Who designed this mid-Seventies mid-engine supercar?

In the mid-1970s, with supercars and wedge-shaped designs starting to come out of the woodwork, we can't blame most designers for taking a crack at the theme. It was futuristic, it oozed performance, and it wore its sexiness on its sleeve. But we had to be skeptical when we came across the above two renderings of such a car labeled as AMC concepts, which led us to question who designed them?
While AMC's designers tossed out a number of fanciful ideas during the development of the AMX and what would become the mid-engine AMX/3 in the mid- to late 1960s – some showing impossibly low sports cars, some showing severely abrupt rear lopoffs, as shown by Chris Zinn in AMX Photo Archive: From Concept to Reality – these two renderings unmistakably show a date of June 16, 1975, about five years after the AMX/3 project fell apart and from a time when AMC certainly wasn't entertaining thoughts of another ultra-expensive sports car.
David Lawrence, the art dealer who has put a group of renderings from his collection – including these two – up for sale at the upcoming Heritage Auctions automobilia sale, said he thought of the AMX/3 first when putting together descriptions of the renderings for the sale, but fellow collector Hampton Wayt, who Lawrence said he bought the renderings from, said be believes the two were done by a GM designer named Alan Young. That would make sense of the signature on the renderings, which doesn't match any AMC designer's signature that we've seen, and that would also make sense, given that Young apparently worked on the third-generation Corvette's design.
As for the other renderings included in the sale, Lawrence said he believes the green and red ones were done for Kaiser by industrial designer Ray Redfern, and the blue one carries the signature of Bill Michalak, a longtime GM designer.
The Heritage Auctions automobilia sale will take place May 29 in Dallas. For more information, visit Historical.HA.com.
UPDATE: Heritage Auctions has updated the description of the top two renderings to remove reference to the AMX. Apparently, it's a design study for a mid-engined Corvette. The blue one is for a 1971 Oldsmobile.
From the HMN archives: Urraco paste-up
Here's an interesting item we dug up this past week that illustrates how Hemmings Motor News would put an ad together back in the 1970s. We take for granted these days how easy it is to change the font of a word, or add italics, but it was a little more complicated then, as we can see from the before (above) and after (below).
As for the car, it's a 1975 Lamborghini Urraco. The Urraco was introduced in 1970 but not sold until 1973. A change from the sporty supercars that preceded it, the Urraco was an attempt to make Lamborghini more affordable and desirable to a larger market. The Urraco tends to get a bad rap compared to the other Lamborghini models and is often dismissed, like Willie Mays on the Mets, George Lazenby as James Bond, or Elvis toward the end. Less than 800 were made, though, so it did have the rarity to make it an interesting collectible. Whether it actually became a masterpiece is in the eyes of the beholder, but the Urraco never became a big moneymaker from an investment standpoint, with top examples typically selling today for a little more than $30,000 for the P250 and $35,000 for the P300.
Looking at the proposed trade option at the bottom of this ad and glancing at the classifieds in the 1978 issues of Hemmings, T-Birds were selling for on average around $10,000 to $15,000, with top concours examples at around $20,000 and 1953-1954 Corvettes were around highs of $25,000 for the 1953 and $16,000 for the 1954.
Cars of Futures Past – Ford Mustang I

There are many rumors and misconceptions surrounding the first Ford vehicle to carry the Mustang moniker. Contrary to popular belief, it was not named after the World War II fighter (as The Henry Ford's Matt Anderson indicates in the video below), and had virtually nothing at all to do with the production car that would later bear its name. Instead, the Mustang I (or, more correctly, the Ford Mustang Experimental Sports Car) was a necessary sacrificial lamb at the altar of marketing and public relations, but one that foretold of a coming future of sports cars and racing glory.
Though the Chevrolet Corvair never ignited a rear-engine revolution among American carmakers, in 1960 and 1961 it had executives at rival brands very nervous. A bold departure from conventional thinking, the Corvair was sporty, economical, and aimed at the very same buyer Ford was having trouble drawing into showrooms. Adding sex appeal to the Falcon was the best Ford could do on short notice, but it was clear that the brand needed to re-invent its image. As Robert A. Fria explains in Mustang Genesis, two projects were moving forward at Ford almost simultaneously. One, tied to Lee Iacocca and the Fairlane Committee (named for the Fairlane Inn, the location where the group would most often meet) would eventually become the production Ford Mustang, while the second project, led by Ford styling head Gene Bordinat, was intended to personify Ford's new "Total Performance" image, envisioned by marketing to portray the automaker as a young, hip, and desirable brand.
The task of executing on this Total Performance image was given to chief stylists Bob Maguire and Damon Woods, who drafted a team of designers that would include John Najjar, Jim Sipple and Phil Clark. Under the project name W-301, the group developed this experimental sports car design from drawings through clay and fiberglass models, and along the way the Mustang name was adopted. This reportedly came from Phil Clark, who had used such horse references on drawings dating back to his days at California's Art Center School of Design, and Clark would draft the first representation of the galloping horse logo, not dissimilar from the one that remains in use to this day. Ford's vice president of corporate engineering, Herb Misch, embraced the Mustang Experimental Sport Car design and gave approval to convert the model into a full-scale driveable concept car, with one catch: The Mustang I would need to be built in time for the fall 1962 show season, giving the team about 100 days to work with.

Ford engineers Frank Theyleg and Royston Lunn had earlier proposed a lightweight sports car concept using the 1.5-liter V-4 from the European Ford Taunus, so this drivetrain was adopted for the Mustang I project. The Taunus was front-wheel drive, which didn't fit with the Mustang I's Total Performance image, so the platform was rotated to create a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive prototype. With a little more than three months to complete the build, Bordinat and his team knew that outside help would be necessary, so a phone call was made to race car builder Troutman and Barnes, which had extensive experience fabricating Indy cars, along with Scarab sports racers for Lance Reventlow.
In early June of 1962, Troutman and Barnes received the fiberglass body mold used to shape the Mustang I. To save as much weight as possible (and to expedite production), it was decided that the car would use a steel tube frame and a stressed aluminum body, and by the end of the month Ford had provided the required chassis plans. Computer-aided design was employed in designing the Mustang's suspension, making this the first Ford product to benefit from the use of such (then) cutting-edge technology, which would later be used on the GT40 endurance racer. By late September, Troutman and Barnes had finished their work on the car, which was shipped back to Dearborn for final assembly and testing.
Befitting a car that was to represent Total Performance, the two-seat Mustang I looked every bit like a race car. Its wedge-shaped nose and oversize side intakes spoke of performance, as did the stylized roll hoop positioned behind the driver's head. At just 154 inches in length and 1,544 pounds in weight, it was considerably smaller than anything else in Ford's stable, and the 1.5-liter V-4 (tuned to produce 109 horsepower) gave the car a 0-60 MPH time of less than 10 seconds and a top speed in excess of 100 MPH. It bristled with innovation in other areas as well, featuring pop-up headlamps and fixed seating with movable pedals. Early designs called for a retractable front license plate holder, meant to further reduce drag at speed, though it's not clear if this detail made the road-going prototype.
When Ford learned that Chevrolet would showcase its 1963 Corvair Monza at the U.S. Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, the decision was made to steal Chevrolet's thunder by debuting the Mustang I there as well. While the Corvair was little more than a static display, the Mustang I was driven on track by Dan Gurney, thrilling spectators and drawing crowds whenever the car was parked. A West Coast exhibition at Laguna Seca followed, as did a Southern exhibition at the Daytona Motor Speedway, and then the car hit the show circuit in the United States, drawing near-universal praise at each stop. When the auto show season ended, Ford took the Mustang I to college campuses in an attempt to attract the best and brightest engineering students to Dearborn following graduation. Next, the Mustang I toured Europe, where it surprised audiences across the pond with its radical design and focus on performance and handling.
In a way, however, it was all a ruse. As Lee Iacocca later explained, Ford never had any intention of producing the Mustang I. As a production car, it was too narrow in scope, offering just two seats and virtually no luggage room, which meant that production volume would always remain low, and low-volume cars, even those sold at high prices, generally fail to deliver the type of return on investment that automakers expect. Upon the Mustang I's return from Europe, it was secreted away to save it from the crusher, but by then it had already served out its useful life. Only a handful of design features trickled down to the production Mustang (which only shared the Mustang I's name via coincidence), including a version of the galloping horse logo, the round and low front turn signals and a stylized (and non-functional) version of the concept's side air intakes.
That hardly means the Mustang I was a failure; in fact, the concept accomplished its mission with great success, foreshadowing the introduction of both the production Mustang and Ford's racing efforts with the GT40. The Mustang I bought the automaker enough time to launch the production Mustang by countering potential sales of the Chevrolet Corvair, and it effectively painted Ford in a new light among buyers. Total Performance became more than a marketing slogan, and the Mustang I helped Ford champion its new image around the world.
As important a role as the Mustang I played, the car was largely forgotten about until 1975, when it was donated to The Henry Ford by the Ford Motor Company. Restored in 1980 (in time for Gene Bordinat's retirement), the car remains on display in The Henry Ford, a symbol of both a production-car future that never was and a Total Performance future that carries on to this day.
Lost Cars of the 1980s – Lamborghini Jalpa P350 GTS
An early Lamborghini Jalpa P350 GTS. Photos by Craig Howell.
Hidden, perhaps, in the shadow of its bigger brother, the legendary Lamborghini Countach, the Jalpa was an important car for the Sant'Agata manufacturer, and its launch helped the Mimran family pull Lamborghini back from the brink of extinction. Yet the Lamborghini Jalpa has almost vanished from the supercar landscape in the 26 years since production ended.
When the Mimran family took charge of Lamborghini in 1980, the once-proud supercar manufacturer was in receivership, its sales addled by a product line that was, with the possible exception of the ever-futuristic Countach, a bit dated. Worse, existing customers had seen the value of their cars plummet as a result of Lamborghini's financial hardships, so it was clear that a short-term solution was needed to shore up the company. The answer was a car already in development, one that preserved the Lamborghini mystique while making the brand accessible to a larger pool of buyers. It also needed to offer updated styling, while delivering superior driving dynamics on city streets and on country roads. That car was the Jalpa, which carried on the Lamborghini tradition of naming cars after fighting bulls, or in this case, a breed of fighting bull.
The Jalpa was hardly a clean-sheet design. It was based upon the Lamborghini Silhouette, which in turn was based upon the Lamborghini Urraco Silhouette, which in turn was based upon the Lamborghini Urraco, a car that first hit the market in 1973. Like its predecessors, the Jalpa featured understated (by Lamborghini standards) good looks, penned by Bertone, and a mid-mounted V-8 engine that supplied its power to the rear wheels. To make the car more competitive with its primary rival, the Ferrari 308 GTSi, the Silhouette's displacement was increased from 3.0 liters to 3.5 liters, courtesy of a longer stroke.
That bumped the output of the 90-degree aluminum V-8 to 255 horsepower and 231 pound-feet of torque, which wasn't significantly different from the Silhouette. Unlike the rival Ferrari, which now featured fuel injection, the Jalpa soldiered on with four twin-throat Weber 40 DCNF carburetors, which surely added to the car's joyous mechanical symphony. Power delivery was said to be smoother than the Silhouette, making the Jalpa an ideal choice for buyers who intended to use their cars for such pedestrian tasks as commuting to work. Given an unobstructed road, the Jalpa was capable of dashing from 0-60 MPH in 7.3 seconds on the way to a top speed of 161 MPH. While few Jalpas spent weekends at the drag strip, a period Road & Track evaluation reported that the car could run through the quarter-mile in 15.4 seconds at a speed of 92 MPH.
Underneath, the Jalpa used a fully independent suspension that relied on coil springs, MacPherson struts and anti-roll bars in front and in the rear. Where the silhouette rode on 15-inch wheels, the Jalpa received updated 16×7.5-inch Campagnolos, shod with 205/55VR16 tires up front and 225/50VR16 tires in the rear. Despite the serious rubber (for the day, at least) and a lateral acceleration of 0.846g, the Jalpa was no match for the Ferrari 308GTSi in the slalom, as the Ferrari delivered more forgiving handling at the limit. Within its capabilities, however, the Jalpa quickly developed a reputation as a kinder and gentler supercar, one that could actually be enjoyed on a regular basis. Even if track days weren't the car's strong suit, owners still believed its strengths outnumbered its weaknesses.
Assuming, of course, they could adapt to the Jalpa's unusual ergonomics. Seats were said to be narrow and lacking in lateral support, while the reach to the controls was a long one. Many testers found that in order to effectively reach the accelerator, brake and clutch pedals, one needed to sit frighteningly close to the windshield. Assuming a driver's proportions fit the Jalpa, the car came with such amenities as leather upholstery, air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo cassette audio system, power windows and a power driver's side mirror. The dash used an odd array of round instruments set in square pods, and some complained of the cheap feel of the switchgear, but considering the car was built for a different price point than the Countach, most overlooked these details.
First shown at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show, the Jalpa went on sale worldwide as a 1982 model. Though the silhouette had been absent from the United States market, the Jalpa returned an "affordable" Lamborghini to these shores and gave the automaker a product beyond the range-topping Countach. In 1982, the least-expensive Countach (the 5000S) sold for a price of $99,000, making the $58,000 Jalpa seem like a bargain in comparison. Ferrari's 308GTSi stickered at a comparable $58,550, and the Mimran family had high hopes that the Jalpa would deliver a significant bump in sales.
By Lamborghini's standards, the Jalpa sold well, becoming the brand's most successful V-8 offering. Depending upon source, total production was either 410 units, 416 units or 420 units, but all of these numbers were well below the Mimrans'original expectations. Though the family had reversed Lamborghini's fortunes, turning it from bankruptcy into a profitable company, the Jalpa had not proven to be the out-of-the-park home run they predicted. The answer, according to the family, would be a successor to the Jalpa, also aimed at the entry-level segment and code-named the P140 Bravo.
Had Chrysler not entered the picture in 1986, the P140 may have proven to be the success that the Mimrans had hoped for. Instead of an entry-level car, Chrysler believed that the key to Lamborghini's future would be a new halo car, one that could replace the aging Countach and drive the esteemed Italian brand forward in the eyes of consumers. Chrysler assumed control of Lamborghini in 1987, the Diablo replaced the Countach in 1990, and the P140 Bravo never saw the light of day; given the supercar manufacturer's ongoing profitability, it's hard to argue that Chrysler made the wrong call.
Without the intervention of the Mimran family, it's quite possible that the Lamborghini brand would not have survived its receivership. Likewise, without the Jalpa, Lamborghini may have disappeared from the U.S. market by the late 1980s, shuttered by a lack of product diversity. Though the Jalpa may be largely forgotten today, the "baby Lamborghini" played a significant role in the company's history, and it deserves a bit of respect for that alone.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1976 Lancia Scorpion
Seeing an opportunity to launch a mid-engine sports car of its own, Lancia positioned the Scorpion as an upscale alternative to the Fiat X1/9, and sold the car alongside its front-engine,
rear front-drive Beta coupe and HPE sedan/wagon. As the Scorpion only lasted from 1976 until 1978 in the U.S. market, sales of the distinctive coupe were few, making well-preserved survivors rare. This 1976 Lancia Scorpion for sale on Hemmings.com comes from the car's first U.S. model year, and has had a single owner over the past nine years. Well-maintained, this California car has reportedly seen less than 64,000 salt-free miles beneath its wheels. From the seller's description:
63,XXX original miles. Original California car, very solid and ready to drive anywhere. This is a genuine turn key example. Everything works as it should. This Scorpion has been very well maintained with a great respect towards originality. Same owner for the past 9 nine years. Wonderful Pininfarina styling and design.

Experimental Chevrolet CERV II to cross the block in New York
The 1963 CERV II. Photos by Michael Furman, courtesy RM Auctions.
In 1962, Zora Arkus-Duntov conceptualized a line of Corvettes that would be constructed entirely for racing, complete with a mid-engine layout, a monocoque chassis and a fuel-injected, aluminum alloy V-8 engine. Over the next two years, Duntov's team assembled a car that came to be known as the Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle II, or CERV II, but most enthusiasts know the car as the greatest Corvette that never was. Now the 1963 CERV II, a legendary piece of Corvette history, will head to auction as part of the upcoming RM Auctions Art of the Automobile sale in New York City.
Duntov was also behind another program to build racing Corvettes, in the form of the production-based Grand Sports. The CERV II was intended to take this to a whole new level and compete in the same classes as the under-development Ford GT40, giving American race fans two domestic manufacturers to cheer for on the international circuit. Just as construction of the CERV II was started, however, General Motors senior management issued an utterly unambiguous "no racing" edict that should have halted the experimental car's development.
It didn't, as Duntov simply shifted the CERV II's focus to that of a rolling test bed to develop a "Super Corvette" for the street. When the CERV II was completed, it sported an aerodynamic body designed by Larry Shinoda and Tony Lapine, an alloy 377-cu.in. V-8 with Hilborn fuel injection (estimated to produce around 500 horsepower), and a unique all-wheel-drive system that used dual torque converters and varied the front-to-rear power split based upon vehicle speed. The rear torque converter (an 11-inch Powerglide unit) was set to lock up at around 4,500 RPM, while the front torque converter (a 10-inch Powerglide unit) was designed to lock up at 4,100 RPM, giving added traction under heavy acceleration. Each end of the car had a two-speed gearbox as well, allowing either direct drive or a 1.5:1 reduction.
Another goal was to produce a car that weighed less than 1,400 pounds, so titanium was used to construct the hubs, connecting rods, valves and exhaust manifolds, while magnesium wheels were shod with experimental low-profile Firestone tires. Girling disc brakes were used in all four corners, and the CERV II's independent suspension used coil springs and Armstrong shock absorbers in all corners. The net result was impressive performance, with the car reportedly capable of running from 0-60 MPH in 2.8 seconds on the way to a top speed of 200 MPH.
The first public appearance of the CERV II was at the Milford test track in March of 1964. Drivers like Jim Hall, Roger Penske and Bob Clift all spent time behind the wheel of the CERV II as it went through an evolutionary process of continuous improvement; and by 1970, the experimental car was running a 427-cu.in. ZL-1 V-8. Sadly, the Super Corvette that the CERV II allegedly foretold never materialized, but rumors of a mid-engine, all-wheel-drive Corvette seem to appear every time a new Corvette generation is announced. With no additional purpose to serve its creators, the CERV II was displayed on the show circuit and in museums before falling into private hands. Now this iconic bit of GM's history will cross the stage in New York City for the first time since 2001 with a pre-auction estimate price of $1.3 to $1.8 million.
The Art of the Automobile auction will take place November 21 in the Sotheby's showroom in New York City. For additional details, visit RM Auctions.com.
UPDATE (21.November 2013): The CERV II sold at hammer price (excluding buyer's premium) of $1,000,000.
An AMX/3 comes up for sale for the first time in 15 years
Photos courtesy Walter Kirtland.
Giotto Bizzarrini turned to the AMC executives watching the high-speed tests for the AMX/3 at Monza in 1970. The Americans had hoped their mid-engine proto-supercar car would be capable of 160 MPH, and the chin spoiler Bizzarrini just added allowed it to easily surpass that goal. "Will 170 MPH be satisfactory?" he asked. One can only presume the AMC officials agreed, and the very car that impressed them has now come up for sale.
One of only six built, the AMX/3 is best known as number 4, and according to owner Walter Kirtland of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, it's the only one of the six to have been branded not as an AMC but as an "AMX/3 by Bizzarrini." Bizzarrini, who had worked for Ferrari in the late 1950s and had developed the 250 Testa Rossa as well as the 250 GTO, began building his own limited production and racing cars in 1964, and while he closed up shop in 1969, he did take on the task of building the AMX/3 when AMC approached him in the late 1960s.
While AMC already had the sporty AMX making headlines in the late 1960s, its vice president, Gerry Meyers, and chief of styling, Dick Teague, pushed for something truly groundbreaking – an American mid-engine supercar in the vein of Lamborghini's Miura. Though they opened up the initial design process to Giorgio Giugiaro, it was Teague and designer Bob Nixon's vision for the AMX/2 show car of 1969 that ultimately provided the basis for the AMX/3, which AMC at first fully intended to offer as a production car with Bizzarrini's help.
Bizzarrini would not only build the steel-bodied car at his factory in Livorno, he would also design and develop the semi-monocoque chassis, which he told Kirtland was the ultimate evolution of the P538. "He told me it was the best handling car he ever built," Kirtland said. Bizzarrini shaped it all around AMC's 340hp 390-cu.in. V-8 backed by a four-speed transaxle that OTO Malara developed to handle the 390′s 430 pound-feet of torque.
According to Edrie Marquez's Amazing AMC Muscle, AMC initially projected building 5,000 AMX/3s per year, then quickly revised that number down to a couple dozen per year, but a couple factors derailed those plans. First, just as it introduced the AMX/3 in March 1970 came word of the impending 5 MPH bumper safety standards, which couldn't easily be implemented on the as-designed AMX/3. Second, the overall retail cost for the AMX/3 would have come in at about $12,000, more than three times as much as the regular AMX and about $2,000 to $3,000 more than the mid-engine De Tomaso Pantera.
As a result, AMC killed the project not long after it introduced the car, after Bizzarrini had completed just five examples. Bizzarrini had, however, begun work on a second batch of five, and Giotto Bizzarrini's business partner, Salvatore Diamonte, decided to go ahead and complete one of those cars and scrap the rest.
Of those six, all of them still exist (in addition to a fiberglass pushmobile), and at least two of them remain in the hands of their original owners or their families. The Monza test car initially went to Bill Demichielli of Indianapolis who, according to Tom Dulaney's AMX390.com, bought the car in 1971 for a discount $6,500. Demichielli then sold it five years later to fellow Indianapolis resident Jack Cohen, who in turn sold it to Kirtland in 1989. "I visited with him for half a day before we even talked about selling the car," Kirtland said. "It was like he was interviewing me to marry his daughter."
Kirtland, a Bizzarrini and Iso Grifo enthusiast, promptly sent the AMX/3 to Bill's Body Shoppe in Bellflower, California, for a full restoration. He noted that it had about 2,700 miles on it at that time and had been in "completely original" condition when he got it, down to the "AMX/3 by Bizzarrini" decal on the decklid spoiler. The restoration wrapped just in time for Kirtland to take the AMX/3 up the coast to Monterey and participate in that year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, which featured a pair of classes dedicated to Giotto Bizzarrini. Kirtland's AMX/3 didn't place in his class, but he said he did get a chance to put a few hundred miles on it that weekend.
Curiously, few AMX/3s have come up for sale (at least publicly) since then. Dulaney discovered and bought the pushmobile in 2007, but the last time a running and driving AMX/3 appears to have been on the market was in October 1997, when the Prisma Collection offered AMX/3 number 5, the yellow car that Teague modified with Pontiac Firebird taillamps, for sale in Hemmings Motor News for $225,000.
Kirtland, who described the car as in #2 condition when he offered it for sale on Mike Gulett's My Car Quest, is asking $895,000 for his AMX/3.
UPDATE (29.September 2013): The price has been lowered to $795,000.
UPDATE (15.May 2014): Mike reports that the AMX/3 has sold to a collector in Germany.
Lost Cars of the 1980s – Toyota W10 MR2
1987 Toyota MR2. All images courtesy Toyota USA.
Mid-engine, rear-drive, two-seat sports cars were once primarily the domain of Italian, German or British manufacturers. Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, American buyers on a limited budget could opt for the Fiat X1/9, while those with larger bank accounts could shop the Lotus Europa Series 2, the Porsche 914, the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, or (later) the Ferrari 308 GTB. In the early 1980s, two more mid-engine, rear-drive options for the budget-conscious sports car shopper would appear, both from unlikely manufacturers located nowhere near Italy, Germany, or Great Britain. Following the 1984 introduction of the domestically manufactured Pontiac Fiero, Japanese auto giant Toyota launched an even sportier take on the idea for the 1985 model year: the Toyota MR2.
Though derived from the SV-3 concept shown at the 1983 Tokyo Auto Show, the MR2 (the designation reportedly denoted the car's Mid-engine, Runabout, 2-seat design) traced its roots back to a project conceptualized by Toyota in 1976. The idea behind it was timeless: build a lightweight car with reasonable power and exceptional handling that still managed to return superior fuel economy. It wasn't until 1979 that Toyota produced the first concept, called the SA-X, but even this model bore an uncanny resemblance to the production model that enthusiasts would affectionately call "Mister Two."
1985 Toyota MR2.
Toyota may have taken three years to turn its original idea into a concept car, but the automaker wasted no time in turning the SV-3 concept into the production MR2. Perhaps because of the public's overwhelmingly positive reaction to Toyota's first mid-engine, rear-drive sports car, Japanese sales of the the MR2 began just one year later, in 1984. The following year saw the first MR2 models arrive in the United States, and the diminutive, wedge-shaped car gave sports car buyers much to like, as long as luggage space wasn't a necessity.
Power initially came from a Toyota 4A-GE 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, mounted transversely behind the passenger compartment, but ahead of the rear wheels. Americans were already familiar with this 16-valve, fuel-injected, dual-overhead cam engine, as it was the same high-revving, 112hp screamer found in the AE86 Toyota Corolla. Thanks in part to the MR2′s curb weight of just 2,350 pounds, a five-speed manual MR2 could make the run from 0-60 MPH in under 8.5 seconds, making the MR2 quicker than either the four-cylinder Pontiac Fiero or the Fiat X1/9.
As if that wasn't impressive enough, the MR2 was universally praised for its well-balanced and relatively forgiving handling, thanks to a suspension designed with input from Lotus engineer Roger Becker and legendary driver Dan Gurney. Up front, the MR2 used MacPherson struts, coil springs and an anti-roll bar, while out back the design called for struts, springs and trailing arms, and the 1985 MR2 also included a rear anti-roll bar. Disc brakes were standard equipment, and most reviewers could find only one flaw with the car: U.S. allocation was reportedly capped at 3,000 units per month for the car's first model year, meaning that demand was likely to (far) exceed supply.
1988 Toyota MR2 Supercharged.
On the surface, not much changed in the U.S. market for the 1986 model year, except for the addition of side skirts and color-matched bumpers. Underneath, the MR2 lost its rear anti-roll bar, likely in an attempt to make handling even more forgiving by promoting understeer. The following year, 1987, saw the introduction of the T-top model in the United States, while the front spoiler was revised with a more angular appearance. Taillamps were revised (though not significantly), the interior was updated and the suspension was further refined to reduce the potential for oversteer.
Under the hood, the 1987 MR2 received a redesigned intake system and beefier transmissions, both in automatic and manual versions. The big news for buyers in the United States, however, came in 1988, when Toyota debuted a supercharged version of the MR2 that had premiered in Japan in 1987. While the supercharged engine was based on the same 1.6-liter four found in normally aspirated versions, forced-induction models received strengthened internals, a Roots-type supercharger, dual-aperture fuel injectors and an air-to-air intercooler. Output was bumped to 145 horsepower, which was enough to shave a full second off the car's 0-60 MPH time.
While supercharged models benefited from computerized engine management, the driver had an active role in the process, as well. Premium fuel was recommended, but a button on the dash allowed the driver to select regular unleaded when the high-octane alternative was unavailable; pressing it would (presumably) retard timing and reduce horsepower, but also reduce the chances of preignition caused by low-octane fuel. The supercharged MR2 also employed a bypass system and magnetic clutch to disengage the supercharger under deceleration or under light engine loads, but when the accelerator was floored, a green light at the bottom of the tachometer was there to remind the driver why he was being pressed into the back of his seat.
The following year, 1989, would be the last for the first-generation (W10) MR2 models in the North American market. Both normally aspirated and supercharged variants would return, and the supercharged models once again received a rear anti-roll bar, though other models did not. The MR2 would then take a two-year vacation from the North American market before returning in W20 form (with both normally aspirated and turbocharged variants) in late 1991.
Though some derided the original MR2 as underpowered and almost comically small, the car received numerous accolades during its time on the market, including "Ten Best" awards from Road & Track and Car and Driver, as well as "Import Car of the Year" from Motor Trend. The popularity of the first MR2 paved the way for later models, and perhaps even opened the door for later budget sports cars, such as Mazda's phenomenally successful Miata. Toyota's latest budget sports car offering, the GT-86 (sold here as the Scion FR-S), is a return to a familiar formula, even if the car isn't mid-engined. After years of building reliable but uninspired family transportation, Toyota is once again offering an affordable sports car that blends handling and fuel economy, proving once again that there's no such thing as a truly fresh idea.
Four-Links – Airstream caravans, more vintage trailers, Ford painting restored, look back at the Mustang I
* If you're into vintage Airstreams, you know the name Wally Byam. Not only was he the founder of the company, according to Men's Journal, he also organized Airstream caravans to rather exotic places around the world: Iran, Nicaragua, Egypt, even Ethiopia. (via)
* Speaking of vintage trailers, there's a Tumblr all about them too.
* Ford sent out a couple historical-related blasts this week. First, a piece on the restoration of "Visions of Tomorrow," the painting that Ford used in its "Opening the Highways" Saturday Evening Post advertisement.
* Next, as related by Wired's Autopia blog, a look back on the very first Mustang concept car, the mid-engine four-cylinder Mustang I, in anticipation of the pony car's pending 50th anniversary.
* Finally, a dragster powered by compressed air that did 160 MPH. Stance is Everything has the story.
Ford's GT40 voted top Le Mans car of the 1960s ahead of 90th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans

With the 24 Hours of Le Mans celebrating its 90th anniversary
this next weekend, the sanctioning body Automobile Clue de l'Ouest (ACO) earlier this year set out to name the top cars of each of the race's 10 decades, and while Ferrari won the race six straight times during the 1960s in different cars, the title of top Le Mans car of that decade instead went to Ford's GT40.
Beyond being one of the sexiest racing cars ever to grace le Circuit de la Sarthe, the GT40 remains the only American car to win the race outright. Conceived out of Henry Ford II's desire to beat Ferrari at all costs following Enzo Ferrari's decision to pull out of a deal that would merge the two companies, the GT40 was loosely based on Lola's own GT, a super-advanced Ford V-8 powered car, but received considerable development over the span of several years by Ford engineering teams in both England and the United States and by Carroll Shelby. Powered by several different mid-engine configuration Ford V-8s and piloted by some of the world's top drivers at the time – including Ken Miles, Bruce McLaren, Dan Gurney, A.J. Foyt, and Jacky Ickx, the GT40 went on to dominate endurance and Grand Prix racing during the latter half of the 1960s, winning Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969, and securing the only all-American (American-developed car with an American engine and American drivers) win at Le Mans.
(On that note, we will mention that a Stutz Vertical Eight came tantalizingly close in 1928, followed in third and fourth by a pair of Chryslers, no less. And, of course, the incredible efforts of Briggs Cunningham that yielded a trio of top five finishes in the mid-1950s need not go unmentioned.)
Starting with three cars from each decade, the ACO allowed visitors to their web site to vote for the cars that most represent the spirit of the race and then a panel of judges, including drivers, journalists, team principals and motorsports officials made the final judgement.
Of course, the ACO couldn't leave well enough alone and they ended up selecting 11 cars, including the Peugeot 905 along with the Mazda 787B to represent the 1990s. Here is the rest of the list for you to dispute and argue about as Audi once again looks ready to take on Toyota, Lola and Honda in the top class this year.

1920s: Bentley Speed Six: The 1929 and 1930 champion Speed Six followed the Bentley 3 Litre and 4-1/2 Litre winners from 1927 and 1928, respectively, as part of a commanding four-year run W.O. Bentley and his team.

1930s: Alfa Romeo 8C: With four wins in a row from 1931 through 1934, Alfa Romeo cemented an already celebrated racing heritage. With an inline eight-cylinder engine designed by the legendary Vittorio Jano and a team managed by a young Enzo Ferrari, it's no wonder they had such smashing success.
1940s: Ferrari 166MM: As the winner of the only race run in the 1940s, this was probably the easiest selection to make for those that voted. World War II put a stop to all racing activity on the Continent and Ferrari's 1949 champion won the first race at Le Mans since 1939.

1950s: Jaguar D-type: Perhaps the quintessential Le Mans champion, Jaguar's D-type won three consecutive races from 1955 through 1957, creating a legend that the car company traded on for decades, long after any sporting pretension remained in their road cars.
Ford GT40s finish in a dominating one-two-three fashion at Le Mans in 1966. Photo courtesy Ford Motor Company.
1960s: Ford GT40: We love this story. Henry Ford II gets stiffed by Ferrari at the last minute when Ford was planning to buy him out and then decides to take the company on an all-out war in virtually every form of motorsports in the world. The resulting GT40 ended six consecutive years of Ferrari dominance at the Circuit de la Sarthe by winning four 24 Hours of Le Mans titles of its own, in addition to creating one of the most breathtaking shapes ever to grace an automobile. The photo of the 1-2-3 finish in 1966 (above) remains motorsport legend to this day.
Porsche's first overall Le Mans winner, 1970 917K. Photo courtesy Porsche.
1970s: Porsche 917K: Allegedly the fastest car to ever run down the Mulsanne Straight, the 917K claimed the Porsche's first two titles at Le Sarthe in 1970 and 1971 and started a string of dominance that lasted through the 1990s. The 917′s thundering 4.5-litre
V-12 flat 12 engine was a monster and a far car from the first 1,100cc Porsche 356s entered just 20 years before.
1980s: Porsche 956: Between the 956 and its slightly modified successor, the 962C, Porsche claimed seven titles in 13 years, including four in a row for the 956 from 1982 through 1985. For fans of endurance sports car racing in the 1980s, the long, low and lean 956 practically defined the sport.
Mazda's quad-rotor 787B broke the mold when they won Le Mans in 1991./Photo courtesy of Mazda.
1990s: Mazda 787B and Peugeot 905: Mazda's quad-rotor-powered 787B came at a time when Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Peugeot were still putting in an all-out effort to win the race, a remarkable achievement and still the only rotary-powered and Japanese entrant to win. Peugeot's 905 won with newer rules in 1992 and 1993 that allowed for the use of 3.5-liter engines built to the then Formula 1 standard. It was a noble idea that lasted only a couple of seasons and that only Peugeot achieved maximum return on.
2000s: Audi R10 TDI: Between 2000 and 2008, Audi won all but one 24 Hours of Le Mans race. And the one race they didn't win was 2003, when a modified Audi R8 was raced under the Bentley Speed 8 moniker. The voters chose the R10 TDI, which ushered in a new era with its eerily quiet, fuel-efficient and torque-thrusting ways to the world's greatest endurance race.
2010s: Audi R18 e-Tron quattro: Although the decade is young, Audi's innovative R18 e-Tron quattro got the nod, adding all-wheel drive to their winning diesel equation by featuring a hybrid flywheel accumulator system to power the front wheels in shorts bursts. The system runs automatically and requires no active driver input.
Are there any memorable Le Mans racers you think the judges and voters missed out on? Should there be more Ferraris? Will be looking at an all Audi list in the coming decades or do you think someone else will step up and out-innovate the dominant force from Ingolstadt? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Date of Stay: February, 2014 - $10.00
Rate was $10 and had access to the hotel pool. There are individual spots on both ends but this is pretty much 2 big parking lots. 10 miles or so from Joplin and less than 2 to Seneca. No WiFi and little cell phone service although WiFi is available in the casino. All TV stations from the Joplin area come in with no problems. Only one dump station. Restrooms were extremely clean and condition. The only complaint about staying here is the non ADA shower. No bench nor any soap holders, my wife said the same regarding the women's. The ADA shower is huge and has everything. We ended up using the ADA's as it was pretty much empty. Can see it being a issue if it was full. Being a casino, I wouldn't bring the kids except a overnight stay but there isn't anything there for the kiddo's playground wise. But my boys would have a blast in the big parking lot. Can't review the pool. Would we stay here again? Yes. We camped at Whispering Woods RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo

China has purchased 110,000 metric tons of soft red winter wheat from the U.S., the Asian country's largest purchase of that type of wheat since January 2004 and likely due to a smaller domestic crop, according to the U.S. government. The wheat will probably be used for food, and is not expected to cut into China's U.S. corn purchases.
China may see its first year-on-year decline in wheat production in a decade following drought in a key wheat growing area and the spread of yield-cutting disease, say analysts. The current U.S. Department of Agriculture estimate for a 120-million-metric-ton Chinese wheat crop may be overstated by 10 million metric tons or more. Crop losses could spur China to import up to 5 million metric tons of wheat this season from all sources, double the current USDA forecast for the 2012–2013 season and up from 3 million metric tons in 2011–2012, said traders.
Early bird registration ends April 1
Facility has a capacity of 300,000 metric tons

Lady Gaga Takes A Break From The Press
On Sunday, March 18 Oprah Winfrey will give American an unprecedented look into the life of Lady Gaga, featuring the singer in a two-hour episode of Oprah's Next Chapter. The interview is shot partially in Gaga's family home in New York City, a place no camera crew has ever been invited into. In the 30-second preview clip, Gaga invites speculation on her relationship with fame when she says, "Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time."
The interview preview reveals a few other juicy tidbits that Gaga's Little Monsters will undoubtedly be interested in getting answers to, like does Gaga's mother call her Stefani or Gaga? The show will also touch on the launch of Gaga's Born This Way foundation, whose launch at Harvard was helmed by an interview of the pop star with Oprah.
This will offer a deeper look into Gaga's home life that we have ever had. It will feature the first interview including Gaga's mother, Cynthia Germanotta, who says, "Her father and I thought [Lady Gaga] had a screw loose." Gaga's parents recently opened an Italian restaurant in New York City.

Colmar to Eguisheim and home to Schwyz
Happy Australia Day! We said 'goodbye' to Colmar and headed for Eguisheim, a wonderful medieval town. We first visited Wolfberger winery, see photo, known for its fabulous Crement. They recommended I try Vintage Cellars to buy their products in Sydney, got one just up the road! You really feel you are in another world, the houses date from the 16th and 17th century and are set in streets that run in circles around the ...
Drove to Colmar
... Citron sorbet with gerwitztramier marinaded berries, yum! Washed down with a kir royal crement d'alsace. Meet Charlotte at the apartment, lots of room and great facilities. We're in the front room overlooking the town square, see photo. Went exploring the town again found the markets (brought 3 fabulous cheeses Munster, strong and creamy, Bargkass and Comte of famous building and petite Venice! Back at the apt we enjoyed a beautiful crement d'alsace with our cheese and bread, See ...
Black Forest - Gateaux
We spent New Years with relatives in the black forest and saw some very wintry scenes, day tripped to France for another stunning hillside castle (Haut-Konigsburg with its amazing views over to the Rhine/ Black forest) and cake, ate great french cheese and wine, seeing the worlds largest Cuckoo clock and icy waterfall ...
We spent 3 nights here, the site was again chosen for its locality to a Bike Park so Tom could go out for a ride, the site is in the small village / town of Orbey, the village centre is about 3 minutes away by bike but the campsite is more like 20minutes away from the centre by bike, confused? its because its up a massive hill!!
The campsite is in fact 9 miles from ...
Week 1 at Denises'. Colmar, Volgersheim, Breisach.
... Franky again to show Nerida around the "Seepark" in Freiburg. That's where I used to live for a while. Little did we know… Stefan had picked that same place independently for the reason of studying for his last exam, for the time being. He already went all around the overcrowded lake not finding a peaceful place to study in the shade. As we bumped into each other by chance, he joined us for a little while but then diligently decided to take up his plans to study ...

As UPS prepares to deliver a whopping 300 packages per second on its busiest holiday day (Dec. 22nd), the transportation giant is closed in the U.S. on Nov. 24/25th. Still, Thanksgiving makes us think of an earlier holiday this month, Veterans Day, and a UPS special delivery that struck us as an admirable way of giving back to those who serve.
That's when UPS announced that "it will award 10 franchises next year to qualified veterans and waive the franchise fee of nearly $30,000." The UPS Store commitment is part of Operation Enduring Opportunity, a federal effort announced by First Lady Michelle Obama that has commitments from various companies to hire 100,000 vets or their spouses by 2014.
"That's 100,000 veterans and spouses who will have the security of a paycheck and good career," Mrs. Obama stated, according to the Associated Press. "That's thousands of families that can rest just a little bit easier every night."
The sign-up period for a UPS franchise will start Jan. 1 and last six months. The company has already given $700,000 worth of discounts to veterans on the franchise fee.
These efforts by the White House are also being done in partnership with the International Franchising Association, which reports that the unemployment rate of veterans is 11.7 percent. For those under 25 years old, that number rises to a whopping 22 percent. Since this is a consistent trend, the IFA created a program to help veterans obtain franchises way back in 1991. Since then, more than 2,100 vets have done so through VetFran.

The lines can be cumbersome, call ahead yet, the service is fast, friendly and accurate. The sandwiches are fresh and made to order. With-out-a-doubt the best sandwich in town. I try to stop there on the way to the airport when flying to bring a sangy fro the trip. Bon appetite!
Being from N.Y. I LIKE this place! The market is great, & the food is wonderful. Stop by if nearby-
The sandwiches here are really good and the pizza is all right, but the prices are pretty high if you're on a low budget.

This place has pretty good pizza and the hot sandwiches are good too. The service is okay but the prices is a bit high for the quality.
If you are looking for a fun place to take someone for lunch AND a great deal on a huge plate of lasagna...Mona Lisa's is it!
This is a cozy restaurant with great sandwiches. Ingrediants are fresh and flavorful. Prices are great for what you get.
My husband and I have been going to Mona's for 30 years now. We love the food and you can not beat the deli. This is as close to New York Italian deli that you will get. Try the deli for picnic ideas!

This is a really relaxing place to get a great sandwich. The cheese is good and the veggies really fresh. It is fun to eat outside.
I love Little Italy. I love Mona Lisa's. Great restaurant in a great neighborhood. The Chicken Diablo one of my favorites, but its pretty hard to go wrong. Darkly lit, and cozy; great service. I think most people would enjoy Mona Lisa.
Yes, their sandwiches are the best...made with the perfected Salunto roll. Meats and cheeses are always fresh and delicious.
Love this place for lunch. They make wonderful sandwiches, and it is fun to eat outside on India St. pretty inexpensive too!

Jerry was born in the small town of Marshville, NC. Jerry's first love of music came about by his father, Jerry Sr., who was the leader of a funk band. After Jerry Sr. became saved, he began to sing quartet/southern gospel music. Jerry remembers, "I would go with my dad every Saturday as he would practice in a little shed with his group NEW BORN and they would sing for hours. I learned at a very early age to harmonize, and vocally blend with others, as well as training my ear for music." This led to Jerry's co-founding and directing his first choir at age 13, a one hundred voice choir,(Union County Youth Mass Choir). Jerry then spent the next 8 years learning different genre of music, and he fell in love with songwriting. "There's nothing better to be able to express to God how you feel," Jerry says. " There's nothing like other people telling you your music expresses the way they feel, but they couldn't put it into words." At age 23, God elevated Jerry from singing on the choir to Praise and Worship leader, and eventually, Minister of Worship and Arts. He's also done lead and background vocals for various artists, which has afforded him opportunities to sing and share the stage with other Christian artists such as: Pastor John P Kee, Vickie Yohe, Alvin Slaughter, Dr. Jeff Majors, Dr Juanita Bynum, Evangelist Judy Jacobs, Minister Vashawn Mitchell, Greg Murray, Chasing Daylight, Bishop Paul S Morton, Pastor William Murphy, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Dr. Judith McCallister, Minister Stephen Hurd, Minister Byron Cage , Donald Lawrence, The Clark Sisters, Evangelist Dorinda Clark, Kierra Sheard, TyeTribbet, BeBe Winans, CecCe Winans, and a host of others. Jerry is also a well rounded songwriter. He has the ability to write music that expresses feelings towards love and life issues. Jerry often says, "Though I am a Christian, when I am spending time with my wife, I'm not singing Yolanda Adams or John P. Kee..lol. Pure love music still exists and its a passion of mine to help reemerge it." Along with singing, writing, and arranging original music, Jerry has performed in numerous venues across the country. To fulfill the destiny that God has for his life is Jerry's focal point. He says, "Make the statement of your faith by your life."

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Play. The. Objective.
kid_gamer95 posted...
but people that play for kills only are still helping the team though
No, they're not. The example of 45-5 with no caps has been used and that's something that happens too often. Kills doesn't cap flags. Sitting in some obscure corner doesn't cap flags. Sitting all around the flag, yet not trying to capture it, even though nobody is near it, doesn't help. If you want to camp and stat pad like a puss, go play TDM or better yet, sell the game. People like that are obviously not good at the game. The only enjoyment they get out of it is when they get good stats, but they don't actually play to win or are even good enough to get good stats by moving. And they don't even try to get better. Worthless.
PSN: Spaghetti_Socks XBL: Scorpion1085
I agree. I was playimg plaza anf these guys were all running into a killzone. Oops. Run again maybe one of us will make it.
But using the minimap. If theirs 50% of my team running down one area, and our flag is left ungaurded, i can see a non-firefight route from A to C. Its likely another player can see that too. So i stragitcally hide in the corner for a player to run along.
80% of the time im right. The 20% ive waited 30seconds, leave my spot, and the other player is camping outside the flag waiting for me. Smh

There's a fine line...people running into the slaughter feeding the enemy streaks doesn't help either, even though they intend to help by caping. There's been times where I see a lone teammate capping B and instead of getting on the flag ill make sure it's clear for them. Other times I will cover that lone teammate who is on B.
kid_gamer95 posted...

This can be true. It is not always true. Potentially valid argument, but a weak one at that.
var name1 = jdak10.val('identity'); var name2 = unceramonius.val('identity');
if (name1 == name2) { alert('Not surprised...'); }
Slaying can help. It keeps the enemy in their spawn so that they can't get to the B flag. Your team is more likely to cap flags if there's killstreaks in the air, especially if it's a VSAT.
That being said, there's been times I've had a Lodestar VSAT and my friend's put up a VTOL and VSAT in the same game and my team didn't bother capping the B Flag.
I find most of the times teammates will hop on the flag while a VSAT is up but some teammates are so bad at the game that even though it shows you that the enemy is on the B Flag they'll just watch them cap it.
There is no pleasure in life. There is only a relief of pain. We have to suffer to be on top.
This is what happens when you play with random people. If you had a team of 6 playing Dom I would think it would be ideal to have 1 LMG, 1 Sniper and 4 assault/SMG users. The LMG n Sniper would give cover, cause neither one should cap B cause they are at a disadvantage in CQC while the 4 SMG/Assault users run and cap flags.
You play DOM with a bunch of randoms, you can have 2 LMG and 2 Snipers on your team leaving only 2 SMG users to cap flags and that is where the frustration comes into play.
It would be interesting to have some game lobbies that require certain guns to be used like above, a Dom lobby with 1 LMG, 1 Sniper and 4 assault/SMG and filled first come first serve, but you have to choose a roll to play.
It's certainly annoying, but the only kind of player that makes me truly rage is the guy in SnD who won't defuse the bomb when he's the last player left, just because he doesn't want to die.

no anal. Anal sex or anal intercourse is generally the insertion and thrusting of the erect penis into a person's anus, or anus and rectum, for sexual pleasure. Other forms of anal sex include fingering, the use of sex toys for anal penetration, oral sex performed on the anus

Kim Kardashian Gets Knocked Out for Charity
However, according to The Daily Mail, it almost didn't happen.
Kim's younger brother Robert was the first bout of the night. And the person who paid to fight him hit him hard, angering his sisters and family -- who stopped the event for an hour before coming back.
However, only Kim and her stepfather Bruce Jenner ended up participating after that. Scott Disick -- Kourtney Kardashian's boyfriend -- and Khloe Kardashian pulled out.
