SEMA Preview: Cervini’s brings some Eleanor flavor to the Ford Mustang GT

2010 Ford Mustang with Cervini Eleanor body kit

The 2010 Ford Mustang is a good looking car, but the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 from Gone in 60 Seconds is a beautiful car. If you own a 2010 Mustang, first of all, sorry about the 2011, but secondly, there’s a way to try and capture some of that Eleanor styling for your modern Ford pony car.

Cervini’s has released images of its upcoming kit for new ‘Stangs, and the urethane kit includes a hood, front bumper, side skirts, side scoops, a rear valence, a ducktail spoiler, upper and lower billet grilles, a set of fog lights and a side-exiting exhaust system. The image above makes the kit come off a bit over the top, but we’ll reserve final judgement until we see it in person at this year’s SEMA show.

Currently, only the hood and side scoops are available for purchase, while the rest of the kit should be available within two months. Pricing hasn’t been announced, but the full C500 kit for 2005-2009 Ford Mustangs is available for $26,155 and in addition to the body mods, it includes go-fast/stop-fast parts that raises the power output to 535 horsepower.

Of course, there is another option if you can’t wait any longer and only have $600, you could always settle for a LIL-C500.

Video: Cadillac brings us behind the scenes of CTS-V Competition commercial

Behind Cadillac’s “The Competition” commercial for the CTS-V – Click above to watch video after the jump

Once upon a time – May 9, 2008 to be precise – the Cadillac CTS-V ran the ‘Ring in 7:59.32, and just five days later we had video proof of the event. Now that over two years have passed, the feat will leave the geek-o-riffic world of ‘Ring time watchers and be shared with the rest of America in a commercial called The Competition.

What that commercial will say or how it will be used to promote this particular bit of rather old and arcane news is to be determined, but we do know what’s behind the scenes. If you want to find out, you’ll hop on after the jump and check out the three-minute vid with director Jeff Zwart. Yes, that Jeff Zwart…

Monterey 2010: Concours d’LeMons brings oil leaks and levity

Filed under: Etc.

2010 Concours d’Lemons – Click above for high-res image gallery

Monterey’s main event – the Concours d’Elegance – is underway on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach, but before the winner takes to the podium, here’s what the rest of us poor, oil-soaked wretches can related to.

The second annual Concours d’LeMons played host to the tired, huddled masses at the Toro Regional Park, with a random assortment of French, German, Japanese and American iron that will never grace the surgically manicured lawn behind The Lodge.

We started off watching a shortened VW van doing wheelies and stoppies in the parking lot, then took in the sights and smells of a rotary-powered Beetle, an Opel GT coated in Compuware ‘Vette livery, a 1948 Davis Divan, a few Pacers, a 2CV, a Gulfed Datsun 1600 and, yes, an Aztek, complete with full camping gear.

Get an eyeful in the gallery below and stay tuned for the real winner of Monterey… soon.

Dirt 3 trailer – Click above to watch video after the jump

Ken Block might not have made it out of the first round of last weekend’s X Games Rally, but he’ll be coming with a lot more rallying in a lot more locales soon enough. Dirt 3, next in the Codemasters series of off-road drifting action, arrives in 2011 with Ken Block front-and-center. The game’s trailer was unveiled during the X Games, and on top of the plethora of climates and locales you’ll get to test yourself at Block’s own game: gymkhana. Follow the jump for a taste of what’s on the way in the game. Hat tip to Andrey!
