My life is a bit unusual in that I often have conversations with people about the topic of flying cars. Since I was a child I dreamed about the day that we would have flying cars. But, other than the vague notion of the flying car that George Jetson drove each day to Spacely Sprockets, we have no real definition of the flying car, until now.

Karl Benz played a prominent role in promoting the development of the automobile. Some 25 units of the Benz Patent Motor Car of 1886 – the world's first automobile – were built. It goes without saying that Benz knew that a four-wheeled car would have greater cornering stability, however, he found the steering systems used for carriages at the time to be unsuitable for his purposes. He solved the problem – and filed a patent for his double-pivot steering (DRP 73515) in 1893. He installed it in the same year in his four-wheeled Victoria model. However, he had a lighter car in mind. At the World Exposition in Chicago (May 1 – October 31, 1893), Benz finally presented his Velocipede to the public. It was to become the world's first car from large-scale production and at the same time the first small car. Benz produced more than 1,200 units of this car between 1894 and 1902

You've got to admire the Dutch. Besides having some of the most lenient marijuana laws in the world, they also make some amazing cars. This particular model boasts 14 speakers, from woofers to tweeters, and you can bet it makes quite a racket. It's actually a piece of artwork, designed so that it can be driven somewhere, and then decks hooked up on top as a portable soundsystem. Oh, and it's available to rent.
The creator, artist Olaf Mooij says "The idea for the DJ Mobile is inspired by the song "God is a DJ" [from faithless] and the car of our HOLY-POPE. These two things were mixed together and there it was the DJ Mobile." Brilliant. Thanks Olaf. A special place in heaven awaits you, and you can bet it'll be soundproofed.
Hmmm… I wonder if this kind of Snooker car is driveable. But, I doubt it is, since there’s no place for the driver to settle himself. Besides, it doesn’t even seem to have essential auto parts, such as Acura CL spark plug wires, to make it run. Regardless, I would definitely love to own one! I just hope there are still some units being sold somewhere. If not, perhaps it would be nice if I would be allowed to rent it for a few hours, just to experience the game with it.
I feel good today, seems like something great is about to happen. But, while waiting for it, let me first share with you another unique car…
Well… It barely looks like an actual car, yet it is. In fact, it confused me on the first look, as the wheels are not obvious. It just happened that the picture was one in a set of “They are just cars… Only a little bit weird” photos in linkinn.com, so I figured out that it is a car.
I thought it is the what-so-called “car-boat”. But, upon searching through the net, specifically wikipedia.org, a car-boat is “a boat or marine vessel built from, or powered by, an automobile chassis and engine”, indefinite whether it also sustained with an Acura ball joint replacement or any other kind of auto parts found in a typical car. They have been recently well-known in the United States media for being the vehicle ridden by a number of Cubans who have attempted to immigrate to the United States by water. Car-boat built from a taxi has been termed as taxi-boat… So, the one in the picture is not a car-boat. Besides, a boat is a watercraft designed to float and provide transport over “water” and not in the land… Unfortunately, I found none regarding a boat-car. But, if there is, maybe it is a car that is powered by a boat chassis and engine, don’t you think? (LOL)
Anyways… perhaps, it no longer works as a boat. So, the owner might have thought of just making it a car instead of leaving it to the junk
As we can see, this vehicle is a promo car of Goldfish crackers, which are originally manufactured by the Campbell Soup Company and are marketed under Pepperidge Farm brand. Their crackers come in a sundry of flavors, and has a goldfish shape. Their car, apparently, also bears this form.
If you look closely at the Goldfish car, you’ll see their tagline: “The Snack That Smiles Back.” Just for the heck of it, let’s throw in their jingle. Sing along folks!
Let’s hear it now for Goldfish
Yes, baked and not fried Goldfish
The yummy snack that smiles back
Until you bite their heads off
Did you know they’re made with real cheese
Even though they look like fishies?
The snack that smiles back, Goldfish!
This years Geneva Auto Show stunned audiences with a car which teeters on the edge of an optical illusion. Exasis, is a transparent Rinspeed creation has an insect like body, transparent high tech plastic and yellow trim. At first glance it looks like a large scale Meccano set, upon closer inspection the image is literally transparent! Perfect for someone with a Wonder Woman fetish who wants to re-enact the invisible plane routine. How did that poor woman ever find where she parked that damn thing? We suggest adorning it with beaded seat covers ala Taxi Drvier style to help it stand out in the crowd
If ancient Egyptians were able to build cars this is probably how they would have made them
There seems to be a lot of discussions about what is the fastest motorcycle in the world, but actually there is not that much to discuss.
The Dodge Tomahawk might be a concept model, but it is almost twice as fast as the second fastest motorcycle in the world (Ducati Desmosedici RR).
The Dodge Tomahawk is powered by a V10 engine from a Dodge Viper sportscar. The engine gives it 500 hp (373 kw) and a supposed topspeed around 675 km/h (420 mph)!
Problem is that the Tomahawk isn’t street legal and that the 10 hand-built versions were sold for no less than $550,000 each
The car is not what you expect for a movie car. Usually its just a normal car covered with cardboard/plastic to make it look scifi but the Tumbler was build from the ground up. Its unique and I want one
Environment friendly cars have put Toyota over the top, finally. Consumer demand for environment friendly cars has helped make Toyota the largest seller of cars in the world, for the first quarter of 2007.
General Motors has long been on, or near the top of the heap in auto sales. Toyota’s investment in hybrid cars is finally paying off. Koji Endo, who is an auto analyst with Credit Suisse, believes that Toyota’s image, with regards to reliability AND ecological technology, has resulted in the excellent showing this quarter. Leading the pack has been Toyota’s Prius. This is one Hybrid that the world has been talking about for years. People have now stopped talking and have opened their wallets. Green business rocks!
This wood car was created as a promotional vehicle made by a furniture company in Japan with a max speed of 80km/h.
Size matters, and the smaller the better according to Spanish designer Ignacio Garcia. He designed the M-112 for the Shell EcoMarathon race, a competition held to spur innovation. Garcia’s idea is to make a lightweight single-person urban vehicle as fun and sporty as possible.
The body of the BamGoo is made out of bamboo. Designers from Kyoto University, and the City of Kyoto (home to the famous environmental protocols), demonstrated how organic material like bamboo—which is light, very strong and grows very fast—might be incorporated into car design. The single-seat all-electric car weighs on 130 pounds and can travel 30 miles on a charge.
In 1997, UniSA, Seaton High School, Fremont-Elizabeth City High and Annesley College formed the South Australian Solar Car Consortium. The aim of the Consortium was to help students design, build and race solar cars in the World Solar Challenge. Our first car, Ned, debuted in the 1999 World Solar Challenge, where it came first in its class and 14th overall.
In 2000, Regency TAFE joined the Consortium and we started work on our second car, Kelly. Kelly was first raced in the 2001 World Solar Challenge.
Ned retired from racing and spent a year touring South Australian schools as part of a Sustainable Energy programme being run by The Investigator Science and Technology Centre.
TAFE SA ran Kelly in the 2005 and 2007 World Solar Challenges.
I dont know is true or not, but amazing... i have seen on net now you may see the picture of bill gates cars reception office at Microsoft .
Monster trucks are cool. They're automotive overkill of highest order: insanely powerful, ridiculously oversized 4WDs that both adults and kids alike dream about driving.
Mainly because they can crush cars.
But a monster bike?
Nope, it's not Christmas yet, but ex-stuntman Ray Baumann has dropped a huge gift onto the Melbourne Motor Show with the Monster Motorbike from hell.
And yes, it can crush cars - such as lurid yellow Holden Camiras.
The mind-bogglingly huge Monster Motorbike will be displayed at the 2008 Melbourne International Motor Show (MIMS), and is powered b a Detroit Diesel truck engine that outputs an ungodly amount of torque.
Ray Baumann's creation weighs about 10 times that of a normal family car at 13.6 tonnes, and measures close to 9 metres long and over 3 metres tall.
It's big, bad, and very loud.
The super-heavy 10-foot high motorbike can crush cars in first gear, though it has a 6-speed Allison automatic borrowed from a prime mover, just in case you need to clock up some highway kilometers.
It also uses a 2-speed Eaton differential from a road train to drive a massive chains on both sides of the spectacular rear wheel.
"We did stunt driving for quite a few years," says Baumann, "broke a few records and broke my back a few times, so this is a way of taking a bit more care.
"Now we crush things, which is definitely less risky than jumping them - we still do jump things, but not at the Melbourne Motor Show," added Baumann.
We're not sure if the Monster Motorbike is capable of popping wheelies and monos, but crushing Commodores is an impressive party trick.
Like the huge body and girder-like front swing-arms, the wheels on the Monster Motorbike are also larger than life.
Baumann got the huge wheels which tower over mere humans from Caterpillar. They normally cost around $30,000 each, but they appear to be second hand which would reduce the cost.
Normally used on Caterpillar's mining trucks prevalent in Western Australia, where they can cart around 300 tonnes of rubble, the wheels on the Monster Motorbike have custom rims finished in white, which adds greatly to the bike's aesthetic. As do the dripping blood decals.
The car crushing bike was built in Perth, and Ray Baumann has spent three years developing the vehicle which according to reports has already stunned spectators during its early demonstrations out west.
If you do plan on heading to the Melbourne Motor Show, be careful where you park your car...
This amazing pink car is the creation of Hollywood builder Jay Ohrberg. 23-feet long & 6-feet wide, this baby’s gonna need about 12 parking spaces at Wal-Mart. On eBay, of course, you can now own this pink monster for about $147,210.00.
Come on, how much is a dream worth? And I’ll warn you, there’s already one bidder out there trying to steal this Pink Panthermobile from under you!
When you take this car out on the town, you are sure to be noticed. The results are still out on the impressing-the-ladies poll for this particular model.
The Sunbeam Silver Bullet was the last attempt on the land speed record by Sunbeam of Wolverhampton. It was built in 1929 for Kaye Don. Powered by two supercharged aero-engines of 24 litres each, it looked impressive but failed to achieve any records.
Sunbeam's 1927 200 mph land speed record won with the Sunbeam 1000HP had been broken by 1929, and the company decided to build a car capable of reaching 250 mph (400 km/h) so as to recover it. Only aero engines offered enough power to do this, and such a car would also provide a test bed for developing a new generation of Sunbeam aero-engines.
The Mazda RX-7 is a sports car produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda from 1978 to 2002. The original RX-7 featured a twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine and a sporty front-midship, rear-wheel drive layout. The RX-7 was a direct replacement for the RX-3 (both were sold in Japan as the Savanna) and subsequently replaced all other Mazda rotary cars with the exception of the Cosmo. The RX-7 was the first car designed from the ground up to be a rotary powered car. The RX-3 and others were originally designed around a piston engine and were later retrofitted with the rotary.[citation needed] The original RX-7 was a sports coupé. The compact and light-weight Wankel engine or rotary engine is situated slightly behind the front axle, a configuration marketed by Mazda as "front mid-engine". It was offered in America as a two-seat coupé, with optional "occasional" rear-seats in Japan, Australia, and other parts of the world. The "occasional" rear-seats were initially marketed as a dealer installed option for the North American markets

We have no idea when or if Ferrari will release new images of the 2009 Ferrari California , however the press that’s seen the car in person is filling that spot with their massive galleries of the new Italian stallion. We’re not going to bother babbling more on these pictures since you’ve probably already hit the jump and are drooling over your keyboard
