A diabolik car

Friday, September 19th, 2008

If you’re not too tall, and you are interested in a nice-looking, exclusive car, why not try the Fiat 500 Diabolika, a customisation job by Studio Torino.

Using imagery from and referring to the classic Italian fumetto Diabolik, Alfredo Stola’s studio turned the sports version of Fiat’s classic 500 in a very cool little model, with a matte black finish, custom Pirelli tyres and Diabolik inignia and artwork on nearly all parts of the car, from the back seat to the gear stick to the ignition key and the ash tray.

Mind you, you’ll have to be quick, as the car’s production run is limited to 50 units.  The Diabolik version is designed and prepared by Studiotorino and Mycrom in collaboration with the publisher of Diabolik, Astorina and will be presented at the Paris Motor Show in October.

Amazing Facts

Amazing Facts… and beyond is a webcomic by Ted May, Kevin Huizenga and Dan Zettwoch, presenting interesting and, indeed, amazing tidbits of information about the world at large, history, inventions, your body, comics and whatever the authors are obsessed with at a particular time.  Even the fact that there’s no new strip is turned in an amazing fact, like Ripley looking in a mirror.

The most amazing fact, though, is that the host character, a weird fellow named Leon Beyond, looks quite similar, no matter who is drawing him.
