Lancia Imperiale Concept

Independent designer David Cardoso is among those not pleased with Lancia's current portfolio and especially the new Thema.

Keiser's design proposal blends several characteristic styling cues of the original Mangusta such as the low-placed headlamps with a more angular shaped body that features a pair...

Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard

Together with the original Batmobile from the 1960s "Batman" TV series and the De Lorean DMC-12 from the Back to the Future movie trilogy, the 1969 Dodge Charger also known as the General Lee from the "The Dukes of Hazzard", is one of the most iconic and memorable vecihles in the history of Hollywood.
