

Unlike some exotic cars that seem to scream performance but fall short when tested, the Zonda C12 S delivered on every level. Its acceleration was brutal yet composed, reaching 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Top speed?An eye-watering 211 mph. But speed was just one part of the story. The handling, balance, and responsiveness of the Zondaset it apart from anything else on the road. Much of this was thanks to its advanced carbon-fiber chassis and precise suspension setup, which combined light weight with incredible stiffness and control.

The bodywork wasn’t just functional—it was sculpted with artistic flair. The updated aerodynamics included refined spoilers and intakes that improved downforce and airflow while maintaining the car’s unmistakable look. The entire car, crafted almost entirely from carbon fiber, was a showcase of craftsmanship and cutting-edge materials. From its leather-strapped front and rear clamshells to the twin rear winglets replacing the original spoiler, every inch of the Zonda felt purposeful and passionate.

Step inside, and you were greeted with a cabin that was as much art as it was engineering. Brushed aluminum trim, analog gauges, and bespoke switches created an environment that felt raw yet luxurious. Leather, alcantara, and polished metal were used thoughtfully, and even the pedals were crafted with a sculptor’s eye. Small touches like custom leather luggage and exposed carbon-fiber storage bins showed just how much attention Pagani paid to every detail.
The Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2002 as a further refined evolution, showcasing more power and subtle design upgrades. (Picture from: MonkeyMotor)
And then there’s the driving experience. The six-speed manual gearbox was designed in-house, connected to a twin-plate clutch and a self-locking differential. Shifts were mechanical, precise, and deeply satisfying. With no ABS to intervene, the driver was truly in command. Brembo brakes provided immense stopping power, and adjustable ride height allowed the Zonda to adapt to different conditions—track or street.
The Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 also marked a milestone in the model’s evolution by introducing a stunning Roadster body style for the first time. (Picture from: MonkeyMotor)
Only 15 units of the Zonda C12 S were ever produced before Pagani introduced the further enhanced Zonda S 7.3 at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2002. The Zonda S 7.3 would also mark the arrival of a Roadster body style. Making it one of the rarest and most desirable models in Pagani’s history. It wasn’t just a car; it was a statement. It said that a newcomer with a vision, the right experience, and relentless attention to detail could stand toe-to-toe with the most iconic names in the business. | 7o_cP7qH72s |
Today, more than two decades later, the Zonda C12 S remains a symbol of what happens when engineering genius meets artistic obsession. It’s a reminder that passion can rival power, that craftsmanship still matters, and that even in a world dominated by technology, there’s nothing quite like a pure, mechanical, soul-stirring supercar built by a man with a dream. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOMOBILO.INFO | SUPERCARS.NET | SUPERCARNOSTALGIA | LEMOHC | MOSTEXCLUSIVECARS IN X | BOOSTED BORIS IN FACEBOOK | MONKEYMOTOR ]

Wonderfully Weird - In the ever-evolving world of automotive enthusiasm, passion often takes the wheel over practicality. From high-dollar restorations to wild custom builds, the car community has never been short on surprises. But while the spotlight often shines on sleek supercars and vintage icons, every once in a while, a creation emerges that stops the internet in its tracks—not because of its beauty or performance, but because it’s just too bizarre to ignore.

That’s exactly the case with the custom 2006 Hammond Roadster, a vehicle that recently surfaced on Bring a Trailer and immediately raised eyebrows across the automotive world. It’s not the sort of car that wins beauty contests or breaks track records. No, this roadster is something else entirely—a spectacle of creativity, eccentricity, and unapologetic boldness. And for those who’ve grown tired of cookie-cutter designs and showroom polish, it's oddly refreshing.

This one-of-a-kind machine began life in the most unconventional way: as a damaged Chrysler 300M. Rather than heading to the scrapyard, the donor car was transformed into something entirely different, with the builder crafting a custom fiberglass body atop a unique chassis. Its proportions are wild, its lines unconventional, and its presence unforgettable. Mounted mid-ship is Chrysler’s 3.5-liter V6 engine, originally with only 543 miles on it before the project started. That engine now feeds its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive—yes, including the Chrysler Autostick system for those looking to wring out just a bit more control.

While performance isn’t this car’s headline act, there’s still some engineering thought baked into its DNA. It rolls on coilover suspension, and thanks to parts carried over from the 300M, features traction control and ABS. Massive side intakes feed the engine with air, and a NACA duct on the hood adds a dash of sporty flair. The convertible top design appears inspired by classic speedster styling, even if the overall result is more Frankenstein than Ferrari.

Step inside, and the oddball charm continues. The cabin is tight, fitted with fixed-back bucket seats and red leather accents that stretch across the seats and doors. Gray carpeting throughout the floor, console, and dashboard clashes somewhat with the bright tones but echoes the early-2000s Chrysler aesthetic. A bulbous wood-rimmed steering wheel—another carryover from its donor—sits front and center, completing the retro-meets-homemade vibe. There’s even a set of Corbeau racing harnesses, suggesting someone, somewhere, thought about taking this creation a little more seriously.

Despite—or maybe because of—its offbeat nature, the Hammond Roadster isn’t a stranger to the auction block. It previously sold on Bring a Trailer for a surprising $17,750, and now it’s back again, drawing attention with a current bid of $5,000 and several days left on the clock. For some, it’s a punchline. For others, it’s a piece of rolling art. But love it or hate it, you can’t deny that it’s hard to look away. | 3fjLxPG9AnU |
In a landscape dominated by predictability and polish, the Hammond Roadster stands out simply by daring to be different. It might not be everyone's dream car—but it might just be someone’s perfect expression of unfiltered automotive creativity. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BRINGATRAILER | HOTCARS | FR.MOTOR1 ]

Auric Elegance- When it comes to turning heads on the street, few vehicles can compete with the charm and elegance of a classic Vespa. But imagine that timeless design taken to a whole new level of luxury — not with fancy tech or futuristic upgrades, but by wrapping the entire scooter in 23-carat gold. That’s exactly what happened with the Vespa Polini 23-Carat Gold, a shimmering icon that blends Italian craftsmanship with bold automotive artistry.
This glittering masterpiece is based on the 1964 Vespa Primavera 125, a model already admired for its sleek curves and vintage soul. Yet what made this one truly unforgettable was its jaw-dropping appearance at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan back in 2014. Polini, a well-known Italian tuning and modification house, was the creative mind behind the golden transformation, and their work turned the scooter into something closer to a museum exhibit than a regular ride.

The entire body of the Vespa — from the front fender and engine cover to the handlebars and rear panels — is delicately coated in genuine 23-carat gold. To achieve that opulent finish, no fewer than 500 thin sheets of gold were applied with meticulous care. It wasn’t a simple task. Polini admitted that the process was extremely delicate, as each individual gold sheet could easily tear. Precision and patience were essential throughout the project.

But Polini didn’t stop at just covering the scooter in gold. They reimagined other parts of the Vespa to match its dazzling new identity. The seat, for instance, was redesigned with black material textured like orange peel — a subtle but stylish contrast to the golden glow. The wheels received a fresh chrome finish, offering a clean and modern touch without overshadowing the main attraction.

Underneath all that shine, Polini also upgraded the engine’s performance. The Golden Vespa is equipped with a racing clutch supported by two springs, and a 27-69 primary gear setup. There’s also a custom crankshaft, a 24 mm Polini carburetor, and a dedicated CDI ignition system. They even added 12-volt headlights and built a custom exhaust to complete the transformation, ensuring the scooter performs just as boldly as it looks.
Even after a decade since it first dazzled the crowd in Milan, the Vespa Polini 23-Carat Gold still captures the imagination of collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. It’s not just a scooter — it’s a symbol of passion, precision, and unapologetic flair. Wrapped in gold but powered by craftsmanship, this Vespa proves that even the most classic rides can shine brighter when touched by true creativity.
