Altered Wheelbase Mopar.
Here are some photos of a fictional match racer circa 1966-67. I started out to build a resin kit but there were too many problems with the body so I decided to make my own!
I cut the 1/4 panels from the resin car and grafted them on to Lindberg '64 Plymouth.

BMW Project i Coupe
BMW’s supercar, the M1, was sold between 1978 to 1981 as the only mid-engined BMW to be mass produced. But you’d expect more from a maker like BMW, right? And with all the competition on the market, BMW had to do something about it, so they decided to put the Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show into production.
It’s not the first time we hear about the possibility of the Vision Efficient Dynamics going into production, but today we have more details about the production version rumored to be called the Project i Coupe. And while the concept is powered by a three cylinder turbo diesel power plant combined with two electric motors, the Project i Coupe will be offered in both electric and hybrid versions.
Rumors suggest that the Project i Coupe won’t be flying solo as BMW may be panning on an M version for this future model and it will most likely be called the M1.
UPDATE 12/28/2010: Last week, BMW trademarked a number of "i" nameplates and the i8 was on the top of the list, leading us to believe that the production version of the Vision Efficient Dynamics would get christened by this name. This makes the Vision Efficient Dynamics not only the hottest hybrid BMW will launch, but also the most expensive one with a price tag set at somewhere around $200,000.
UPDATE 02/21/2011: BMW has officially announced the new i sub-brand, with the i3 and the i8 being the first models to be launched carrying the i name. The i8 will be based on the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept study, a plug-in hybrid drive that blends the sporting ability of a high-performance machine with the fuel consumption and emissions of a small car. The i8 will be built on an aluminum chassis which houses the powertrain and the passenger cell. This cell consists of high-strength, but extremely lightweight carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The i8 will be built at BMW?s Leipzig plant starting 2013.
