Bertone Pandion Concept...

The Bertone Pandion bears more than a passing resemblance to the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept, but then holy crap, the doors open and everything changes. Still, it’s saving the best trick ’til you get up close. The real genius in the Pandion is in the front and rear...

Trabant-Themed Art From...

What do Trabis and Hitler have in common apart from Godwin’s Law and the lack of steel after World War II due to heavy Wehrmacht usage? I don’t have a clue, but the Swiss deserve mad kudos for their organizational skills: even the graffiti in the men’s room is...

What’s Lurking In...

At first glance, BMW’s vast stand is nothing but a sea of compulsory hybrids and Herr Reithofer giving the thumbs up . But a dark doorway beckons into M-land. Here it is compared to the entire BMW area, a single red dot in a maze of yawn: Get inside and it’s all that matters...

How Green Was My Volvo ...

Kermit the Frog once intoned that it isn’t easy being green . As much as Nice Price or Crack Pipe respects the opinion of our friend with a hand up his ass, this bio fuel-ready Volvo wagon could prove him wrong. As expected, yesterday’s sheep in tumorous wolf’s clothing...

I See London, I See Fra...

The guys at Brass Monkey Racing recently announced plans to enter two Nissan GT-Rs in the 2010 World Challenge championship . The build process for both cars is being documented on the team’s website. Naked Godzilla? Those are some large undies. Two points of interest here: First,...

How Quick Is A Roller C...

Car and Driver took a road trip to Cedar Point and brought their Racelogic Vbox testing rig. How quick is a roller coaster? Watch the video and find out. (Hint: Below 60 mph, it’ll smoke almost anything on wheels.) Just for reference, this is what C/D’s video-capable Vbox...
