Last week MCA of the Beastie Boys passed and today iconic American car designer Carroll Shelby has died too. A sad couple of weeks for me as these two were idols of mine. After a successful racing career, Carroll Shelby designed and built some of the most iconic American sports cars ever. He was responsible for the Shelby Cobra, Ford GT40, Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang and GT500 Mustang as well as the Dodge Viper. His cars were not only beautiful but incredibly fast and powerful as well, making anything he put his hands on an instant classic. In tribute to his legacy, I took out my Cobra replica today and went for a spin.
| 上周,Beastie Boys樂隊的MCA辭世了,而今天,美國汽車設計領域的代表人物卡羅爾•謝爾比也去世了。這幾周對我來說頗為傷感,因為這兩位都是我的偶像。在一段成功的賽車生涯後,卡羅爾•謝爾比設計制造了美國歷史上最具代表性的幾款跑車。他所負責的設計包括:謝爾比眼鏡蛇、福特GT40、福特謝爾比野馬GT350、野馬GT500,以及道奇蝰蛇。他設計的車不僅外型美觀,而且車速快得出奇,動力十足。但凡他經手的設計,推出即成經典。今天,我開著自己的復制“眼鏡蛇”去兜風,以此向他留給世人的遺產表達敬意。 | 上周,Beastie Boys乐队的MCA辞世了,而今天,美国汽车设计领域的代表人物卡罗尔•谢尔比也去世了。这几周对我来说颇为伤感,因为这两位都是我的偶像。在一段成功的赛车生涯后,卡罗尔•谢尔比设计制造了美国历史上最具代表性的几款跑车。他所负责的设计包括:谢尔比眼镜蛇、福特GT40、福特谢尔比野马GT350、野马GT500,以及道奇蝰蛇。他设计的车不仅外型美观,而且车速快得出奇,动力十足。但凡他经手的设计,推出即成经典。今天,我开着自己的复制“眼镜蛇”去兜风,以此向他留给世人的遗产表达敬意。 | Last week MCA of the Beastie Boys passed and today iconic American car designer Carroll Shelby has died too.
