2
It’s not every day that you get to see a bespoke Ferrari emerge through the design process, but 2011’s Baller Of The Year James Glickenhaus (we just awarded him that title on the spot) has been kind enough to share photos of his custom made Ferrari race car with the interior, in what might be…

New Stratos Debuts In Alitalia Livery
We at Autoguide have a theory that the best race car liveries are all for products that aren’t so great; cigarettes, vermouth, oil companies and cramped airlines with good food – such as the New Stratos, decked out in Alitalia livery. The original Stratos, known for its rally prowess, proudly wore the Alitalia livery during…

Aston Martin One-77 Pounds Pavement At The Nurburgring
Aston Martin‘s most opulent supercar, the $1.7 million One-77 was spotted doing laps of the Nurburgring recently, and the V12 shriek should be enough to move all 77 units directly to the garages of the UAE.

Ferrari 612 GTS Pavesi Sports An Old School T-Top
The Ferrari aficionado who commissioned the one-off 612 GTS Pavesi must have been a fan of Bon Jovi and Trans Am’s in a previous life, because he somehow decided that the base Ferrari 612 wasn’t awesome enough – it needed a T-Top.

Pagani Zonda 750 Looks Like Barney’s Bespoke Supercar
Pagani’s tradition of accepting commissions for custom made Zonda supercars doesn’t look like it’s stopping any time soon, and their latest creation, the Zonda 750, is either a cruel practical joke, or the machinations of an eccentric rich guy whose aesthetic sensibilities have gone off the deep end.
