HB Coupe: Awesome Classic Styling with Modern Go

Categories:

General Discussion

An old-time looking car with modern performance would be kind of awesome, wouldn’t it? Well, thanks to the Huet Brothers you can have both. HB takes a BMW 1 series, modifies it, then sticks a dead sexy body on it and sells it to you. You can get three iterations of the car. The first is the HB Coupe; which is kind of the daily driver, soft, but fun car that your average suburban car guy would buy. Then there is the RR which steps up to some carbon fiber goodies, a little lighter weight and sharper tuning, but still pretty road capable. Lastly there is the race, which comes with giant GT wing, other aero parts, and a fully tunable suspension. All three look amazing.

Engine choices are a 220hp 4 cylinder diesel, 306hp inline six, or an M-spec 330hp inline six that will rocket you to sixty in 3.8 seconds.

For all the details you’d ever want to know head on over to the Huet Brothers site.

I know we’ve talked a lot about the Dart in the last few months, but it’s an important car for Chrysler and it has potential to make a big impact on the market. It’s also going to be used as an introductory platform for some new tech. So, today I got a monster of an email from Chrysler about the new engines and transmissions that are available in the Dart, and I thought I’d pass it on because it’s interesting.

In what is a long and storied history of cars we want in the US but don’t get today we find out about the Audi RS4 Avant. When Audi puts an RS badge on a car it’s going to be good, like rocket on four wheels good and the RS4 Avant does not disappoint with it’t 450hp 4.2l V8. This is good enough to get this grocery getting to sixty in 4.7 seconds. Not bad for a station wagon. I’ve been accused of being a secret German because of my love for big German cars and this car is just another one to add to that list. Here in America if you want something big that can haul a family and stuff you have to get a giant SUV. In Europe you can get awesome cars like the RS4 Avant. Come on what are you choosing to haul your family? A Kia Sorento or an Audi RS4 Avant?

Hit the jump for the whole press release and a few more pictures from Audi.
