One of my preivous girlfriend was working in a Mazda salon in Hungary, as i remember from her words this type is quite reliable, but once it gets to service the repair and spare parts prices are higher then other same class brands, at least in Hungary.

Another Alpine design

As you probably known, Renault plans on reviving the legendary Alpine sports car and that’s really great.
And, of course, everyone is curious how this car will look like.
After two Brazilian designers came up with this idea, now we’ve got another one.

If the first design was somehow realistic, this one, created by Russian artist Arseny Kostromin during an internship at Renault, is far more futuristic.
And, if you ask us, we see a little to much Audi R8 influence but the concept still looks awesome.
Of course, we know that the more futuristic a concept is, the less chances we have to see it one day on the streets.
But that’s not a problem, cause we don’t mind dreaming from time to time.

Yeah Attila, that's the problem that we have with European cars in Aus. The Japanese cars however don't generally pose as much of an issue...

Got the car on a hoist after a test drive yesterday... The rear brake were leaking brake fluid, front ball joint covers were split and there was a bit of oil around. Told the dealer to clean it all up, make it roadworthy and give me a call.

Drove the road to my new job today and decided that something RWD and sporty is what is 'needed'. Even my wife agrees!

 

[Wido Rossen]

Oh come on, You can't tell me that car doesn't look good! but u are entitled to your opinion of course. I think it is perfect - a little quicker would be nice but it's a diesel. Efficeint and fun with those performance specs.

That car looks great.
This would be a great car for entering into the WTCC...

 

[Ukrajinka]

Here, on work I can not watch this:rant:

But I assume this is something about burned car. And smoking is really bad thank it kills us and cars as well. So I think the question should be not just not to smoke in the car but do not smoke at all But this is another throad topic)))))

 

[Wido Rossen]

Do you still take the tech art over the gemballa? ?

I saw these two rip up the track at the green hell.

They where chasing like hell with 10 meters between them at top speed.

Unbelievable....

 

[Maik Peters]

mmmzzz thats crap... but his insures was good i heard so no problemo.. next week he does have a new one.

 

[William Yunck]

Ouch! I wonder if he is still smoking after that.

 

[William Yunck]

Nice photos Wido, I will take the black one please. So far Gambella is winning 2 to 1 over Tech Art.

 

[Kevin Ascher]

Has something from the R8 for me ....

 

[William Yunck]

It is R8ish, but it looks cool and i like the blue - would be better with black wheels.

 

[Grant Daly]

I know I heard the bit about insurance also...
But still it's sad to see a nice new car (Road Missile) Just have it's engine Blowup and bur on the side of the road. I also heard on the tape that nobody was hurt so that's good too! Glad you all liked it anyways..

[Grant Daly]

R8? Hmm Mor like a Speed Racer Car?

I don't know why? maybe it's this...

is why it reminded me of Go Speed Go!

That's not to say I don't like it I kinda think it also has a strong link to it heritage. with those lines and the air intakes over the rear wheels?

It's not bad at all, I'd drive it!

What an Amazing world we live in! II

I did post a thread for this at RSC, and as a Noob I thought that RD was part of RSC, anyway I really still think that this is just aweinspiring and quite a thing of Beauty...

It's BMW's new Technology that would appear to be comming to the near future, as I already have seen BMW's that have this style shape...

OK Here's the Vid...

Loool.. You have to be careful not to lose them through the grille. ound:

 

[Cristian Haba]

The stance is very R8 with the cabin pretty much overhanging the bonnet, but if you look at the old Alpine it had the very same stance, which was way before the R8 .

 

[Cristian Haba]

Easily the Gemballa Mirage GT, it makes the original look way more
agressive.
