Brimstone Quadracycle – Quad Rod
By Bill McGuire Photography by Wes AlIison Good news, HOT ROD readers. You just thought you were crazy. In truth, you're only mildly colorful. Oh sure, you've often reflected on how your taste in transportation trends toward the outlandish, if not the extreme.

However, when it comes to over-the-top road vehicles and the mentally questionable commitment required to construct them, you'd have a hard time matching Joe Skonecki. Just look at what he ...
The future of the Bugatti Veyron
The Bugatti Renaissance design project is designer John Mark Vicente’s vision for the supercar that will replace the (al)mighty Bugatti Veyron. Since the concept has really large shoes to fill, it works hard to carry the virtues of the Veyron along.

An interesting design exercise, but I wonder if Bugatti would consider a direct successor to the Veyron. More images ...

This was not, however, the RPU's first trip to the GNRS. The car was there the year before in unfinished bare metal, and the year before that as a finished frame-both times in the display booth for the ...

The company is legendary for producing some of the best sports cars in the world. The original Bugatti failed with the advent of World War II, but the name has been resurrected twice, most recently under the Volkswagen group.
