Anyone that can appreciate the work that goes into building a Formula One race car that can reach speeds of up to 220 mph will surely marvel at the Mercedes-Benz World’s F1 Exhibition in Surrey, UK, which literally takes a Formula One race car and suspends each individual piece of the car in mid-air.
Car owners who like to practice eco-friendly habits may have heard that an automatic carwash is the greenest way to get a car squeaky clean. Commercial carwashes use about half the water that it takes to clean a car at home with a hose, and they recycle and reuse that amount over and over again.
Maybe it’s just me, and tell me if I’m wrong here, but the Wazuma V12 quad kicks a lot of ass. The Wazuma V12 was created by Lazareth Automotive in France and the quad runs on bio-ethanol fuel, so oil prices aren’t even a thought. The Wazuma is powered by a 5.0 V12 BMW engine, and is in the shape of a “W”. The front two wheels are spaced far apart, and the rear two wheels are closer together.
I’m a big fan of well thought out and all around good design. I mean who isn’t? Even when it comes to motorized bicycle racing, design comes into play. Take for instance this custom racing bike built by Jeff Wolf, owner of Wolf Creative Customs.
Honda has coined it HondaLink, which integrates several social services directly into the dashboard of the new 2013 Honda Accord and Honda Crosstour. HondaLink will be using the Aha mobile app service to take these services and display them in the Honda vehicles.
Virtual image pinboard Pinterest is all the rage these days. It’s taken off like wildfire to much praise. I myself have doubted it success, however, it seems that Pinterest seems to be going strong. One thing though that has come up over and over again about Pinterest is that it’s used mostly by the female demographic, with women’s fashion, food recipes and the like dominating the space.
I didn’t think it would be possible to turn a Ford Fiesta into a racing machine, but it happened in all it’s glory too. DC Shoes and rally car driver Ken Block souped up a Ford Fiesta, and took to the streets of San Francisco for a video to remember. The super charged racing machine has 650 horse power, and on the light weight new 3-door hatchback Ford Fiesta ST, it can go 0-60mph in 1.8 seconds as Ken Block is able to thrash and drift through the streets hitting a few jumps along the way.
Head 2 Head took a million dollars worth of sports cars and put them to the test against each other. A Bugatti vs. Lamborghini vs. McLaren vs. Lexus, which car would be the fastest? Clearly any car fanatic would say the Bugatti Veyron, well frankly because it’s the fastest street car in the world. Or is it? Maybe a the Lamborghini Aventador muscles up enough horsepower to beat the Bugatti in a quarter mile? Let’s find out.
Even in an SUV your space is limited, but Becker Automotive Design was able to create a luxurious hideout inside of this Cadillac Escalade. The Daily snapped some photos of the SUV, which glows in all it’s glory. There is an exercise bike, so you can hit the gym on the go. You also have full access to a mobile 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, including a huge HD television. The inside of this thing looks like Air Force One, but on wheels, all for the low-low price of $250,000.
Lego builds can be fun, but for some, they take it to another level beyond what many of us can dream up. Some of these are mind boggling, for example the Super NES replica, pictured inset which holds an actual SNES cartridge, or this Porshe 918 Spyder replica pictured below.
I asked on a recent post of mine, after learning about CISPA, which followed ACTA and SOPA, what could be nexta? In a joking manner, I really didn’t think, at least I didn’t hope there would be something I would be writing about days later that could be answering that question. The answer may end up being MAP-21.
Starting next year, hailing a cab in NYC won’t be such an unpleasant experience. In our world, having a taxi cab capable of satiating our needs will make a huge difference for a better experience.
In this Lamborghini Ferruccio concept created by Mark Hostler, he incorporates a “stealth” design and applies it to the Lamborghini giving it a very futuristic and vicious look and feel with drastic lines and sharp corners. Although I won’t say I am a big fan of this look, the stealthy Lambo looks very fast.
There’s only one place that I know that really knows how to “pimp” your ride, and that’s West Coast Customs. WCC gained a higher level of fame after their TV series on MTV Pimp My Ride aired in the 2000’s featuring guest host/rapper Xzibit; where WCC was notorious for doing over the top and outlandish custom car modifications. So when Microsoft wanted to do something to show off all the possibilities of their flagship products, they chose none other than WCC.
At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti has unveiled their latest feat yet. Clocking in at a mind boggling 255mph, Bugatti has introduced the new Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse roadster. At 255mph, it makes it the world’s fastest street legal car, however it will be limited to 233mph. Even at 233mph, that is beyond fast and only negligible on roads like the Autobahn in Germany.
