Spyker C12 Zagato

Spyker cars aren't exactly known for their subtlety.  In fact there are probably a lot of people that would say all Spyker cars belong on this blog.  However, I believe that for Spyker cars the beauty is in the details.  It may be overwhelming at first, but the more you look at them the more everything tends to meld together cohesively.  The same could be said for the Pagini Zonda.

However, the Zagato bodied Spyker C12 crosses the line in my opinion from fabulous to fugly.  The front end isn't too bad - it's a sleeker interpretation of the Spyker themes.  As you move back you meet some broad hips, but they're sleeker than similar treatments on recent Zagato bodied Maseratis and Ferraris - they looks less bloated and more muscular.

However the seemingly aquatic inspired rear end treatment is excessively overwrought and vomit inducing.  It's gigantic taillights and venting/tail pipes that look like chrome gills are more fitting to a Mitsuoka Orochi than Spyker's predominantly aviation inspired cues.

The Torino Lutteral

This Argentinian atrocity has an interesting past. Industries Kaiser Argentina (IKA) is an Argentina based subsidiary of the North American Kaiser Motors, formed in 1956.  Initially they sold slightly modified Jeeps and Kaiser Manhatten, expanding to sell modified Renault cars post 1959 (after which they became known as IKA Renault).  They sold a variety of modified Jeep and AMC products in the 1960s before being completely bought out by Renault in 1970's to become Renault Argentina.  To make matters even more confusing, they were also associated with Alfa Romeo in the early 1960s, buying the body models for Alfa Romeo models and producing cars that were mirror images of those sold in Italy...

Their most famous car was the Torino, which was essentially an AMC Rambler redressed by Pininfarina.  While this was a very attractive car, something went wrong after the Renault buyout.  Renault Argentina decided to continue to produce the Torino due to it's popularity, becoming the only non-Renault based car in it's lineup.  In doing so a facelift destroyed it's pretty lines, and all bodystyles adopted this furrowed brow look with rectangular headlights.  A revised coupe called the Lutteral appeared with a strange fastback reminescent of a homemade 1964 Plymouth Barracuda - in 1973.  A sad end for what were originally very pretty cars.
