Uncommon Grandeur - Ah, the French. Masters of cuisine, couture, and occasionally, cars that seem to belong more in an art gallery than a garage. Few vehicles capture that peculiar magic quite like the Citroën SM — a machine so bold, so unapologetically different, it could only have come from France. When it debuted in the early 1970s, it wasn’t just a car; it was a manifesto on wheels.

Marrying futuristic styling, a spaceship-like interior, and engineering quirks like the DIRAVI self-centering steering system, it looked and drove like nothing else on the road. And of course, let’s not forget the Maserati V6 under its sleek hood — a powerplant that made sure the SM didn’t just whisper sophistication, but roared it in Italian.

Now imagine this already fascinating machine without a roof — the wind swirling through its futuristic lines, the sky reflected in its metallic paint, and that exotic V6 singing a little louder. That dream wasn’t just hypothetical. In 1971, the renowned coachbuilder Henri Chapron made it real. At the Paris Motor Show, he unveiled a rare convertible version of the SM he called'Mon Dieu' — or more formally, ‘MyLord.’ The name alone hinted at grandeur, and the execution did not disappoint.

Chapron was no stranger to dressing up Citroëns, but what he did with the SM was something else entirely. He transformed the coupe into an elegant four-seater cabriolet, reinforcing the body for strength, reshaping the rear with a proper boot, and crafting a roof system to shelter the cabin. It was more than a conversion — it was a reimagination of luxury the French way, with subtle touches of Italian flair beating beneath.

But, like many beautiful things, the Mon Dieu came with a price. A steep one. At Fr. ₣130,000, it cost nearly twice as much as the regular SM and edged dangerously close to the price of a Ferrari Daytona. Unsurprisingly, Citroën passed on mass production, and only six of these Chapron cabriolets were ever believed to have been made. One is rumored to have been lost to a fire, making the surviving examples some of the rarest Citroëns in existence. Artcurial, the prestigious French auction house, even calls them "impossible" to find — and they don’t use that word lightly. | hlV5fXzPjx8 |
Among those few, one stands apart: a pristine one-owner car first bought at the 1975 Paris Motor Show by a Citroën dealer from Colmar. Painted in a dazzling shade of Byzantine Gold, it spent years gracefully transporting its owners to their holiday home on the French Riviera. Lovingly maintained and preserved with its original documentation — including technical drawings and personal letters between Chapron and the owner — this car became a time capsule of 1970s French elegance. It was eventually auctioned by Artcurial, offering not just a collector's item but an emotional connection to a golden era of automotive artistry.
The enduring allure of the Citroën SM convertible inspired one passionate owner in the 1990s to commission Carrozzeria Ferrero in Italy to create his own vision of the open-top SM—dubbed the “MyLord Recreation”—a unique two-seater reinterpretation distinct from the original Chapron version. (Picture from: ClassicDriver)
And yet, the allure of a Citroën SM convertible is so strong that even decades later, it continues to inspire. in the late 1990s, one determined SM owner simply couldn’t resist the idea of open-top motoring. So, he took his car to Carrozzeria Ferrero in Italy — yes, Italy again — to bring his vision of a convertible SM to life—dubbed the “MyLord Recreation”.

The project took far longer than expected, stretching into the 2020s, but the result was worth the wait. Completed in 2021, the MyLord Recreation came equipped with a power-folding roof and plush Poltrona Frau leather seats, blending French eccentricity with Italian craftsmanship once more. Though not an original Chapron, it pays heartfelt tribute to the spirit of 'Mon Dieu' — bold, rare, and utterly irresistible.

In the end, the Citroën SM 'Mon Dieu' represents more than a rare collectible. It’s a glimpse into what happens when innovation meets ambition, when artistry dares to challenge convention. Whether you're lucky enough to find an original or simply admire it from afar, one thing is certain: this is not just a car. It’s a beautifully strange dream made real — and just maybe, the last truly great expression of French automotive luxury. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ARTCURIAL | CLASSICDRIVER | HAGERTYCOUK | CARTHATNEVERMADEITETC IN TUMBLR | WIKIPEDIA ]

Radical Masterpiece - Some cars are more than just machines; they’re snapshots of a particular era, capturing the imagination and attitude of the time. In the 1980s, when excess and individuality defined style, the automotive world also reflected this boldness. One of the most daring examples is the Gemballa Avalanche, a car that wasn’t content with merely being fast — it had to be unforgettable.
The Gemballa Avalanche immediately stood out with its futuristic styling, featuring a wide-body aero kit, sweeping curves, a sloping hood, and hidden pop-up headlights. (Picture from: SIlodrome)
The Avalanche began its life as a Porsche 930 Turbo, already an icon of performance, but Gemballa wasn’t satisfied with factory perfection. Founded in Leonberg, Germany, by Uwe Gemballa in 1981, the company specialized in transforming already elite sports cars into something entirely new. Gemballa’s vision went beyond simple performance upgrades; it was about reimagining how a supercar should look, feel, and even sound. The Avalanche, launched in the mid-1980s, was the culmination of that philosophy — wild in design, brutal in performance, and rare enough to be almost mythical today.
The Gemballa Avalanche displayed a side profile with concave accents and triple horizontal slats reminiscent of the Testarossa, which also guided airflow for aerodynamics, while its hidden door handles kept the lines clean and almost spaceship-like. (Picture from: Imboldn)
The Avalanche stood out immediately thanks to its futuristic styling. It carried a wide-body aero kit with sweeping curves, a sloping hood, and hidden pop-up headlights. From the side, its silhouette featured concave accents with triple horizontal slats — reminiscent of the rival Testarossa — that weren’t just for show but directed airflow for better aerodynamics. The door handles were subtly tucked into the bodywork, leaving the lines clean and almost spaceship-like. At the rear, a bold spoiler, unique to each build, dominated the view, while the distinctive rear window cover gave the Avalanche a comic-book aura, as if it could have easily been part of Batman’s garage.

The exterior wasn’t just about flash. Underneath, the Avalanche’s power came from a heavily reworked 3.4-liter flat-six turbo engine. Thanks to engineering collaboration with Alois Ruf of Ruf Automobile, the car produced around 375–380 horsepower, significantly more than the standard Porsche 930 of the era. This output, paired with a five-speed manual dog-leg transmission also developed by Ruf, gave the Avalanche serious performance credentials. The bespoke exhaust system delivered both power and an unmistakable soundtrack, while the 17-inch HRE alloy wheels grounded the car with a muscular stance.

Open the door, and the Avalanche offered a different kind of drama. While the exterior screamed extravagance, the cabin leaned toward classic luxury. Black leather wrapped nearly every surface, from the sports seats and dashboard to the steering wheel and gearshift lever. White-faced gauges provided sharp contrast behind the steering wheel, while modern-for-its-time amenities like an electric sunroof, power windows, and air conditioning elevated the comfort factor. An Alpine audio system, complete with a tuner, amplifier, and CD player, added to the experience — because a car like this was as much about being seen cruising as it was about sheer speed.

What truly makes the Avalanche so fascinating today is its rarity. Only 15 units were ever built, each one featuring small details that made it distinct. No two were exactly alike, and ownership was limited to the kind of people who wanted a car that would set them apart from even the wealthiest Porsche enthusiasts. Originally priced around $700,000 in the 1980s — an astronomical figure at the time — the Avalanche now represents a time capsule of radical engineering and design. Adjusted for today’s money, that number sits comfortably in the multimillion-dollar range, though it’s unlikely many current owners would let theirs go easily. | 2th_gXVRLqM |
Looking back now, the Gemballa Avalanche stands as a reminder of what happens when creativity, engineering, and a touch of audacity come together. It’s not just rare; it’s a symbol of the excess, experimentation, and ambition that defined the golden age of tuning houses. In a world where so many cars blend into the crowd, the Avalanche continues to stand apart — not just as one of the most exclusive Porsche-based creations ever made, but also as proof that some legends only grow stronger with time.

Electric Majesty - For decades, Ferrari has stood for the thunder of V8 and V12 engines, their symphony echoing across racetracks and open roads. The idea of a silent Ferrari once seemed unimaginable, like asking an orchestra to perform without instruments. Yet, time moves on, and so does innovation. Ferrari has finally stepped into the electric era with a name that says it all — Elettrica.
Ferrari Elettrica, the brand’s upcoming first all-electric grand tourer, is represented here by an illustrative image inspired by Ferrari’s design and spirit. (Image Reimagined by ChatGPT | Prompt by EKA)
“Elettrica,” meaning “electric” in Italian, represents more than just power; it symbolizes transformation. This marks a bold leap for a brand long devoted to combustion. The journey began in 2009 with hybrid technology inspired by Formula 1, evolving through models like the 599 HY-KERS, LaFerrari, SF90 Stradale, 296 GTB and 849 Testarossa — each paving the way toward Ferrari’s fully electric dream that is now becoming reality.

The Elettrica’sdesign remains under wraps until 2026, but Ferrari promises it will be crafted entirely in-house at Maranello, from motors to inverters. This ensures that, even without pistons or exhausts, the soul of the Prancing Horse remains untouched. At its core, the car features four electric motors — two at the front and two at the rear — producing a combined 1,128 PS and an incredible 11,500 Nm of torque.

Turbo Legacy - When people talk about icons of the 1980s, the conversation often turns to bold design, digital experiments, and turbocharged dreams. In the automotive world, few cars captured that spirit as perfectly as the 1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 50th Anniversary Edition. It wasn’t just another sports car—it was a rolling celebration of Nissan’s fifty years of engineering, blending style, innovation, and raw performance into a machine that still makes enthusiasts smile today.
The Z lineage had already built a reputation long before 1984, thanks to models like the 240Z, 260Z, and 280Z. When the 280ZX arrived in 1979, Nissan shifted toward comfort and refinement, adding luxuries such as four-wheel disc brakes and a more upscale interior. But by the time the 1984 model year rolled around, Nissan took a bold step forward: the ZX became the first Japanese car to feature a V6 engine, moving away from the straight-sixes of its predecessors. That decision alone was a statement, and in turbocharged form, the car delivered 200 horsepower and 227 lb-ft of torque—serious numbers for its era.
To celebrate its half-century milestone, Nissan created the 50th Anniversary Edition of the 300ZX Turbo, and it was unlike anything else on the road. Painted in a distinctive two-tone Light Pewter and Thunder Black finish, the coupe stood out with flared fenders, mirrored T-tops, and turbine-style alloy wheels. Pop-up headlights completed the wedge-shaped profile that screamed 1980s futurism. Just 5,148 examples were produced for the U.S. market, with another 300 reserved for Canada, making it a rare sight even when new.
Step inside and the car felt like a science-fiction experiment come to life. Drivers were greeted by a glowing green digital dashboard, complete with a sweeping tachometer, speed readout, and even G-force indicators. The steering wheel was ahead of its time, offering media and cruise controls long before they became mainstream. Perhaps the most talked-about feature was the Bodysonic sound system—seat-mounted speakers that vibrated with the music, immersing passengers in an audio experience that felt more like a personal concert than a car ride. Embroidered leather seats, electronic climate control, and adjustable suspension only added to its high-tech charm.
Despite its futuristic interior, the car didn’t forget its mission as a performance machine. Buyers could choose between a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual gearbox, and either way, the turbo V6 delivered thrills on open roads. With its balance of power, grip, and driver-focused ergonomics, the 300ZX solidified Nissan’s reputation as a builder of sports cars that could hold their own against European rivals at a more attainable price.
Looking back today, the 1984 300ZX Turbo 50th Anniversary Edition feels like a time capsule, capturing both Nissan’s proud history and the boundless optimism of the 1980s. It marked a turning point for the brand—proving that Japanese automakers could innovate with technology while delivering true performance and style. And beyond the specs, it carried the kind of character and presence that still draws attention wherever one appears, whether at a local car meet or simply cruising down the street.
As Nissan moves deeper into electrification and the modern Z continues to evolve, the 50th Anniversary 300ZX remains a reminder of how daring ideas can define an era. It wasn’t just a car—it was a celebration of ambition, and that spirit is what makes it unforgettable four decades later. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | USA.NISSANNEWS | CLASSICCARS | CLASSIC | RMSOTHEBYS ]

Wasted Potential - Some cars are born to dominate racetracks. Others are made to fill city streets or haul groceries. But then there are the rare few that exist for one reason only — to ask, “What if?” The Dodge Copperhead was one of those cars. It wasn’t built to break records or win market share. It was built to test the boundaries of what a sports car could be if you stripped away the excess and left behind only the shape of fun.
The Dodge Copperhead was a roadster that looked fast without being brutal, designed to make driving feel personal rather than powerful, with a long, low body, sculpted lines, bold curves, and big wheels pushed to each corner. (Picture from: Wikipedia)
When Dodge revealed the Copperhead as a concept in 1997 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, it wasn’t trying to create a sequel to the thunderous Viper — even though the comparisons were inevitable. Instead, the goal was far more grounded: make something beautiful, simple, and within reach. A roadster that looked fast but didn’t need to be brutal. One that made the thrill of driving feel more personal than powerful.

To get there, Dodge didn’t start from scratch. Instead, they stitched the Copperhead together from a variety of existing parts. Its engine, a 2.7-liter V6 borrowed from the Dodge Intrepid, delivered 220 horsepower — respectable, but far from thrilling. The transmission came from the Dakota pickup, and pieces of its suspension came from the Sebring, Talon, and Neon. It was a mechanical collage — a car made from the DNA of Dodge’s most practical vehicles, assembled into something entirely impractical by design.

But even with its modest power and borrowed guts, the Copperhead had a presence. Its body stretched long and low, with sculpted lines, bold curves, and big wheels pushed to each corner. It had the proportions of a classic roadster — long hood, short rear deck — and just enough attitude to make you believe it might bite. Its silhouette looked fast even when parked, and that illusion of speed was part of its charm. Dodge had even taken inspiration from the Austin-Healey 3000, a nod to classic British sports cars, but reimagined through an American lens.
The Dodge Copperhead concept featured a clean, purpose-built interior and was among the few show cars of its time that could drive, albeit slowly.(Picture from: Carbuzz)
Inside, the Copperhead leaned into simplicity. Contoured bucket seats, center-mounted controls, and a clean dash reminded you this was a concept car — not meant for production, but rather a rolling idea. It was one of the few concept vehicles at the time that could actually move under its own power, even if it was only driven slowly for magazine features and auto show demos.

The vision behind the Copperhead was clear: make a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car that didn’t rely on brute strength. But the vision didn’t last. As Chrysler shifted gears toward the SUV boom, priorities changed. The Copperhead, already built from mismatched parts and riding on a fragile business case, quietly disappeared. And with Dodge already juggling the Viper and the newly greenlit Prowler, there simply wasn’t room for a third niche performance car.

Further complicating its fate was the recent merger with Daimler. With the Mercedes-Benz SLK already filling the same space in the market, the Copperhead became redundant before it ever had a chance to prove itself. Its production was quietly shelved, and what could have been an accessible, fun-focused roadster became another concept that never made it past the show floor.
The Dodge Copperhead concept car was once displayed at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, where its striking rear three-quarter view showcased the car’s bold curves and wide stance. (Picture from: Wikipedia)
Still, the Copperhead wasn’t a failure — at least not in spirit. It did exactly what concept cars are meant to do: it sparked imagination. It showed what could happen when a company plays with proportion, design, and purpose. It reminded car lovers that not every fast-looking machine needs to be terrifying to drive. Some just need to make you smile. | tCD9vwqMMyA |
