Vote: Classic Face-Off – Really Stupidly Expensive Edition

Posted by  on 6 May 2013, 1:27 pm

Ferrari versus Aston Martin

Classic face-off is a feature where we show you a couple of similarly priced classic cars from the same era, and you vote for the one you find most appealing.

This is truly a Titan’s endeavor, as we are today pitting against each other two very rare and remarkably beautiful cars, that are well prepared to go under the auctioneer’s hammer and grab astonishing amounts of cash – if you ask us, somewhere north of the $2 million mark. So, this is not the usual vote about which one would best suit your garage, as the cars featured today are at the pinnacle of automotive style and of course, cost.

Vote: Classic Face-Off – VW Beetle based WTFs

Posted by  on 16 April 2013, 11:45 am

VW kit cars

Classic face-off is a feature where we show you a couple of similarly priced classic cars from the same era, and you vote for the one you find most appealing.

The humble and ubiquitous Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most commonly used donor vehicles for kitcar builders. In this round of Classic Face-Off you’ve got the choice of two Beetle-based vehicles. But despite their identical origins, they’ve ended up as two very different lumps of fiberglass and metal. The only thing they have in common is that almost every one who sees them says “wtf?”

Vote: Which Geveva-debuted supercar would you go for?

Posted by  on 7 March 2013, 7:08 pm

Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren

This year’s Geneva Motor Show has turned out to be a Mecca for supercar fans. Not only have three of the biggest names in the business revealed all-new supercars. Numerous lesser-known manufacturers showed up with their supercar offerings – both conceptual and production ready.

But for today’s little question I’ll keep it simple. Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren. To level the playing field a bit, imagine money is no object, and which ever car you choose comes with a lifetime of free servicing. If only!

Vote: Classic Face-Off – Immaculate 1990s Turbo Coupes

Posted by  on 18 February 2013, 6:27 pm

Nissan and Toyota

Classic face-off is a feature where we show you a couple of similarly priced classic cars from the same era, and you vote for the one you find most appealing.

Today the competition features a couple of early ’90s turbocharged coupes from the land of the rising sun. Both are in fantastic condition for their age, but have also racked up nearly a quarter of a million miles between them. When new, both of them offered impressive performance straight from the factory, and to be honest, even now they’re no slouches. But perhaps what is most surprising about these two cars is their unmolested condition. Usually by now these kinds of car are onto their 12th owner, and questionable modifications have been added while vital maintenance has been overlooked. Not so with these two turbocharged homages to early ’90s Japanese performance bargains!

Vote: Classic Face-Off – Expensive Troubles Ahead

Posted by  on 21 January 2013, 4:15 pm

BMW and Porsche

Classic face-off is a feature where we show you a couple of similarly priced classic cars from the same era, and you vote for the one you find most appealing.

This week the selection is a bit different from usual. Instead of showing you a couple of motors which should get you salivating. We have a couple of sports coupes who are ready to get you reaching for that wallet so often you’ll have an RSI before the engine is warm. One probably more so than the other. Both of them were rather tasty coupes back in their day, and for some buyers age has only heightened their appeal, it’s certainly made them significantly more attainable.  It’s important to remember that when new, these two autobahn legends could have set you back somewhere in the region of $150,000 combined. But today either of them can be picked up for a few thousand dollars. It’s no wonder broken AC and leaking fluids are now standard features. Sadly just because their overall price has been decimated, it doesn’t mean the parts are always cheap!

Vote: Classic Face-Off – Little Red Cars Edition

Posted by  on 1 January 2013, 8:09 pm

Karmann Ghia vs Sunbeam Alpine

Classic face-off is a feature where we show you a couple of similarly priced classic cars from the same era, and you vote for the one you find most appealing.

Today’s light-hearted competion features a couple of European cars, one German, and one British. Both are characterful little vehicles, and both display shiny red paintwork. But from there on out the two start to go their own separate ways. One is a hardtop, the other a drop top. One has the engine up front, the other has it tucked in the back. One looks almost concourse, the other has had some noticable modernisation.

Vote: Cayman or Boxster?

Posted by  on 29 November 2012, 1:46 pm

Porsche Cayman and Boxster

Now that both the Cayman and Boxster have been comprehensively made over, there is a question which may trouble many soon-to-be Porsche owners. Cayman or Boxster? While the two cars are incredibly alike in many ways, they are more than just the hardtop and convertible equivalents of each other. Each has a distinct character and appeal which draw in buyers for different reasons.

So, lets say the decision is yours. You have the choice between a brand-new equally specced Cayman or Boxster, which would you go for? And just to take money out of the equation whatever difference there is in price is handed to you in folding money.

2012 LA Auto Show Design Challenge Entrants – With Poll

Posted by  on 16 November 2012, 3:16 pm

LA Auto Show 2012 Design Challenge

The entrants for this year’s Design Challenge, hosted by the LA Auto Show have been announced. There’s six contenders in the competition from a variety of manufacturers – although Honda appears twice thanks to different entries from their Japanese and Californian studios. Just like the 2012 brief called for, each design team has come up with their vision of a Police patrol vehicle for the year 2025. The concepts are varied, but there is one theme running through throughout, and that’s one of drones and semi-autonomous vehicles. Clearly, if this competition is anything to go by, law enforcers of the future will be carrying out their duties from long-range. We may come to look back with fond memories to the days when tickets were only handed out by the occasional copper and the good ol’ speed camera.

There’s six concept’s to check out. The winners will be announced during the LA Auto Show which runs from 30th November to 9th December, 2012. All explanations of the concepts are in the words of the designers themselves. And just because this you haven’t been invited to judge the competition officially, doesn’t mean you can’t vote for your favorite entry here on diseno-art.

Vote: Classic Face-Off – British Bruisers

Posted by  on 10 November 2012, 7:38 pm

Jaguar XJS and Jensen-Interceptor

Classic face-off is a feature where we show you a couple of similarly priced classic cars from the same era, and you vote for the one you find most appealing.

Today we have a couple of large, heavy so-called “sports cars” which hail from the UK.  Neither is lacking in cylinders or displacement. But that’s about all they have in common. One is ready to go and appears to be in good condition. The other is going to require some (considerable) work. One is fairly common and won’t turn too many heads. The other is a bit of an oddity and should garner a few respectful nods from those in the know. One is red. The other one isn’t.

Vote: Classic Face-Off – 1970s Japanese Metal

Posted by  on 25 October 2012, 3:37 pm

Toyota Celica GT and Datsun 260Z

Classic face-off is a feature where we show you a couple of similarly priced classic cars from the same era, and you vote for the one you find most appealing.

This week features a couple of 1970s Japanese sports cars, decent motors in their heyday, and cult classics today. Neither of today’s contenders is quite ready to hit the streets due to some neglect over the years. However both of them don’t look like too much work, and their low price means there should be plenty left over in the piggy bank for the necessary repairs.
