<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Take a look at John Rood's Rally'ed out Celica.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I've recently became more interested in rally cars, home made ones specifically. The idea of turning your car into an off road race ready machine really intrigues me, visually to be more specific. Adding a small lift to your sports car, mud flaps, and external lights really gives off a good look, Just look at John's for example. I originally noticed rally styled "street cars" when I came across a picture of a Mazda Miata lifted with some mud flaps and a couple of vinyls slapped on. It really gave me a new outlook on the Miata, and most sports to be exact. I just think visually it really creates a fun looking car and a quite exciting one too. Definitely on the future list of things to do. Create a rally style car.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Take a look at the stunning photography from Benedict Redgrove of the insane designs from Gruppo Bertone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> British photographer <a href="http://www.benedictredgrove.com/automotive/02" target="_blank">Benedict Redgrove</a> had the amazing opportunity to take a look inside Italian automotive design firm Bertone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<em style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">"I was allowed to move the cars into areas I found that worked well with the design of both building and car’</em><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><strong style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><a href="http://www.designboom.com/" target="_blank">redgrove tells designboom</a></strong><em style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> ‘they very kindly let me drive the lancia stratos prototype which you stepped into via the front glass panel, fell back into the seat, then pulled the steering column between your legs and then pulled the glass front down onto you. it was an amazing thing to behold and extremely hot, like sitting in a gold mobile greenhouse."</em><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Bertone is my favorite automotive designer (post on that later) and his concept cars are exceptional. His amazing work combined with Redgrove's stellar photography is a complete visual treat.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">What are your thoughts on these concept cars?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oil cans, especially vintage ones, are such iconic pieces. They are curated so well including nice fonts, colors, and a minimal design. The metal compliments the great look too. </span><a href="http://www.antreposhop.com/products" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Antrepo</span></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> has created some vintage style fonts that work very well if you're going for a retro style. Nothing beats the original oil designs but I'd purchase these cans if I could! Do you have a favorite oil can design?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The feeling of these photos is outstanding. It's almost as you can feel what it's like being there, with the exception of hearing the sound of the motor revving. The contrast is just right on these photos drawing you in to look at them for more than just a quick glance, at least they did for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Porsche makes beautiful cars without a doubt. The only reason why this is coming in at the last spot is because it has somewhat of a dated design compared to the other cars in this competition. Lets face it, most Porsche cars look the same and this is a design competition that involves some very unique style cars. I'm a huge fan of cars that keep the same look through out the years. Such as the Datsun z to Nissan 370z. It looks like the same car but more modern and I love that. Porsche has a great and iconic design, so why fix it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 355 is an outstanding car although personally I enjoy the 348 more. The 355 is the updated version of the 348 and offers some great new changes. I definitely appreciate the design of the 355, especially the size but it doesn't do it for me quite like the 348. The reason why I like the 348 more is because it has a lot of resemblance from the Ferrari Testarossa. We all know what an impact the Testarossa has made. All in all the 355 is a great looking car and was a nice update to the previous 348, I just think that the 348 is a bit more unique looking than the 355.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just love low wedge shaped cars and that’s exactly what the Esprit is. Giugiaro’s polygonal folded paper designs are some of the best looking cars to exist. The reason why the esprit is taking home the bronze medal is because it kept the same look for the most part throughout it's life span and although many cars had the same design aspect of the Esprit, it kept it's nice wedge shape into the 90's and that was a little rare compared to other cars being made at that time.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">My favorite car as a child is holding the 2nd place spot. The Dodge Viper RT/10 is such a unique looking car with it's iconic hood and side exhaust pipes. I'm also a big fan of it's plastic interior and removable hard top becoming available in the 2nd gen. As previously stated in this article, I love it when cars can keep the same look throughout it's newer models and versions and that's exactly what the viper did. Although I think the latest Viper is outstanding in looks as it resembles the first gen body style so well, no Viper has topped the original design in my books.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Taking home the gold is the Acura (North America) Honda (rest of world) NSX. If you read anything about cars you will know why the NSX is so great and iconic, so i'll keep this to a minimum. As it's been said over and over the NSX's design was way ahead of it's time and still looks like it was made in the current day. What's better than a timeless design? Something i'm a huge fan of is pop up headlights and targa tops and although the Ferrari F355 offers that as well, does it look as good as it does on the NSX? Also the two tone color ways with the black roofs they started offering are outstanding. Okay, enough praising the NSX, you hear it all the time. So one thing I dislike about the NSX is the way it looks in black. Yes I still love it, but with the lengthy rear end and built in spoiler I get a Batmobile vibe and I can not stand that! Although, if I came across a black NSX at an affordable price and was in the market for one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! The appreciating value of these cars hurts me as when the time comes for me to be in the market for one, they will just be way too expensive. It's a shame the new NSX couldn't have any resemblance of this. Heck, I'd say the Ferrari F50 looks more like a new NSX.</span></span></span></span></div>
