Created for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), the Nautilus car was conceived as Captain Nemo’s road-going machine and became one of the wildest practical props of its era. Production designer Carol Spier oversaw the build, using a stretched Land Rover fire appliance chassis fitted with a Rover-sourced V8. The finished car measured roughly 22 feet long, rode on six wheels, and wore a hand-formed fiberglass body covered in ornate Indian-inspired detailing, from elephant heads to sculpted temple-style trim. Hydraulic suspension allowed it to rise and lower on cue, adding to its otherworldly presence on screen. Two working examples were built for filming, both fully drivable.

It’s called an Auto-mobile.

In the 1980s, Porsche tested the 959 prototype in the harsh winter landscapes of Norway and Sweden.

Imagine absolute silence. Just ice, wind... and a prototype destined to rewrite automotive history.

The Porsche 959 was taken to the Arctic Circle for one purpose: to push its newly developed all-wheel-drive system beyond every limit. Drifts across frozen lakes, impossible climbs, sub-zero temperatures. Every second of those tests turned raw data into pure engineering brilliance.

In those extreme conditions, the 959 wasn’t just tested. It was refined. It was forged. It was crowned. From that frozen laboratory emerged a supercar that would influence entire generations of

Porsche engineering, an icon that still makes enthusiasts’ hearts race today.
The cold didn’t stop it. It made it legendary.

Lewis Hamilton & Mercedes-Benz W124 E500 👑

The 500 E was created in close cooperation with Porsche. With its engineering department being fully occupied with the development of the new S-Class, Mercedes-Benz commissioned Porsche in 1989 to redesign the W124 chassis to fit the 5.0L V8 used in the SL into it, along with the necessary changes on the suspension system and drive train - Wolf in sheep’s clothing!
