My Dashcam captured this on my way back home from work this evening. Sorry for the potato quality pic but it looked stunning in person.

So my brother-in-law spotted this car on NW 9th and Davis in Portland a few days ago. When he showed me pictures on his phone, all I could tell is that it was an AC of some sort, probably before the infamous Cobra. I finally got some time tonight to use my Google-Fu to figure out what this car was. It turns out it is a 1957 AC Ace, of which only a few hundred were ever made. In 1958 the original owner commissioned Zagato to create a one-of-a-kind lightened aluminum body so that the owner could race it in the Pescara rally. The car was later owned by Grand Prix driver Jo Siffert and at some point after his death in 1971 it became a part of the Rosso Bianco car collection in Germany. The current owners live in Portland.
I pray I get to see this car in person around town. It is a heart-achingly beautiful piece of machinery.
Nice share. That's amazing.

Mercedes-AMG announced/released their $2.7 million Project One supercar today based on their F1 car. I'm really not sold on the looks department or much about it at all, but my favorite part is that it has an amazing engine life of 30,000 miles. Excluding gas, insurance, and other repairs, operational cost for that engine is ~$90/mile.

The downward shape of the grille/front aero reminds me of this:

This is from last year. I didn't think much of it at the time, but my curiosity got me. Odds are that it's a replica.
