The First Electric Lamborghini
While Tesla is still the head of the class in terms of electric super cars, there are plenty of auto-enthusiasts and Lambo devotees who still don’t have an alternative green vehicle to add to their luxury car collection. Designer Andrei Avarvarii designed the Lamborghini Minotauro as a smooth and voluptuous green alternative to the angular and sharp design of the Lamborghini Reventon. The Minotauro is powered by a Li-Tec flatcell battery pack located in the rear and a KERS system... Continue reading
Pimp My Rascal: The Fastest Mobility Scooter Suped-Up for Driving at 69 MPH
Just because grandma has two bad hips doesn’t mean she’s not a bad-ass. Traveling at a maximum speed of 8 mph isn’t her style. It never was. Which is why she wore roller blades with motors on the back everywhere she went until she was in her 70s. But time has taken its toll, and grandma is reduced to riding around in a soul-sucking mobility scooter, leaving a bored, hollow, yet surprisingly mobile, shell of a body. But things are...

Eyelashes for Your Car
You have no idea the jealousy your car is capable of. About 80% of all car accidents are caused by your vehicles spite for the way you’ve been treating it. Sure, I’ll take you to get a manicure. Trip to the salon? Sure, no problem. No problem at all. Though I must say it’s funny how you have all this time to beautify yourself, but can’t take a few minutes out of your day to keep me clean or, dare... Continue reading
Zipper Boat Unzips The Naughty Ocean’s Pants
Japanese artist Yasuhiro Suzuki built this boat to look as if it were unzipping the water if seen from an airplane or helicopter. The effect is quite good and the ocean seems to love it, dirty slut that it is. Seriously, a $250 dinner and you never call? Screw you ocean! Virgin my ass. After the jump check out the Zipper Boat in action, complete with the ocean’s little striptease. So you did send the video to other people! I... Continue reading
Human-Powered Car Can Travel at Speeds Up To 60 MPH
If you’re devoted to leaving as little of a carbon footprint as possible, or if your name is Fred Flintstone, the HumanCar Imagine PS by Charles Greenwood is one of the greenest vehicles you’ll ever see. The HumanCar sits four and is powered through human power via cranking / paddling. When four people are cranking away, the car can travel at speeds up to 60 MPH on human power alone, though there is a reserve electric battery for occasions when... Continue reading
Seabreacher X Takes Shark Week to a Whole New Level
While this isn’t the first-time that Seabreacher has introduced a trailblazing, adrenaline-gushing, limit-pressing submersible water vehicle, this is by far their most extreme creation yet. The Seabreacher X starts where the Seabreacher J left off. Now with a Shark-inspired body rather than that of a dolphin, the Seabreacher X boosts the performance with a 260hp supercharged engine, allowing the vehicle to travel at speeds of 50 mph on the surface and 25 mph underwater. The Seabreacher is capable of jumping... Continue reading
Terrestrial Shrub Rover Recreates the Old Cartoon-y Moving Shrub Hiding Trick
Don’t mind me, I’m just a harmless little shrub… on wheels… with a stalker inside… taking pictures of you bent over. The Terrestrial Shrub Rover, built by Justin Shull, is a movable shrub with enough room inside for one person and three LCD cameras (or about 300 of these mini-cams). A remote webcam version is still on the workbench. Hit the jump for a video of the shrub in action.
Carstache Makes Your Vehicle More Sophisticated
Once your car has a mustache it’ll never want to return to its hairless ways. Just look what happened to Alex Trebek once he ditched his mustache. Rumor has it that he was mauled by zebras and his current replacement is a scientifically-created genetic clone. Luckily the government knows better now then to leave our nations game show hosts unduplicated. Chuck Woolery, you’re next. With that said, Carstache reestablishes a dose of dignity and sophistication to your car that was... Continue reading
Old Bumper Cars Modded Into Street Legal Vehicles
Everybody loves riding the bumper cars. It’s even more fun when you’re with your friends and you get to bash the hell out of them. Not that I would know anything about friends. Do you think I seriously have any time for anyone else but you, sweet sweet reader? *sniff* But enough sympathy for the lonely, pathetic blogger. Check out these old bumper cars which have been turned into street legal vehicles. I wouldn’t recommend trying to cause fender benders... Continue reading
Kvant Motorbike: A Dream Vehicle for the Residents of Planet Hoth
When I first saw the these renderings of the Kvant Motorbike, sort of a cross between a snowmobile and a motorcycle, my first thought was “Wow, those really would have been a convenient way for the Rebels to get around Hoth. The tauntauns just didn’t seem to be cutting it.” Wouldn’t most people be dreaming about owning one of these babies themselves, rather than worrying about the comfort of Luke Skywalker? I think I have issues. (Though, to the tauntauns... Continue reading
