EC stands for Enea Casoni, an Italian gentleman responsible for bringing his vision of a bespoke supercar to life. The car is called the EC OnlyOne P8, which is a bit of a mouthful. But the styling is very to the point. The car stands out. And when a Ferrari powertrain figures into the mix, our full attention is commanded. Casoni bills himself as a race car driver, and he's entered and participated in a number of races over the years. Never to great success, but simply getting out on a track and returning a car in one piece is an accomplishment on some level. Casoni is putting his love of...

Are Car Tattoos The Next Big Trend?
For some people, there's nothing better than seeing an inked guy or gal walking down the street. To them, the body is a canvas, ready to accept the work of a needle-wielding artisan in exchange for a fistful of cash and a few hours of pain. But how about a tattooed car?

Rebellion R2K Street-Legal Race Car For Gumball 3000
Building prototypes that are technically street legal isn't anything new. Just look to the Radical RXC, Caparo T1, or Ultima GTR. But it's still a good thing to do. Case in point: the Rebellion R2K. While specs on the car are essentially nil, the car's owner Jon Olsson indicates it's a highly...

"Street-Legal" Tumbler To Take On Next Gumball Rally
Generally speaking, the Gumball Rally has become a seemingly no-holds barred on-road playground for the world's wealthy elite. We're not fans of all the on-road antics but not every Gumballer runs the event in that manner, either. Many treat it as a way to see different parts of the world in all...

From the same team building its very own Tumbler Batmobile for this year’s Gumball 3000 rally, comes this new teaser image for a custom supercar the team is also working on for the rally. That team is Saudi Arabia’s Team Galag, which has released the first image of its new supercar, the TG1. Describing the TG1 as the more difficult of the two projects, as it has to be designed from scratch whereas the Tumbler’s design is already well-documented, Team Galag’s progress so far is going smoothly and a final reveal should be taking place soon. The team is keen to keep the...
