Video: Bloomberg takes a ride with James Glickenhaus in the P4/5
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Videos, Ferrari, CelebritiesBloomberg recently sat down with James Glickenhaus as part of its Bloomberg Pursuits series. The 15-minute segment traces Glickenhaus' progression from movie director to money manager and finally to Ferrari collector and creator of the P4/5 Competizione. With plenty of interview footage with Glickenhaus himself, as well as a good long look at the man's $20 million car collection and a segment on his team's efforts at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, the spot is a comprehensive look at not only Glickehaus but the P4/5 as well. Glickenhaus takes some time to speak about his interactions with Ferrari, especially over using the company's name, and the sorts of ludicrous offers he's had for the road-worthy P4/5. As it turns out, one member of the Saudi royal family offered Glickenhaus a whopping $40 million for the car. He said no. You can check out the video below for a closer look at the segment.Continue reading Bloomberg takes a ride with James Glickenhaus in the P4/5Bloomberg takes a ride with James Glickenhaus in the P4/5 originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 21 Oct 2012 20:01:00 EST.

Video: Texas man buys Babe Ruth's last Lincoln
Filed under: Classics, Coupe, Videos, Lincoln, Celebrities, Luxury Lonnie Shelton of Pampa, Texas has just become the proud new owner of a 1948 Lincoln Continental once owned by Babe Ruth himself. The hardtop coupe has the dark distinction being Ruth's last Lincoln. The legendary ballplayer was struck with cancer in 1947 and, after a brief period of remission, eventually succumbed to the disease. Before that, however, the Ford Motor Company honored Ruth for his efforts at promoting Little League Baseball by giving him this '48 Continental. Ruth spent many of his final days traveling behind the wheel of the Lincoln to various speaking engagements. Shelton found the Continental in the Texas Museum of Automotive History, and while he typically favors muscle cars, the collector couldn't pass up the chance to own the significant piece of baseball's past. He won't disclose exactly how much he paid for the Babe's last ride, but you can get a closer look at the '48 Lincoln in the video below.Continue reading Texas man buys Babe Ruth's last LincolnTexas man buys Babe Ruth's last Lincoln originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 21 Oct 2012 17:32:00 EST.

Official: For real? Researchers use air, water to make gasoline
Filed under: Emerging Technologies, UK Here's a potentially really cool discovery that combines air and water, and it ain't Perrier. UK-based Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) says it has found a way for those two basic elements to be combined to make fuel. In a nutshell, the company electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen, which is combined with carbon dioxide via a fuel reactor to make a fuel-type liquid. And that fuel can be blended with gas, diesel or jet fuel. Describing this in more detail would require finding our 10th grade chemistry books (it's complicated), but the company says it's making as many as 10 liters of liquid fuel a day from a small demonstration setup. AFS is putting some money into the project - about 1 million British pounds ($1.6 million) during the past two years, according to a BBC video that can be seen below - to bring the technology to commercial scale. You can also read AFS' more scientific explanation below. Don't worry, you won't be tested.Continue reading For real? Researchers use air, water to make gasolineFor real?

Report: Small Jeep and Fiat SUVs to be built in Italy
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing, Chrysler, Fiat In a bid to fill some of its empty Italian production capacity, Fiat plans to build a pair of small SUVs at its plant in Melfi starting in 2014, according to Automotive News Europe. With most Chrysler plants running at or near full capacity, the Melfi facility will probably build the new Fiat and Jeep SUVs for export to North America. The final decision could come as soon as this weekend. The new small Jeep is expected to replace the Patriot and/or Compass, which are both produced in Chrysler's Belvidere, Illinois plant.Automotive News says Fiat sales are at their lowest since the 1970s, and the European auto market as a whole is expected to see its biggest decline since 1993. Exporting a potentially popular model like a new small SUV could help Fiat's bottom line, and the report indicates (from an unnamed source) that Fiat hopes the Italian government will reduce its corporate taxes on exported vehicles, which would make such a move even more beneficial. In addition to these new Fiat and Jeep SUVs, the upcoming Chrysler 100 hatchback could also be built in Italy at Fiat's Cassino plant.Small Jeep and Fiat SUVs to be built in Italy originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 21 Oct 2012 15:02:00 EST.

Report: Goodwood Revival-style event may come to the US
Filed under: Classics Any motoring enthusiast worth his salt knows and reveres the Goodwood Revival. While the Festival of Speed is exactly what the name states, the Goodwood Revival is an experience unlike any other. More than just vintage racing, nearly everyone in attendance dresses in period-correct clothing, and you are immersed in a different era. Now, if only we could have something like that here in the States. It appears that may be in the works, as Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance founder Bill Warner is in talks with Goodwood's Lord March to bring an event like the revival to the United States. According to the report from Auto Minded, the aim is to have an event take place in the fall, after the conclusion of Europe's vintage events. The report suggests that the Florida town of Fernandina Beach, to which Warner has strong ties, is an ideal location. The town has a municipal airport that can provide facilities for vintage aircraft as well as the layout for a race course. (The FAA would need to approve the location.) Additionally, Fernandina Beach is close to luxury resorts that befit the concours/vintage-racing set. While there are several prominent Concours events, such as Pebble Beach. Amelia Island and Greenwich, as well as racing events in Lime Rock and Monterey, the US does not have a revival-type event that throws you into the past the way that Goodwood does. Let's hope this plan comes to fruition.Goodwood Revival-style event may come to the US originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 21 Oct 2012 12:33:00 EST.

Report: Ovshinsky, nickel-metal hydride battery inventor, dies at 89
Filed under: Emerging Technologies, Hybrid Stanford Ovshinsky, the inventor of the nickel-hydride (NiMH) battery that is widely used in many non-plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles, among other amazing things, died October 17 at the age of 89 from complications due to cancer. Ovshinsky, who didn't go to college, had hundreds of patents to his credit, and a 2006 Financial Express article went so far as to compare Ovshinsky to Thomas Edison. It wasn't the only outlet to do that. Ovshinsky's discoveries, which date back to the late 1950s, helped further the development of such widely used products such as flat-panel displays, solar panels and rewritable compact discs. In 1960, he founded ECD Ovonics (first called Energy Conversion Devices), which was named a top 20 green company by Plenty magazine in 2007. An extensive obituary can be found in the New York Times here.Ovshinsky, nickel-metal hydride battery inventor, dies at 89 originally appeared on Autoblog Green on Sun, 21 Oct 2012 09:35:00 EST.
