K.I.S.S. E30
It's very rare to ever see a car that looks complete, done, perfectly executed. This is such a car, finished in a subtle yet tasteful way IMO. S50, spotless cloth interior, and unmolested exterior with that just right wheel fitment.
Car Spotlight / Track Attack NA6
It's no ASM or Evasive/Voltex, but the spirit of track attack is definitely strong with this one.
Car Spotlight / Calvin Wan's FD
I've been following Formula D since '05 and for better or worst, it always had a unique style of cars. In the beginning there were a few cars brought in from other series such as D1, but for the most part Formula D cars are best described as, well, FD cars. A little street, a little factory race car, a little JDM and a little USDM. The result is a motorsport series with a long history of cars with unique personalities that become fused with the driver's driving style. Forsberg has his Nissan Z's, Vaughn Gitten has his Mustangs, and OG Calvin Wan will always have his Mazda FD. With exception of the A'PEXi RX-7, no other FD is as iconic in the series. Like a vintage Le Mans racer, it's always a real treat to see such a well known retired car back in action like it was the good ole days.
Car Spotlight / Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3
A V12 powered Aston Martin built for endurance racing. Yeah, that sounds just about perfect to me.
Go Bruins!
Aston Martin races their V8 Vantages in GT3 as well, but only their V12 models have the cool fender gills, I presume to help assist with cooling down those extra 4 cylinders.
Of course wearing 007. It's not just for show either, Aston Martin actually uses the 007 number during racing as well, though last I remember seeing it was on the Prodrive DB9R. Maybe different series/class means there are multiple AM's out there racing with Mr. Bond's number?
I'm still more of a Porsche/BMW guy than Aston Martin, but I still love their cars and would jump to have the chance to race in one. #millionarewishlist
Car Spotlight / Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Coupe
Just one image today, I'll post more tomorrow.
It seems like the moment I mentioned higher end German cars aren't as common, I'm seeing them everywhere, so scratch that observation. They're just as popular as any other major city. That said, AMG/M/S models still seem uncommon to see, at least compared to SF/LA, so when I do spot something like this C63 AMG Coupe, they catch my eye. Certainly helps that I find the current MB lineup to be a very handsome (except for that mess of a car, the SL).
Car Spotlight / GTP ZX-Turbo
Because race car.
Car Spotlight / Hakosuka
The BMW E9 will always be THE coupe for me to obtain and one day I believe I can achieve it since, luckily for me, I actually prefer the lower 2800CS models over the more sought after 3.0 models and idolized CSL models. However, if I had the room and means to have a 2nd classic coupe in my imaginary garage, it'd undoubtably be a black Hakosuka. Something about the great squared off looks and a brilliant carbed straight 6 packaged in a reliable and relatively easy to drive vehicle just checks off all of the right boxes for me. Many car enthusiasts believe that the 60s was the greatest era for automotive design and with great cars like this, you'd be hard pressed to argue otherwise.
Car Spotlight / Turbo Lotus Elise
Boosting an Elise to deliver around 350 hp is much like giving caffeine to a fly, giving a serious dose of speed to the already nimble body that it is. I always saw these cars as that perfect transition vehicle between the more roadster styled cars (S2000, Boxter, etc.) to the borderline road-legal go karts (Caterhams and Atoms). Definitely a car that could bring a smile to my face should I be so lucky to have the keys to one in the future.
