When it comes to cars, I love 4 doors. And just like the saying goes, moe does, mo…hose(lol). I love sedans because of the backseat space, that I dont have to lean my seat to make way for the third wheel to exit and how convenient it is to buckle my kid in his seat. For today’s NosWeds, I would like to share one of the heaviest but also one of the sickest sedans ever built. the Alpina B12 5.7.

the Alpina B12 was based on the 750i  that had the v12 engine. Alpina increased the displacement from a 5.4 litre to a 5.7 litre. It produced 387 bhp from a 326bhp, for a car that weighs more than 2 tons, definitely needs all that power.

Lately I’ve noticed a significant number of Porsches every time. Driving around town, you will never miss spotting a Porsche. May it be an S, a Turbo, a Cayman, a Panamera or a GT2 or 3 on a nice day. There’s one Porsche I would love to see one time. Something different, a porsche that does have the same arched back 2 door but without the round head lights glaring at you.

In the late 70’s, Porsche offered a Flachbau (slantnose) 930 under the special order program. It was basically a 930 but with a 935 style slantnose instead of the regular 911 front end; It was the “Ultimate 930” the this model had an upgraded body and a 330 bhp engine. Each Flachbau unit was handcrafted by remodeling the front fenders. The flachbau design was employed to provide greater aerodynamics by reducing drag drom the front. The conversion extended the side skirts out, with wider rear flares, scooped vents and flip-up headlights up front with functional louvres. In 1979, racing company DP motorsports came out with a modified flachbau 935 wich brought home the bacon in a couple victorious races. The flachbau is definitely a one of a kind porsche; definitely a rare unconventional beauty on its own.

What is an classic Japanese car without the SSR Longchamps?  I always wanted a set.but then i had to buy a car to slap it on to. They came in different width and varieties; some had the clean lip finish and some came with the riveted type. These wheels are fairly common to the old school bosozoku style and drift community.
