Man Builds 1930s Style Race Car
The 1930s were a special time within the automotive industry as many new facets of automobile design began influencing production. One of the most recognizable movements in the world of cars was the improvement of performance across the various brands in the industry. From Duesnbergs to BMW, these vehicles were getting faster, lighter, and better looking as engineers were given a lot more leeway in creative design. One event which allowed companies from across the globe to showcase their car's performance was racing which is why it became such a popular sport at the time.

This racing enthusiast decided to take things into his own hands, using his passion for speed to build something extraordinary. While the exterior of his prized driving vehicle looks like an abandoned race car, every piece of this vehicle was built for speed. Under the vehicle sits an original 1930 Nash chassis, a popular choice for any racer during the first golden era of automotive racing. The rest of the car was specifically picked out and even designed by the owner, who worked with someone he described as a 'metal artist' to make the body. Even the side-exit exhaust pipes seem to be bespoke pieces of custom design and engineering that make the car one of a kind.
Under the hood is a massive straight-eight engine that produces a pretty hefty power and torque figure fit for any vintage racing course. It all started with one chair fixed to the chassis, eventually leading to a birdcage body and, finally, a fully built racing vehicle. Spinning tires is likely no issue for this classic high-performance race car which is why it has earned its own name and reputation for fun. Deemed 'Dutchie' after the driver's national heritage, this particular hand-crafted sports car has the sort of personality and style which has become rare in today's world of cars. All of this makes it one of the coolest custom vehicles in modern car enthusiast culture, and we hope to see a lot more like it in the years to come.

Car shipper says US tariff haze still affecting auto trade flows
By Marie Mannes STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Europe's car exporters are still struggling with uncertainty over U.S. tariffs despite last month's trade deal, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, the operator of one of the world's largest car-carrier fleets, told Reuters on Tuesday. The U.S. and European Union struck a trade deal in late July that saw U.S. import tariffs on most goods from Europe, including cars, set at 15%. Cars had initially faced a 27.5% levy after U.S. President Donald Trump hiked tariffs this year. However, the new 15% rate has not yet been implemented for cars, meaning that Wallenius customers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo Cars still face the higher rate. The absence of an executive order from Trump lowering the autos tariff has left the industry holding its breath for potential last-minute changes. "So far we actually do not know exactly what the tariff level will be. Our customers do not know either, so it is too early to say what they'll do," Wallenius CEO Lasse Kristoffersen said following the company's quarterly results. While carmakers raced earlier this year to ship cars to the U.S. ahead of the tariff hike to 27.5%, the opposite happened at the start of the second quarter, Kristoffersen said. "We saw that they held more back in the start of the second quarter but that volumes increased throughout the quarter," he said.

BMW Says Its Revival of Rolls-Royce Was a Secret Operation
BMW Says Its Revival of Rolls-Royce Was a Secret Operation originally appeared on Autoblog. BMW may make luxury cars, but a Rolls-Royce is a Rolls-Royce To many people who are and aren't car enthusiasts, the British ultra-luxury brand Rolls-Royce is recognized as one of the most well-known brands producing some of the most luxurious cars on the road. Today, they're owned by another name known for uncharted luxury and refinement: BMW. The Bavarians revived the brand in the early 2000s by creating modern marvels like the Phantom, Ghost, and Cullinan, which combine opulent old-world elegance in a package tailor-made for the well-to-do in the 21st century. As part of BMW North America's 50th anniversary, the company is sharing a series of stories from its illustrious history previously known only within Bavarian Motor Works. One such story recounts BMW's revival of Rolls-Royce, as it saved the brand in a fascinating and secretive revival with a twist worthy of a spy novel. BMW took advantage of a major technicality In 1998, defense and engineering firm Vickers PLC sold Rolls-Royce and Bentley to Volkswagen for £430 million ($703 million), as it 'lacked the expertise or the resources needed to modernize the cars' sold under the respective marques, per BMW. In The Complete Book of BMW, Tony Lewin wrote that BMW offered to buy 20% of Rolls and Bentley in the early 90s, but Vickers offered to sell the entire automotive operations, which Beemer refused. However, BMW kept a working relationship with Vickers by sharing its expertise, including some of its tech, components, and testing facilities, resulting in the 5 Series-based 1994 Bentley Java concept, the BMW V12-powered Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph, and the BMW V8-powered Bentley Arnage. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article Though it seemed BMW would have to say goodbye to its relationship with Rolls-Royce, they discovered a technicality that it could take advantage of. Volkswagen had purchased the intellectual property, including its engineering and design documents, in its multi-million Euro transaction; it did not have possession of the Rolls-Royce name. Coincidentally, the Rolls-Royce trademark and the famous double-R logo actually belonged to Rolls-Royce PLC, the aerospace company, a BMW business partner. For just £40 million ($66 million), BMW secured the trademarks, while Volkswagen agreed to sell BMW the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament design and grille shape trademarks in a separate agreement. Re-starting Rolls had to be done in secret, according to BMW executives With the rights to the Rolls-Royce name in hand, BMW needed an all-new car, a factory, and a dealer network in order to get the "new Rolls-Royce" up and running. Unabashed Anglophile, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, BMW's then Head of Worldwide Product Planning, led the charge. Determined to keep the brand rooted in England, he struck a deal with the Duke of Richmond to build a facility on the Goodwood estate in Chichester, home to the Festival of Speed. But until January 1, 2003, Volkswagen held the rights to sell Rolls-Royces, and BMW couldn't legally use the Rolls-Royce name on a car. So Kalbfell's team worked in a secret London office, supported by engineers in Munich and Gaydon. Per BMW, 'BMW hadn't acquired any of Rolls-Royce's pre-existing intellectual property such as engineering or design documents, leaving the team free to create a truly new automobile.' As a result, BMW designed a Rolls that was unlike any other Rolls. The new Phantom featured an aluminum space frame, a 6.75-liter BMW-based V12 tuned for massive torque, and design work by Ian Cameron, who reimagined the iconic grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy to be sleeker, safer, and theft-resistant. This level of secrecy extended to the car's reveal. Robert Austin, the then North American Communications Director, recalled that in order to show the cars to prospective dealers, BMW rented out industrial buildings with 'no signage, just a number on the door,' to show the new Phantom to a tightly-controlled audience. 'We set up three 'closed rooms' across the US. One was outside Miami, another in Culver City, California, and the third in a warehouse in Lyndhurst, New Jersey,' Austin said. '[…] Upon arrival, you'd be served coffee in a nice reception area, and then you'd be taken into a room where you'd see the story of Rolls-Royce. Finally, the lights would go out and we would reveal the new Phantom, long before anyone had even seen a spy photo of the car. It had a truly James Bond-like quality, and people loved it.' The wraps officially came off at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. 'Most of the people at the show were kind of awe-struck,' Austin said. 'It was more than they expected, physically overwhelming. But everyone had to admit that the new Rolls-Royce was beautifully built and exquisitely finished.' At $324,000, it wasn't built for the average car buyer, but perfect for those with mansions, CEOs, celebrities, and anyone who wanted 'the best car in the world.' Customization was the key. Each Phantom was bespoke—buyers could choose any color, commission mother-of-pearl inlays, or have a monogram stitched into the upholstery, features that were invaluable to high earners in sports and entertainment. 'You know why so many people in the music business love Rolls-Royce cars?' Austin said. 'Because it's virtually silent inside, and it's got a killer audio system.' Final thoughts This story raises many questions based on hypothetical scenarios, but mainly, it would be curious to know what would happen if BMW hadn't repurchased the Rolls-Royce trademarks in 1998. Would the next Rolls-Royce after the Silver Seraph be something that is based on a Bentley Continental GT? We may never know, but it's nice to hear the story from the storytellers who were there to see it for themselves.

Acura Kills The TLX After Only Selling 7,478 Of Them In 2024
While the Acura Integra just got a mid-cycle refresh, the larger TLX will soon get the axe. Automotive News reports the midsize sedan will end production by the end of the month, and since it's already July 23, that means the TLX only has days to live, not weeks. RIP in peace, Acura TLX. Granted, it isn't like the TLX was a huge seller. Last year, Acura only sold 7,478 examples in the U.S., down from 16,731 sales in 2023. Meanwhile, 2023 was a much better year for the TLX than 2022 was, when it still only found 11,508 buyers. For comparison, BMW sold 25,315 examples of the 5 Series here in 2024 and moved 22,401 units in 2023. Considering how poorly it's been selling, it isn't terribly surprising that Acura would decide to pull the plug. That said, it doesn't sound like it's entirely the TLX's fault. In order to prep its Marysville Auto Plant to build electric vehicles, Acura moved Accord, Integra and TLX production to the same line, which likely limited how many TLXs it could build. "Those production changes are crimping their sales because they can't build, and with an Accord facelift on the horizon, they have to decide whether to invest in both vehicles or just let the TLX go," Stephanie Brinley, associate director of S&P Global Mobility, told AutoNews. Read more: These Are The Worst Transmission Recalls Of The Last 5 Years Only A Matter Of Time Then again, the deck was also stacked against the TLX's success, even before the first example rolled off the assembly line. It was, after all, a new sedan in a world that no longer likes sedans. Instead, most buyers want a crossover of some sort. Even if you're just looking at luxury vehicles, sedans reportedly dropped from 22% of the market in 2022 to 18% in 2024. "The migration to utility vehicles has just not stopped, even in the luxury segment," Brinley told AutoNews. "Luxury sedans are still more popular in the luxury segment relatively than they are in the mainstream segment, but even so, the share keeps dropping." The other issue, of course, was that even though the TLX and Acura's performance version, the TLX Type S, were pretty darn good cars, they both competed in seriously crowded segments with long-established players, as well as newcomers such as the Cadillac CT5 and Genesis G80. And while you could expect the TLX to cost less to maintain and repair in the long run, it struggled to stand out. Sure, it came with a fancy all-wheel drive system and didn't cost quite as much as some other cars in the segment, but clearly, that wasn't enough to bring in a steady stream of paying customers. Then again, prices on used TLX Type Ss are already getting down into the low $30,000 range, so maybe the upside here is that you'll soon be able to pick up a pre-owned, all-wheel-drive TLX with 355 horsepower in the mid-to-high twenties. So at least there's that. It's just too bad Acura didn't offer it with a manual transmission. Want more like this?
