The other day I blogged about this cool computer rendering of a 21st-century hot rod. Yeah well, screw renderings–this one’s real! This car was designed for SEMA by GM Performance Parts and Race Car Replicas, and unlike the last hot rod I drooled over, this one is packing a proper drivetrain. Under that long sleek bonnet lies a 6.0 liter (most likely the LS2) putting out a modest 400hp. In my opinion it doesn’t look as cool as the Delithium, but real beats rendered every time. Check out the rest of the gallery over at Jalopnik.

Yet Yamauchi-san keeps pushing the envelope and testing his skills. He recently designed a fully functional concept car for Citroen, based on the car that appears in the game. I’m not going to discuss the car as a whole–it’s already been all over the net. What I want to focus on is what is quite possibly the sexiest mirror design ever. How long until we can get these aftermarket?
These mirrors are brilliant!

Even though this “boat tail” speedster screams “I’m packing a big block V8,” Bo envisions his creation sipping instead of guzzling. More…
