1932 Lincoln KB Boattail Speedster

Hi THE CAR ,Not  form the alternate universe it might be made by the aliens, one of the finest examples of a "OLD CAN BE THE GOLD" .with a price tag of $200,000 and $275,000.(set to cross the block on Thursday evening, October 6, and RM Sotheby’s is anticipating a selling price


 Edsel Ford might have commissioned a custom-bodied Lincoln Speedster from Paris, France, carrosserie Hibbard & Darrin, complete with pontoon fenders, a tapered rear deck, and a hood that stretched to the horizon to cover the hot-rodded V-12 beneath it. In this universe, it never happened, yet the car exists, the result of one man’s passion and another man’s flair for design. Next month, this one-of-a-kind 1932 Lincoln Model KB Boattail Speedster heads to auction in Hershey, Pennsylvania, as part of the annual RM Sotheby’s sale.

that is a can meant  for those who wanted " A class  not mass ". the automotive was made from from Paris, France.

this beauty has a heart  of  12-cylinder Lincoln KB engine instead of a replacement eight-cylinder KA. Rated at 150 horsepower in original trim, the hopped up 448-cu.in. V-12 sports a quartet of two-barrel Stromberg 81 carburetors, which help to raise output to 175 horsepower.

Completion of the Lincoln Speedster took three and a half years, and the car debuted in time to show at the 1999 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. 
There, it scored a second-place ribbon in the American Pre-War 1932-1941 class, much to then-owner Bilpuch’s amazement. It was a proud moment for Holls as well, but sadly the designer died in June 2000, just as his Speedster continued its winning ways on the show circuit at Eyes on Design and the Bay Harbor Vintage Car & Boat Festival.

Ferrari F12 TRS

Ferrari F12 TRS one of the most sexiest cars i have ever seen  in my life . this beauty has  the 

heart of a roaring 6.3-liter V12 as the stock F12 Berlinetta, with 729 horsepower and

 508 pound-feet of torque engine. this car an go 0 to 100  in just 3.1 sec and has the 

top speed of 320 Kph/211mph. Ferrari says it built the TRS for a customer who wanted a modern car inspired by the 1957 250 Testa Rossa. The wraparound windshield and roofless bodywork evoke that legendary sports car, while features from the stock F12 – like the “aerobridge” cutouts in the front fenders and T-shaped rear fascia – have been restyled for a more dramatic look.

 the a unique  body of this  supermodel is based on the famous. A red berlinetta body based on the F12 berlinetta, made for a customer by Ferrari under its Special Projects programme.  The car  made  its public debut in Sicily at Ferrari Cavalcade in June 2014. 
A third F12 TRS was seen at the Ferrari Cavalcade in June 2015, finished in a chrome grey paint and featuring redesigned front bumper, headlights, mirrors and rear diffuser.


The line truly matches that " beauty lies in the eyes with the power inside" but for the  beauty and  power don t comes cheap  one of the most expensive
supercar and the most wonderful  beauty of Ferrari comes with a price tag of  $4.2 million which would be enough to buy a , McLaren P1, andPorsche 918 Spyder, with some change left over. Originality doesn’t come cheap.

"Tank Car" also known as the Blastolene Special



The Blastolene Special, also known as the "Tank Car", is a unique, specially built car, designed and built by American engineer and enthusiast Randy Grubb.
The car is currently owned by American entertainer Jay Leno, who regularly drives it on public streets, and also has the car on display at various car shows and meets in the greater Los Angeles area, and the Californian car culture enthusiast scene. Created from an American military tank engine and a custom-made aluminium body.                                                                                                                        The car weighs 9,500 pounds (4,300 kg) which is 1/11th the weight of the original tank from which the engine was used.

In 2001 an artist/designer named Michael Leeds designed the Blastolene Special - constructed by craftsman Randy Grubb with a Continental AV1790-5B — a huge engine that weighs as much as a Volkswagen Beetle — used in a 51-ton M47 Patton Tank in the 1950s, with a Greyhound bus transmission and sheet metal body. Randy figured he made about US$125,000 selling it to Jay Leno to put into the extensive collection of cars he owns —84 cars and 73 motorcycles as of April 2006. The car was built at Grubb's shop in Grants Pass, Oregon.
The M47 Patton is the second American tank.
    Weight — 4,300 kg (9500 lb)
    Length — 6.40 metres (252 in)
    Transmission — 6-speed Allison automatic
    Quarter Mile — 14.7 seconds @ 150 km/h (estimated)
    Top Speed — 225.30 kph+(estimated)
    810 horsepower (600 kW) and 1,590 pound force-feet (2,160 N·m) of torque
    Cost — The car sold at auction for $260,000 on January 23, 2010.
After purchasing the car, Jay Leno made numerous enhancements to the road worthiness of the vehicle, including new six-speed Allison automatic gearbox, new rear brakes, new electrical system, and chassis work.[3] The engine was later upgraded with fuel injection and twin turbochargers from Gale Banks and his company, Gale Banks Engineering, estimated to produce 1,600 hp and 4,100 N·m of torque.
Introduced as "The Jay Leno Tank Car" on Gran Turismo 4, it ended up in the game "by accident" when the game development team visited Jay's garage for some engine noises. They noticed the car and were so amazed they put it in the game.

During one of the first freeway test drives an unsuitable oil line ruptured and dumped the entire 17 gallons of oil onto the road
    The car gets 5 miles per gallon (up from the original performance of 2–3 miles per gallon, after the transmission was replaced.)
    The engine red-lines at 2,900 rpm.
    Jay Leno brought the car on his show when interviewing Arnold Schwarzenegger and introduced it as "The Terminator car".
    Jay Leno had a tuning company, Gale Banks Engineering, add twin turbochargers to the engine, not for higher power but to get better fuel economy.

Blastolene has since made a similar car styled after a 1950s-era Indy Car, called the Blastolene Indy Special.

 A Miura concept car was presented at the American Museum of Tele
vision & Radio on January 5, 2006 alongside the Los Angeles Auto Show, though it was not present at the show itself. Instead, the Miura concept car officially debuted at the North American International Auto Show two weeks later. It was the first design to be penned by Lamborghini design chief, Walter de'Silva, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1966 Geneva introduction of the original Miura.

Lamborghini president and CEO Stefan Winkelmann denied that the concept would mark the Miura's return to production, saying “The Miura was a celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura
