Toyota and Subaru sports coupes closer to production
2008-04-09 20:55:00 Toyota and Subaru sports coupes closer to production Toyota's investment in Subaru is about to get a lot more interesting, as the two Japanese automakers are reportedly collaborating on bringing not one but two affordable sports coupes to market. The most recent updates to the unofficial news has the cars — one with the Subaru logo, the other flying the Toyota flag — on the roads in Japan by 2010, and making its way to North America shortly thereafter, while final designs should be approved by July. The coupe is believed to drive the rear wheels in base form, and draw inspiration from the classic Japanese cult car, the AE86 Corolla, or 'hachi-roku' to fans. While the car is to keep Subaru's signature flat-four engine, it will forego the equally synonymous all-wheel drive system, mainly to keep costs down. A 2.0-liter boxer, with the corporate 2.5-liter likely in North American cars, is believed to power the car, putting out between 175 and 200 h...

Deuce Coupes - Hotrodder's Choice [1963]
2007-12-19 16:24:00 Two albums were released by the Deuce Coupes in 1963, one on Crown Records (Shut Downs) and one on Del-Fi Records (Hotrodder's Choice), and although both were full of the hot rod-themed songs and instrumentals that were popular at the time, they were actually two different groups sporting the same name. The Del-Fi version of the Deuce Coupes grew out of the Avantis, formed by brothers Lolly Vegas and Pat Vegas, who would go on to fame in the 1970s as Redbone. The duo recorded Hot Rodder's Choice as the Deuce Coupes backed by a group of crack L.A. session players, including Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine, Tommy Tedesco, and Leon Russell. By 1965 the bottom had dropped out of the hot rod boom, and the brothers Vegas dropped the Deuce Coupes name and moved on to other ventures. The Crown Records version of the Deuce Coupes was a group of session players thrown together to capitalize on the drag strip craze. Owned by Saul and Jules Bihari, who also owned and ran the Modern and RPM record l...

Proteus might build classic Jaguar C-Type coupes
2007-10-22 19:52:00 by Rory Jurnecka Replicar builder Proteus is thinking about doing a car that Jaguar never did, if all goes to plan. Having been in the classic Jaguar C-Type and D-type replica producing business for 21 years, the automaker is contemplating turning a "what if" into reality in the form of a C-Type Coupe. Jaguar only made open top versions of the two-time Le Mans-winning C-Type (built from 1951-1953), leaving Proteus to wonder what kind of market there might be for a closed variant.Recently acquired by Enduro, a rival C-Type replica manufacturer, Proteus will be showing a half scale model of its proposed Coupe at Race Retro, a historic motorsports show held in Coventry, England this weekend. Based partially on initial customer reaction to the design, the company will then decide whether or not to produce the car. A closed C-Type would likely have much greater torsional rigidity than the open car, which could lead to sharper handling and a better ride. But who really needs a logical...

Alvis Cars: Clever Drophead Coupes and Saloons
2007-07-06 03:04:00 With a history of producing aero-engines and military vehicles, the Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd also generated a line of Alvis cars from 1919 to 1967. With distinct headlights, characteristic tires, and an appealing body, Alvis cars are believed named after a mythological figure from Norse culture. Over time, a variety of vehicles were produced under the Alvis name, which included the Alvis Speed 20 Tourer 1932. Alvis Firefly 12, and the Alvis Firebird. The History of Alvis Cars Originally, the cars that would become known as Alvis were a product of the TG John and Co. Ltd., which was found in 1919. The company initially concentrated on carburetor bodies, stationary engines, and the production of motor scooters until the company's founder met Geoffrey de Freville. It was Freville, who brought to light a design for a 4-cyclinder engine that showcased aluminum pistons and pressure lubrication. The idea was ahead of its time. Soon after, the first car model was called the 10...
