A Snake In The Grass. Know Thy Enemies.



The lawsuit, filed on Monday afternoon in San Mateo Superior Court in California, accuses designer Henrik Fisker and Bernhard Koehler, the chief operating officer of Fisker's design company Fisker Coachbuild, of fraud, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of contract during their year-long effort in 2007 to style the interior and body of the Tesla sedan, called WhiteStar. Tesla paid,nearly $800,000 and gave him Fisker access to its trade secrets.Tesla accuses Fisker of purposely providing substandard designs for the Tesla sedan -- resulting in a six-month delay of its release to 2010 -- while using Tesla's data and holding back Fisker's best designs for his own vehicle.
Shortly after completing services for Tesla, Fisker and Koehler announced they were forming Fisker Automotive to put out a four-door hybrid-electric sedan called the Karma.

Timeless Beauty.


The Maserati Mexico was a luxurious 2+2, designed by Vignale and introduced at the 1966 Turin Auto Show. A combined total of 483 Mexicos were produced. The Mexico was initially equipped with a 4.2-liter V8, driving through a ZF transmission, and live rear axle. The interior was fitted with a beautiful wood dash and window trim. The lovely Connolly leather interior featured thick Wilton wool carpets, and all cars were air conditioned. Later Mexicos were fitted with 4.7-liter engines. There was also one produced with 4.9-liter engine, and strangely one was special ordered with a 3.7 Liter straight six cylinder. Power steering was an option (an important one); if you can find one with power steering you are better off. Although standard steering cars can be a little bit heavy in parking situations, on balance they have good road feel and offer simplicity.

Timeless Beauty.

Will It Make The Market Place?




At the time that the Rapide was first shown, we were told it was just a concept and unlike other concepts, this one really is capable of being driven. By late May 2006, Dr Bez confirmed in a magazine interview that AM & Ford had signed off the car for production. With all the other projects that are current such as the DBS and V8 Roadster, the production Rapide will not be seen until late 2008 or early 2009, but whatever, AM would love to beat the Porsche Panamera to the marketplace.

Automotive History.




In 1965 “When Mr. Ferrari finally said yes, he said, ‘Okay, you make it not with a Ferrari, but with a Dino,’” Pininfarina said. That meant the car would use a six-cylinder engine instead of one of Ferrari’s more-powerful V-12s. “In his mind, less powerful meant less danger for the customers,” Pininfarina explained. “And therefore I had the permission to develop the Dino.” The name memorialized Enzo’s son, Dino, who had died in 1956. By the time assembly of the Ferrari Dino 246 GT and GTS ceased in 1974, production, including the 206 GT, totaled nearly 4,000. Ferrari’s first midengine road car had become its best-selling series up to that time. Now Three Generations later the New Dino is revealed, Enjoy.
