Villa d'Este 2012: Pininfarina Cambiano Concept
May 31, 2012, 10:00 AM Eco-friendly and suitable for the family. A concept of a car can’t sound much more boring. Pininfarina however proves that this is not the case with the Cambiono Concept. Just the name sounds great already! It is about a three-door concept and there are no plans to take it into production. Maybe Aston Martin might think: “hey, this might be something for us.”

Villa d'Este: BMW i8
May 30, 2012, 10:00 PM Electric traction is totally fancy on the conceptcars at Villa d’Este! Also the sexy conceptmodel of BMW, the i8 has to be confronted with it. Not a massive V8 in the front, but a combination of an electric engine with a three-cilinder petrol engine care for the needed amount of horsepower. You get 393 bhp at your disposal, which makes that you can sprint to 60 miles per hour in just less than five seconds. So far this concept is to be seen shining at the Como lake!

Photoshoot: AC Cobra in the Polish countryside
May 30, 2012, 8:28 PM One of the most legendary cars ever produced is the Shelby Cobra or the AC Cobra. Very recently, the spiritual father of this car died. Carroll Shelby, the guy who made a big impression in the racing industry back in the sixties with this machine. The car is still alive today, in the shape of the many replica’s which are build. The combination of a small car with a very big engine is very popular by many petrolheads. Recently, the Polish photographer AutoPstryk made a very nice review of one of these stunning cars. A nice photo shoot is the result.
