What better way for Ferrari to celebrate its 16th Formula One Constructors Championship win last week, but to launch the open top version of the F430 Scuderia this week. The much-awaited hot wheels, the Scuderia Spider 16M has the same features as the lightweight Scuderia coupe like the 510 hp 4.3L V8 and the 6-speed F1 paddle shift gearbox.
According to Ferrari, Scuderia Spider is apparently the fastest open top model to be ever tested by them around the Fiorano test track. And the best part is that Scuderia is 176 lbs lighter than a standard F430 spider at 2954 lbs dry. That is believed to be very good to support a sprint of 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds with a terminal velocity of 195.7 mph.

Probably that is why three of them are featured in an exhibit at New York’s Ippodo Gallery and the Contemporary Asian Art Fair.
Nagata’s awar-winning motocycles have almost become legends. And the irony is, the man spends every waking minute to build machines that almost killed him when he was 16. So Nagata, whose name means ‘power’, decided to honour those who had died in the horrible accident by creating art.

SeaPhantom is a really impressive and a very intimidating ‘sea flight’ that really stands true to its name and has a design and a tentative conceptual design that surely will give you a ride of a lifetime. Still in the design stage at Maritime Flight Dynamics, the amazing sea rider will travel from Key West to Cuba in 45 minutes. How is that possible on water? Well, it is not and that’s exactly why it lifts a few feet above the water to glide over the oceans in the smoothest of fashions.

But Andy along with previous land speed record holder Richard Noble, are all set to shatter that and take it past the 1000 mph come 2011 with their hot new “Bloodhound”. The Bloodhound will aim to hit an amazing 1050 mph and that is well around 1.4 mach.

For starters, this is not really going to go down all too well with those who have big planet friendly posters in their hands and are extra-kind to every animal on the planet. Irrespective of all that, this custom crafted bike is really cool and it is so good that for a moment we thought that this was just an image of some concept creation set for the future. The bodywork on this bike really speaks volumes about the hand that air brushed it so authentically. Dubbed as “The Dragon” and created by Wikked Kustoms in Florida, this is indeed cool in a very wicked way.

It seems that Her Majesty’s best secret agent and a wrecked piece of Aston Martin DBS can still beat the price tag of many cars in the world today with ease. You can understand when someone wants to buy an Aston Martin that was used in a James Bond flick and then was in put up for action when still in considerably good shape. You can even understand someone buying a piece of wreckage of Titanic by shelling out a whole lot. But to buy a completely wrecked Aston Martin that was used in the most recent 007 flick starring Daniel Craig just shows the incredible brand value that Bond… James Bond carries with him!
