You hunt for something sporty may end here if you have enough dough to spill over or rather invest. The opportunity is to ink a neat deal with the Porsche driven by Steve McQueen in the Hollywood flick Le Mans. It would be up for auction at Bonhams & Butterfield in the US as a part of its Exceptional Motorcars and Automobili sale. The anticipated price that this coupe may fetch is $2 million.

For that amount, you would own the 1969-70 Porsche 908/2 Spyder that is a 350bhp, 3.0-litre flat-eight air-cooled speedster with a fiberglass body, tubular aluminum space frame and a car capable of hitting 200mph+. Besides driving it in Le Mans, McQueen also took a ride over it in the 1970 Sebring 12 Hours race. If you are making up your mind to possess it then auction is still 2.5 months away, so you can start saving now.

Auction date: 15 August

Sounding like a Bat Mobile with an appeal that of a legendary car, Flatmobile is all set to enter the Guinness record for owning the world’s flattest sedan ever. Measuring 19 inches high, this revolutionary coupe is arguably the world’s lowest vehicle and powered by a jet engine, it can ride with a speed up to 100 mph. The highlighting feature of coupe is its number plate that is bordered by two missile tips. Also, there is a word of vigilance for those who covet the owner as his position is in corporeal danger with semis surrounding all over the place.

Designed, developed and tweaked by 46-year-old Perry Watkins, it won’t only turn heads but is successful in breaking few.

Whilst yesterday, we put you across TVA Gazelle, a four-wheeled hybrid car cum bike and today we have another concept called Suzuki Crosscage. The latter is a grand looking lightweight automobile that is a true hydrogen fuel cell and electric hybrid. Its compressed nature offers a power output equivalent to a 125cc engine. A singular hydrogen tank will offer you a 200 kilometers ride, which is good for commuting. It features a gearless transmission and a silent engine due to the power source. It name stands on the cross-shaped cage used to defend the hydrogen tank.

Reports reveal that the machine is awfully narrow and runs on particularly urbanized Bridgestone tires with 17-inch alloy wheels. Its gauge cluster is completely active with an LCD analog-style speedometer positioned in the navigation neck and second digital cluster on the handlebars. I am jealous of those Euro guys who would have an opportunity to ride over it.

If you analyze deeply, then we are on the verge of a new commuting age where coupe seems to be too bulky and incompetent considering the traffic-clogged cities and motorcycles too perilous and inflexible to become a big question against your survival. Then what next possible solution can be mediate? Possibly, their hybrid nature can be your savior. How about an automobile with a car appeal running on four-wheels, something that is not much wider or heavier than a bike with a feature to tilt for stability around the corners.

If asked Australian inventor Phillip James, then you would be offered with a revolutionary product that respects all your needs. The internal combustion version of his “TVA Gazelle” tilting 4-wheeler will make well over 100mpg due to the intrinsic USPs of the vehicle design and to your much surprise its steering wheel is absolutely isolated from the front wheels due to the Gazelle’s radical new steering and handling system.

James is reaching the concerned manufacturers in India and China to develop a functional product out of this vehicle concept and it is anticipated that the production version would cost less than $10,000. It seems to be a great solution with eco-friendly touch for coming years of revolution.

World’s fall short to describe this elegant beauty once owned by U.S. actor James Coburn. Yes, am pointing towards a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder that fetched $11 million at an auction in the luxury sports carmaker’s hometown of Maranello. And the proud owner to ink this pricey deal is a radio DJ, presenter by profession and a British national celebrity Chris Evans. This distinct 1961 model invited attention and rotated eyelids of the pool of visitors attending auction.

This atypical black translatable was one of 33 cars and scores of Ferrari memorabilia sold at the auction.

Other vintage model was a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM that generated sales of 4.5 million euros, an exciting opportunity for collectors to update their kitty. Besides this an autographed 2007 race suit owned by Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen fetched 11,500 euros.

Call it the best example of technology or unfortunate move for that blemished 16-year-olds engaged till date rendering service to you by carrying your golf accessories. With the unveiling of the Shadow Caddy (at present, for rental purpose only), now it’s possible that your golf club would follow you robotically. How it happens?

Pictured above is a three-wheeled cart that listens to the signal passed from a transmitter worn on the golfer’s body. By controlling the caddy’s setting from “Follow-Me” to “Park,” one thing is sure that would never inadvertently follow you into a dugout or onto the green.

It is on its job irrespective of the weather conditions and rides at a speed fast enough to help you maintain a fast walk. Currently, trails are being demeanor over it at four golf courses in Melbourne, Australia. Folks, the cart would fall into your low budget in juxtaposition to hiring a real being to carry your clubs for you. I am hoping to have its retail version soon.

Fusion is always seen as a weapon in the hands of designers. And the strength of this tool totally depends upon the creativity with which it is utilized. A Swedish designer Bo Zolland has lately proved this. Would you ever think of combining a coupe with a craft and riding in that utra-revolutionary product? Possibily not but can afford to give a thought of riding in such innovative creation. And here you can have one at your service if you give a green signal to Bo Zolland for putting his concept into production.

He united the 1963 Corvette Stingray along with the standard American muscle sedan and the outproduct of a watercraft is really striking. Bo Zolland effectively shaped this advanced and at the same time ultra deluxe watercraft. If it interests you then you can place an order to Stand-Craft a Swedish boat manufacturer and take pride in owning one. I wonder if the backseat passenger’s head is just inch away from the uncovered motor, but can take a long breath as it is still a concept.

In this era of surging oil prices, you must be looking for ways to cut down its burden on your wallet. But how easy or difficult it is; remains the question. Staying within the periphery of the home or commuting in a public vehicle is not a solution. Lately, I came across an automobile called the treadmill bike from BikeForest. If nothing else, then riding over this treadmill bike would surely be a smart call. Available at Bike Forest, it not only helps you save your wealth spent unnecessarily on fuel but also is a suggestible option that can help you burn extra fat. Those who happen to underestimate its potential should rework on their philosophy, as this dual-purpose device would cause no harm physically or financially.

You may be partially correct that those giantly SUVs riding on the open roads would outmuscle this light vehicle but look from other end as its revolutionary appeal is designed not only to turn heads but aims at breaking them. Thanks to its elevated design. Its wheels are good enough for any topography so that you can simply gert, set and go on this elite coupe putting the guzzlers to humiliation.

Check out the video:

The Weber press note reads: “For attaining a speed of 400 km/h, an automobile must have favorable aerodynamic features. The body of the WEBER SPORTCARS faster one measures 204 centimeters wide and 115 centimeters high. It is structured using ultra-light yet super-strong carbon fiber.

Also, another must-know fact is that state-of-the-art aerodynamics computer software and wind-tunnel testing were deputed to spruce the carbon-fiber shell for utmost directional constancy at the highest speeds.

It is known that the creative team at Non-Object believes in doing extraordinary things. Till date we have come across various real or concept-based models of motorcycles but the latest in news by Non-Object seems to have given them a backseat. Very beautifully they have buried the previous models and lit them so that no other model (may be conceptual) can stand next to it.

Called the “nUCLEUS” concept bike, its exterior design features “square against air” exciting motorbike that runs on a hydraulic system and lowers the body to the ground when inactive and raises it up when in motion.

Folks, unfortunately it is still a concept with a potential to turn into reality any good time.
