Awesome Cars

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.

As if the original Caparo T1 wasn’t enough, this Race Extreme version bumps horsepower up to 575, good for a blistering 0-60 time of 2.8s; oddly, you can add A/C for $5.4k.

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.

The Engine Coffee Table is furniture for manly men: it’s wrapped in tattooed leather, inlaid with alligator and stingray skin and topped with a freaking carburetor and brass knuckles.

Scosche’s SolChat Bluetooth speakerphone is an elegant idea: attach it to your car windshield with suction cups, allowing its built-in solar panel to charge its Li-Ion battery.

From the same group that brought us Madrid Underground, NASCAR Underground shows off decidedly sexier undercarriages. We’re talking about the cars, of course… *cough* 0:03.

It’s not every day you get the chance to own a concept vehicle, let alone two: Ford is auctioning their GT coupe and convertible concepts, along with the first 2010 Shelby GT500.

The first pics of Lamborghini’s Murcielago LP 560-4 Roadster are up, and it’s a looker; it goes 0-62 in 3.4s, tops out at 205 mph, and gets a 6.5L V12 with 650hp and 486 lb-ft of torque.

Gun violence is bad, kids, but The Midnight Show’s video starring Andy Richter and a smug Prius owner echoes the sentiments of many; we particularly liked the Nissan pitch at the end.

We’ve featured the McLaren SLR Stirling Moss before, but Mercedes-Benz has dropped 25 smokin’ new pics that make us just that more envious of folks with 750k euros lying around.

As if an RC Grand Prix in the office wasn’t cool enough: this Vodafone viral video shows McLaren using a BlackBerry to control an F1 car with Lewis Hamilton at the wheel. Thanks, Mauricio!

The battle lines are being drawn for this Lamborghini Insecta concept; it’s the work of Romanian Iulian Bumbu and takes the brand in an organic direction inspired by insect exoskeletons.

Several big changes for Audi’s R15 TDI; the V12 is swapped for a lighter, more compact V10, aerodynamics are improved and a Li-Ion battery system increases power but reduces weight.

Naked but safe for work: Autoblog has a titillating set of pics showing the One-77 stripped down and showing its naughty parts; aluminum and carbon fiber never looked so sexy.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. breaks the world drifting record by 2000 ft. using an admittedly questionable technique: doing donuts in a 2010 Ford Mustang until his tires come apart.

Frances Gomes’ Dry Lake Racer is a modern take on the classic stock car; it’s basically a tubular chassis with central shocks and pivot arms around a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.

The EDAG bakes innovation right into its OLED skin, which displays lights and turn signals; the rear displays braking strength, road hazards and virtual middle fingers to trailing drivers.

Celebrating one year since the first production vehicle, the X-Bow Superlight is their premium model with carbon fiber body panels and wheel covers, LSD, and a crash box.

Increased space is the name of the game for Spyker’s C8 Aileron, recently unveiled at Geneva; the wheelbase increases by 5.9″ while an Audi 4.2L V8 powerplant pumps out 400bhp.

With 257hp on tap, Lotus’ Exige S260 Sport is the most powerful Exige ever; it also drops 50 lbs, allowing it to go 0-60mph in 4.0s with a supercharged 1.8L 4 cylinder engine.

The world’s fastest hybrid, Giugiaro’s Frazer-Nash Namir claims a top speed of 187mph; what really perks our ears, though, is the 1,200 mile range and a fuel economy of 91.7mpg.

Designed to wow the European market, the Infiniti Essence has done much more; gorgeous lines inside and out hide a twin-turbo 3.7L V6 and electric drivetrain with 592 brake hp.
