Road
BMW has collaborated with South African Artist, Robin Rhode, to create "Expression of Joy." I believe the images and video speak for themselves, but I have added some links below for some long ass articles about the intent and technique actually I couldn't go pass the 1st paragraph so I am guessing that's what it was about.
After the Jump All the Cool IMAGES
Pretty much all I know is that I have been seriously obsessed with the Audi R8 for a full year now, so finding these amazing images of the R8 in firetruck red and set to the neutral clean backdrop of a Siberia winter, this makes the R8 worthy of being more then Ironman’s vehicle but maybe James Bond’s Ride, if he ever chooses to drop his Aston.

This is one really sleek successor to already sleek Benz McLaren SLR. To honor one legendary race car they named this edition after him, Sir Stirling Moss, he is better know for is incredible win in the 1955 Mille Migila. It will share the same 650 hp V8 engine from the SLR 722 edition.
Due to come out June 09’ with a limited production of 75 cars worldwide exclusively being sold only to previous SLR owners (Crap, I guess winning the lotto in next 6 months will not help).

Concept Volt
Expected Production Volt
Remember when plug-in was sexy? Back when Chevy announced the volt something amazing happened every red blooded American instantly wanted the most environmentally friendly car out there. Suddenly people who never would have dremt of driving a prius started getting interested in mpgs and signing up on waiting lists to be the first in their area for the ability to drive 40 miles without using a single drop of gasoline. Soon after oil prices surged and the volt became an iconic middle finger to Opec.
Then something hit and suddenly the volt looks a little bit like an improved camry. This thing is called reality. After months of aerodynamics testing and teams looking for ways to economize the car the cutting edge design has been greatly watered down. It's as if all of a sudden my cappuccino was decaf. While the car is still a revolutionary break through what remains to be seen is if mpg's are enough to make your average Joe fork over 40,000 usd when his new volt no longer makes the guy down the streets BMW look like an Oldsmobile.
This car looks fierce, park it next to any other exotic car and I am sure you will see people crying, that’s how hot this car looks.
Facts and Figures: It features a turbocharged AND supercharged, 7.0-liter V8 engine for 1,104 horsepower, a 6-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel-drive, 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3 seconds, and the top speed: a reported 233 mph. To be released in 2009.

This is one of the coolest events of year, this coming from a future Gumball 3000 participant. 2008's route is ridiculous which includes a long plane trip between continents. Video shows the opening starting line in San Francisco and the trip will end in 8days in Bejing China.

This clip from BBC's Top Gear is Hilarious, with how Jeremy Clarkson uses the car to go to work. I believe this will be Andrew's future mode of transportation after seeing this.

BMW have unveiled their concept car GINA which rethinks the notion of an external hard shell. The body is made from a seamless polyurethane-coated Lycra fabric stretched over a moveable aluminum frame allowing the owner to change the car's shape. Purely conceptual, there is no intention of this technology ever going into production. GINA (Geometry and functions In 'N' Adaptions) has been in development for six years, the working model is built on a Z8 chassis and has four panels which take about two hours to put on. |
