The Subaru BRZ might be most appreciated for reintroducing the adjectives “small,” “light” and “fun” to those who prefer not to have a convertible top with their Japanese sports car. Yet, as has been covered before, it’s a neat example of packaging, with Subaru engineers...

As impressive as the Shelby 1000 is, someone at Shelby apparently thought 950 horsepower wasn’t good enough. With a few clicks of the mouse, a photo of one of the muscled-up pony cars was given a little drama to boost excitement.

A design studio and contract manufacturer, when Pininfarina builds a car it’s typically under another brand’s auspices. That could change, however, with the Cambiano.
