The limited edition LP 650-4 (and really, what sort of Lambo isn’t “limited” to only the highest tax bracket anyway?) isn’t fucking around. Lamborghini released a bunch of new photos and details about the new Roadster and it’s looking pretty damn drool-worth. The LP 650-4 will feature a Grigio Telesto exterior, combining gray with bright orange for an interesting color scheme. And performance wise? It’s a monster. A new and improved 6.5-l V12 produces 650hp and 660 Nm of torque,... Continue reading

Dynamically Augmenting Wheel System, or DAWS, might sound like some sort of high-tech mumbo jumbo, and for the most part, it is pretty complex. The conceptually designed wheels are divided into eight separate parts which adjust to the car’s center of gravity without losing traction. You know how motorcycle wheels sort of shift under the driver’s weight as they turn? It’s sort of like that. The segmented wheels allow your car to have the effect of rounded wheels, without the lack... Continue reading

Even those of you who are more compelled to play with handheld gadgets (and bodily appendages) will not be able to take your eyes off of the incredible Spanish miracle which is the Tramontana R-edition. Utilizing aeronautical technology within a brute Formula 1 race car, the R-edition can go from 0-60 mph in about 3.6 seconds, and looks like it could get to the moon in about the same amount of time if one so desired. Only 12 Tramontana R-edition’s... Continue reading

While I’d rather walk than be caught dead riding a scooter these days (I mean, come on, so 2001,) I’d much rather rent a scooter than buy one full-price, especially if I happened to be too lazy to walk the city streets, which would never happen because I am a brute man of laziness and blubber strength and steel. What makes the Link Scooter System so cool? Well, for one, if someone were to spot you riding your scooter (the... Continue reading

Here’s a creative idea: take an old, radical skateboard deck and turn it into a usable chair. Aside from recycling and bringing new design to the living room, the Skede chair is available with a deck from Control or without a deck. That means you can add your own or Ryan Ash can add his broken NOFX skate deck. No fatties though, ’cause that deck acts as a third chair leg. Link [via]

Karl Lagerfeld wants you to know that even though he’s old and the head of Chanel, he can still crank out innovative, wallet-busting products that are completely unnecessary. Take this Chanel Segway, for instance. It comes with some ridiculously expensive Chanel bag, logos emblazoned all over the vehicle (including the rims) and has extra big tires for when you’re stuck in the sand in Laos whilst on a photo shoot. No word on price but if you have to ask…... Continue reading

Here in New York City, there are a few select parking garages that are an example of master engineering. In Japan, the same concept applies to bicycles. Giken’s Eco-Park system involves an underground storage unit that is earthquake-proof and can hold a good number of bicycles (~50). For about $30, you can store your ride here each month and retrieve it whenever you see fit. It only takes about 11 seconds to retrieve a bike, too! Students only have to... Continue reading

Hmmm, I feel like designer Elad Barouch directly copied from Atomic Mass’ See Saw Bike when he came up with the design. Hmm, maybe that’s because Elad is the designer of the See Saw Bike. Now it’s all making sense. It takes two riders and both steer in opposite directions. The catch, however, is that they face away from each other. Believe it not, the inspiration for Bi-Cycle came from couples counseling. Our hero designer explains: So the idea for... Continue reading

Gas prices may be hovering right now but we should be focusing on getting off foreign oil and getting on to the grid. The Wheego Whip is the car that can help us do just that despite being made by Chinese manufacturer Shuanghuan Automobile. It looks just like a Smart Car, except it’s actually an all-electric vehicle. For $19,000, you’ll get a plug-in car that can hit a 60 MPH top speed and does 50 miles on a single charge....

Benedict Radcliffe is an artist with a unique situation. He’s been creating beautiful fixed gear bikes over in London and the results are candy-like. Neon pink, orange, green and yellow adorn every angle of the bike, creating a look that even Naughty by Nature could appreciate. Too bad Benedict’s phone is ringing off the hook. The 1990s keep calling him; it wants the bike back. Link [via]
