Bertone Mantide – click above for high-res image gallery
While definitely one of (if not the) fastest production cars in the world, the SSC Ultimate Aero has seldom been praised for its looks. Somewhat resembling just about every other supercar out there in one detail or another, the styling has charitably been described as everything from [...]
It’s like d??j?? vu all over again. Fact: Dude wins an eBay auction for a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with 250 miles on the odometer. Fact: Usually a new (or in this case, new-ish) SRT8 sells for about $41,000. Fact: Winning bid was $29,100. Opinion: Sweet deal, bro!

Toyota/Subaru Coupe test mule – Click above to enlarge
Japan’s Best Car (via 7Tune) apparently reports that development costs associated with Subaru’s version of the Toyota FT-86 sport coupe have become so high that all-wheel drive is now being dropped from the equation. If true, this would deprive the widely-expected Scooby coupe of the feature [...]

In honor of Tomica’s 40th anniversary, jeweler Ginza Tanaka has produced a one-of-a-kind replica of the toymaker’s die-cast 1970 Nissan Fairlady Z432 (the Z432 was a Japan-only model powered by the same S20 inline-6 used in the C10 Skyline GT-R).
