Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe



Arguably there is no other car on earth that allows you to make this much of a statement. Built with an abundance of chrome, leather and wood, this car has more presence and opulence than anything else on the road, especially with the top down. The 453-horsepower V12 6.7-liter engine gives the Roller a lot more pace than you would expect from a car of this size and weight. If making a presence is worth the price tag in the region of $400,000, you may as well go for the optional brushed steel hood—you know you’re worth it.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster



This car is a muscle machine that also oozes European style. The Murcielago LP640 in yellow with the roof down will get you noticed—that much we guarantee. And if you don’t get seen, you will certainly be heard as the 640-horsepower 6.5-liter V12 engine comes complete with banshee howl. Once you want to escape your admirers, simply find a long section of winding road where the permanent all-wheel drive, based on Lamborghini's VT (Viscous Traction) System, will ensure they won’t be seeing you for a while.

Mercedes-Benz Concept Ocean Drive



The Ocean Drive Concept harks back to a bygone era of the grand tourer convertible. The four-seat convertible is classically styled with clearly defined lines accentuated by two-tone paint but balanced by large, smooth surfaces. Power comes from the 517-horsepower 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine delivering the power through a 5-speed automatic transmission. As the chairman of the Board of Management DaimlerChrysler and head of Mercedes Car Group, Dr. Dieter Zetsche said, this is a car to “dream of—a car that could make the Mercedes star dance with the stars.”

Holden EFIJY



You can’t beat this GM concept for pure front. This wild modern-day hot rod is a 21st Century rendition of Australia's most famous car, the FJ Holden, and was originally unveiled at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. EFIJY is a radical pillarless custom coupe built on a Chevrolet Corvette chassis and powered 6.0-liter V8. The Soprano Purple paintwork highlights its curvaceous body, reinterpreting the classic design cues of the iconic 1953 FJ Holden.

Ford Airstream Concept Photo: Sean Frego



Ford Airstream Concept



Not only will you be seen arriving in Ford's Airstream crossover concept, but you could hang out for a few days or hold a small party in it. The concept comes from a joint venture with the iconic trailer company that explores the way people might take road trips in the future. Its distinctive, sleek, silver bullet shape is pure Airstream, while the asymmetrical orange-bordered windows are typical of the current generation of Ford concepts. Behind the full-length and top-hinged door is a trailer-like, wraparound low-backed seat, and a floor-mounted cylindrical LCD screen showing a looping movie of flames, landscapes and abstract images.

Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concept Photo: Rod Hatfield



Chevrolet Camaro Convertible



This hunk of honest American muscle car puts a modern twist on a proud heritage. After the enthusiastic reception the hardtop Camaro Concept got last year, it was a real no-brainer for Chevy to create a convertible. With its tri-coat paint and gray sport stripes paying homage to one of the best remembered parts of Camaro’s illustrious history (the 1969 Hugger model), and a torquey V8 under the hood, this just has to be fun to roar up in. Proof that there are still times when only genuine Detroit metal will do.

Changfeng Hunan Rhombe



Okay, this may not be the kind of entrance everyone could pull off. But you would get noticed as you arrive in this concept that is the most ludicrous rendition of a car that we have ever witnessed. It has four wheels, but they’re not quite where you’d expect them to be. Two are located in the middle of the car and then there’s one each at the front and rear. The front and rear wheels are for steering and the central ones are for traction. The car is will be on top by the coming 2 years .]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/60846/hilton-head-concours-d039elegance-less-than-a-week-away Fri, 26 Oct 2007 14:31:50 +0000 ashleycnsg 60846@/forum/discussions

Bruce Griggs “Performance Facts” Chassis Seminar

Dispelling the Myths of High-Powered Rear-Drive Chassis Dynamics



Bruce Griggs has over 40 years experience in motorsports, racing, building and modifying

cars that win. His engineering experience and the cars and parts he produces have netted

many victories and championships in a variety of racing venues from SCCA, and NASA to

USAC and NASCAR, as well as daily drivers that ride better than stock yet handle as well as

the best race cars. Although a Road Racing Mustang specialist of late, the subjects he will

discuss applies to all forms of rear drive chassis performance.

Mr. Griggs will present a primer on vehicle dynamics, and concisely explain why his cars

work so well. Admission is $35.00 in advance, and $50.00 at the door. However it is free to

the dealers and owners of GR40 Mustangs. No literature will be supplied. It is

recommended that you take notes if you wish to learn the subject well enough to benefit from

it. The seminar should consume 3 to 4 hours, depending on questions and resulting

discussions.
