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.

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?
