Cool Car Guy – “Cool Car Shot” – Future Toyota Alessandro Volta

Hey Cool Car Fans,

Check this one out!

Toyota Volta 5
Here are some cool photos of a Toyota future concept vehicle called the Volta. The Toyota website at Toyota.com describes this unique vehicle as follows…

Toyota Volta 6
“In 1800, Alessandro Volta arranged zinc and copper discs in a column and invented the battery. 204 years later, Toyota has electrified automotive history with the first high-performance hybrid, named in his honor. The Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber body seats three people abreast and features “drive-by-wire” controls, allowing you to position the steering wheel and pedals in front of any one of them. And the Volta’s 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive® (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle) not only delivers 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank, but 0-60 acceleration in a mere four seconds. Somewhere, Count Volta is smiling.”

Toyota Volta 7
This is definitely a vehicle that Toyota should look at bringing to market. All Toyota has to do is look at the incredible success of the new Tesla vehicle that has yet to go into full production. I doubt that Toyota will do it since they are a bit too conservative, but I think that Toyota would get a great response with this baby like Tesla has been getting. Of course, the Tesla costs less than 2 cents per mile to operate since it’s 100% electric and the Volta is still a Hybrid.

There are cool Mustangs and there are really cool Mustangs. Mustang Cobra 7The Mustang came back with it’s sporty look in 1995, but most of the vehicles at that time were V6 motors and the smaller Pony versions like I featured in a post a couple months ago. The Mustang GT, came with a 4.6-liter V-8 that had 225 horsepower under the hood in the late nineties, the same number of horses as are in my smaller four-cylinder 2007 Subaru WRX turbo.

The ride to have for 1998 was the SVT Mustang Cobra, which you can see pictured here. SVT was the Special Vehicle Team that was created from the older Special Vehicle Operations that created the SVO Mustangs. Under the hood of this cool car is a 305 horsepower version of the Mustang Cobra 54.6 liter V-8 engine with 32 valves and a growl that makes the driver get excited that the vehicle is ready to burn up the pavement.

There is plenty of power under this baby and you find that out when you shift into first gear with the short throw gear shifter and feel the power as the Cobra explodes off the line. It’s a really fun car to drive and the yellow body gets this baby noticed. Second gear will put the new owner over most of the speed limits in the local Littleton neighborhoods and third gear is great for cruising around. Fourth and fifth gears will provide any additional power he could possibly need and still have plenty of RPM’s left for getting out of any tight situation requiring additional acceleration.

Mustang Cobra 1Not only did this sweet convertible come with a cool factor from the factory, but the original owner had equipped it with a $4,000 sound system, so that they could hear their favorite music with the top down at any speed. As I recall, it even has a remote control for the sound system, so that they could park the Mustang outside and provide the music for any outdoor event with the ignition turned to the accessory position.

It gets even better though, since the original owner also put a $5500 supercharger in it to boost the HP up to 410 instead of the 305 horsepower it normally came with making this a much more custom Mustang Cobra and a future classic.

The 1998 Mustang SVT Cobra is an extremely cool car with a great look and was a total blast to drive. The new owner will love it!

Cool Car Guy – “Cool Car Shot” – 2007 Mercedes SL55 AMG Roadster

Hey Cool Car Fans,

07 SL55 1Earlier today, I was over at Murray Motors in Denver checking out a 2007 BMW X3 for a client when I spotted this sweet 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Roadster.

The AMG series started 40 years ago, back in 1967, where two German’s set out to build the best race cars on the road. Since then Mercedes-Benz has been creating some of the finest performance vehicles in the world. The SL55 being one of them.

What’s the big deal about this vehicle? For starters, the AMG means that each engine is assembled by hand, by a single master technician. Engine tolerance can have no variation greater than 1/10th of a millimeter. And for 2006 Mercedes-Benz AMG introduced a 6.3 liter engine that is the most powerful V8 production engine that they have ever made, which is the power plant for this high performance roadster.

07 SL55 2

The SL55 is the real deal with its V8 engine delivering up to 510hp and 531 lb-ft torque. This baby will go from 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds and the way it’s equipped it came in with a final price tag of $149,855 for this spectacular piece of machinery.

Cool Car Guy – “Cool Car Shot” – 2006 Ford Mustang Pony

Hey Cool Car Fans,

Mustang Pony 6These are photos of a very cool 2006 Ford Mustang Pony that came into JFR & Associates recently on trade. It’s not the major hot rod of some of the other Mustang’s I’ve had my hands on this past year, but it’s a beauty. After all, the Pony version is a V6 coupe instead of the powerful V8 monster of the Shelby or GT, but it’s still a very cool car.

Ford describes the V6 Pony Package as being “unmistakably Mustang”. By allowing buyers to customize their ride with the distinctive “Pony Package” as an all-new option on the V6 Mustang Premium. This striking package, available on both the coupe and convertible, includes:

Pony 1Pony grille with chrome bezel and fog lamps, rear spoiler, 17″” painted cast aluminum wheel w/bright machined rim, Z-branded A/S tires & tri-bar pony center cap. It’s only an $1,195 option, but it adds some character to the Mustang for sure. This baby has the cool blue and white paint job to go along with it and really low miles.
