Of course, then there is this rendition of a land-sailer!! (But from a strictly applied physics POV, what is wrong with this picture??)

A vid on Google's self-driving car project. I gotta admit, from a design logistics perspective, that WOULD be a pretty cool design team to be on!Quote:

Of course that last vid is so full of shmooozz that it is practically useless from an informational standpoint.
I know I put this car in another thread, but this thing is just so gorgeous it really belongs here!! Enjoy!

Yeah...no taping mistakes on THAT repaint!! They certainly want enough, for it, though: $108,000 !!Quote:

Can you enter modified cars in concours shows? Because that exhaust does not look stock.

Q
I can see myself taking that Porsche for a test drive and have a pen explode in my back pocket while sitting on those seats. I would be like: "Umm...whoops." But at least the blue ink might match the blue paint! I probably wouldn't be welcomed back, though. ;)
Oh, and the boot lid doesn't fit the front bumper very well.
Fuck that. You could likely buy a low miles 2009-11 Turbo 997 for that kind of money. I love the Turbo 997.Quote:

I'd take a soldering iron into the urethra for that 3.8L. Amazing the output they are getting from that much displacement these days.
Some good looking rides coming out of Geneva car show.
The hybrid Koenigsegg Regera, 1500+ bhp between the 5.0 twin turbo V8 and the electric motors, will go from 0 to 248mph in less than 20 seconds. Full album: http://imgur.com/a/RRytU/all

Hidden beneath the vintage styling is an improved aluminum chassis with better torsional rigidity and an improved suspension setup. Power comes exclusively from a 4.8-liter V8 from BMW making 367 horsepower, and the Bavarian brand also supplies a new limited-slip differential to get power down at the rear. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic gearbox.
