There are plenty of reasons to love this time of year. Good food, warm garages, time with friends and family and the traditional gift exchange all go a long way toward making December a little more bearable, but for us, it’s the music that really sets this season apart from the rest. Just after Thanksgiving, we start getting down to everything from traditional tunes like Bing Crosby’s rendition of “Silver Bells” to slightly less conventional songs like Everclear’s “I’ll Be Hating You For Christmas,” but we officially have a new favorite.

The creative souls at DMAX have taken the time to coax a 1968 Ford Mustang fastback out of hibernation to perform a few quick bars of “Silent Night.” There aren’t any details as to what’s lurking under this beast’s hood, but if we had to guess, we’d say it’s a 302-cubic-inch V8 that’s singing its heart out with the help of a little clever editing. Hit the jump to have a look for yourself, and may your holidays be filled with similar internal-combustion glory.

Close your eyes and picture the most beautiful contemporary sportscar designs. Were the Perana Z-One and Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione in the mix? Well, perhaps they ought to be. Now open your eyes and look at the image above.

What you’re looking at is a holiday card from the good folks at Zagato featuring the full Alfa Romeo TZ family. Starting from the back, there’s the original TZ1, followed by the classic TZ2, the most recent TZ3 Corsa unveiled at Villa d’Este and, what’s that wrapped in a bow, a fourth TZ model?

This is the first indication we’ve had of such a model in the works, but from what we can see in the image above, it looks promising, blending the aforementioned Z-One and 8C together into one tempting shape. Logic would dictate that the fourth model will carry the TZ4 nameplate. If it’s real, it’s likely to have been commissioned by some wealthy client, and probably borrows its underpinnings from the 8C Competizione. Whatever it is, color us intrigued, so watch this space for more details as they become available.
