That is NOT stainless steel people. It's WHITE GOLD!!
It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally). Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque? 0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89 secs running on bio-fuel.
Ferrari F750 was designed as part of Ferrari WorldDesign Contest with future vision in mind. In 2025, theworld population will close to 11 Billion and the highest priority is focus on saving petrol and cleaning atmosphere. A new kind of global behavior will appear: altruism (motivation to practice unselfish concern for the welfare of others). At those times the new Ferrari’s customers are will still have racing spirit and respect for the brand history.
According to the new global behavior, if a customer bought a Ferrari, he wouldn’t want to keep the car for himself. The Ferrari F750 (for 750kg) is the perfect solution. The rear petrol engine remains intact, but thanks to the two front electric engines, Ferrari F750 concept car introduces the e-driving.
Designers : Marc Devauze, Vianney Brecheisen and Alexandre Labruyere.
Electricity offers immediate torque and is used here as a booster. User can customize its interior by purchasing a special designed cocoon, therefore each user can exchange and share different interior atmosphere. Ferrari F750 introduces you to a new e-sharing experience.
Here's an air-powered urban commuter car, the AIRPOD by TATA motors. The three passenger transportation module uses compressed air instead of traditional alternative fuels like compressed hydrogen or natural gas for a carbon-neutral, zero-emissions ride. developed by MDI, its special engine works by extracting air pressure from its 175 liter storage tank on board, which refills itself either through an external pump or while driving with the help of a complimentary electric motor. the vehicle reaches a top speed of 43 mp/h ( 70 km/h ), making it ideal for urban inner city travel in congested metropolis areas. with a range of over two hundred kilometers, it only takes around two minutes for a full tank, costing approximately one euro to fill.
Tenuous though the link to cars may be, we just had to show you this epic music video from Biting Elbows. If the thumbnail hasn’t sold it to you already, know that the remaining frames of “Bad Motherfucker” form quite possibly the best first-person action sequence you’ll see anywhere, let alone in a music video.
Watch as our intrepid protagonist makes good his escape from an office full of baddies by shooting, punching and driving his way the hell out of there. We think the car he’s piloting is an old Russian GAZ, although to be honest who gives a damn?
GirlsDEFINITION x Project-Definition | Nikki Jaded & Cherry Lei. Car videos are a dime a dozen so we thought we would change it up and merge both our girl DEFINITION & Project-Definition style together. With that said, we ended up with a great collaborated video that you see before you. The models were great to work with and the location was a perfect place to film (especially since it has been raining out here in Hawaii)
To mark the start of deliveries of the 12C Spider in North America, McLaren Automotive has released a new short film. Shot at the notoriously treacherous Loveland Pass in Colorado, the 12C Spider navigates the tricky, snow-covered route “racing” against professional snowboarder Chanelle Sladics. The 12C Spider is being driven in the video by Rhys Millen. The Native New Zealander is the current overall record holder for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, 2005 Formula Drift champion and 2008 Drifting World Champion. Rhys has appeared in over 500 commercials spanning 20 years and films including several appearances within the Fast and the Furious franchise, Indiana Jones and is currently working on a new film project soon to be released. “With a familiar back ground in Hill Climb competitions and a native New Zealander myself, on the eve of this 50 year celebration for McLaren it was an honor to have driven the 12C Spider up the twisty snowy mountain roads. Professional snowboarder Chanelle Sladics co-stars in the video, taking the 12C Spider to task as she takes the most direct route across the snow covered landscape. Sladics is an 8 time competitor at the winter X-Games and has hosted snowboarding competitions on ESPN. At 11,990 feet (3,655 m) above sea level, Loveland is the highest mountain pass in the world that stays open during the winter months. The video was produced and directed by J.F. Musial, Founder of Tangent Vector. Musial recently launched DRIVE, a YouTube channel focusing on creating original automotive content for the web.
The 12C Spider made its global debut in North America during the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance last year. The second model from the British high performance sportscar company is lightweight with a high powered engine which boasts 616 bhp, a unique Retractable Hard Top (RHT) folding roof system, and a carbon ‘MonoCell’ chassis identical to that of the groundbreaking 12C. The 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine is transmitted to the car’s rear driven wheels through a seven-speed SSG dual-clutch transmission.
A dedicated ‘Winter’ powertrain setting on the 12C and 12C Spider, sets all electronic support systems to a maximum intervention level, with gearshift strategy and torque control optimised to limit any loss of traction.
McLaren Automotive is represented by 10 dealerships throughout North America.

A Car that repairs itself. The Audi A9 Concept Car Repairs Itself, Changes Body Color! This is Audi A9 concept from the reputed Spanish designer Daniel Garcia who has Ducati 6098 R concept and many other to his credit.
Daniel’s A9 concept is a low emission hybrid vehicle for the future. A9 concept features a single-piece windscreen and its roof is formed from nano technology material that has a unique automatic-syste m that repairs damage and can also be adjusted for colors and opacity.
Also, the vehicle flaunts the unique ‘electronic-painting’ system that allows the owner to change the color with the touch of a button. The concept is proposed to be powered by an advanced hybrid set up which uses an internal combustion engine working in conjunction with four in-wheel electric motors.
In Terry Gilliam's classic movie "Brazil," Sam Lowry drives around a dystopian future cityscape in a three-wheel Messerschmitt KR200, a 1950s-era European microcar that looks equal parts cool and ridiculous. For this year's Geneva Motor Show, Toyota has taken the idea of a three-wheel, tandem-seat microcar to a modern extreme in a concept it calls i-ROAD, and because the future has more in common with "Brazil" than we might prefer.
Most major automakers are working on ideas of vehicles that fill the space between a small car and a motorcycle — something small enough to fit in tight urban environments, but sizable enough to provide weather and crash protection so that passengers wouldn't have to wear helmets. None has advanced to the point of production, and the slow progress of a few start-ups has made such vehicles seem an answer to a question not many people have thought to ask yet.
But the trend lines say rising fuel prices and crowded metropolises will eventually demand a replacement for the four-wheel compact car. In the i-ROAD, Toyota combines an electric motor and battery that can travel 30 miles on a charge with a stability system to keep the trike upright; its front wheels raise and lower in turns to lean the body without toppling it. By seating two people in tandem, Toyota says the i-ROAD is no wider than a conventional motorcycle, and would require no special training to drive.
