Delahaye Bugnotti Roadster

Think they don't "make 'em like they used to"? Then feast your eyes on the Delahaye Bugnotti Roadster. Penned by legendary hot-rod designer Chip Foose, the Bugnotti is a fresh take on a classic shape, with wheels enclosed in the fenders and a Corvette V8 under the hood.

Intriguingly, the pontoon fenders are painted the same color as the body on one side, and chromed on the other. No word on exact price, but the last project undertaken by the revived auto marque, called the Bella Figura Coupe, sold for $250,000, so don't expect the roadster to come in any cheaper.
