1935 Audi 225 Front Roadster

Reconstructed on an original chassis frame, this new addition to Audi Tradition’s historic collection is also one of its most spectacular cars. It was first exhibited with a gleaming white paint finish at the 1935 International Motor Show in Berlin. Only two prototypes were built; although the car created a sensation and was greatly admired, it would have been too expensive for successful series production. Both prototypes have disappeared, and it was therefore decided to build a replica of the Audi 225 Front Roadster by working from photographs. - See more at: http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/1930-1939/top-1935-Audi-225-Front-Roadster.html#sthash.VrfXyMAS.dpuf

1965 Land Rover Defender

1937 Ford Slantback

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Supercar

The chassis features Corvette C5 aluminum suspension at all four corners, including independent rear suspension and the C5 differential. Handling is on par with a C5 Corvette, which is light years ahead of a stock first generation Camaro. The top features a subtle chop, which is really a significant task on a convertible, since all of the top bows must be altered accordingly, and must still function for raising and lowering the top. Another interesting item on this is the electronic stack injection, which enables the classic Chevy big block to, quite literally, start with the push of a button. It starts easily on the first turn, and idles incredibly smoothly. Also note how the hood is electrically actuated and swings forward with the touch of a button on the console, or the integrated spoiler on the decklid. In short, the more you look at this Camaro, the more custom touches you discover.

1970 Dodge Challenger

This 1970 Challenger backs up the Roadster Shop winning the 2009 Trendsetter of the Year award. Called the �Baddest Challenger ever built� by Popular Hot Rodding Magazine after it was selected as a top 5 finalist for the 2010 Street Machine of the Year. This is a complete 1-off custom build with extensive body modifications to transform it into a modern, smoothed, performance machine. Bumpers have been sectioned and flushed to the body with custom lower spoilers and rear lower valance with 1-off center exhaust. BMW Halo headlights and custom grille add to the clean, modern look. The custom hood with air intake feeds the 528 aluminum Hemi making 775 HP that is backed by a 5-speed manual trans. Ride quality and performance handling comes from the custom tubular front K-member and suspension with rack and pinion steering. A custom independent rear suspension with inboard disc brakes puts the 775 HP to the ground through serious 22x12 rear and 20x9 front 1-off Budnik wheels wrapped in Pirelli rubber. The custom interior features French seemed black leather with grey alcantara inserts. The custom center console houses the drilled shifter and engine start button as well as the controls for the power windows. The dash has a custom gauge surround with Autometer computerized gauges. The interior is completed with an Alpine and Rockford Fosgate stereo and Vintage Air A/C and heat. Custom PPG paint was mixed to give this challenger a unique presence with hand airbrushed 528 Hemi graphics and matte alloy hood to add to the detail.

1964 Volkswagen Deluxe Microbus Chameleon

PALO ALTO, Calif.�Volkswagen of America, Inc. is introducing an exciting new concept vehicle from its Electronics Research Laboratory (ERL), located in Palo Alto, California. The ERL has taken a 1964 Deluxe Microbus and retrofitted it with a collection of cutting edge technologies. Dubbed the �Chameleon�, this renovated bus contains projects developed by ERL engineers and external partners that explore novel design concepts for tomorrow�s cars.

With the goal of preserving the classic look of the Microbus, the theme of the concept vehicle is �Hidden Technologies.� This goal is appropriately parallel to Volkswagen�s continuous mission to develop technologies that enhance the driving experience while limiting driver distraction. The large size and unique layout of the Microbus provides a tremendous platform to creatively integrate many different technologies. A multitude of projects are showcased in the Chameleon, representing the latest advancements in the topics of audio, speech, sensors, displays, navigation, lighting, batteries, solar cells and much more.

In addition to being a cultural icon, the Deluxe Microbus carries a uniquely Californian flavor. With its 21 windows and soft-top canvas roof, the vehicle was a favorite of surfers and adventurers on the West Coast, and is considered a prized collector�s item today. Acknowledging California�s traditionally environmentally friendly attitude, the ERL collaborated with Hybrid Technologies (www.hybridtechnologies.com) to replace the original VW engine with an all electric drive engine powered by lithium polymer batteries. Surfboards mounted on the roof are also lined with flexible solar panels that provide an additional source of energy to this 100% electric vehicle.

The interior of the bus is full of surprises, with an interactive digital instrument cluster, imbedded capacitive touch-pads, digitally enhanced sound quality, exciting rear seat entertainment options, and speech activated controls available throughout the cabin. The exterior houses several exciting new approaches for keyless entry, LED lighting, wide-angle parking cameras, switchable glass and much more.

The Volkswagen Electronics Research Laboratory intends to use the Microbus as a public relations tool to showcase the potential future of automotive electronics set in the nostalgic package of this favorite old-timer. The Chameleon has already been showcased in Germany to Volkswagen executives and engineers. It will be making its North American public debut at the AltWheels event in Boston, MA on Friday, September 22, 2006.

1935 Blue Bird V

Sir Malcolm Campbell’s world-famous Land Speed Record Breaker, the Blue Bird V, has joined the two Blue Bird record breakers already on display at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, following their first ever display together in the UK at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Sir Malcolm Campbell set a land speed record of 276.82mph in the Blue Bird V at Daytona Beach, Florida, USA, in February 1935 and then went on to become the first person to exceed 300mph when he achieved a record 301.129mph in it at Bonneville salt flats, Utah, in September of the same year.
This is only the second time in the vehicle’s history that Blue Bird V has crossed the Atlantic from its home at the Daytona International Speedway to the UK, giving visitors to Beaulieu an incredibly rare opportunity to see this magnificent motoring icon on display alongside other members of the Blue Bird family in the museum.
It joins the Bluebird CN7, driven by Sir Malcom Campbell’s son, Donald, to a land speed record of 403.10mph at Lake Eyre, Australia in 1964, and another of Sir Malcolm Campbell’s Land Speed Record Breakers, the Sunbeam 350hp – which he renamed Blue Bird and drove to two record speeds at Pendine Sands; 146.16mph in 1924, and 150.766mph in 1925.
Beaulieu Commercial Director, Stephen Munn, said: “Beaulieu has been home to Donald Campbell’s Bluebird CN7 since the 1960s, so it is wonderful to finally see his father’s most famous Land Speed Record Breaker, the Blue Bird V, displayed alongside it in the museum. To see these legendary vehicles together is an unforgettable experience, and we hope that by having them on display, they will inspire a whole new young generation and reignite the interest in land speed record breaking.”
Visitors to Beaulieu can also see Major Henry Segrave’s Sunbeam 1000hp which he drove to a record-breaking speed of 203.793mph at Daytona Beach in 1927.
This incredible Blue Bird display will only be on show for a few months, as the Blue Bird V will be making its return journey across the Atlantic at the end of November, so do not miss this amazing opportunity to view these three Blue Birds together.
The Blue Birds can be seen as part of a visit to the whole Beaulieu attraction, which includes the National Motor Museum, BOND IN MOTION, World of Top Gear, Beaulieu Abbey, Palace House and gardens.
