A really rather gorgeous 1958 Ferrari 250GT Cabriolet – one of only 40 made and only 11 to retain its original motor and transmission.
Similar in appearance to the (mocked-up) 1961 250GT SWB California Spider that featured in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, this is the real thing.
Restored to Concours condition and yours for between €7,000,000 and €9,000,000, but probably closer to the latter.
The fruits of a recent ‘Holy Grail’ double barn-find:
A rare 1966 Ferrari 275GTB Long Nose Alloy and a barely broken-in (18,000 miles on the clock) 1967 Shelby 427 Cobra (one of only 260 such roadsters ever made).
Yours for around €2,600,000 and €1,000,000 respectively.
This is the Arch Method 143 from Arch Motorcycles – a collaboration between actor Keanu Reeves and designer/producer Gard Hollinger.
And quite the hog it is: a 2.4l, v-twin engine in a carbon fibre frame with an upper body machined from a single piece of aluminium.
But enough about Keanu.
Only 23 of these will be made. Price tbc.
Boston Dynamics’ autonomous quadrobots evolve to the next level.
Imagine how far their militarised Wildcat has advanced in the last five years.
We’re all doomed.
A 1954 Mercedes Benz 300 Gullwing that once belonged to the legendary late actor and petrolhead, Paul Newman.
Returned to showroom condition after 6,000 hours of restoration work, it was one of the first one hundred gullwings ever made and it can not be yours for any price because it’s already been sold.
Back in 1957, with the last twenty five of one hundred Jaguar D-Type roadsters in various stages of construction, a fire at the factory brought production of the be-finned, single-seaer road-rocket to an end.
Now, Jaguar Classic is finishing the run with 25 D-Types constructed exactly according to the original drawings and records – at least one of which will debut at the 2018 Paris Retromobile Show this month, with deliveries starting later in the year.
Yours to preorder for €1.14 million+.
Highlights from every film that won the Oscar for visual effects since 1929, compiled by Burger Fiction’s Andy Schneider and Jonathan Britnell.
Behold: the Nissan 370Zki (ski what they did there?) – a 370Z Roadster lifted and adapted into a one-off, rear-track-drive snowdster by American Track Truck.
There are no production plans yet but just look at it go.
An unashamed pie-in-the-sky homage to the 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic (top pic) by designer Arthur B. Nustas, who calls this elongated Cruella deVil style roadster concept the Type 57T.
Nustas has sixteen years to talk his way into the Bugatti boardroom before the centenary of the Type 57.
It could happen.
Probably unofficial but who cares signage at Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NYC.
