Picture of the week: Cedric Royce

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

Team Madonna keeps amazing me. First of all the insane hotrod ass-up-face-down Cedric was copied many times already and now what to think about this bizarre creation?

Is that a Cedric? Yes it is! If it would have been pink and had six wheels in total it would totally have been Miss Penelope’s 60s Rolls Royce!

At the rear they even managed to embed R30 tail lights in the bodywork! (more…)

Only a picture of the nose of the car?
Skyline Japan with Star Sharks
Well, do you need more than that? There is so much win in only the nose of this Skyline C211 Japan:
1. Oil cooler lines sticking out of the grille and going back into the bumper!
2. Super Silhouette-like hood fins
3. Star Sharks
4. Typical early-Eighties Advan front air dam

At the rear it is a bit less exciting:

Only an Advan boot spoiler and a tsurikawa. ;)

Picture of the week: F31 Leopard

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

Most Leopards transformed into kaido racers involve the older F30, so seeing this odd colored Leopard F31 with an set of fender flares and an oil cooler attached to it made me very curious on how it looked from a different angle.

Unfortunately I haven’t found another one so far, but nevertheless wanted to share…

Picture found at in Ka Ry’s photostream at Flickr. (Definitely worth browsing through his streams!)

Picture of the week: Tri-horned Soarer

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Not that this Soarer is seriously modded, but the blinded headlight and horns sticking out of where the grille is supposed to be is a good sign!

Picture of the Week: bullied Carina

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Finding this Red Bull Racing liverage at the Tokyo Auto Salon just made my day! Not only old Granchan paint schemes are copied but also the modern ones.

I don’t think it is a copy of the Formula One, but what else does carry this liverage? Could it be the Red Bull Racing Nascar? Or maybe Rhys Millen’s Hyundai Pikes Peak that got copied?
