A car manufacturer has announced it is on the verge of creating a three-wheeled electric sports car that can travel faster than a Porsche.

The enviromentally friendly ZAP Alias will cost £15,000 and does 0 to 60mph in just 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 156mph.

The futuristic-looking two-seater is being developed with the help of British car company Lotus.

Did you know one of out every five Bugatti Veyron’s sold is in Dubai.

How do you make your $1.3 million car more exclusive? You get the Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang (a really lame name) limited just to 5-units worldwide these special-edition Veyron were all immediately sold at a $300k premium.

Pur Sang means ‘Pure blood’ in French and the chromed Veyron is differentiated by its paintjob, or rather, lack thereof.

The body panels were assuredly polished but left in their natural state of aluminum and carbon fiber, the separation between which does not follow along the lines of the traditional Veyron’s two-tone color scheme.

Swiss-engineered underwater car is the stuff of Bond movies.

The sQuba will cost you $1.5 million, but I urge you to look at this as an investment. I mean, come on, we’re talking Bond women, right?

Rolls-Royce does things differently.

Doors open backwards, hood ornaments are powered, engine displacement is measured to two decimal places, and headliners are designed to mimic the night sky.

Even the company’s product launches are unique. At the 2008 Geneva show, Rolls-Royce will formally announce the Phantom Coupe. This comes over a year after the Phantom Drophead Coupe was launched.

This is not your ordinary coupe/convertible timeline.The fixed-head Phantom is expected to be much like its convertible precursor. The same 6.75-liter V-12 sits under the long hood, making a familiar 453 hp and 532 lb-ft of torque. The Coupe can be equipped with the starlight headliner seen on the 101EX concept and also available in the four-door Phantom.

Acclaimed Corvette tuner Specter Werkes has announced its newest model, the GTR.

With a complete tuning package of carbon fiber body enhancements, engine tuning, suspension enhancements and a choice of Forgeline or HRE wheels with Michelin tires, the GTR aims to further enhance the appearance and performance levels of any current model Corvette, including the ZR1.

The GTR package starts with a base price of $34,995, with a variety of high-performance powertrain options.

Because we all know that the rich can never be too comfortable, EDAG set about to improve the ergonomics of the stately Phantom. Their solution was to develop and articulated roof over the rear seat area so that passengers could get in and out of the car more easily.

By simply pressing a button, the driver or passenger can activate the specially developed electronic controls, and raise the hydraulically powered roof segment with practically no sound whatsoever.
