Infiniti Emerg-E Concept
Egad Brain. If you had asked me yesterday what the sexiest hybrid around was, I would said it's the BMW i8 Spyder without a moment's hesitation. Now though, there's a new lean mean green machine that has me thinking twice about who really is heir to that crown. Say hello to the Infiniti Emerg-E Concept. Based on the Lotus Evora platform, it's rumoured ...

BMW i8 Sypder Concept Car
[sws_blockquote align="right" alignment="alignright" cite="" quotestyles="style01"] It looks like a sex toy from a Tron movie... [/sws_blockquote] Last week I posted about the Lambo Aventador J being the perfect transformer car. This week, it looks like I've found the Megatron to last week's Optimus in the form of BMW's new i8 Spyder. The BMW truly is ...

Lamborghini Aventador J is the perfect Transformer car.
I've always thought that the Transformers was a little off. I mean, if I was going to make something that could transform into a car, it would be the fastest, most bonkers car you could think of. Not a truck made to lug furniture around. And it would be bloody sharp too, so I could nick the noses of the other Transthingies and make them cry. Now Lamborghini ...

Tommy Kaira GTR spoils my year.
Just when I thought that I had finally made peace with the fact that I won't be getting a GTR this year, Tommy Kaira and his band of crazy tuners and designers have come along spoiled my year. You see, I was over the GTR. I really was. We'd moved on and were past the awkwardness, the blushing and the foot shuffling. It didn't matter if I happened to see ...

2010 VW Polo actually looks good, surprises everyone
I first caught a pic of the new Polo over at iMod, but after doing a bit more sniffing, the newest iteration of vee dub's road impala is actually looking pretty impressive so far. If the new VW ad is to be believed, then the 2010 VW Polo is quite a stunner. Polos have always held an odd place in my automotive opinion - they were nice, but not ...

Lamborghini creates Batmobile disguised as shoe
Lamborghini has released a new concept car, the Ankonian, named after a bull type famous for its black hair. It's not the prettiest piece of design I've seen, but it certainly is interesting and inspires a bit of debate (which I think is part of the point of good design). At first glance, I thought it looked a bit like the next batmobile. Then I ...

Please get me this for Christmas
Over the course of the last 18 months, I've gone from mildly interested in stuff with four wheels to being able to quote stats, specs and laptimes for any number of four wheeled wonders. This is mostly down to finally having a car that can do more than 90 and can hustle a bit of parking at a restaurant. Anyway, now that I'm all in to cars, I figure that ...

Bugatti Veyron
After going back through a past I did a while back on the rumoured BMW M8, my interest in the Bugatti Veyron was renewed, so I did a little digging on it.Irresponsible. That's my first reaction. Anyone who designs a car that burns 5l of fuel per minute should be called irresponsible. When that same engine produces 1000hp, you call them sir. When it costs a ...

South African gardener pioneers green Nissan 350z
When I removed my headphones about an hour and the sounds of the real world came flooding in, I was welcomed by the sound of a lawnmower. Now lawnmowers as a whole don't have a particularly pleasing tone, but what made this one worse was that I new my car was standing close to the grass. A quick glance through the window confirmed what I suspected - the ...

So long to the Z
Last week I spent a long time doing my budget. A looong time. The purpose of all the number fiddling was to figure out how I'm going to get my mits on the new Nissan 370Z. After the 350Z, its' one of my favourite cars. As you can see, she's a real pussy magnet So, step one is to sell my current 350Z. She's been very well loved and looked after and I ...

The BRT system is designed to be a low cost, high speed transport system to be rolled out in all cities playing host to 2010 world cup matches.While I haven't got the full story yet, I suspect the taxi drivers ...
