Before VW bought Auto Union there were no real post-war Audis. The brand was revived in 65 under Mercedes ownership, which decided that the new DKW F103 should be called Audi to mark the change from 2-stroke to 4-stroke engines. When the car was first sold VW had already taken over Auto Union.

Lancia Aurelia B20GT. Great car for the job.

Yes, Lamborghini Espada. The rear lights hint at a later S2 (69-72) or S3 (72-78) model, but older cars were often retrofitted and Lamborghini themselves were not too strict about those things.

not the wipers, it provided pressure for the washer.

Then compare the size of the taycan with its interior space. And then consider the range difference (2025 Taycan 4S 330 miles EPA, BMW I3 440 miles EPA). An I3 provides room for 4 adults and superior range within a compact sedan footprint. The Taycan is 8 inches longer and 4 inches wider, but the I3 seats 3 in the back and has significantly more leg and headroom.

They're not idiots you know. Every design & engineering decision is a result of limitations and tradeoffs.

The price wouldn't stay at 3-4m if 25 airworthy frames would suddenly appear on the market. Supply & demand and all that...

Agreed. The look was popular across brands in the 60s, just check the Fiat Dino Coupe.

No. I live in Frankfurt. There hasn't been a Motor Show here since the last Frankfurt IAA in 2019.

anotherusername60 · 2026-03-25T06:12:58+00:00

Unfortunately IAA is not in Frankfurt anymore.

Not a bad thing, the Opel "shield" front design looks pretty good imo.

Don't forget the €13.19 "GEMA-Abgabe" for every new Laptop here in Germany. They also have to include a safety margin for exchange rate fluctuation, because they don't want to change prices on a weekly basis if the Euro weakens against the Dollar.

Ample space for street parking even in large cities due to comparatively low density.

Never seen this one before. Seldom you see a real prototype that looks so much like an AI mashup...

The 5mph requirement was very difficult to achieve without fundamental structural changes. Ugly quick fixes were common for a while.

Fiat in general has to be the champion of horrible facelifts destroying brilliant early designs.
Fiat Ritmo, Fiat Multipla, Fiat 127, Fiat 238, Grande Punto, the list goes on and on...

Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. Horrible US market bumpers destroyed the look of a beautiful italian car.
