730hp BMW Isetta “Whatta Drag”
I think it’s delightfully insane that someone thought it a good idea to take a slightly offbeat Hot Wheels model and make it a fire-breathing 730hp super-charged reality.

Rally Ferrari
The cojones it would take to climb into a Ferrari, take it off the tarmac and start sliding it around on the gravel in the company of cars like the Audi Quattro and the Lancia Stratos defies description.
Datsun 240Z
The Datsun 240Z is one of those iconic automobiles that almost every man I know, at some point, has wanted to own. Unlike the Ferraris, Astons and Jaguars of the world, the 240Z is a feasible, realistic dream for almost anyone and…
Dust Trail
This is one of the most captivating aerial rally photographs we’ve ever seen, the visible dust clouds over each of the corners give a fantastic sense of speed.

Mercury Mountain
The background of this photograph has been the source of much debate between us here at Silodrome, I think it’s Pikes Peak but I’m being told there’s no way that’s the case.
1960 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione
The rather lengthily named Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione was one of the most important GT racers of its era, it used a specifically developed short wheelbase (based on the standard 250 GT) to improve both overall weight and handling. It was powered by a 290hp…
1965 Shelby Cobra 289
This 1965 Shelby Cobra 289 is one of the cleaner, more minimalist examples of the more-famous-than-Elvis car that’s been a poster on every boy’s wall since 1962.
