Chris Labrooy’s series, called Auto Aerobics, are distorting American cars of the late ’60s which were full of wide expanses of metal, crisp creases, and acres of grille. We wish they become real soon, though, as for now they are only 3D images rendered with a very high degree of photorealism, making them look real.

This book has been dubbed “The Bernie” after F1’s evil overlord and generally ostentatiously rich man, Bernie Ecclestone, and it costs $1,000,000. The book, which is intended to be the ultimate book on Formula One, is being billed as not a rip-off because it features never before seen photos which totally won’t be on the internet in a month or two, signatures from 22 F1 world champions and Ecclestone, and an open access red-pass to all 2014 F1 events for four people.

The racing debut of the Bentley Continental GT3 is inching closer as David Appleby Engineering has announced they will become the first customer racing team to take delivery of the model. The Continental GT3 has a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that develops 600 bhp (447 kW). It is connected to a six-speed Xtrac sequential transmission which should ensure the 1,300 kg (2,866 lbs) race car is significantly faster than its road-going counterpart.

Hyundai has launched a new sub-brand called “N.” The new brand will consist of high-performance road cars, as well as the ambitious rally car project. As we know, Hyundai will be a part of the 2014 World Rally Championship and its resident rally car, the i20 WRC, will be the first product built under this new N brand. Wondering where the letter “N” came from? Hyundai is based in Namyang, Korea, and that is where the “N” comes from — easy enough.

Dubuc Super Light Car has come out with a kit car that offers fans of performance driving an affordable and lightweight sports model. The kit car is called the Tomahawk and it’s scheduled to make a debut at the 2014 Montreal Auto Show in mid-January. The basic package, which consists of a complete rustproof body and frame, costs $19,995 and requires only the installation of mechanical components. This enables a completed car to be built in around 250 hours for a skilled individual, which Dubuc boasts is significantly faster than for most other kit cars on the market. The total budget, using parts sourced from a retired automobile (ideally a C4 Chevrolet Corvette), could be as low as $30,000.
