Johannes P. Paulussen's Beradino: A Hidden Gem in Sports Car Innovation

Hidden GEMS - In the fiercely competitive world of automotive design, many lesser-known sports car brands struggle to gain recognition among enthusiasts. However, the relentless creativity of passionate individuals transcends boundaries, leading to the creation of spectacular works of art that can rival those produced by industry giants.
The Beradino is a remarkable Italian classic sports car born from the vision of Johannes P. Paulussen, a talented German designer. (Picture from: Blog.DuPontRegestry)
Such is the case with Beradino, a remarkable sports car born from the vision of Johannes P. Paulussen, a talented German designer. Hailing from a modest middle-class background, Paulussen received invaluable advice from his father, a skilled carpenter. His father's words resonated deeply, emphasizing the importance of crafting one's own path to achieve one's dreams, even if it meant creating something as complex as a car from scratch.

In 1961, a young Johannes P. Paulussen embarked on a journey to bring his unique car design to life. After completing elementary school in 1967, he enrolled in the Automotive Technology program at the Technical University in Aachen, Germany. It was during this period that Beradino began to take shape, with Paulussen meticulously designing a bespoke tubular steel chassis and crafting a buck for the car's fiberglass bodywork using wood and plaster.
The Beradino cabin accommodates two passengers in a pair of ergonomic racing bucket seats, equipped with a three-spoke racing steering wheel, and features a unique central instrument panel placement. (Picture from: Goodwood)
While the aesthetics of the Paulussen sports car draw inspiration from Italian classics, its drivetrain features an air-cooled engine akin to the iconic German sports car, the Porsche 911. The engine is traditionally positioned at the rear of the car, aligning perfectly with the car's distinct body shape. When it comes to the nomenclature of his dream car, Paulussen revealed that it was influenced by a Western movie he happened to watch in 1968, where one of the actors bore the name John Beradino. The name Beradino etched itself into his mind and became the moniker for his dream car.
The Beradino sports car's versatility shines through with three roof configurations that can be effortlessly switched to transform its appearance into a fastback, notch-back with a decklid, or a full roadster. (Picture from: RareComponentCars)
The Beradino boasts a distinctive design, artfully blending elements from renowned vehicles like the Ferrari 250 GTO, Ford GT40, and Alfa Romeo Canguro. Its proportions can be deceptive, leading many to believe it's a front-engine GT car. However, the car's versatility shines through with three roof configurations that can be effortlessly switched to transform its appearance into a fastback, notch-back with a decklid, or a full roadster.

After an astounding 7,000 hours of labor, the dream car became a reality and successfully received roadworthy certification from German authorities. Johannes P. Paulussen made it his personal daily driver until 1992. However, as his teaching career and family responsibilities took precedence, the car went into storage for 17 long years.

It wasn't until 2009 that the Beradino sports car emerged from its hibernation, embarking on an extensive restoration process that spanned two years and required 3,000 man-hours of meticulous craftsmanship. This painstaking effort breathed new life into the Beradino, and it soon made appearances at prestigious classic car shows, including Essen, Goodwood, and Castle Classic Days, where it clinched the coveted "Best Prototype" award in 2011.
In more recent times, Johannes P. Paulussen has contemplated producing additional Beradino examples and is actively seeking investors to support this ambitious endeavor. Only time will tell if this new dream can be transformed into reality. Given that most individuals never progress beyond the concept stage when pursuing such audacious goals, we should not underestimate the significance of Paulussen's remarkable achievement in bringing the Beradino to life. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BERADINO | RARECOMPONENTCARS | GOODWOOD | BLOG.DUPONTREGISTRY  ]

A Unique Gem: The One-off Porsche Straßenversion for Mansour Ojjeh

ONE-OFF - In 1983, Porsche unveiled a remarkable and exclusive creation - a one-off, road-legal masterpiece crafted exclusively for TAG owner, Mansour Ojjeh. This exceptional vehicle, built on the foundation of a Porsche 934 chassis, was ingeniously designed to pay homage to the mighty Porsche 935 racecars, and in doing so, it became one of the pioneering examples of the iconic 'slantnose' Porsches.

Drawing inspiration from the dominant Porsche 935 race cars that had reigned supreme in the Group 5 Sports Car Championship, this unique Porsche bore the unmistakable signature of racing excellence. The silhouette series allowed for radical modifications, which, in turn, gave birth to a repositioned nose, ultra-wide flares, and an extended rear bodywork - all of which were faithfully transferred to Mansour Ojjeh's extraordinary vehicle.

A substantial part of this transformation was orchestrated by Porsche's innovative 'Sonderwunsch' department, a team responsible for conceiving the slantnose design and introducing other competition-centric features to handpicked 911 Turbos. In 1982, the single-turbo Group B 911 Turbo was readily available. However, for this special project, the 3.3-liter engine underwent a substantial upgrade, now boasting an impressive 400 bhp, with the inclusion of an oil cooler ingeniously fitted in the car's front end. At one point, the car even journeyed to Werk 1, where it was modified alongside Porsche's own fleet of factory race cars.

This exceptional Porsche also boasted a range of distinctive features. It rode on BBS center-locking wheels, exhibited an enhanced suspension system, and offered a premium interior. Inside the cabin, you'd find a newly-installed roll cage, Recaro seats, deleted rear seats replaced with storage boxes, and even a sophisticated stereo system. The suspension, too, was upgraded with competition-grade shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, and a lowered overall ride height for enhanced performance.

Upon its completion, this remarkable vehicle could achieve a top speed of 186.30 mph and sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds. Subsequently, it found its way into the ownership of John Mecom and spent a significant portion of its life in the Lone Star State of Texas. Remarkably, with a mere 12,000 miles on its odometer, the vehicle was offered for sale by John Starkey in 2004, carrying a price tag of US $125,000.
This extraordinary Porsche creation, born out of a desire to blend the best of racing technology with street-legal functionality, remains a true testament to Porsche's unrelenting pursuit of automotive excellence. Its unique combination of iconic design and high-performance engineering has solidified its place as an automotive gem, treasured by enthusiasts and collectors alike. *** [EKA [25062015] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SUPERCAR.NET]

Behind the Wheel: Bill Gates' Love Affair with Porsche 959

Unique ONES - There is hardly anyone in the world who is unfamiliar with Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest individuals globally. However, only a few may know about his intriguing and unique connections with the automotive world. Behind his composed and calm demeanor, Bill Gates harbors an unquenchable passion for cars, often displaying a carefree and reckless attitude while behind the wheel.
This Porsche 959 made Bill Gates have to be willing to wait up to 25 years to be able to bring it home. (Picture from: The Verge)
According to various online sources, Bill Gates has a series of captivating anecdotes in the realm of automobiles. The All Car Leasing website from England even labels him as the most careless celebrity when it comes to driving. The list includes other controversial figures who have had run-ins with the law, such as singer DMX, Pete Doherty, Kylie Jenner, and Justin Bieber.
Bill Gates is listed as one of the world's celebrities who often deals with the law related to violations of traffic laws, and was even arrested in 1977 for driving without a license and running a red light. (Picture from: Otomotif-Sindonews)
Bill Gates has reportedly been involved in four traffic violations and was once arrested for driving without a license and speeding. In 1977, he faced another arrest for driving without a license and running a red light. Bill Gates undeniably possesses a profound love for the automotive world. He dedicates considerable effort to pursuing his passion for various aspects of the automotive industry, particularly his fondness for Porsche cars.

Bill Gates' adoration for Porsche is indisputable, often seen behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 or other models from the renowned brand. However, the most captivating topic surrounding his automotive endeavors is the Porsche 959. This sports car, initially released in 1986, seamlessly blends elements from rally racing cars and Porsche's meticulously designed concept vehicles.
Bill Gates was only able to bring home his silver Porsche 959 (in pictured 1987 Porsche 959 Komfort) thanks to "Show and Display" law signed by the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton. (Picture from: DuPont Regestry)
Moreover, the Porsche 959 held the distinction of being Porsche's most sophisticated and powerful sports car of its time. It boasted a twin-turbo flat-six engine capable of generating an impressive 444 horsepower and a maximum torque of 369 lb-ft. The car's exquisite engineering and allure enticed Bill Gates, prompting him to promptly order a silver one for himself upon its release and have it shipped to the United States.

Sadly, upon its arrival in the United States, the car was immediately confiscated by immigration authorities due to non-compliance with homologation regulations and the absence of mandatory crash testing required in the country. Instead of enjoying his newly acquired vehicle, Bill Gates could only watch as it languished in an impoundment facility.

Despite making numerous attempts, Bill Gates found himself bound by existing regulations. Decades later, however, he still hadn't forgotten about the car. An opportunity eventually emerged when Bill Clinton assumed the presidency as the 42nd President of the United States.

During this period, Bill Clinton was evaluating the Show and Display law proposed by the Federal Motor Safety Standards (FMVSS). This legislation granted American citizens the privilege of owning cars of exceptional historical and technological significance, provided they were produced in limited quantities or classified as special editions rarely seen on the road.
This law proved to be Bill Gates' saving grace. The Porsche 959, produced in a limited quantity of 337 units, including one owned by him, fit the criteria perfectly. Seizing the opportunity, Bill Gates wasted no time. 

Following the law's signing by Bill Clinton, the founder of Microsoft could finally retrieve his cherished car from the impoundment facility and bring it home. According to the Dupont Registry, it took Bill Gates approximately 25 years to overcome the obstacles and drive his Porsche 959. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE VERGE | ALL CAR LEASING | DUPONT REGESTRY ]
