The Ferrantes V Concept is a new vehicle from Italian designer Fabio Ferrante. This is a 2×2 sports coupe that offers a stylish that should give leading muscle cars a run for their money. Notable from this sports concept vehicle is its long, low hood paired with bulging wheel arches and large projection.
If you want to impress people you need to be over the top sometimes. You should have something that will make people stop, give a second and a third look before going away and either tweeting it to their friends or putting up a picture in Facebook. An added help would be having a mountain load of cash available to rent the Royal Luxury Limousine’s 2010 Audi Q7 Limousine with Gull Wing Doors. Yes folks you read it right: GULL WING DOORS.
This latest Audi Q7 Jet Door limo is the latest addition to the Royal Luxury limo’s fleet of exotic vehicles. This car is equipped with smoke machine, fishtank, 2000 watt stereo system, fireplace, disco color changing floor and ceiling, upgraded upholstery, iPod hookup and more.
Ok, this seems to be going way over the top–a fishtank and a smoke machine? I would understand using a smoke machine for grand entrances, but a fishtank would just be too much. About the fireplace: I hope it’s all artificial or we’ll be hearing from the Fire Department soon.
The owner of the limo, Mark Bauer is especially pleased with how people are reacting to the limo.
Mark says that during the prom season he sells out of these limos way before his competition does. “Kids these days want the latest and greatest” says Mark. Clients want to show off at their prom in something that Wows the crowd. And these jet door limos definitely due the job. Just imagine when 20 kids pull up to their prom where the party is and driver rolls out the red carpet and opens up the 5th door up in the air, like you see on the movie “Back to the Future”, smoke comes out of the car (from the smoke machine), disco floor and ceiling is changing colors, strobe lights inside and under the car are flashing, loud music is playing, kids are coming out and you see all the spectators are shocked. That is how you make an entry.”
Yup! With this limo, your arrival will be the stuff of legends.
Only a billionaire would be crazy enough to but a vintage Mercedes Benz worth $8 million. What makes it so special? Well this is no ordinary vehicle. This is an original Mercedes Benz which was once part of a fleet used by that famous dictator Adolf Hitler during WWII. The buyer was an anonymous Russian billionaire who is now the official owner of the midnight blue 770 K model car. After a practical world tour for an ideal garage to park in, this vintage Mercedes Benz has now officially found one in Russia!

Slated to arrive in Cadillac showrooms in the spring of 2010, the CTS Coupe is a new luxury sports coupe designed to become the centerpiece of the brand’s revised lineup.

Welcome the latest car brand (a luxury brand at that) which may soon join the electric car binge. The latest rumor out there is that Rolls Royce may possible be rolling out an electric version of their car within a year. The good news is that given their big leg room and quiet performance, motorists may not even notice the difference should an electric Rolls Royce come out. But being a luxury car, you know that electric technology will have its consequences and normally it will be hooked on to the price tag. An electric Rolls Royce? If it does push through, you can bet it will be on a limited edition run considering not many people would spend big bucks on an expensive vehicle even if it is a Rolls Royce!

At the upcoming 36th Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races, held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on August 14-16, the sound of the initial stirrings of over 450 race cars will be complimented by the exquisite growl of the newest, most daring and most advanced vehicle Porsche has produced to date, the 2010 Porsche Panamera gran turismo.
“This year’s Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races presents the perfect opportunity to demonstrate that Porsche’s DNA, its competitive spirit and drive for perfection, runs from the very first 356, Porsche No. 1 up through today’s all-new Panamera,” said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America.
“We at Porsche are deeply honored to have been named the ‘featured marque’ on this, the 61st anniversary of the very first Porsche and the North American debut of the Panamera, the very latest Porsche,” added von Platen.
In addition to the 145 Porsche racers already entered by their owners, or one-third of the 450-plus field, Porsche will showcase the Panamera on the world-famous race track and will also provide display vehicles on site.
Along with the North American debut of the 2010 Panamera, four special cars with significant American connections will also be on site — all on loan from the new Porsche Museum in Germany:
Porsche-sponsored activities for the fans at Laguna will include a heritage display including former and current race cars, Porsche’s current showroom product line, and experts to answer Porsche questions. Porsche Motorsport North America, the racing arm of Porsche in the U.S., will also showcase its engine and chassis services for both professional and club/vintage racing, while the Porsche Club of America expects to have more than 400 Porsches in its club corral and will parade all its cars on the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
