MMM: Toyota Wireframe

29/10/2007

They say this isn’t shopped. I’m pretty sure I don’t believe them.

Thanks Fergus!

MMM: Audi A1

22/10/2007

Sorry for the lack of MMM last Monday. One Of Those Weeks.

Mark sent me an article about the upcoming Audi A1. Unfortunately it’s in Swedish so I haven’t a bull’s* notion what it says, but I must look into it later so I’ll report back if I spy anything interesting.

Not bad looking in general, nice pillarless design, but what’s going on with that silver swoosh at the roofline?

* Have I gone overboard with the apostrophe there?

MMM: 2010 Camaro

01/10/2007

It looks like the US has found it’s muscle car feet again, after years in the wilderness. The new Camaro will look a lot like this, albeit with a b-pillar.

Sadly the Challenger will gain a pillar too, but I can’t see it taking too much from these cars if they don’t screw with the concepts too much.

MMM: Stout Scarab

24/09/2007

Retro-futuristic concept from Frankfurt perhaps? No, this spaceframe-monocoque MPV, with independent suspension, coil springs, flexible seating and push-button doors, was built in the 1930s by a gent named Bill Stout.

Unfortunately it was about four times more expensive than comparable cars, so it’s been consigned to history, it’s innovations mostly forgotten.

(Thanks to kingdom hoop for the pointer.)

 

MMM: Nice Manta

24/09/2007

There’s a difference between liking Mantas and being obsessed with Mantas like Jalopnik, but I do like them, and I’m afraid I’m partial to the old wide body kit too so this one revs me up. Sorry, I know it makes me a bad person, but what can you do?

(The Playboy sticker is a step too far though.)  

MMM: Don’t Want One

24/09/2007

It’s just silly, isn’t it. And so un-Audi; even the RS4 is relatively subtle.
