Part aircraft, part Formula 1 car and part racing yacht, the Ecotricity Greenbird recently broke the world land speed record; it’s the fastest wind-powered land vehicle at 126.1 mph.

With a transmission capable of 100ms gear changes, new exhaust system and a slew of weight-reducing mods, this SL 63 AMG definitely earns the title of official Formula 1 Safety car.

With 18 guest rooms, gardens and more, the Hotelicopter smells like an April Fool’s joke, but we’ll play along: it makes its maiden flight 6/26, so get those fictional boarding passes ready.

Like Samsung’s viral Sheep LED Art ad but for auto enthusiasts, this “Let It Shine” ad uses the headlights of Honda Insights lined up in a grid to create a gigantic LED screen.

Daimler Trucks’ Innovation Truck saves fuel with a wicked aero kit, a BlueTec diesel powerplant, air bladders that lower ride height and wireless tire pressure monitors.

The S260 is more powerful, but Sector111’s Lotus Exige comes close with 240+ hp, upgraded brakes and nearly all-carbon fiber bits that turn it into a track-ready, flat-bottomed supercar.

The fascia for Hyundai’s hybrid concept is more blue whale than BLUE-WILL, but we’re intrigued by the tech: roof solar panels and a Li-poly battery that plugs into a wall socket.

Similar to the Honda Insight’s dash, Ford’s Fusion Hybrid features a SmartGauge cluster which features two customizable LCD displays which show MPG, fuel levels and more.

Prindiville Prestige’s customized Lambo Murcielago replaces its body panels with carbon fiber and adds a titanium exhaust system, handle-less doors and an upgraded interior.

Kicherer’s E-Class optics tuning package is tasteful and minimalist with carbon fiber spoilers and 20″ forged alloy wheels; it also sports a tuned suspension and twin pipe exhaust system.
