Here is a "1970 Ford Lincoln Continental 460 7.0L" (Really a '72-'76 Lincoln Continental with a 460 7.5L) and it's apparently original... :lol: I thought maybe it was a special edition but I couldn't find anything on it.

Looks like pink was an option, at least on the '76.

Ok, I've calmed down a bit. It was only a CL500 that was murdered by a Lithuanian. I'm fine... I'm fine...
I'm not really fine
Neither am I. I will find the creator and I will kill him. (I am not Liam Neeson)
 
Again, varying degrees of questionable.

FD3S RX-7 modified by Scoot.

It's got two 2-rotor rotary engines bolted together, pumping out around 470bhp. That's brilliant, nothing questionable about that, but look how they did a complete transformation of its rear end.

And I kinda like it...


But I'm not into its butterfly doors:

The Merc-a-like rear-end really doesn't match up well with the front, though the rear corner shot is definitely the superior angle. Seeing an RX-7 front-end coupled with scissor doors always looks wrong to me, however.

And many will no doubt agree that it sounds better than it looks.

I want that RX-7 so bad! Partly so I can replace the doors but mainly for that video. :D
 
I suppose the idea isn't bad...but Rinspeed has a modified Tesla Model S called the XchangE. And the outside is far from the inside.

Ah Rinspeed, maker of the Bedouin...

...a confused 911 pickup.

The back folds out and everything.

LOOK AT THE JEWELS. AND THE GEARKNOBS ON THE WHEEL

It supposedly drives it self and has 20-way adjustable seats.
 
That 944 looks major derp. It reminds me of a Slowpoke. :lol:

what the hell did the S-Class do to deserve this?

Umm...nothing, I guess.

Other than...being a slave to smug owners who buy it just to impress and...err..."look smart".
Of course, that could be a false stereotype, and in no way does the S-Class itself deserve such treatment.

It's simply like a middle finger to those people who advocate the S-Class as a fashion tool and nothing more than that. Yet it's also an unpleasant sight for any of us regardless of our thoughts on the car.

EDIT: Wait, I don't think that's actually an S-Class! Pay attention to the contours, the lines surrounding the windows and so on. It's another sedan with W220 taillights, I think.

The Splash and the Scuba are cool. The Bedouin is just wrong.











Anyway, A WILD FIERO APPEARS

It's like I'm back on NFSU2! Actually that's making me want to play it again...
 
That one with the hood scoop was cool in Underground 2. It looked reasonably low key and gave a massive boost to the car's visual rating.
 
I'd happily forgotten these were a thing..


Just remind yourself that it can look great on certain cars, if done correctly: (of course, this isn't a modification though)

Not me. 2 was the better one.
