Fans of video gaming might associate the letters GTA with a long-running series of mayhem and madness - and more than a little automotive hoonage. But in this case it’s the name of a Spanish motorsports team that runs a pair of cars in the Formula 3 championship. Racing is a great way to build a reputation, but to reach a global audience, a street car is the only way to go. That’s why GTA Motor is trying its hand at building a one - a 700hp, €600,000 race car for the street, to be precise.
GTA hopes to build 99 units per year and has...

One of the more stunning concept cars set to debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show won’t be the creation of some overpaid and stuffy professional designer.

This will be the fifth year in a row students from IED are showcasing a new concept at Geneva, and...

Starting from all the rumors going around lately about a possible baby Ferrari, Idries Omar designed this modern looking Ferrari, at the same time trying to keep the Italian legacy. Being a mid-engine rear wheel drive, Idries Omar was able to give the car a really aggressive stance.
I designed this car originally as a Dino concept. But the name didn't compliment the design. So I went for something more Ferrari. Ferrari F250. I think it's works well with the car. The number 250 which comes from the legendary 250 GTO.
