In 1984 Hindustan Motors introduced a car called Contessa, which eventually made its way to start a new category in India by the name of Muscle car( not the actual Muscle car category created in the United States of America including some of their Muscle cars like Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro). Contessa was created in collaboration with Vauxhall Motors and made a collaboration with Isuzu for their petrol engines. Contessa was India's first Luxury Saloon and was nicknamed as Indian Muscle car by its fans. The production of Contessa was stopped in 2002. With great reach among the car enthusiasts, Contessa still has its own legacy in Indian Automotive History. Till Contessa, Ambassador was the flagship model for Hindustan Motors which made achievements and took a great leap in the Indian Automobile Industry.

Lamborghini Marzal


1967 Lamborghini Marzal - wheelnutofficial.blogspot.comEstoque was not the first four-seater model introduced by Lamborghini. In 1967 Geneva Motor Show Lamborghini introduced its two-door four-seater model. Marzal was based on a prototype of a straight-six cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower. The chassis was based on Miura. The doors are of Gullwing type and are entirely made on glass only with the metal on the frame. Marzal never made it to the production.

Cheetah was developed by the collaboration with Lamborghini at Mobility Technology International (MTI) in California. The partnership was made in the middle of the 1970s and both firms worked equal and because of some partnership issues the partnership with Lamborghini was canceled and later Lamborghini developed LM002 based on the Cheetah and its SUV origin tends to continue till now in the form of Urus. With no doubt, LM002 served as a great SUV which was lighter and faster than Hummer which was also produced around the same time in America.

Lamborghini Zagato Raptor

Zagato Raptor was built from four-wheel-drive Diablo. The Zagato Raptor was built by Zagato in collaboration with Lamborghini in 1996. The car comprises of a Diablo's V12 engine producing a maximum power of 500 horsepower and was having no doors in the side. Instead of the traditional way of opening the door, they designed a new way to enter the car by lifting the entire top of the body making it uncomfortable for the drive to enter the car. Like Pregunta, Zagato Raptor also remained a concept and never made to the production.

Lamborghini Pregunta


1998 Lamborghini Pregunta - wheelnutofficial.blogspot.com

Concept cars are pretty unexpected in motor shows past, as based on that Lamborghini reviled its one-off a car on 1998 Paris Motor Show and it is none other than the Pregunta. Pregunta was heavily inspired by the Dassault Rafale jet fighter. Like the jet fighter the Pregunta shares two roofs (or so-called two half-roofs) and the jet-inspired cockpit. Under the hood, the Pregunta comes with a V12 capable of pumping 530horses, and the body is built from the Diablo's platform along with the fighter jet-inspired cockpit and similar paint of the Dassault Rafale jet fighter. Unlike the Diablo's all-wheel-drive Pregunta was developed as a rear-wheel-drive car. With all the hype Lamborghini maintained it as one of its concept cars and it never made its way to production.

Lamborghini Egoista


2013 Lamborghini Egosita - wheelnutofficial.blogspot.com

What if you desperately want to drive a lethal machine all alone and feel the beast roaring through your veins, does Lamborghini has a solution for that? 
Certainly, Lamborghini said yes to this typical question by unveiling the Lamborghini Egoista on the last day of the Grande Giro tour of 2013. Lamborghini built the Egoista to mark the 50 years of its excellence from 1963. Egoista is designed to look like a mixture of a fighter jet and Lamborghini DNA. It was basically designed by the head of the Volkswagen design group Walter De Silva. Speaking about performance the beast shares the 5.2-liter V10 engine of Gallardo capable of producing up to 600 horsepower(estimated). And the interior is designed heavily based on the fighter jet's cockpit, while the driver can open the top. With all these features Egoista is one hell of a driving machine.

Lamborghini Terzo Millenio - wheelnutofficial.blogspot.com

When every car maker started their take in electric vehicles, Lamborghini also took part in and created a remarking Electric Hypercar which is so-called the "Terzo Millennio". Instead of producing a fuel-drinking junkie, Lamborghini decided to produce a hot electric car that has a Health Monitoring system to monitor the car's performance and reducing the risks of accidents to the level Zero. And the car runs by a four-wheel-drive system. It is good that car manufacturers start producing cars of all types, which makes enthusiasts and fans buy the type of vehicle from their favorite brand.

Ford vs Ferrari

Racing Story:

First of all, I sincerely thank Mr. Enzo Ferrari for making every man his own rivalry and let the fans to feel the new brand in the automobile industry and in the racing industry. Ford vs Ferrari is one of the most iconic rivalries in motorsport history, which lead to the manufacturing of legendary Ford GT 40. There's a trend by car manufacturers to sell their cars by racing their new models in motorsports by proving the capabilities of the car. One such stage is The 24 Hours of Le Mans. That's where the actual story began. 

1964 Ford GT40_WheelnutOfficial

1964 Ford GT40 and Ferrari_WheelnutOfficial

It was the time of WW2 where Ford was manufacturing bombers for the US Army. When the war ended "The Automotive Manufacturers of America(AMA)" implemented a law stating all the manufacturers in association not to participate in any form of motorsport. But Chevrolet was building a car for racing without the knowledge of the association. Soon this information broke out and it was in the paper, which made Henry Ford II(the president of Ford Motor company 1945-1960) a little serious and as a result, he decided to build a car to win the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans. 

                                         1964 Ford GT40_WheelnutOfficial
Henry Ford II started collecting information to build a car to win The 24 Hours of Le Mans. In the run for ideas, in Sebring, Henry Ford II saw a couple of Ferraris racing the tournament and decide to buy those red cars. Henry Ford II approached to buy Ferrari. After 22 days of intense negotiations, Enzo Ferrari decided to sell the Ferrari to Ford Motor Company

                                     1964 Ford GT40 and Ferrari_WheelnutOfficial
At the time of signing the agreement, Enzo Ferrari noticed that as part of this deal the Ferrari racing division will go under the control of Ford Motors. Which Enzo Ferrari didn't like and decide to turn down the deal. Enzo Ferrari was all about racing and he didn't want to work under others in his own racing division. As a result, Henry Ford II was not happy again and decided to build his own racing car and take over Ferrari's legacy in The 24 Hours of Le Mans.

                                   1965 Ford GT40_WheelnutOfficial
Henry Ford II organized a team to build a car to win The 24 Hours of Le Mans. As by Henry's order, the team started working on a prototype and which eventually came out as Ford GT40, which was the shortest car to participate in The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1964. The initial model was fast, but it was not reliable it couldn't withstand a run for 24 hours. As 24 hours of Le Mans is all about endurance and performance. In the year of 1964, Ford competed in The 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Ford GT40s. None of the cars made it till the end of the race. Ford left with nothing except failure in 1964.


Henry Ford II then hired Caroll Shelby, who was a Le Mans GT class winner. He designed the GT40 to meet it's performance level to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. So did the car managed to finish the race in 1965, 24 Hours of Le Mans, but failed to win the race. The car had a beautiful victory in The 24 Hours of Daytona race and The 12 Hours of Sebring. Though the car didn't win in the legendary race. This time also Ford left the France soil looking forward to winning the race in the next year.


It was in 1966, 24 Hours of Le Mans the history was made. Ford brought the upgraded GT40 with tremendous 3 position victory in Daytona and Sebring victory. This time Ferrari was even more eager to look what the west has brought to rage in the circuit. During the first half of the race, Ford faced a serious situation because 4 out of 8 Ford GT40s didn't perform well and broke down. Having only four Gt40s left. Ford managed to take the 1-2-3 position victory, Ken Miles leading the first position and Dan Gurney in the third position by pushing his car to the finish line. While Ferrari with no cars to complete the entire race.

That was a great victory for Ford which held the title for Four Straight years. This made the Ford vs Ferrari rivalry one of the best in the motorsport event. 50 years after in 2016, Ford had a fruitful victory in the GTE class with it's Ford GT. In 1969 Ford GT40 made the history by the first American to win The 24 Hours of Le Mans.
