I have a confession to make, Fiends. I’m not the biggest fan of Citroen. Yeah, I get they do quirky things and their vehicles are so inherently French you can almost smell the baguettes just by looking at them. I just never got behind the cars the way I did Fords, Hondas and crappy British [...]
Well, well. Looks like MINI may be in for a surprise for its 50th birthday this year. Citroen just unveiled the delicious DS3, and the car looks like it’s got the goods to succeed in knocking the Cooper from its adorably functional throne. Styling has been kept pretty close to the DS Inside concept we [...]
Looking for a distilled mix of the most Fiendish news on the Web? Look no further, kids. I hope to have a daily roster of the best that’s out there Monday through Friday for the next foreseeable future, so hop the jump and enjoy the very first Parts Bin.
That’s no typo, Fiends. I said “racer” for a reason. Bring a Trailer managed to stumble across this insane Citroen 2CV set up for enduro duty on eBayMotors. As in, race for 24 hours enduro duty. If your eyeballs aren’t widening quite yet, take the time to peruse the photos to soak up the joy [...]
I. BMW will unleash the latest version of its M3 GT4 racer at the Nurburgring 24-hour race in May. The car won’t be campaigned by Munich, but by a privateer firm called Schubert Motorsport. In BMW white-and-blue livery, the new GT4 car looks even better than the last M3 racer did. [Source: WCF]
I. The 2010 Camaro SS laid down and 8m 19s lap of the Nurburgring recently. For a big honkin’ piece of American iron, you can’t really say fairer than that. Until you look at the timesheets of other swift GMs and realize that the Cobalt SS, a smaller, less powerful hunk of American iron did [...]
I. In keeping with its LP6bazillion-4 formula, Lamborghini released a new Murcielago roadster. Called the Lp650-4, it’s got 650 stallions, 487 torques and no roof. If you want one, get in line and have your million bucks ready, they’re only making 50. [Source: 0-60]
If you can’t fathom laying down a fistful of C-Notes for a classic Citroen DS3, buckle your seatbelts. A 1973 DS23 Decapatoble just pulled down the most coin of any Citroen ever sold at auction, or at least that’s what the head of Bonham’s Retromobile marketing department thinks. While that’s not exactly Guinness World Records [...]
Citroen has finally let loose a few juicy details on the resurrection of its fabled DS. Evidently the rebirth doesn’t just include one car, but rather a whole family of DS’s, the first of which will show up in early 2010. That model, called the DS3 will likely go head to head with competition like [...]
I Volkswagen will be sending the 2010 Golf R Series Turbo our way shortly after its late 2009 German debut. The new car will have a turbo’d 2-liter four and 270 hp, up from 250 in the weak-sauce R32. Supposedly it’s good for a sub-6 second zero to 60 and 155 on the big end. [...]
