Porsche Design Johnnie Walker Blue Label Private Bar



Usually when we talk about cars, we try to keep alcohol as far away from the conversation as possible. However, this time, we have no choice but to put the indulgence front and center. This is a special Johnnie Walker Blue Label Private Bar designed by Porsche. Of course, this toy comes with a hefty price tag, not unusual for a Porsche item. It costs £100,000 or about $155,000, even more expensive than a Porsche 911 Turbo ($137,500). There will be only 50 units built, sold worldwide.

2012 Ferrari 458 Italia Spider



Leaked photos always have a way of forcing automakers to scramble on how to proceed when launching a new vehicle and the leaked images of the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider just might have forced Ferrari to show its hand earlier than they wanted. Now, all this is a matter of speculation and it just might be coincidence altogether, but in any case, the Italian automaker not only released the first official teaser of the 458 Italia Spider, but followed that up with the the first batch of official photos featuring the much-talked about top-down supercar.

2011 Maserati GranTurismo S Superior Black Edition

 

Anderson Germany seems to have a thing for turning already superior sports cars into lean and mean beasts of the road with exquisite black exterior paint finishes and upgraded power outputs. Their most recent transformations have come for the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin DBS, but they are now revealing the GranTurismo S Superior Black Edition. Just like the previously spectacular tuning packages, the GranTurismo S Superior Black takes the standard model and adds the aggressiveness it needs with a matte black exterior finish and other upgraded features, as well as extra thump for the engine.

2012 Maserati GranCabrio Convertible Sport


For the longest time Maserati has been sitting in the shaddows of Ferrari's larger than life status in the industry. This may be the only shortcoming for the beautiful Maserati. Ferrari probably makes it frustratingly difficulte for everyone at least with Maserati we are looking at one of the best (right after Ferrari).
Now to say that Maserati  isn’t trying is likewise a slap in the face of the Italian automaker. And to be completely on the up-and-up, if there’s a car that can definitely make the world stand up and take notice, the brand’s new 2012 GranCabrio Convertible Sport is that car. Scheduled to be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the newest Maserati GranCabrio Convertible is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Even though it can't compete with Ferrari in terms of top speed, HP and 0 to 60, it definitely captures your attention with her looks.

2014 Lexus GS 350 Coupe


Lexus will be unveiling the new generation GS sedan on August 18th, in conjunction with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. That much we already know, but what many don’t know just yet is that the company is planning a coupe version of the model. The new GS Coupe will be a spiritual successor to the SC 430 and will target models like the Audi S5, BMW 650i, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe.
In an interview with Inside Line, Ben J. Mitchell, Lexus’ product planner manager said: "I’d like to do a coupe. We’re really trying to increase the emotional qualities of our brand. We want to emphasize exterior styling and dynamics."

2013 BMW Gran Coupe



So it has been a while since BMW gave us something to admire and drop our jaws. Thankfully they finally came to their senses and decided to give us a BMW with a little more personality and character. Well, hopefully...
The Gran Coupe concept has finally been pushed through to production. With the AUdi A7 lurking at the segment and the Mercedes CLS in it's second version, BMW needed a new star. For that they are signing the Gran Coupe with a contract starting in 2012.

Rowan Atkinson, ring a bell? OK let's try this again...
Mr. Bean, now you know who I'm talking about! Bean is known by most as the funniest man in the world. After all Mr. Bean hardly needs an introduction but what most people don't know is that Atkinson is also an avid car lover and collector, and he drives like a pro. After all in one of his movies he was able to brush, undress, dress and eat while late to a doctors appointment.

2011 Ferrari 458 "Italian Stallion" By Wheelsandmore


When I first read this I thought, how can anyone dare messing with my favorite car but Wheelsandmore proved once again that they might be the best at what they do. It seems as though they are never short of ideas when it comes to tuning projects. On the same day they introduced separate tune-ups for the Ferrari California and the Lamborghini Murcielago, the German tuning shop also dished out one for the Ferrari 458 Italia. It’s called the ’Italian Stallion’.

Squirrel dodged a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 bullet

The squirrel did lose a little portion of it's tail but knowing he was standing in front of a Murcielago going at full speed he probably is the luckiest animal crossing a road. 
P.S. If the Murcielago wasn't as fast as it is, the squirrel would've been folded very nicely under the back tire.

A new guest start on Mission impossible 4, The BMW I8


The Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol, will air on December 16, 2011, but while many people think Tom Cruise will be the star of the show, I think differently. I want to watch this movie for it's guest star, even if it's just so I can get a glimpse of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car that will inspire the production BMW i8 version.

Batman's new ride will be a Lamborghini Aventador


Super cars are starting to appear in a growing number of movies that involve superheroes. Iron Man began that trend when Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., was seen riding the Audi R8 a few years back. Since then, a lot of high-budget summer movies have taken to exotics to serve as the protagonist’s main ride, including the Audi R8 Spyder in Iron Man 2, the Ferrari 458 Italia in the about-to-be-released Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in The Dark Knight.

2011 Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M Conversion Edition By Anderson Germany


There aren’t exactly a ton of tuning kits for the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M simply because there’s not much to change on the special edition to begin with. It’s cool, fast, beautiful, and, unfortunately, sold out. So what’s there to do if the itch for a Scuderia Spider 16M suddenly develops? Well, you can hop on the phone and give Anderson Germany a call, for starters. The tuning firm’s latest package allows ownership of a 16M style vehicle without the limited edition hurdle to jump over. The kit starts off with a Ferrari F430 Spider with a number of additions to not only make it 16M ready, but to allow for more horsepower as well.

Convertible Rolls Royce


Typically, automakers don’t create vehicles just for the sake of making them weekend riders, but that’s because many of us can’t afford to buy a car just to use it two days out of the week. Rolls Royce owners, on the other hand, can have a different car for every day of the week and it wouldn’t matter. After trying it out they really like it and the British luxury automaker decided to offer its British customers a very special Phantom Drophead Coupe that "was designed to capture the essence of a perfect weekend get-away, offering drivers and their passengers the ultimate luxurious and relaxing experience in roof-down motoring."

2011 Paramount group Marauder


Top gear is probably the number one car tvshow in the world. The best thing about the host job is, among other things, of course, the chance to get behind the wheel of some of the most insane machines on the planet. Whether it’s a high-powered go-kart or a sports car dressed as a gypsy tent, there’s no shortage of vehicles that can escape the sharp eyes.
But of all cars they have driven, I can guarantee there's nothing quite like the Marauder. Built in South Africa by the Paramount Group, the Marauder is quite arguably the baddest and meanest set of wheels we’ve ever seen.
