Not enough to just own a Bentley Continental? Well, if you have $1.7 Million dollars, you can get a bespoke Bentley courtesy of Italian design firm Zagato. Keep your eye out for more collaborations from Bentley, including one with a different Italian designer.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more storied automobile than the legen… wait for it… dary Porsche 911. This year at the Frankfurt Motorshow the brand new limited Edition Sport Classic will be unveiled. With a double bubble roof panel, ducktail spoiler, wider stance ground effects and an extra 23 horses. I’d say something about how beautiful this car is, but words escape me. Only 250 will be produced and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t checking my 401k to see if there’s been some sort of mistake which would let me be one of those 250.
Thanks Curneen for the link.
You know that kid in high school who had the lowered honda with the tinted windows, chrome rims, and a stereo that made the earth quiver? For that kid, I present the Lexus LF-A. It’s the first released Lexus Concept Car. Five inches shorter than the Porsche 911 Turbo (996), with a 4.8L V10 and over 550hp; this beast is nimble and fast.
Clearly it’s easy to see that there are design components borrowed from the Ferrari F430, Nissan 370z and Lexus IS-F, but the end result is a futuristic and aggressive demeanor.
Thanks Brian R for the link.
Since Rob and Big did it, “murdering out” your car has been quite the craze. Gemballa decided to take it up a notch and apply this to one of the sickest cars out there, the Porsche Carrera GT. I saw one of these the other day and couldn’t imagine it being any beefier but Gemballa did it, boasting a 607 hp performance upgrade allowing it to go 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. All that and a batman-type finish for $300,000. Oh, and did we mention that doesn’t include the $460,000 the car retails for.
Out with the old, in with the new. Ferrari has officially announced its replacement of the F430 with the introduction of the 458 Italia. Set to be unveiled in September’s Frankfurt Motor Show, we still have some time before it is displayed to the public.
I almost pooped my pants when I found this. If you have an affinity for Italian supercars and an extra $4500, I highly suggest you attend Lamborghini Academy. Based in Italy, the Academy boasts 3 different courses to challenge your racing skills. The highlight is their Winter Academy where you can “experience firsthand the rarefied atmosphere of a snow-covered racetrack at the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4.” Graduate and you automatically obtain legendary status.
Want to be environmentally conscious and image conscious at the same time? If you have $109,000, you can own the Tesla Roadster and kill both birds with one stone. Don’t worry about performance with this car, as one of the tricks the Tesla salespeople pull is to ask prospective buyers to turn on the stereo while the salesman mashes the gas pedal. So far no one’s been able to turn on the stereo.
Unveiled today by creators Marlon Kirby and David McMahan, the Maxximus G-Force is the world’s fastest street-legal car going zero to sixty in 2.1 seconds. For $3 million, you can have your very own.
Boasting a 4.0 liter six-cylinder boxer engine that outputs 450 horsepower at 7,800 rpm, you won’t be losing a street race anytime soon.
Just leaked, the first uncovered photos of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E500. This design takes on the aggressive face of the C-Class and the elongated sloping lines of the CLS-Class. The E-Class is a pleasant compromise between the sporty C and the luxurious S. Well done.
Recently debuted at the Detroit Auto Show. Audi has really been stepping it up with their design. Inside and Out. Modern design with crisp, clean lines.
It’s done. They did it. Welcome to the future. We have the flying car.
