Concept Zero Two as a fusion of Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette

Automotive concept artist / designer Al Yasid (@yasiddesign), created the unique design Concept Zero Two. It is a combination of Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette designs.

The front end is entirely Porsche. From the headlights, the slightly longer hood with the Porsche inscription, as well as the wheel arches, everything resembles a Porsche 911. Viewed from the side, from the front windshield to the back, we can see lines pointing to the Corvette. The rear of the Concept Zero Two features wide wheel arches, a glass engine cover, a light bar that extends the entire length of the rear, as well as a bare section around the taillights and two exhaust pipes.

No matter how amazing this may seem, it’s just the imagination of a design enthusiast, not something we might be seeing on the roads anytime soon. Or maybe not ?!

The Land Rover Discovery Sport ended up on the roof in a roundabout

When we talk about SUVs, the first thing we think of is safety and power. However, no matter how true it is, even the most modern technologies cannot oppose the laws of physics. The video, taken at a roundabout in Birmingham, shows a Land Rover Discovery Sport flipping over after running into a Toyota Yaris.

After deciding to change lanes to avoid waiting, the driver suddenly presses the accelerator pedal and makes contact with Toyota. Due to the speed and angle of contact, the Land Rover rises into the air and flip over on the roof. The windows on the Land Rover were broken, the roof, front bumper and bonnet were damaged. However, the most interesting thing is that Toyota came out of this without any significant damage.

If you still think SUVs are safer in traffic, we’ll remind you of the results of the NHTSA study. According to this study, SUVs in a car accident will flip over in 20% of cases, while this probability for limousines and coupes is 10%.

California-based company Gunther Werks is a master at turning the Porsche 993 into a work of art. After the 993 Speedster Remastered, another Porsche 911 (993) went through the Gunther Werk workshop.

This specially made car is painted in dark purple with light stripes on both sides. It is equipped with adjustable suspension, carbon fiber front spoiler, centrally placed exhaust pipes, redesigned rear tail, revised differential. For safe braking and stopping, there are Brembo six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston stoppers at the rear, as well as forged wheels.

Inside, black leather and Alcantara were used, while the carbon fiber seats are upholstered in houndstooth material. Also, carbon fiber can be seen on the retro dashboard as well as on the door panels.

The Purple 911 (993) is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 435 hp (324 kW) at 7,800 rpm and 335 lb-ft (454 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via a six-speed manual gearbox.
