ForgottenONES Indeed, there are still many sports cars that have been made in the past that we have never known. So, here is one of them called the Vixen GT, a British-made sports car that can be said to be one that has been forgotten by the times, and we are sure that some of you have never heard or known it before.
The Vixen GT was one-of-a-kind sports car made by Ian Stronach, a former British racer who was also a gifted engineer back in the 1960s. (Picture from: Otomotif-OkeZone)
The Vixen GT was one-of-a-kind sports car made by a former British racer who was also a gifted engineer back in the 1960s, it had raced several times at several race events before finally being abandoned which was finally found by a car collector and restored to back like new. Well, this sports car was built by Ian Stronach, a former racing driver from Manchester, England.
The Vixen GT was built on a tubular steel frame with the front part of the car taken from the Cooper-Jaguar MkII car. (Picture from: Otomotif-OkeZone)
Ian Stronach.
He raced in England during the 1960s to 1970s, participating in various formula races, starting from Formula 2, Formula Libre, and Formula 5000. During his racing activities, he began to think about making his own racing car. In order to realize his wish, then Stronach started his car project in 1962 which began by building a tubular steel frame with the front part of the car taken from the Cooper-Jaguar MkII car. Due to everything was done by himself, this sports car project was only completed two years later, in 1964.

At the time, Ian Stronach planned to build three cars, even he was built the tubular chassis for the other two cars, but never got around to actually building them. As seen, the Vixen GT sports car carried various innovative designs at the time. Starting from the configuration of the engine which is placed at the rear of the car, right in front of the front axle, making it the first car in its class with an engine configuration like this.
Originally, the Vixen GT powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine of Ford Kent that produced 157 ponies. (Picture from: Drive-My.com)
In addition, the Vixen GT comes with a rear spoiler design that blends with the body, making it the first sports car was implemented such design at that time. While for the drivetrain, initially Stronach wanted to use a 3.5-liter V8 engine of GM, but in the end he used a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine of Ford Kent that produced 157 ponies.
Meanwhile, in the cabin the potentially knee-crushing crossmember under the dashboard has been replaced with a safer, higher-mounted reinforcement. (Picture from: Drive-My.com)
After that the Vigen GT sports car was used to race across Europe and also experienced many owner changes, until it was finally bought by a French racer named Lionel Laglave in 1980. And in 2012, while a Belgium car enthutiast named Didier van der Linden looking for a car to restore, then he found this sports car was on the sale list of a classic car site.
After restoration, the Vixen GT powered by a a 3.5 liter V8 engine from Buick which is capable of producing 280 hp @ 6,500 rpm and torque of 385 Nm @ 3,800 rpm. (Picture from: Drive-My.com)
From this it is known that this car has been sitting in vain for decades in a farmyard in Strasbourg, France. When it was first found, the condition of the car was very poor with a body full of rust and even the paint was missing, so did its engine, plus the interior was gloomy filled with dust.

Shortly after that Didier van der Linden bought the car, and restored this sports car with help from Ian Stronach who is now 81 years old. Even though he is old, his memory is still very strong. By using references from design sketches, old photos of the car, and suggestions from Stronach, after three and half years of hard works, finally Didier managed to restore the Vigen GT came back like its hey day in the 1960s.
Nowadays, the Vixen GT has returned to racing track with a new body design and a 3.5 liter V8 engine from Buick which is capable of producing 280 hp @ 6,500 rpm and torque of 385 Nm @ 3,800 rpm. By combining with a 5-speed manual transmission system taken from the Renault Alpine, this sports car often seen races in circuit of Mettet, Belgium. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DIDIER VAN DER LINDEN | DRIVE-MY.COM | ]
UniqueONES - The Italian premium car manufacturer based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. in the mid-1980s was known that he was preparing a replacement for the legendary Lamborghini Countach. For the such purpose, the Italian premium automaker contacted the famous designer Marcello Gandini, who is known also the designer of another famous models of raging bulls such as the Lamborghini Miura and Countach.

As is well known, the development of this car project began in 1985, while the Italian premium automaker company was in dire financial straits, but the Gandini's design project was set. Then in 1987, Automobili Lamborghini was acquired by the American auto giant Chrysler, left much development works should be done regarding the P132 project, especially its funding matters.

And after the company's 25th anniversary in 1988, the Diablo(thus the car's name later) was supposed to be ready, it turned out that the design and testing process took longer than expected, and the result, the Countach was redesigned to make it more up to date and remained in production at that time.
The Lamborghini P132 Diablo (in pictured is the 2nd prototype) were lost sharp corners and edges, but retained a typical wedge-shaped profile if compared to the original Gandini's design. (Picture from: CarrozzieriItaliani)
As quoted from LamboCars, the initial prototype that was built from the development results of Marcello Gandini's design was known later as the Lamborghini P132 Diablo Prototipo, and the nameis derived from the legend of the fierce bull El Diablo, protagonist in an epic bullfight and killed by the Duke of Veragua in 1869.
The Lamborghini P132 Diablo P1 (first prototype) was rest in peace somewhere in the corner of the bull cage after thousands of kilometers running. (Picture from: LamboCars)
It has very futuristic and aggressive looking which also said look like the Countach back in the 1970s, it's just that the engine cover is given a touch of glass. Unfortunately, in the early testing phase, this such arrangement did not provide optimal engine cooling, so the idea was abandoned.
One of early prototypes, known as the Lamborghini P132 Diablo P1 (first prototype) exhibited in the brand's museum. (Picture from: Motor.es)
At the time Lamborghini had been acquired by Chrysler, so that the refinement of this P132 car's design has become more complicated, because it had to involve Chrysler's designer. Seeing the fact, Marcello Gandini was dissatisfied and withdrew from the P132 project, so then management decided to hand over the design work to Tom Gale of the Chrysler Styling Center to revise the original concept completely.
When Chrysler decided to acquire Lamborghini in the 1987, development of the Lamborghini Diablo (in pictured is the 1st prototype) was already underway, but the new owners did not like the look of the 12-cylinder sports car. (Picture from: Motor.es)
As the result, many design revisions were made which were then poured into several earlier prototypes of Lambo P132P1, P2 and P3 which looks like a half designed by Gandini and Chrysler. So Diablo lost sharp corners and edges, but retained a recognizable wedge-shaped profile.

Apparently the such hybrid design that was applied to this car still failed to satisfy Chrysler officials, so the design was altered again, this time to something much closer to the Diablo that we've known today.
Could be said this was the Lamborghini Diablo-Cizeta Moroder prototype built based on the original Marcello Gandini's design. (Picture from: LamboCars)
Regarding to the whereabouts of the prototypes that apply hybrid design such as the dark gray P1 prototype known as the real P132 Diablo which is filled with various measuring equipments to then be used as a running test mule at the Nardi Circuit. And today, it has been retired after thousands of kilometers running and now sat on display at the Lamborghini's museum.

Then the orange P2 prototype is known to be still located somewhere in the corner at the factory today. Under the same fate like two other siblings, the bright blue colored P3 prototype that built later to be used as a crash test mule, was also rest in peace somewhere in the bull cage. In opposite, the P132 prototype which was built based on Gandini's original design was unknown its whereabouts. 😢
In the end Marcello Gandini brough and offered his original P132 design to Claudio Zampolli of Cizeta Automobili. No need to wait for long, the design then implemented to the Cizeta V16T. This iconic supercar of the 1990s was the result of a collaboration between ex-Lamborghini engineer Claudio Zampolli and music producer Giorgio Moroder which is officially launched back in 1991. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LAMBOCARS | MOTOR.ES | CARROZZIERIITLIANI | AUTA5P.EU | DRIVE2.RU | AUTO-RETRO-PASSION.RO | SPEEDHOLICS ]
ForgottenONES - Brazil is a country located at the southern tip of the American continent, which sometimes escapes the attention of world automotive enthusiasts as one of major players in the world's automotive because this country has many automotive manufacturers. Like before some of them have discussed by us. So, on this occasion, we will discuss another Brazilian-made sports car that was produced in the late 1960s to early 1970s, whose its shape really caught our attention.
The Lorena GT which was first launched in Brazil in 1968, is also touted as one of the pioneers in the production of extraordinary vehicles based on the Volkswagen platform. (Picture from: HistoriaSobrerodas)
The mentioned car above is a classic sports coupé named Lorena GT which was first launched in Brazil in 1968. Despite being produced in a relatively short time, this sports car is one of the pioneers in the production of extraordinary vehicles based on the Volkswagen platform. No wonder if then those sports coupés were widely used in races in Brazil at that time.

It was also stated that this Lorena GT, known as a Brazilian-made sports coupé that was originally produced as direct derivative of the Ferrer GT sports car of an American company Ferrer Motors Corporation which was built on the Volkswagen Fusca 1300 platform, and powered by an the Volkswagen 1600 engine.
The Lorena GT was built on the Volkswagen Fusca 1300 platform, and powered by an the Volkswagen 1600 engine by Lorena Importação Indústria e Comércio Ltda. during 1969 to 1971. (Picture from: ClassicCarCatalogue)
This Brazilian-made sports coupé debuted for the first time at the VI Salão do Automóvel, São Paulo, in November 1968, and its mass production officially started in 1969 by Léon Larenas Izquierdo owned company named Lorena Importação Indústria e Comércio Ltda. under license of the Ferrer Motor Corporation.

At that time the Lorena GT was sold as a complete sports car or kit, which also could optionally receive magnesium wheels, wide splints and a turnkey engine of 1,500 or 1,600 cc, coupled with two carburetors. While the body is made composite materials of plastic reinforced with fiberglass, and has a very low posture of only 1.05 m, which at first glance reminds us of two legendary cars such as; Ford GT40 and Porsche 910.

The car has two seats, doors that go through the roof and rectangular headlights (taken from the VW 1600) protected by an acrylic fairing. However, the car got poor finishing and precarious ergonomics, and production ended in early 1971. It is estimated that around 100 units were produced, which 22 units were completed by the factory, and several bodies were assembled independently.
Because the Lorena GT were produced on a practically small scale hand-made, as the result it varied a lot in detail from one vehicle to another, making it difficult to find two really identical cars. (Picture from: Carros raros e exóticos no Brasil)
One of early version of these sports cars was acquired by a Brazilian famous racing driver Sidney Cardoso of Arte e Instrução Team, and competed on several racing events at the time, the mentioned car received disc brakes on all four wheels and was powered by a two-liter powerdrive, and four speeds manual gearbox taken from Porsche.

Meanwhile several other cars were also used in competition, and several cars survived, most with various modifications. Because the cars were produced on a practically small scale hand-made, as the result it varied a lot in detail from one vehicle to another, making it difficult to find two really identical cars.

Between 1977 and 1981 the Lorena GT model was taken over by other manufacturers, and was produced and marketed under the Mirage GT name, one of which was later built into a convertible by Hélio Herbert. Furthermore, the new awakenen era of the Lorena GT was touted happen in 2008 when a former racer named Luiz Fernando Lapagesse took over one of the original designs of the Lorena GT, left only the headlights and taillights not following the older model.
The Lorena GT is a truly sporty Brazilian-made car with a look inspired by the Ford GT 40 and Porsche 910, which is built only 22 units. (Picture from: HistoriaSobrerodas)
In short, this Lorena GT model once again get into the production lines by Lapagesse's Car Chassis e Carrocerias Especiais based on a new mold built on the original Mirage GT body that had never been assembled, and named the Lorena GT-L, and was launched in June 2010. So, in the following video, you can see the figure of Lorena GT's American ancestor, the Ferrer GT. Both were similar right?
At the time, it was sold as a kit or as a ready-to-use unit mounted on the updated VW platform. Until October 2015, of the 9 bodies produced, sadly only 3 were sold. It is not known whether this brand is still being produced at this time or has gone out of business? Does anyone know? If so, don't hesitate to share with us through the comments section below.😎*** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LORENA GT | LEXICARBRASIL | CLASSICCARCATALOGUE | CARROS RAROS E EXOTICOS NO BRASIL ]

UniqueONES Actually, the name Maserati already has been famous for a long time because of the row of exotic cars it made. Indeed, not all production models are known to the public, and there are several models that were not widely known to the public before.
The Maserati Barchetta was one of the last Maserati models built under Alesandro de Tomaso ownership. (Picture from: Supercars.net)
Just like when we came across this following Maserati model while surfing on the internet, we felt that we had never known before that this Italian brand had made one. So this made us curious to find out more about this model.
The Maserati Barchetta's body was made from composite and carbon fiber, which had built on a single backbone chassis made from aluminium. (Picture from: UltimateSpecs)
Well, one of the cars in question is the Maserati Barchetta which is a bit out of the ordinary on Maserati's list of road cars because it was never really intended for road use. As quoted from Supercars.net, this roofless sports car creation occurred during the transition to Maserati ownership in early of the 1990s, in which Fiat's board worked closely with Alejandro De Tomaso (Fiat took over full management of Maserati in 1993).
The Maserati Barchetta is a roodless mid-engine racing car, that was designed by Carlo Gaino of the Synthesis Design, an Italian design house. (Picture from: CarThrottle)
As quoted from Wikipedia, the Maserati Barchetta is a mid-engine racing car, like the 350 and 450S, that was designed by Carlo Gaino of the Synthesis Design, an Italian design house. This car was developed for the one-make racing series Grantrofeo Barchetta championships which were held at various race tracks throughout Italy and Europe during 1992 and 1993. It consisted sixteen race rounds in total, most of them in Italy.

The Maserati Barchetta's body was made from composite and carbon fiber, which had built on a single backbone chassis made from aluminium. At the time, it was a new technology that had been developed previously for the Chubasco-prototype as well.
The Maserati Barchetta is powered by an mid-mounted 24-valve 2.0L Maserati AM501 V6 engine, which capable spewed power up to 315 hp. (Picture from: CarThrottle)
As we've mentioned above, the car is developed for racing purpose, so no wonder if it powered by such powerful drivetrain, which is an mid-mounted 24-valve 2.0L Maserati AM501 V6, which capable spewed power up to 315 hp. In addition, the car with a total weight of only 775 kg, and F1-styled wheel geometry is claimed to have an outstanding performance as well.

At the time, Maserati told everyone that mass production of the Barchetta would come out in 1992, and sold it with the prices of 148 million Italian lire or approximately 77,000 euros. Although at the end, there were only 17 customers who expressed a desire to pay the amount Maserati was asking. So during that periods, this Italian manufacturer only produced 16 units of the Maserati Barchetta, and only one Stradale (road) version.
Well, after only surviving to race in the Grantrofeo Barchetta event for 2 racing seasons before the race ended, that was not the end of the car's history. It turns out that the platform lived on to underpin the De Tomaso Guarà, produced the year after Alesandro DeTomaso's plans to leave the brand. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SUPERCARS.NET | CARTHROTTLE | WIKIPEDIA | ULTIMATESPECS ]
Joyfull GREEN In the last few decades have seen the development of electric vehicles very rapidly. Automotive manufacturers are competing to develop their flagship electric vehicles. This was also done by one of the Japanese automotive manufacturers, Nissan Motor Corporation.

The Japanese auto company continues to develop its line-up of electrified vehicles, and recently they introduced one of their unique concepts called the Nissan Max-Out, which is a two-seater cabriolet-styled electric vehicle.
The Nissan Max-Out Concept electric vehicle was introduced at the Nissan Futures event, after previously it was introduced in digital format back in 2021. (Picture from: Piston.my)
As quoted from Arena EV, the Nissan Max-Out Concept electric vehicle was introduced by Nissan at the Nissan Futures event which took place at its headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. You need to know, previously this futuristic car concept was introduced in digital format in 2021.
The Nissan Max-Out Concept electric vehicle featured with an illuminated steering wheel and accompanied by a floating dashboard. (Picture from: ArenaEV)
The Nissan Max-Out Concept takes on a futuristic-looking aesthetic in typical Cyberpunk style, and looks like something straight out of Hollywood's sci-fi movie-titled Tron. As you can see, its wheels have LEDs with different light patterns, and an illuminated steering wheel and accompanied by a floating dashboard.

However, it seems that this Nissan Max-Out is part of the company's suite of concepts that includes the Chill-Out (small crossover), Surf-Out (one-cab pickup) and Hang-Out (all-wheel drive hatchback). Apart from that, this also strengthens the direction of the Japanese manufacturer in producing electric-powered vehicles.
This is reflected in what was done by Nissan in America recently by investing US$ 250 million in Decherd, an American powertrain plant in Tennesse. So it can be ascertained that the disbursement of funds done to support its electrification product line. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NISSAN | ARENA EV | DRIVINGELECTRIC | PISTON.MY ]
RareONES If you think that the most expensive motorcycle in the world is a modern motorcycle with high-tech features, or a gold-plated unit, then you are wrong. It turns out that this is the 1908 Harley-Davidson Model 4 'Strap Tank' which is touted as the world's most expensive rare motorbike today. The classic iron horse sold for $850,000 or the equivalent of Rp.13 billion at an auction event organized by Mecum Auctions in Las Vegas back in January 2023.

This is a legendary unit that included the first generation of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. And of the 450 produced in 1908 by the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer, it is estimated that fewer than a dozen remain today. Moreover of course, the number of units that are in good condition as auctioned is even more less. Besides that, this rare motorbike also has an interesting pedigree, making it one of the best of its kind available today. It is thought this is the earliest model ever found so far, as the prototype is long gone.

The story of this motorcycle model began in 1901 when William S. Harley, who was then 20 years old, together with his best friend Arthur Davidson built a 116 cc single-cylinder engine in Milwaukee.And it took two years to build the first engine which was then mounted on a bicycle chassis.Then they enlarged the engine to 405 cc after getting advice from legendary marine engineer Ole Evinrude.

These second project of them was completed in September 1904 and had used to race at the Milwaukee State Fair Park. At the time, their iron horse was ridden by Edward Hildebrand and was able to finish in fourth place. In the following year, Harley-Davidson comenced production in a small wooden shed with only five engines were built at the time. These first production engines were enlarged to 440 cc, and could only produce about 4 hp, which was a pretty good burst of power in that day.

Entering 1906, the company built a new factory in Chestnut Street, which later renamed to Juneau Avenue and is still Harley-Davidson's headquarters to this day. From there about 50 motorbikes were built from the single-story building. Its first model was known as the Harley-Davidson Strap Tank because the nickel-plated steel bands suspending the fuel and oil tanks from the frame.

One year later the factory could build around 150 machines. And in 1908 production jumped to 450 machines. Although Harley-Davidson wasn't the biggest manufacturer in the time, the Strap Tank has earned a good reputation for toughness. These earliest models of the Harley-Davidson Strap Tank is the most coveted unit of all Milwaukee machinery. They have a pattern that still persists today, by combining a clean but conservative style, a somber color scheme, and a slightly heftier engine than the others.

Furthermore, this 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank motorcycle has been restored in detail with the help of Paul Freehill of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Amazingly, the tank, wheels, engine belt pulley, seat cover, exhaust sleeve are all pristine, and even its engine number #2241 and carburetor #1049 are still printed and clearly visible. Then it finished under a gray color touch plus a red accent line.

When the hammer dropped at the auction event, this 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank sold at a bid price of $850,000. But its new owner had to spend about $935,000 after the bid-price added by auction fees and other taxes.
Actually, this is not the first Strap Tank ever sold by Mecum Auctions in Las Vegas. Previously the auction company had sold the 1907 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank for $297,000 or Rp.4.5 billion. But the newly released of 1908 unit has a well-documented history, coupled with the motorcycle unit still had 115 years olds original parts. So it's undoubtly, this 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank is a truly exceptional machine.
