The previous version of this model I posted was classy and restrained. Well then, 'tis about time to take a U-turn and go bonkers... HotWheels style!
Those old console pieces mesh flawlessly with the mudguards' curvature to make an epic blower. Who needs visibility either way? .)

Completely new body in very modern style. The look of car reminded some critics of a bath tub, and it consequently gained the soubriquet "Taunus Badewanne". At a time when competitors boasted that all four corners of the vehicles were visible from the driver's seat, the new Taunus instead offered a streamlined form. However, in Germany the concept of streamlining in cars was associated with narrow passenger cabins reminiscent of the 1930s and of the still popular Volksagen Beetle. The new Taunus, however, provided greater interior width than its predecessor despite being no wider on the outside. Although the 1.7 litre version was launched with the same 60 PS power output as the outgoing model, the new model was a full 10 km/h (6 mph) faster, which was attributed to improved aerodynamics and a lighter bodyshell.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Tonbridge West Yard.
Date : 08/09/1986.
Type : 26 ton capacity Ferry Open Tube Wagon.
Weight : 40 t GLW / 14 t Tare.
Number : 21 70 609 4 044-2 (B 733224).
Number Series : 21 70 609 4 040-x to 21 70 609 4 059-x (B 733220 to B 733239).
Builder : 1959 by British Railways Darlington Works.
TOPS Code : ZDX (ex OIX).
UIC Code : FFs.
Designation : TUBE / BATTERN.
Lot No. : 3259.
Diagram No. : 1/449.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
These Ferry Tube wagons were formerly revenue fleet vehicles and coded OIX. The main difference between this batch and the Standard Tube wagons coded STV was the fitting of two side doors rather than a central one and the requirement for UIC standard buffers and air brakes. Hence they were dual braked from new in a time when BR was largely a vacuum braked freight network. By 1982 the bulk of the fleet had been transferred to the BR departmental fleet and coded ZDX. Some reverted to their BR numbers in the B 733xxx range while others retained their UIC numbers. The UIC vehicles were retained to allow wagon parts for UK registered wagons crippled abroad to be conveyed into Europe via the Dover-Dunkerque train ferry. Hence this vehicle is lettered for the MEs RSE (Mechanical Engineers / Rolling Stock Engineers). On this occasion the wagon was in use conveying wagon spares to the C&W Sidings in Tonbridge West Yard.

As Eclusa expanded across the Central Steppes, their security situation shifted from defending an small urbanized state to protecting a thousand kilometers of grasslands. In response, an exiled Osiron racing company (based in Eclusa after the YSSR invasion) designed the Steppe Attack Vehicle. It's small, speedy, and completely unarmored, but its superior mobility allows troops to make lightning-quick raids against supply lines or other vulnerable assets. This model is shown armed with a Zuritanian ATGM, but the majority of SAVs carry a heavy machine gun and a simpler unguided rocket launcher. Early test versions were also fitted with recoilless rifles, but the force from firing was still enough to flip the buggies over, so they were abandoned. SAVs sometimes operate in conjunction with motorcycle units, which are even more mobile at the expense of armament.
It's one of these! I rendered this in Stud.io.

Due to the increasing number of light utility vehicles being knocked out in operations outside the wire, the Eurusian Army requested a new type of armoured combat vehicles. Called the CCAV (“see-cav”, Close Combat Armoured Vehicle) the GZ 560 is bigger and heavier than its predecessors, but it offers better protection for its passengers and crew as well as increased carrying capacity and firepower.

The Romeo Ferraris Cinquone S is to a Fiat 500 Abarth as an Alpina or RUF is to a BMW or Porsche – externally similar, but legally a fully homologated road car separate from the vehicle that spawned it.
For more than 50 years, Romeo Ferraris has been tuning road cars, competing in various motorsport series around the world and – just because it’s cool – racing offshore powerboats. The eponymous Signor Ferraris founded his company in 1959 as a humble engine-builder. He quickly diversified into tuning and racing, forming close relationships with Fiat and BMW.
Romeo’s son Mario has since taken over the reins of the family business. Now based in Opera, near Milan, the company continues to race and tune road cars. With the Cinquone S, Romeo Ferraris is now a car manufacturer in its own right.
The Cinquone is available in three states of tune: a 158bhp entry-level version, a 207bhp S (driven here) and a range-topping Corsa model, which puts out a decidedly punchy 245bhp. With a kerb weight of 1030kg, the S has a power to weight ratio of 204bhp/ton.
All versions are remapped with Ferraris’ own software, while the more potent models also get a bigger turbo, an upgraded fuel injection system and a more freely flowing exhaust.
The latter two are capable of out-sprinting Fiat’s own Abarth 695 Biposto – 0-62mph takes a claimed 5.7sec in the S, and top speed is a quoted 144mph.
Taking an Abarth 500 as the starting point, Romeo Ferraris makes extensive modifications throughout, applies a new chassis number and reissues registration documents.
The homologation process is an expensive and arduous one made necessary by Italy’s draconian legislation that prohibits the modification of components away from OEM specification. In simple terms, Romeo Ferraris couldn’t legally sell tuning components in its homeland for road use, so it instead built a modified Abarth 500 to its own specification and homologated the thing.
It looks impossibly wide and pugnacious on the road, like an irritated bull terrier. It’s certainly the most aggressive 500-based road car we’ve ever come across; its gender realignment has been more comprehensive than Dame Edna Everage’s. The bespoke bodykit adds 26.6cm to the car’s overall width, with the arches filled by 18-inch wheels on a wider offset. The Cinquone is certainly not all skirt and no balls, though – a great deal of work has gone into the drivetrain and chassis as well. The suspension has been uprated with Bilstein dampers – developed specifically for the Cinquone – and Eibach springs, while the brakes are by Brembo.
With 207bhp from a 1.4-litre engine there is, naturally enough, a degree of lag in the lower reaches, but it’s not as marked as one might expect. From 2000rpm there’s a useable dose of torque, but from a little over 3000rpm the turbo really starts boosting and the car pulls very hard indeed.
Fiat’s own ludicrously expensive but hugely fun Abarth 695 Biposto is probably closest in spirit. Tick all the option boxes and the price approaches £50,000, but the open-gate dog-ring gearbox, polycarbonate windows, a data logger and other race-inspired components add immeasurable levels of theatre to the driving experience.
The company is now selling the Cinquone internationally and has a distributor in the UK – and you’ll pay about 60,722 euros (£44,700, as of March 2015) for the privilege.

After 17 years in Germany, 59003 returns home to the UK!
In appalling lighting conditions, and in the midst of heavy rain, it is hauled by 20311/314 from Immingham Docks to Eastleigh for overhaul for use by GBRf.
It ran with a number of 259003 in Germany, but seemed to be rarely used in recent years. Looking rather battered, the livery is that of Heavy Haul Power International, an open-access operator in Germany who have a couple of 66s, and also a Euro-sized Powerhaul loco in matching colours. The Yeoman number/nameplates are still attached.

Again a model built in few hours, this time mostly because someone said that it is impossible to do the panoramic windscreen in this scale - so naturally, I had to check if this is true.
Not that I am satisfied by the rest of the car anyway... they're just not my thing ;)
Can you guess which one did I try to make?

Edward M. Murphy of the Pontiac Buggy Company began producing Oakland cars in 1908. On April 9, 1909, Oakland was purchased by General Motors, which had been organized just seven months earlier. Under GM, Oakland became an upper-medium priced car that sold well during the teens and into the 1920s.
In 1926, Oakland started building the lower-priced Pontiac as a 'companion car.' The relatively inexpensive 6-cylinder Pontiac was an immediate success and quickly overshadowed the more costly Oakland. The last Oakland was built in 1931. More than one million Oaklands had been produced by that time.
All 1929 Pontiacs and Oaklands featured a chrome divider bar that vertically split their radiators visually.
The Oakland Sedan listed for $1,245 - about one-third more than a comparable Pontiac. Its 117-inch wheelbase was seven inches longer than the 1929 Pontiac. Oakland production for 1929 totaled 50,693 cars.

A landaulet or landaulette is a car body style similar to a limousine, but with the passenger section covered by a convertible top. It was based on a carriage of similar style that was a cut-down (coupé) version of a landau. Landaulets are usually used by public figures in formal processions. (Wikipedia)
Gärdesloppet, or Prins Bertil Memorial:
Prince Bertil Memorial takes place each year in Stockholm, Sweden, in honour of Prince Bertil, uncle to Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf. The Prince was a race-car driver in the 1930s, using the pseudonym "Monsieur Adrian" to placate his disapproving father, later King Gustaf VI Adolf. Prince Bertil continued to act in the monarchy's best interests by forgoing marriage to his British girlfriend, Lilian Craig. Under Swedish law, which has since been changed, such a union with a commoner would have rendered him ineligible to serve as regent, should the need have arisen, to Carl Gustaf, son of Prince Bertil's deceased older brother. The Prince finally married the patient Lilian in 1976, three years after nephew Carl Gustaf was safely on the throne.
