Things were definitively more laid back in the 60s!

Porsche 911 Paris Dakar replica. Looks awesome! Bombing through some dirt roads must be sick in that thing!

De Tomaso Longchamp with Ford 351 Cleveland V8 1972. A total of only 409 cars were built, including 14 convertibles.

Honda NR 500 1977 This oval piston was used by Honda to skirt the regulations of the time which stated that an engine could only have 4 combustion chambers. Thus Honda made elongated bores so that each combustion chamber could be extra large and help in catching up to the power made by the two stroke bikes. The experiment was a failure as 13th place was the highest finish they achieved in GP racing although they did manage to win one heat race at Laguna Seca with Freddy Spencer and the Suzuka 200 kilometer race with Kengo Kiyama.

B Engineering Edonis 2011. This car was based on the Bugatti EB 110 SS chassis which were left over after Bugatti went bankrupt and sold off all its assets. The all wheel drive system was removed and the bodywork and interior completely redone.

So named because of the famous Blue Train races in the 1920s and 1930s, a series of record-breaking attempts between automobiles and trains. It saw a number of motorists and their own or sponsored automobiles race against the Le Train Bleu, a train that ran between Calais and the French Riviera.

Ultima GTR This model was designed originally by Lee Noble (of Noble Cars) and was famously used as the test mule for the McLaren F1 engine. It has also infamously topped the Top Gear track time board, although unofficially, with a time of 1:12.8 minutes.
