Chromed Audi R8 Spyder

Audi has been a winner all the way with its powerful S5 Sport back,  R8 Spyder, stylish A3 1.2 T S I and the glamorous A4 3.0 T D I.
The excuse for chroming the Audi R8 V10 Spyder for the bidding is that it took place during Elton John’s famous White Tie and Tiara Ball.
Dressing up and dancing is a front for efforts to raise money and awareness for the Elton John Aids Foundation (EJAF). Audi has been a part of the ball for several years now and it’s a nice tradition.

VARIO Perfect 1200 Platinum Class A Motor Home

It’s nice to know that in this troubled economy there are still people who are willing and able to drop over $1.4 million on a motor home, though ‘mobile luxury apartment’ seems to be a better description for this thing. The VARIO Perfect 1200 Platinum comes with every amenity one could ever want including cherry wood accents, leather upholstery, Corian counter tops in the kitchen, granite flooring, a dish washer, a rain shower, mirrored sliding doors in the bedroom, LCD TVs, a satellite system and of course a Bose stereo.

Ronn Unveils Hybrid Supercar - Runs On Water

The new car, now in per-production, is called the “Scorpion,” and the Company plans for it to be available to consumers this fall. The hydrogen delivery system with dual computer processor controls produces hydrogen on demand, and in real time, which will be inducted through the air intake manifold and blended with gasoline at a ratio of 30-40 percent hydrogen, according to Maxwell. The fuel for this system is derived from fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank, and will not require a high pressure, on board hydrogen storage tank or hydrogen fueling station.

A storage tank would instead be filled with water; electric current from the car’s alternator would then pass through it, separating the hydrogen molecules from the oxygen. The hydrogen molecules combined with gasoline could power the car for 40 miles per gallon.

Gold Plated BMW M5

This golden BMW M5 car is a high performance version of the BMW 5 series automobile manufactured by the M racing division of BMW. It can go from 0-100 kilometers in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/hour with electronic speed limiter.

The gold plated BMW M5 has several Formula One inspired engine and transmission controls, including launch control, dynamic stability control, and the option of changing to either automated or manual, as well as the speed at which shifts are completed. However, it costs much more than the usual BMW M5 as it is gold plated.

Gold Plated Russian Porsche 911 Turbo

The  Russians have taken conspicuous consumption to a new level over the last few years and one wealthy Muscovite even thought it that it was a good idea to cover his Porsche with gold.
Covered in 40 pounds of pure gold (beaten 22 carat gold), this Porsche 911 may look dazzling but it’s a fair bet to say that it will no longer be doing 0-60 in under five seconds.


Naturally, adding 18kg of 18-carat gold to your car comes at a cost, but then again the pearlescent paintwork has added around £270,000 to its resale value.

The gold plated Porsche was always going to attract plenty of attention, some of that attention of the welcome female variety, and some of it of the unwelcome criminal variety. In fact the car was actually stolen and found again some a short time later. Very mysterious.

It is not just the outside of this Porsche which has been covered in gold but also the steering wheel, the alloys and other interior features. To top it all off the gold plated Porsche has a cool flowery design which has been etched into the gold.

Mercedes - Benz SLS AMG GT3

The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 was developed and built by AMG , of course. It is outfitted with a custom 6.3-liter V8 engine and a six-speed sequential transmission with steering wheel shift paddles. Hey, who said that you can’t combine luxury with racing performance.AMG has been producing racing versions of Mercedes-Benz cars and high performance street machines for over four decades. That tradition continues with Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3, spec version of the new SLS gullwing coupe.

 

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 [ 2012 ]

Arrinera Supercar 2012

The Arrinera is its striking, albeit a little Lamborghini-esque, styling. The second thing you will notice is its name. The company is Arrinera Automotive and its first car will be called the Arrinera.

Edsel Ford 1934 Model 40 Special Speedster

Nearly eight decades after Edsel Ford, son of company founder has made a 1934 Model 40 Speedster, a sports car history makes a comeback at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California. 1934 Model 40 Special Speedster built, which serves as Edsel Ford’s personal roadster has changed many hands after his death in 1943 until the last owner, a Texas car collector, bought the car in 2008. After the sudden death of a collector in 2010, returned home Edsel Speedster, which is now operated as a historic site called the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House. You can read more about the historic Speedster in the blast hit below.

Cadillac Ciel - Concept [ 2011]

The Cadillac Ciel Concept - pronounced "C-L," the French translation for sky - is a four-seat convertible that opens a new chapter in Cadillac's design and product ascent, pushing the brand's Art & Science philosophy into a new stratum. Ciel is a new expression of Cadillac's historical grandeur, as well as a celebration of open-air motoring.
"Large, expressive luxury is innate to Cadillac and the Ciel recalls that heritage, while suggesting where the brand can go in the future," said Clay Dean, global design director for Cadillac. "Authentic luxury is driven by experiences, not just products, and Ciel is about the experience of the journey."

 

Mercedes-Benz F 125

Concept called F125 uses a hydrogen fuel cell drive train that produces more power than its gasoline powered counterparts of this era. The F125 concept is seen as the future Mercedes-Benz S-Class and this could be the car on which the next generation models of the limousine could be based on. The new technology still has to prove itself before Mercedes-Benz starts offering future luxury cars with a zero-emissions drivetrain.

 

BMW i8

The BMW i8 Concept and the fascinating approach that underpins it embody the vision of a sustainable contemporary sports car brought to life. Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept - fitted over its front axle - with a high-performance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW (220 hp)/300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the rear. The electric motor in the BMW i8 Concept is a full-capability unit which can also power the car on its own, if required. However, working in tandem allows the two drive systems to display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car.

Bella Figura

After 3 years of work Delahaye USA is ready for the construction of a 'particular car (But there are no details in here?). And 'built in America in New Jersey and its characteristic is that it not be a replica or a restoration, but to be the 'glory of the interpretation of a past that is made with modern technologies and materials. This is the philosophy of Bella Figura Type 57S Coupe which draws on the Type 57S 1934 designed by Jean Bugatti. Bella Figura from a nice idea.
