1968 - 1969 Ford GT40 Mk Specifications and Pictures


The Ford GT40 is a legend that doesn't need any introduction. It is the car that beat Ferrari during the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans, finishing at the first three places. It is undoubtedly one of the most famous race cars, and for many enthusiasts, if it remained only one, that would be her.

After launching the Cobra 427 continuation, Shelby has supervised the production of the Ford GT40 Continuation that are built by the renowned firm Superformance. Like the Cobra continuation the GT40 Continuation are not simple replicas, but continuation models that are built in conformity with the original car. Moreover, 85% of the parts are interchangeable with the original. The continuations are also the only ones to carry a VIN GT40/Pxxxx following the original numbers. Last but not least, they are listed in the Shelby registry.

Of course, the dimensions of the GT40 continuation are strictly identical to the original. They are built on the same monocoque chassis, have the same suspensions, the same interior, an adjustable pedal box, Smith gauges, an exhaust header like the original, Hallibrand wheels, ... The only modern touch consist in an efficient air conditioning system hidden in the car, and ultra lightweight Wilwood brakes.

The car we offer is like new car, and has only been driven a few hundred setup miles. The car is a MK1 with a Roush 427 IR engine, with the 8 stack injection system, that is rated at 560 HP. The gearbox is a ZF/RBT 5 speed. With this engine, this GT40 continuation is even faster than the original GT40 than won Le Mans in 1966, with a max speed over 207 mph, and a 0 to 60 in just 3.6 seconds.

There is no other model closest to the original than this GT40 continuation. This superb GT40 is immediately available in France with its French registration.
We also have other new GT40 continuation available through our Shelby partner. Please get in touch with us for colors, and engines available.

It seems to me that this post will find its fans among those who can’t figure their lifes without the mobility that give us cars. For those who have ever wished to obtain a certain freedom the car turns up to be the right way to it. It gives you the desired scope of capabilities when you are free to rush at each moment from one place and to be in several miles from it just in a few minutes. This freedom begins when you start off zero to sixty in three point five (petrol-heads will understand the hit of the moment), goes on when the sceneries are floating before eyes and reaches its peak when your heart starts beating in unison with the engine. When it happens, the minutes run into one fascinating moment and you forget about everything immediately, except the car, the high speed and adrenalin that heats the blood in your veins. But now, relax, make oneself comfortable in the capacious armchair, enjoy this fascinating collection of 3D cars and dream on about the high way, cool car and unbelievable freedom.

Alfred, to the Bat...Limo: Bruce Wayne's Alternative Ride



We never knew that the Batmobile also came in limousine form - obviously neither does Batman or the creators of the fictional character but that's beside the point. The limo is inspired from the Batmobile that was featured in the 1989 and 1992 Batman films directed by Tim Burton. You can see more pictures of the BatLimo as well as a video that we discovered on Youtube after the jump.

Spare $15,000? Officially Licensed 1965 Ford Mustang Pool Table



Men love cars. Men like playing pool. It's easy to draw a simple conclusion: men would most likely love playing pool on a car. And that's how we imagine that the idea of creating a Mustang pool table was born. Made with a solid fiberglass body molded from a 1965 Mustang that can be ordered in various colors, the pool table comes complete with alloy rims and wheels.

And while the builder shortened the length of the car shell to fit the table, both the front and rear ends are the same size as the original 'Stang and feature working lights, chrome decals and bumpers.

The maker of the '65 Mustang pool table, 'Mustang Entertainment Inc.' plans to debut its newest product at next month's Barret-Jackson Auto Auction (Jan. 18, 2010 - Jan. 24, 2010).


The problem with the 1965 Mustang pool table, which by the way, is an official licensed product, is its price that will set you back a hefty $14,995. If you're still interested, the pool table can be ordered either online or over the phone by calling 727.827.8268.



Peugeot Reveals New Lion Emblem - Evolution of the Logo from 1847 to Today




Jean-Pierre and Jean-Frédéric Peugeot turned their father's cereal mill into a steel foundry and eventually, to a motorcycle and automobile manufacturer. In celebration of the firm's 200th anniversary, Peugeot has announced a new look for its cars - previewed through the SR1 Concept that will be revealed at the Geneva Show - and a new interpretation of its Lion emblem.

The updated Lion, which is now three-dimensional and looks more dynamic and supple, will make its vehicle debut on the new Peugeot RCZ sports coupe launched in the Spring. If you hit the jump, you can read about the birth and the evolution of the Lion emblem from 1847 to today.


From Peugeot Press Release:


The origin of the Lion


The Lion emblem was first conceived in 1847 when Jules and Emile PEUGEOT, who founded the company Peugeot Frères, asked Julien BLAZER, a jeweller and engraver, to produce a logo for identifying all PEUGEOT products.


The chosen design was a Lion, as the characteristics of the Lion were very similar to those of the saws the Peugeot brothers were producing:


Strong teeth like those of the Lion.


Suppleness of the blade like the Lion's spine.


Swiftness of cut like the Lion pouncing on its prey.


The Lion quickly became Peugeot's sole registered trade mark, and could be found not only on tools and saw blades, but also on coffee grinders by 1881 (the production of which began in 1840), on bicycles from 1882 and, from 1898, on motorcycles.


The Lion becomes a part of automotive history


Although the first Peugeot production car the Type 3, built by Armand PEUGEOT dates from 1891, it was only in 1906 that the emblem first appeared on a production car.


In 1910, the two entities (PEUGEOT Frères and Armand PEUGEOT) merged to become La Sté des automobiles et cycles PEUGEOT; the two product ranges, however, co-existed until the First World War.


The last car to display the "Lion walking on an arrow" was the Bébé Lion (designed by Ettore Bugatti), presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1912.


Subsequent models, however, used old-style lettering, on the top of the radiator grille contained inside a double "ellipse", and in some instances with lettering also on the radiator, either on its own or in a coat of arms (from the 201).


In the 1920s the Lion became a rallying call for "Peugeotistes" who used it as a decoration on their radiator caps. Two types of radiator Lions were distributed in the network, a roaring version by the sculptor Marx and one ready to pounce by Baudichon.


For its part, Peugeot bicycles and motorcycles first used the Lion "walking on an arrow" emblem against the background of a spoked wheel; later a fighting Lion facing to the right was introduced in the 1920s and, finally, the same design but with upright lettering in 1960. Tools and domestic appliances opted for the Lion "walking on an arrow" in a coat of arms or on an oval plaque for coffee grinders.


From October 1933, with the launch of the "aerodynamic" range of Peugeot vehicles 201, 301 and 601, a Lion's head re-appeared on the top of the radiator grille.


This design also appeared on the 401, first seen at the 1934 Paris Motor Show and with a tapered head design on the 402 (1935) then the 302 (1936) and the 202 in 1938.


In 1948, the 203 adopted as its figurehead a Lion on the bonnet in a more prominent style. With the launch of the 403 in 1955 another new Lion appeared on the bonnet, however, these two designs were deemed too dangerous in the event of a collision and soon disappeared in September 1958.


The launch of the 203 also marked the first appearance of the heraldic Lion of Franche-Comté and the Duchy of Montbéliard.


It was attached to the boot lid until October 1952 and then migrated to the front of the bonnet from September 1958 until the end of the series in February 1960. During this period the heraldic Lion also appeared on PEUGEOT motorcycles.


The same design of the Lion was also placed in a small coat of arms in the centre of the radiator grille on the 403 range from April 1955 to 1966 before being replaced by a larger version, which first appeared on the Pininfarina styled 404, in May 1960.


It was then replaced by a Lion (gilt or chrome-plated) leaping from its background, which first appeared in September 1968 on the 504, then was adopted by the 404, 204, 304 and 104.


Another generation, the Lion "in outline" appeared on the 604 marketed in September 1975, and then extended to the 305 (November 1977) and 505 (May 1979) before being presented on a black background in 1982 on the 205, through to the 306 in 1993.


At its launch in October 1995, the 406 stood out with its large Lion emblem which rapidly migrated across the entire "six" generation models. This led in 1998 to a new look Lion, with a stylised, angular appearance that decorated the front and rear of both Peugeot cars and scooters.


Now in 2010, the Peugeot Lion, which has been associated with the brand for the last 152 years, has evolved again with a new more dynamic look. Combining a new bi-metallic finish it is now simpler in design, with a new posture and fluidity. The first production vehicle to display this new Lion will be the Peugeot RCZ which will be launched in April.
