When life gives you tomatoes, you either make ketchup, or the most expensive car in the world. Rust Heinz had all the ketchup in the world when he was born, so he went the other way and designed the Phantom Corsair. $15,000 in 1938 was a lot of money. Think a pair of Cadillac V-16s kind of money. For reference, note that the cheapest Chevrolet cost $618 back then. It also has a little bit of a gamer's lore, serving as inspiration for one of the prototypes that you get in the first Mafia game iteration, if you complete a mission in the Free Ride Extreme mode. #jayleno #jaylenogarage #phantomcorsair #cord810 #mantaprototype #mafiagamecars #freerideextreme #phantomcorsairmantaprototype #classicamericancar #classicar #oneoff

The good folks over at "car.design.trends" have recently focused our attention on a proposal for a new Mercedes-AMG hypercar done by designer Tadeáš Čech, aka ‘tadeascech’ on social media, a Transportation Design student at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia. He’s got prior experience at Volkswagen Design, but this time around, he’s envisioning a Mercedes-AMG hypercar concept. #mercedesamg #darkstar #mercedesamgdarkstar #hypercar #concepthypercar #rendering #conceptcar

Meet the Sinister Nova. The 1969 Chevy restomod retains the old-school silhouette and keeps its distance from the flashy body kits and oversized wings. Looking mean and menacing, the coupe was unveiled at the Toyo Tires Treadpass during the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Hand fabrication, custom everything, and a massive V8 under the hood are part of the plan. #chevroletnova #chevynova #sinisternova #restomod #americanmusclecar #musclecar #modifiedchevynova #customchevrolet #rampageempirefab

Not long before the catastrophic unveiling of the Luce, there was an era when nearly every Ferrari proudly sported a magnificent V12 engine at the front, especially when looking back in history from a statistical perspective. Considering this, I've curated a selection of modern Ferraris that would likely have been among Il Commendatore's favorites had he lived well beyond 120 years. They are also a great palate cleanser after that dreadful Luce. #ferrari #ferrariv12 #FerrariMonzaSP2 #FerrariBR20 #FerrariSP51 #Ferrari812Competizione #FerrariDaytonaSP3 #v12

Some say that adding the famous General Lee livery to anything that’s not a ’69 Dodge Charger should be considered a war crime. However, if you don’t care about that, then you might just fancy this machine, but don't get any hopes of getting it, that chance has sailed away. #ferrari #ferrari348 #generalleeferrari #v8 #orangeferrari #generallee348

Revology Cars announced their latest model, a 1970 Boss 302 lookalike with a modern Coyote heart, and a price tag over 100k over the most expensive original. It’s been 20.834 days since the Ford Mustang Boss 302 news broke out (as of April 11, 2026), and the moniker has not lost a single spark of luster in the almost six decades that have passed over it since. If anything, it aged like diamonds – unphased, immune to the passage of time, and just as brilliant as ever. To honor that monumental machine from the classic era, Revology Cars has expanded its lineup of re-engineered icons with the debut of their 1970 Mustang Boss 302. This release follows the 1969 Boss 429 and pays tribute to an original SCCA Trans-Am racing legend, reimagined through modern performance standards. #fordmustang #revologycars #boss302 #coyotev8 #1970mustangboss302 #restomod #musclecar #americanmusclecar #classicamericanmusclecar #mustangboss

Our latest encounter with it came from @lsdesignsrl, the pixel artist calls this CGI-infused car the Alfa Romeo 6C, as a nod to the original that saw the light of day from 1927 to 1954. On the visual side, this rendered Alfa Romeo 6C definitely looks like an Alfa, but also looks like a baby Ferrari, and that is a win in our book. It features a curvaceous body style, a low-slung profile, typical Alfa Romeo wheels, and it definitely deserves its fifteen minutes of online fame, and then some. #alfaromeo #6c #alfaromeo6c #rendering #conceptcar #6cconcept #alfaromeoconceptcar #designlanguage

In 1968, Dodge tackled the NASCAR series with the then-new Charger R/T. The muscle was unable to beat its Ford rivals on the high-bank oval tracks, so Dodge developed the more aerodynamic Charger 500. The latter wasn't quick enough either, so the company developed the more radical Charger Daytona. Dodge sent 503 units to US showrooms, most of them equipped with the standard engine. Specifically, 433 examples got the 440 V8, while the remaining 70 were equipped with the 426 Hemi. The four-speed manual Hemi is the rarest of the bunch, as only 22 were fitted with this drivetrain combo. This black winged warrior is one of those cars. #dodge #charger #chargerdaytona #charger500 #mopar #hemi #v8
