Picture of the Week: James Dean’s Soarer GZ10!
This Teddy-Boys badged Soarer GZ10 is featuring an airbrushed photo of James Dean on the hood:
Nice Hiro Racing V1-R rims, hood fins, square side skirts and a couple of antennas make it complete!

Only a picture of the nose of the car?
Well, do you need more than that? There is so much win in only the nose of this Skyline C211 Japan:
1. Oil cooler lines sticking out of the grille and going back into the bumper!
2. Super Silhouette-like hood fins
3. Star Sharks
4. Typical early-Eighties Advan front air dam
At the rear it is a bit less exciting:
Only an Advan boot spoiler and a tsurikawa. 😉

This one is somewhere between kaido racer and bippu. I’d rather refer to it as the style Koenig created in the 80s.
The wild mix of awesome hood fins, side fins, side air intake, large wings and deep dished SSR Formula Mesh wheels just makes it an exceptional appearance at the Auto Salon!
Edit: it is a Crown JZS150

Photoshops always make your dreams come true: I always wondered what a modified Civic Type-R would look like… And this is it:
Okay the end result is not 100% realistic, but at least the hoodfins, oil cooler and blistered fender flares should be realistic enough? 😉

If Batman would have driven a Nissan Cedric 330 this is probably what it would have looked like:
I just love the sharknose slowly growing to hood fins and its side fins growing to a ducktail. Amazing how 80s styling can still be appealing! 🙂
