BMW Garmisch

BMW have brought to life a long-lost concept by Marcello Gandini, one of the grandmasters of car design. He was responsible for legendary cars like the Lamborghini Miura and Countach, or the Lancia Stratos. Presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970, the gorgeous Garmisch was never seen again, until now. The painstakingly created reproduction was built under the stewardship of BMW Group design head Adrian van Hooydonk, it features a clean side profile that is not unlike most other sedans of the period, a signature BMW kidney grille, squared headlamps, and a honeycomb-patterned mesh over the rear window, a trademark of Gandini´s style. The whole thing was covered with a light champagne metallic color and the interior evokes the bold styling of the era with details like a vertical radio on the center console and a large fold-out mirror for the passenger. The one-off is being moved to the BMW Museum in Munich. Now that is a shame, because this is one cool as hell car. watch the video below

BMW 3.0 CLS HOMMAGE R

Crane DeTomaso Pantera

Taking inspiration from Carlo Pecino AKA Colorsponge and his spectacular Ferrari 308 Brawler, Daniel Crane from Crane Designs has given the iconic 1971-1975 DeTomaso Pantera a modern twist. The Italian machine was one of the greatest supercars ever to be built, and making an improvement to something which is already perfect is an almost impossible task, but we think Daniel nailed it in this build. He maintained the hard-edged wedge shape, but modified and updated so...
