Your magic on the silver screen is comparable to mine. Farewell, Mr. Wonka; your Wonkavator is going to bring you to that great chocolate factory in the clouds. http://youtu.be/RZ-uV72pQKI

Above is what can be reckoned one of, if not, the, most beautiful shapes to ever be penned and forged, with those respective contours and panels belonging to a car even Enzo Ferrari thought it was “the most beautiful car ever made.” The Jaguar E-Type, a symbol of Great Britain and, as a whole, Europe, exudes a sophisticated, refined aura that is present in many of the cars from the continent.

“Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.” That is the best way to describe the Dodge Viper’s time on this planet; it was a carefree beast, one that should not be mistaken as brutish, clumsy, or lazy. Doing this would be a major error that would be a slippery slope to the car’s revenge by lashing out at the driver, losing control and injuring the controller.

Some say that things get better with age, and in an era where Moore’s Law is beginning to appear slower than technology’s pace, that statement holds true. Pixels, which used to be large blocks that took up a screen, are now divided so finely that one can’t even realize how small they are. Individual units have disappeared into objects, three-dimensional models that traipse from one area to another, exciting us further.

I’ve been rather busy over the past few weeks, but I’d like to see what you guys can do in Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game! Above is an LS3 engine (built as closely in the game as possible to the real engine), and you can use it in one car. Your job is to build a car with this engine in it, then post it in a similar format to what I usually do with the hashtag #AutomationChallenge!

It seems that there’s something off with the 2017 Ford GT. Raj Nair nailed it with the aerodynamic body, technological showcasing, and the performance, but the EcoBoost V6 feels awkward in such a modern interpretation of Ford’s original supercar, the GT40, which was endowed with such famous V8’s as the 289, the 302, and the 427. There are many interpretations that one could take with its successor, but Nair decided that it would be best in making this car a technological showcase rather than channelling the car’s original soul like the second GT.

Congratulations, Max, on your #SpanishGP victory, haha!

Both forms of forced induction that we know of, superchargers and turbochargers, are naturally flawed in some respects.

Carroll Shelby’s idea of shoehorning Ford’s V8 in an AC Ace in place of its straight-six came a long way from its first experimental run in 1962. He originally wanted to source one from Chevrolet, but due to fears of this lightweight car becoming a competitor to their lithe Corvette, the General retreated from the deal. In a stroke of opportunity, Ford was searching for a car that could rival (and beat) Chevrolet’s flagship, and they recently created a new engine - the 260 cubic inch (4.3 liter) Windsor V8.

In short, it’s a car that deserves to be in #WankelWednesday and #WagonWednesday; now we don’t have to fight over which is the better hashtag!

(Preliminary note: this post was made for #AstonMartinWednesday to enrich fans of Gaydon’s finest on the brand’s history!)

Above is one of my favorite cars that I made, which is my vision of a 2017 Honda NSX-R!

Disclaimer: my dad and I don’t have any pictures of it because we weren’t able to take any pictures of it with our phones (we had to store it in a friend’s garage because we ran out of space at our place). Because of this lack of pictures, I had to find pictures of cars that look as much like it as possible; the largest difference between these images and the real car is that the interior has a wood grain interior. I apologize in advance!

Disclaimer: my dad and I only have one picture of it, and it’s in the picture with the ‘Cuda convertible (it’s the car behind it). Because of this lack of pictures, I had to find pictures of cars that look as much like it as possible!

(Welcome to the third article in my series, The Hot Seat, where I drive incredible, cool cars from my point of view! Today, however, I’m diverting from this by speaking about the 2007 Toyota Corolla LE, which wasn’t crazily powerful or maniacally, meticulously engineered, but was especially with helping me to learn the art of driving through its slower nature. I hope you like the article, and if you have any questions, comment below!)

Ayrton Senna: a name that inspires confidence and pride, a tsunami in the deep, sifting ocean of motorsport history, rich in krill-like factoids which we consume daily. Without him, we wouldn’t just have increased concerns over safety, but we wouldn’t be shown man’s skill, pushed to the limit, on a series of lefts, rights, and straights. He is the one many people wish to become, the one that makes people believe that the road from rookie to three-time world champion is one filled with glory, success, and, most importantly, dedication.

In the past, many race cars wore liveries that stood out and identified themselves as unique representations of a team’s support from its sponsors. Today, many of them stood the test of time, remaining popular even today with current supercars and hypercars, giving the appearance that it can be driven to the track (while catching many glances from passerby) and brought back after a day there like its predecessors did. Here are ten liveries that endured throughout motorsport’s history, now placed on some of the fastest road cars of today.
