Golden Porsche

September 27th, 2008

Have seen cars made of gold but this one is slightly different. 40 lbs of gold on this Porsche 911 convertible can you believe it ? If i see something like this i’d take a hammer and start to hit it, gold breaks easily.

Ferrari California 2009

August 18th, 2008

Today, when I was looking for Ferrari California specifications, I found that new images are exposed. Here are the details and photos;

Like other modern Ferraris, this one is fabricated from aluminum to keep mass under control. The 460 hp 4.3L V8 is the first from Maranello to use direct injection while following the racing tradition of using a flat-plane crankshaft. This car of firsts also debuts the production application of a dual clutch gearbox from Ferrari. The 7-speed unit is mounted in a rear transaxle configuration and should provide smoother shifting and even better performance than the existing hydraulically-actuated units that Ferrari currently uses. Acceleration to 60 mph should come in under 4.0 seconds.

The California is also Ferrari’s first retractable hardtop convertible. From the shape of the hood scoop and headlights to the sweep of the rear fenders and vents behind the front wheels this car obviously draws on the heritage of the original 1960s 250 GT California. At the same time, it’s blended with modern Ferrari design elements drawn from the current F430 and 599. We’re looking forward to seeing much more of this car over the months leading up to the Paris Motor Show!

Honda Puyo

August 14th, 2008

Honda Puyo is a new generation concept car introduced in Tokyo 2007. When you look outside it just seems like a bug and when you take a look inside it really looks like a spaceship . It has no sharp corners and the  doors opening upside just like the Back To The Future’s DMC Delorean. It’s designed with soft materials to prevent harm in traffic accidents. Sure we would like to see these kind of futuristic cars on streets.
