James Glickenhaus Buys Ferrari Modulo Concept

James Glickenhaus has recently purchased the Ferrari 512S Modulo concept developed by Pininfarina. Many consider the 1980 four-door Ferrari Pinin concept as being the most special car to wear the prancing horse logo but in reality it's probably a concept that came out a decade before. It was 1970 when the 512S Modulo was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, a 512S chassis and drivetrain wrapped around in a wedge-shaped body created by Pininfarina. The one-off concept has now joined an already impressive collection owned by James Glickenhaus who also has numerous other precious automobiles, with the most popular ones being the P4/5 and P4/5 Competizione. He managed to convince Pininfarina to sell the Modulo concept at a yet undisclosed price tag and just like he did with the Dino Competizione, the 512S Modulo concept will actually go through some modifications in Europe to become roadworthy as Jim is known to drive all of his cars. The 900 kg concept is 4480mm long, 2040mm wide and 935mm tall while the wheelbase stands at 2405mm. Power comes from a V12 5.0-liter engine generating 550 bhp (410 kW) working together with a five-speed manual gearbox. (worldcarfans)

Mini Superleggera Vision Concept Announced For Paris

Originally shown at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2014, the brand new MINI Superleggera Vision Concept is getting ready to gain a lot of attention as the company will be bringing it to the 2014th edition of the Paris Motor Show. The model in question is actually seen as a future rival for models such as the Mazda MX-5. The one-off vehicle has an appealing exterior design which is combining the traditional MINI elements along with lines which are taking it one step further into the future. “In this car all unnecessary equipment or decoration is sacrificed, as performance is gained through lightness and efficiency of the bodywork and interior. The Italian touch is in the proportions and the typical waistline”, said the head of design from Touring Superleggera, Louis de Fabribeckers. Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera and MINI have joined forces in order to create this appealing one-off vehicle and this will not be the only time when we will get to see it as rumors are stating that it will give birth to a production model in the future. More details on the MINI Superleggera Vision Concept will probably be announced this week, during the 2014 Paris Motor Show. (inautonews)

Take A Spin In A Street-Legal Lancia Group B Rally Car

Approximately just 200 examples of the road-going Lancia 037 Group B rally car were ever created. The crew at Petrolicious recently met Philip Toledano who owns a bright red Lancia 037. Powering the car is a 2.0-litre supercharged Abarth engine designed to produce around 240 hp thanks to its new exhaust system.

Kormaran Concept Luxury Convertible Boat

While conventional boats cannot change their driving characteristics, the Kormaran can transform even while driving. The Kormaran elegantly combines the agility of monohull for quick manoeuvres, with the stability of a catamaran or trimaran. In addition, the Kormaran can gracefully transform into large bathing platform. The use of hydrofoils expands the vision of Kormaran. The advantages are obvious – higher speed with lower energy consumption and a much more comfortable ride, thanks to the decoupling of the waves. Carbon fiber with automotive standards and integrated Formula 1 technology, coupled with lightweight aircraft technology and the latest security features, make the Kormaran a high-tech watercraft with the highest requirements.

Meet Strati, The First 3D Printed Car In The World

Crowdsourcing carmaker Local Motors may be best known for the V8-powered, dune-conquering Rally Fighter, but for its next project, the company has ventured completely to the other end of the spectrum. Like the automotive firm projected in March, Local Motors is currently building a 3D-printed electric car at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. According to Top Gear, the electric car is called the Strati, and is full-sized, completely drivable, and is made up of just 40 parts. For comparison’s sake, the average car has something on the order of 30,000. This amazing feat of engineering was made possible by 3D-printing technology that takes just 44 hours to create the car. If everything goes well, Local Motors hopes to drive the Strati off the technology show’s floor. The automotive firm released a video recently detailing the vehicle’s assembly process.
