Do you feel that EVs have come after swallowing those REAL CARS? 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻-𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟲𝟬𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘁𝗮? It started as a bubble car taking its engine from the motorcycles. Rivolta, the automaker, was a fan of Grand Tourers from Jaguars and Maseratis. So, he transformed this little bubble car into a GT. Finally, something which could compete with Ferraris. The Iso Rivolta was an amazing combo! It had: ↪️ Italian designing ↪️ Powered by a Corvette V8 engine ↪️ Later switched to Ford’s Cleveland V8 But it couldn’t resist more than 800 units. Market-shift towards fuel efficiency killed another exceptional engineering piece... 📌 If you still get a chance, would you choose a Muscle over EV? ----- Do you like reading about cars? 🚕 Follow + 🔔 Fariha #Automotive #Writer #Cars

Ever since its introduction in 1964, the Ford Mustang has existed in a league of its own. It was created as a small, sporty and affordable muscle car (ushering in what was nicknamed the pony car segment) and has exploded with its popularity exceeding the brand's every expectation. For the past six decades, the pony car has been the centre of muscle car culture. While the Mustang has changed a lot over the years, if there is one thing that has stayed the same, it’s that they’re downright cool. Still, some Mustangs were cooler than others, either because they were rare and special or simply because they were pure performance beasts. This #fordmustangday we’ve rounded up some of the favourites that stood out from the crowd and still evoke nothing but awe and respect: 1965 Shelby GT350 2012 Mustang Boss 302 1967 Shelby GT500 "Eleanor" 1968 Ford Mustang 428 Cobra Jet 2021 Mustang GT 2013 Shelby GT500 1964 ½ Mustang 2000 SVT Cobra R 2016 Shelby GT350R 1969 Boss 429 We might not be in the same league as the ‘Stang, but picking Pickfords as your moving partner will always have a factor of cool to it! https://lnkd.in/g9ckYZm #pickpickfords #moving #mustang #vehicletransfers #storage #movers #internationalmoving #localmoving #packing #movinghouse #transportation #movingcompany #movingservices #fordmustang #carstorage #nationalmoving #householdmovers #pickfords #relocations #movingpartner #householdmoving #stang

The iconic Aston Martin Vantage is reshaped and revitalised for a new generation! 🤩 New for 2024 and absolutely the last all-ICE sports car to be produced by Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd, the new Vantage follows the company’s time-honoured process of refining inside and out until the result is pure perfection. Aston calls this the ‘definitive front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car’, a description of an enduring engineering package that won’t mean much to drivers weaned on EVs. But a fair proportion of Aston owners are resolutely old school in their outlook, and although this Vantage is the most technologically advanced car ever to bear the name, the most important part is the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine, now producing 128hp more than the special F1 Edition! 🤯 (Image Credit: Aston Martin) #autofasteners #fasteners #automotive #betterconnected #astonmartin #vantage

The latest Vanquish employs a completely reworked version of Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre, twin-turbocharged V12, which, as opposed to many new high-performance cars, doesn’t incorporate electric assistance 🤩 Here are some more key elements of the British grand tourer 🇬🇧 https://lnkd.in/dBxVApx4

1967 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster The Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster is arguably the most famous and relevant of all the automotive legends. In 1962, the Shelby Cobra (or AC Cobra, in the UK) wrote its storied beginnings as a collaboration between Ford and British automaker AC with the release of the first production Cobra known as the CSX2001 / Mark I. In the early 1960s, Ford endeavored to build a car that would oust the Chevrolet Corvette as the USA’s most significant sports car. The American automaker was well prepared to take on their local rival and had already produced the engine they would take to the fight – a new, lightweight, thin-wall cast small-block 3.6L V8. However, they still needed a chassis to go along with the powerplant. Here enters the charismatic Carroll Shelby – financially backed by Ford for this venture – who recognized the racing success of the AC Ace in the late 1950s and would end up brokering an agreement with the Britons who would manufacture a chassis based on the Ace, which Ford would then use its fledgling V8 engine to breathe life into. Although the Ace was an aging design near the end of its life cycle, its lightweight structure would become the ideal complement in creating one of the greatest American sports cars ever made over the next few years. Thus, the Shelby Cobra was born; and the rest, as they say, is history. #Anis_Maaouia

1961 Bentley S2 Continental two-door body coach-built by James Young Bentley built nearly 2,000 S2 cars during the model's run between 1959 and 1962. At the time, it was still possible to pair a rolling chassis with a special body coach-built by the masterful experts at shops like H.J. Mulliner & Co. and Park Ward. This particular example wears a two-door body coach-built by James Young atop the rarer Continental-specification S2 chassis, and Lunaz defines it as just one of four like examples ever built. What a stunning car, and the colour is so right.
