Back in the old days before the pandemic – in 2017, 2018 and 2019 - I visited the Italian Emilia Romagna, the cities of Modena & Maranello and thus fulfilled a childhood dream: visiting Ferrari (OK, Pagani, Lamborghini & Maserati, too…).
Seeing some of the rarest, history-charged Ferraris parading through the small streets of Modena, gathering on Piazza Roma and paying tribute to the brand‘s 70th anniversary gave you goosebumps and tears of joy.
With emotions still running hot, I had to do a rendition of probably the most iconic classic in Ferrari’s history: the 250 GTO. Certainly, I first did it in red… but seeing this bold blue-yellow painted beauty at the Museum Enzo Ferrari I had to rebuild it.
The model had its‘ debut at the local LEGO-exhibition „Hildesheimer Steinwelten“ in March 2019, together with other not yet posted models. It is a pity, but there is very limited time for LEGO at the moment.
Anyway, when Lennart Cort showed his beautiful model of a red 250 GTO, I had to shift stuff and took some time for some rather cra**y photos of mine… and it is interesting how history repeats: in May this year we had the Maserati MC12, now the 250 GTO. So let us say it again:
We think it is simply amazing to see the same car interpreted by two different builders: spot the different solutions, find the same design concepts - that's clever!
More on the moving history of the real blue-yellow GTO can be found here.

The GTO (Gran Turismo Omologata) moniker instantly calls to mind two Ferraris that have entered the collective imagination as symbols of performance. After the 1962 250 GTO, which swept the boards in GT racing categories in the 1960s and is now a highly prized collector's car, came the iconic 1984 GTO, which basically invented the entire modern supercar genre.

Ferrari 599 GTO
Last night, I arrived back home from 2 days of London.
I was a guest of Team 57 and therefore I experienced the check-in of the teams at the Trafalgar Hotel, the VIP pre-party at the rooftop of the hotel and the 2011 Gumball3000 Official Launch Party at the all new Playboy Club in London on my first day!
The second day I had breakfast at the Trafalgar Hotel with the Ballers, experienced the driversbriefing and witnessed the start from the pressbox at Covent Garden.
This was simply mind-blowing and I got some pretty nice shots too, BUT THERE'S MORE:

A Pontiac GTO convertible from circa 1970-72 and a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS share driveway space. They're both from an era in which General Motors was still the No. 1 auto maker and captured the imaginations of the car buying public.
Model year 1970 was the year in which GM finally allowed their intermediate size cars to have engines larger than 400 cubic inches. The '70 Chevelle SS, Pontiac GTO, Olds 4-4-2 and Buick GS models could then be had with the 454/455 cubic inch V8's.
Then soon afterwards in the mid 1970’s, things took a downturn. There seemed to be a ‘perfect storm’ of stricter emissions limits with lower compression and reduced power, high insurance costs, ungainly tacked-on 5 mph bumpers and declining assembly quality that made the successors to these cars seem relatively dismal compared to what they were just a few years before. Add the OPEC oil embargo to the US with its resultant long gas purchasing lines from panic buying among American consumers and spot shortages making driving only a necessary but angst-ridden activity.
In 1980, GM introduced their front-wheel-drive X-cars which proved to be less than stellar in many ways. They were certainly far from being 'cool' cars as the General's muscle cars once were.
This is one of only few photos I have of my 1965 Pontiac GTO. (option code 237)This photo was taken in 1975. The station wagon in the background was another car that I had at the time, a 1971 Chevrolet Malibu. I wish I would have kept this car, when I bought it it was 9 years old and still looked brand new (389 tri-power with 4 speed floor shift), me, being a teenager at the time, destroyed it by racing it around, painting it with gray primer and adding goofy stripes and mag wheels. Well, live and learn, I guess.

What do you guys think of the shot? I'm on the fence, not happy that the front end is underexposed...

Epic 599 GTO at Goodwood Festival Of Speed !! The owner was a very nice guy and revved the nuts off it before he left !! Personally, my favourite GTO !!
"...When the M12 GTO was launched, it came into a market saturated with ‘junior supercars’, the Porsche Boxster, various TVRs and the sporty Mercs but it elbowed its way into a market dominated by legendary names and with a power-to-weight ratio that left a Lamborghini Diablo in its rear-view mirror, the automotive world sat up and took notice..."
