  Wedge Style At Silverstone: Worshipping The Esprit Club

  08/10/15, via Speedhunters (blog)

  Over 28 years, Lotus produced the 10,675 Esprit in a dozen core variants (five four-cylinder generations and seven special models), though that doesn't touch on the real number of derivatives that were haphazardly fired out over the years. From 1975

A licence to drive: the cars of James Bond - The New Daily

Cars, guns and beautiful women (not necessarily in that order) have been intrinsic to the success of a cinematic franchise that has been with us since 1962. The chisel-chinned actors who played James Bond actors have changed on several occasions,... News broke recently that Bond in the soon-to-debut film Spectre will be driving an Aston so special it hasn’t even entered production yet. The most famous car in the world This is the car that people who have never even seen a James Bond film can recognise. After retiring, Bond’s DB5 should have spent its declining years in a warm, dry corner of Q’s development lab, but lookalikes have continued to make cameo appearances in a range of Bond adventures. The fate of the original ‘gadget car’ is, however, more mysterious than even Bond creator Ian Fleming could have contemplated. A year later it was back for a less prominent role in Thunderball and similar cars have been seen in more recent 007 flicks. They had wanted to see Bond at the wheel of an E-Type but Jaguar wasn’t interested in giving away cars for which they already had more than enough buyers. Aston Martin then came up with a developmental DB5 which would be used for stunt and special effects filming and an identical. Source: thenewdaily.com.au

Tesla Model 3 prototypes: hiding in plain sight? - Christian Science Monitor

The section of the rear visible in the video appears stylistically similar to the Tesla Model X electric crossover utility vehicle that will launch before the end of this year. It's based on elements of the current Model S, meaning it's considerably larger than the Model 3 will be. The two designers interviewed for the piece refused to reveal any details--and as one forum commenter noted, such secrecy would be pointless... That's led to speculation that the clay model shown in the video is in fact the rumored crossover version of the Model 3, which would be sold alongside the sedan. Two other covered shapes sit on the other side of the studio, near the James Bond Lotus Esprit submarine that Musk has discussed rebuilding with an all-electric powertrain. So far, Tesla Motors has not given a date for the Model 3 unveiling, but a recent report puts it about seven months from now, in March 2016. The Tesla Model 3 will not go into production until calendar-year 2017 at the earliest, and many analysts... Source: www.csmonitor.com

A long weekend in... Sardinia - GQ.com

The first thing you notice about Sardinia is the cars . Unlike neighbouring Italy, the locals do not drive like they've just spilled a pint of sulphuric acid on their lap. Which is a lot like Sardinia itself. Even the Romans eventually gave up after 15 attempts at raiding the island, nicknaming it "Barbarie" after the locals' "barbaric" ferocity. Luckily, the ferocity's gone the way of the Coliseum, but the name "Barbagia" endures. 1,000 meters above sea level, it's the island's sparsely populated eastern region, folding in the "White Mountains", more scrubby ruins than you can shake a gladiu at, some of the med's very best beaches, and none of the ferociously overpriced... It's where Italians go on holiday (and, of course, where Bond emerged from the sea in his Lotus Esprit ). Time for a long weekend. As with the mainland, negotiating the cat's cradle of its town's streets involves edging your way through tight city streets. Just like Italy, fitting in is as important as standing out in terms of your transport, so leave the convertible, V12 Tara Palmer NASCARs to the men in Maranello. OK, so every engine - from the 0. 9-litre TwinAir to 1. 3-litre MultiJet - bumbles around like a forgetful uncle, but there are hundreds available for hire and you can get a convertible to enjoy the late-summer sun.
