Eye Candy: Lamborghini Gallardo re-imagined


Just to finish off today's posts, I found this amazing Lambo Gallardo-based design. Not sure about the front, but the profile looks smoother and more elegant (more like the Murcielago, actually), but it's the end that's the real killer - it looks really mean!

New Cars: KTM X-Bow







When I saw the conceptual drawings I thought to myself "there is no way they can make the real-life car look this good". And you know what? It not only matches the looks of that drawing, but actually manages to look better! Somehow, in real life, the criss-cross of the carbonfibre structure, combined with the electric orange of the edgy, disjoint "body panels" and "wide n' low" stance makes this car look fabulously outlandish! While I'm not a big fan of the big rump, I have no doubt this bastard offspring of the F-22 Raptor and F1 car is a future classic, whether it lives up to the hype dynamically or not.

Eye Candy: Uma and the Gallardo



These shots are from a short movie Pirelli is making in collaboration with Lamborghini. Looks potentially very interesting, like the BMW movies with Clive Owen, only targeted at the male audience.

Concept Cars: And the winner of the Peugeot Design Competition is...

...the Flux!

I have followed the Peugeot Design Competition for a while (even entered it twice, to no avail of course), and rarely do they present something this stunning. Somehow, this car manages to evoke cars from the 30s, like the Bugatti 57. The proportions are perfect (at least in this view), with a short front overhang and longer rear, but the coup-de-grace must be the fenders, or rather the horizontal deck which acts as such.

Trully stunning, congratulations to the winner, Mihai Panaitescu from Romania!

Eye Candy: Holden EFIJY


I know this ain't new, but it's never too late to celebrate such an outrageously overdone retro design.

Eye Candy: Audi TT S-line


We’ve seen a lot of really ugly cars debut recently, and to compensate I decided to put up pictures of what I believe is a great looking car. The S-line bodywork bodes very well for the upcoming TT-S and TT-RS models.

Eye Candy: Kia Cee'd and a lady

While it does not bring anything new to the table, the Cee'd is IMO the best-looking car out of Korea, ever. Seeing how in 2nd and 3rd places lie the new Hyundai Santa-Fe and Sonata, the future looks bright for the Koreans. And already it's reflected in the sales figures.
