Cars like Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Bentley have an aura of their own that is quite unique and different from the conventional cars like the BMWs and the McLarens. The 2006 Bentley Continental GT Mulliner is up for grabs and this one is just available for mere $143,000. That is pretty cheap bargain considering that the car is just a year old, has not really done many miles and is without a single scratch or even a dent. Being sold off by its owner based in Los Angeles, California, the car seems in as good a condition as it could be after a year. Sparkling hot red cars are simply irresistible and when the picture includes a red hot blond… you just get a bit hot under the collar.

Citroen turned 60 recently and that obviously was a reason to celebrate. So, fashion house Hermès designed a special edition just for the Paris Motor Show on October 7th. The idea was to further highlight the car’s friendly and generous forms. Though some did have problems with the extremely gaudy crime-against-taste look of the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès, the more pedestrian 2CV was a total hit.

There was another extra frill that won the car some brownie points. Yep, the leather and cotton canvas paired with the bone-interior completed the timelessness of the vehicle, two things that are no longer found in modern vehicles. The birthday of this legendary car is also being honoured by the Citè des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris. An exhibition was opened on April 15th and is scheduled yo run til November 30th this year.

Aston Martin is a name that brings to mind the images of style, stability and a class that stands apart from the crowd. There is also one other important thing that it brings to our thoughts and that is big numbers. Anything Aston Martin is going to be at the high-end of the price zone and generally the price tag is going to be a tad bit larger than most others to accommodate all those extra zeros. This £ 1.2 million Aston martin One-77 sure takes the meaning of the word “expensive” to a whole new plane.

The Aston Martin One-77 is termed as a fusion of art with Aston Martin craft as it blends a timeless sense of tradition with a futuristic flashy design. The carbon fiber chassis, all-aluminum body and the 7.0 liter V12 engine that can hit 200 mph with ease make this car a collector’s item. Only 77 of these will be made by Aston Martin and already they have 100 applicants for it (Phew… And they say that the economy is sinking!) The technical details of the car are still to be disclosed in detail, but you can bet that this will be an impeccable work of automotive masterpiece.

So why do they call it One-77? People at Aston Martin just thought that 75 was a bit too boring for a limited edition number. When the veil comes off this stunning sizzler at the Paris Motor Show, you could bet we would be gasping for breathe. So, if you are listening Mr. Santa of North Pole, you could maybe pick one of these up and drop it in my living room come Christmas. Though if Santa gets his hands on this one, it is more likely he will swap it for his sledge rather then give it to anyone…

Imagine a bike-car combo! Well, Brudelli’s leanster has turned that fantasy into a reality. It is actually a variation on the motorcycle incorporating the benefits of a two-wheeled front end for a dynamic ride but with the traction of a multi-wheeled vehicle. It is a visual delight to see this model in function. Yep, it is really cool to see the vehicle leaning at an angle of 45 degrees except for the footboards that remain parallel to the ground. The two front wheels also provide less braking distance.

Basing the machine on a lean and mean structure, this techie work of art weighs just 238 kg. As a result, the 654cc KTM engine with 47kW @ 7,500 rpm gives great acceleration thanks to the 65 Nm @ 6,550 rpm midrange all the way to 170 km/hr.

The best part is that this bike of a kind can be driven on all surfaces like tarmac roads, go-kart tracks and even the speedway tracks. The model will be launched at Intermot 2008 on October 8 and will be available in limited numbers at a price of 21,000 Euros.
