Cadillac has a special ability to make all of their cars look futuristic but in a 50s-60s nuclear era sort of way. I really really like it.
-
Who is that ass who put the number 7 decal on the Lamborghini? It should be level with the ground not any line on the body.
-
Is it just me or is there a Hoffmeister kink on the Lexus GS?
-
That Aston Martin Zagato looks really good - I just wish the front grill wasn't so gapingly huge.

Monterey was pretty damn good this year.
The GS is the best reveal, and the Ciel is the best concept of the year thus far.

I love that F50!! It's on my "Bucket List" just to sit behind the wheel of an F50...
When did Infiniti become the luxurry division of Toyota? That JX concept looks like a Highlander to me, at least from the angle in the posted pic.
That GS looks kind of boring from that angle. I had gotten excited about it from the concept and the front end shots I've seen, but that picture doesn't make it seem all that exciting. I'll have to see one in person...
The Evora and V12 Zagato both look pretty freaking awesome to me...

I never, ever understood the appeal of the F50.
It's one of the most ridiculous looking cars in history if you ask me.
Driftster
Aug 22, 2011, 11:56 AM
I could understand the stock f50, i didn't like it..but i understood why It's a ferrari halo car....but that GT car always looked sooo absolutely retarded to me..
The wing is so half-assed it's not even funny...
Who would pay that exacerbated premium over a f50 for horrible looking ground effex and a god-awful BOMEX wing

Dude Peeble Beach concorso is one of those events much like goodwood car festival that you must see at least once in your life. Just the cars are impressive to see.
I also herad that not only was there the F50 gt but a normal F50 as well, quite a rare site to see both of them together. Wasnt the F50 gt engine a V12 with a 12 k rpm limiter.
phi1698
Aug 22, 2011, 1:28 PM
Vtec, I think I just like the F50 because it was the halo car for Ferrari when I first started really falling in love with cars. There is still a F50 poster hanging on the wall in my old room at my parents' house. I like that the styling is so outrageous.

JoeProte83

Considering the F50GT broke the 333SP record by a couple of seconds, it did performed really well on testing. Would have been nice to see it race... I love the car to be honest, maybe is cause is the last Ferrari to ever use a derived F1 engine for production...
Driftster
Aug 22, 2011, 3:09 PM
yes..it performed very well....It was still the only ugly as sin car in a field of gorgeous racers at the time.
So really love for the car would have been purely brand related
JoeProte83
Aug 22, 2011, 3:21 PM
I don't even like the Enzo to be honest. The F50GT may not have been pretty compared to some of the cars but it did look good compared to say the Marcos...
ChamoJB
Aug 22, 2011, 4:01 PM
I have to disagree this F50 GT looks bad ass, maybe the street version looks funky but the lower bumper and the ground efects is what seals the deal with this car.

looks like a koenisegg from the back..
either way... while the wing is a little out of place, being a functional element, as well as the diffuser and the front bumper it seals the deal for me.

The Ferrari F50 is honestly one of my top 3 favorite cars of all time...and even I don't think that race car thing looks all that great.
http://s2.hubimg.com/u/834229_f520.jpg
LOOK HOW AWESOME THAT IS!!!
I know fully well a lot of people don't like it, but it's a convertible Ferrari with the engine in the back, OH and it's a V12, a Ferrari V12, and it's red.
SO NEAT!
That Cadillic is badass though. I want one.

It's just blue and white painted to look like it's a top lit light source..
also..I'm not sure if the ceramic sections might crack off and kill pedestrians.
Cooper "s"
Sep 01, 2011, 8:14 AM
considering the ceramic tiles used on the space shuttle hold a massive abuse...
this while obviously not the same ceramic as that, can be made to withstand substantial vibrations.

how many rocks does a space ship hit?

*space debris... is also composed of rocks, or used to be meteor and comet fragments.

No..pitch black the movie..
hull gets penetrated by space debris from the tail of a passing comet...
that means it's in real life..
this car would kill people..in space...

Cooper "s"
Sep 01, 2011, 12:57 PM
the skin of the space craft in pitch black is not made from ceramic.
most probably its some type of metal alloy...
ceramic is only used in re-entry into heavy ozone type planets, to withstand the heat, of entering at 17,323 mph.... maybe if the damn shuttle would use retro rockets to slow its ass down from its gravitational fall... maybe it too could get away without ceramics...
so basically... Veyron 1, Vin Diesel 0

Coated LI-900 Silica ceramic to be precise.... Is not the only material in the black area since LI-2200 was made for areas close to landing gear and other material also is used in the black area but don't remember the name now...
