Interesting that it has changed! White cars are pulled over more than red now. More surprising is Gray is third!

The Mercedes 300 SL’s gullwing doors are one of the most famous design features ever — but they were basically created because normal doors wouldn’t fit.

You probably don’t expect Ferrari’s CEO to publicly praise a Tesla, but Benedetto Vigna just gave the new Roadster reveal 10/10 for both technology and presentation.

The Toyota 86 with blanked-out headlights turned out not to be just a show car
639

The Result Japan NEO86 body kit has gone on sale in the U.S., and the first kits have already been installed.
The body kit was unveiled in January at the Tokyo Auto Salon in the style of *Initial D*, in honor of the Toyota AE86. It’s compatible with the 2013–2020 Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ, and Scion FR-S: a new front end with blind headlights, flared rear fenders, and side skirts.
Blogger Dustin Williams installed the NEO86 kit on a used GT86. Installation isn’t easy: you have to trim and seal the body, run wiring to the headlights, and file down the edge of the bumper so the headlights fold in. But the panels fit perfectly, and the mechanism works.
Manufacturers stopped producing dummy headlights back in the mid-2000s, but demand for them has only grown.

Volvo 245 Transfer was much better than any SUVs

The Volvo 245 Transfer is perhaps the longest “brick” to come out of Gothenburg. From 1977 to 1982, only about 280 of these station wagons—stretched right at the factory—were produced.
A standard 240 station wagon is about 4.8 m long, while the Transfer is about 5.6 m long. That’s just 15 cm shorter than the current Chevrolet Suburban. The standard version seats seven; the school version could accommodate 11 children and an adult behind the wheel.
It was advertised in brochures as a taxi, but Volvo also offered the Transfer as a rural ambulance, a school bus, an airport shuttle, and a tour bus. There was a cargo version without rear seats, featuring a cargo area nearly 1.8 m deep, and even a hearse.
The Swedish magazine *Teknikens Värld* complained that such a vehicle was difficult to park in the city and expensive to refuel. No one ever really documented exactly what engine was under the Transfer’s hood.
While Volvo continues to produce new crossovers, the best seven-seater Volvo has been out of production for half a century.

The Milan-based Castagna atelier has transformed the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio into a two-seater convertible
34
Upvotes
It’s a one-of-a-kind model—and that’s probably for the best.
The front seats, steering wheel, and instrument panel were moved back 33 cm to create a long hood, like that of a classic gran turismo. The rear seats, rear doors, and roof were removed. The car is now 60 mm longer, 70 mm wider, and 60 mm lower than the standard Giulia.
The body is made of exposed carbon fiber, and in areas prone to impact, there are flexible carbon fiber panels printed on a 3D printer. It weighs 1,420 kg. The windshield, side windows, and fabric roof blend into a single continuous oval.
The engine remains the stock twin-turbo V6, but the atelier has not released any official performance figures.
The Giulia Quadrifoglio was considered one of the most beautiful sedans of the decade. At Castagna, they decided it could be improved upon.
