Alfa Romeo

If we try and combine the two terms "car" and "art" we begin to see that some manufacturers have been using this concept since the very beginning of their existence. It is also hard not to mention the italians since they have succesfully incorporated it within their automotive industry. Alfa Romeo is a good example. No matter how unreliable many of their cars were they still somehow got to peoples hearts. How - you ask? They didn`t just build a vehicle, they built one with passion therefore making it a car. They built cars that had and still have what we call "a soul".


Cars are here to inspire us.

1970s

Call me nostalgic, but sometimes I`d just love to time travel back to the 70s, 80s, the golden era of cars and never come back.

Bonneville Salt Flats

What d`ya reckon she`ll do? Just a morning on the Bonneville Salt flats.

Quicker Than A Hiccup

Back in the days when you had a choice- to take the car or to take the horse. 

Drive To The Beach

Wanna take a relaxing drive to the beach? 

Incident at Twenty Mile

Tom Fritz "Incident at Twenty Mile"The light at the end of the tunnel ... that`s not heaven, that`s the headlight of an oncoming train. 

Truck

Do you feel the power? 

Steve McQueen Le Mans Poster

The man, the legend. 

Locomotive

How about taking a ride in this locomotive with wheels? More of the steampunk goodness.

Steampunk Bike

What if we had never developed electronics? What all our cars were running on steam and we would fly in zeppelins instead of airplanes? The world of steampunk awaits. Check out this bike running on steam. 

Cars On Stage!

Cars beginning to take their place on stages around the world. 

Saleen

The modern day American supercar. 

Racing In The Early Days


When racing first began it was only gentlemen racing their cars on gravel roads. It was the very birth of official racing as we know it. Unofficial racing, on the other hand... 

Rat Rod

What`s better - rat or hot? It`s up to you to decide. 

Tunnel Approach

Those days the racing cars were traveling at blinding speeds without almost any safety, without computers to help them. The drivers were fearless and many died because of that. Died on a race track doing what they love. Seems like a good way to go to me.

Porsche 356 Spyder

One of the most beautiful sports cars ever seen the light. The Porsche 356 Spyder. A rebel without a cause. 

Porsche Panamera Sketch

The Panamera received a large amount of criticism even before it came out. Is the Panamera still a Porsche? That`s up to you to decide.

Porsche 911 Generations

Six generations of Porsche 911. There`s never enough of Porsche related art. One of the rare car makers that has managed to preserve the original design of their car throughout the years. And what do you think about when you hear the term "sports car"?

Porsche 917 LHs

Porsche 917 LHs in its glory days.

Porsche 917`s

 At Brands Hatch.

Porsche 917`s seem to be respected among car artists. Perhaps the best racing Porsche ever created. One of the most historic Porsche`s nonetheless. This car now is worth more than 2m $. 

Ostrich Cart

Well.. This is something different. A car? Not really. A cart with an ostrich pulling it? That sounds more like it. Interesting to think about what could have gone wrong in the early days of cars. 

Night Drive

And when was the last time you went for a drive. Just for a drive, without any destination. The world seems different at night, the streets are empty, only lost souls wondering around. Only sound is the one coming from your Porsche`s boxer engine as you fade into the night.

Ferrari 641

Nigel Mansell in his Ferrari 641.

"Motor" Covers


Some rare pieces of automotive history. Covers of "Motor" magazine published in 1924 and 1925. 

Audi Quattro 90/200

After quattro proved itself in rallying it was time for it to go and prove itself on a track. If only every car Audi ever made had quattro in it. Amazing cars.

Spirit of Racing

"Spirit of Racing Car" by Mike Tamas.  

Lancia Beta Monte Carlo

Lancia Beta in Monte Carlo. Enjoy some of the lost beauty Lancias once had. Ridiculous cars these. (in a good way, of course)

Jeep Convertible Concept

Every car maker has it`s concepts. Cars that never saw daylight. This is a Jeep sportscar / convertible. Amazing things, huh? Lots of sports car makers nowdays turn to making SUV`s. How about SUV makers creating a sports car? 

Japanese comics

How about some japanese car comics? 

Corvette

"It`s a grand sport." Corvette speeding away from a pit stop not to lose it`s position.

Hot Rod

There`s something American Graffiti about Hot Rods that I like. The more controversial the better. That`s what I love - ridiculously amazing cars.

Futuristic Racing Car

And what do you think racing will be like in the future?

Ford Racing

Pure racing. At blinding speeds the rest of the world is blurry. There`s just you and the track.

Ford Capri

Racing to win. Nothing more, nothing less.

Group B



A few artworks to remind you of the golden days of rallying - Group B. Too fast to race.

A Ferrari Moment

There`s something special about this one. It`s like the car had come alive just for this picture and the camera was able to capture it`s soul.

Ferrari Daytona

This one doesn`t need any comment, does it? Brilliant car.

Porsche 917

Put this on my wall, please. The speed, the colors, the cars. So simple, so brilliant this.

Drag Racing

For 10 seconds, for a quarter mile nothing else in the world matters. The rest is history as they say.

Dodge Charger

Dodge Charger. What an iconic muscle car. The simplicity makes me think if only cars nowdays were simpler. But I guess grass is always greener on the other side, isn`t it? Still, this Dodge Charger has to be on every car enthusiast`s "must have" list. Or, at least on "must drive" list.

Dirt Art

Now this is something unique. And when was the last time you washed your car?

DeSoto

I just love the futuristic 1960 and how they imagined the world after 50 years. Do you think we`ll be flying cars in 2060?

Cars and Desert


There`s a strange connection between a desert and some cars. I`m guessing this is because of the mother of all roads. Route 66.
