Its not the first time that a car maker collaborates with a fashion label ( Hermes / Chanel / Alfa Romeo ). This time its Citroen and Lacoste, who came up with this concept car, which was just unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. A cool concept but more for the beach side, not really for heavy rain or snowy weather.
Usually we do not review cars very much, but after the Chanel Fiole, its now time for Mercedes to remake my Dream Car : The 2009 Gullwing-America 300 SL Panamericana. If built, the 2009 300 SL Panamericana from Gullwing-America promises to update the original “with technology from 50 years later.” Wow, what a beauty, Hopefully they will really consider reproducing the mythic Gullwing…
After the beautiful 60′s cars review we made couple month ago, here is one we didn’t see – The 1969 Mercedes C111 – A pure beauty! The C111 was a project research by Mercedes to develop New Technologies. The C 111-II was introduced to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970, It was fitted with a four-rotor Wankel engine with an output of 350 hp and improved engine torque. It gave the car a top speed of 180mph and 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds. The C 111-II (see last picture) revised suspension configurations, allowing for wide tyres and the body work was made from plastic to reduce weight and improve aerodynamic efficiency. Unfortunately because of the 1973 oil crisis and the gas emission legislation any hope the car would be put into production was stopped. Sad because I would Love to add it to my collection !
Just Beautiful, the BMW M1 will hopefully not stay as a concept car and run the streets in a near future…
