Who can resist to the fascinating pairing of Rolex and Pagani, united together for such an emotional spot. And the question is which machine ran out of fuel? Is it the V12 AMG Mercedes of the Zonda F Roadster that needs a fill up?

After the massive success in Turin, Berlin and London , the major city’s turn to host an original celebrations for the introduction is Tokyo. Japan has always been very attentive to the Made in Italy products. The launch will be march 15th the day of the “Sakura” the cherry tree’s blossom when almost all Japanese people celebrate this occasion by doing picnics beneath the cherry trees for around two weeks. The ultimate gossip/curiosity is that the new 500 will also be cast as the new car of the famous cartoon character which will turn 40 this year Lupin the IIIrd in the new animated feature called “Lupin the IIIrd, Green vs. Red”. In some of the older episodes one could see Lupin IIIrd driving the old 500.

And the winner is?

Meet the most practical Maserati ever – it’s an estate version of the Quattroporte. But it is a case of now you see and now you don’t , as the car is a one-off project that’s been commissioned by a Middle Eastern businessman whose identity is a secret. Italian coachbuilder StudioM was handed the task of constructing the Maserati wagon, which is dubbed the ‘Cinqueporte’ on account of its rear hatch. The project is still at the quarter-scale model stage, but the design is nearly finalised – and it’s clear extensive work will be needed to turn the saloon into an estate. Lengthening the roofline, repositioning the fuel tank and redesigning the rear seats so they can fold flat are just some of the alterations required. There is no word on the cost, but a previous customer paid StudioM €360,000 just to get a specially made interior for their Quattroporte – so it’s not likely to be cheap!

The official launch is for the 20th of february but this are some pictures which have leaked on the internet before that day. The reason why I put it here is that it is my dream car and it has been since Volvo decided to build a smaller sister to the VOLVO XC90...enjoy and as for me I keep dreaming...

Metal prices are soaring. And, police say, thieves are after your catalytic converter. Thieves are targeting catalytic converters because they contain trace amounts of platinum, palladium, and rhodium – all of which a crooks can sell for around $200 a pop. According to MSNBC, rhodium is one of the most expensive metals on the market, running for as much as $6,000 an ounce. Jennifer Krings, a spokeswoman for AAA, said, “These thieves are targeting shopping malls, school parking lots, busy business districts, and they are hitting these places in the daylight. A lot of the large passenger cars — SUVs, trucks and vans — have two, so those are a target.” Tony Murtell, manager of U-Pull & Pay in Philadelphia, said, “I’ve heard of people going into apartment complexes in the middle of the night — just taking a handsaw, getting up under someone’s car and sawing it off. They collect a few of them and take off somewhere to be recycled.” Los Angeles Police say that the Toyota 4Runner is the m...

If the normal E class don't impress you much and you wish to make it quicker to work Christie 's might have the answer for you and you still have enough time to take part in the car auction of the year. Mercedes-Benz will auction one of its original racing cars from the DTM, the German Touring Car Championships, to benefit the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The Christie's auction will close on April 4. The automaker said the minimum bid on the vehicle is €300,000. Bidders must send an e-mail to laureus-dtm@daimler.com to request a bidder card. (any one willing to lend me his laptop?) Gary Paffett won the DTM race last year in the Laureus AMG Mercedes C-Class. The hood alone is a standout, with autographs from Boris Becker and Niki Lauda. The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, which helps disadvantaged children get a "more positive outlook on life through sport," was co-founded by Daimler.

JUKKASJARVI, Sweden — In this video, Saab gives a tour of the its “Move your mind-room” at the spectacular ICEHOTEL.

The title on you tube tells it all Kawasaki: Maco balkanac, the original macho man from balkan jungle, observe it seriously if you can :) but once I saw this video I was left with 2 doubts. What does Kawasaki Motors think about this fantastic marketing ploy and will he make it to the final for the Malta Song for Europe and on to the European Song Festival?

Banana methane will power cars...Australia is in the forefront to use this new fuel first... We have already covered different methods of obtaining methane by fermenting (or better, digesting) some kind of vegetable. But we haven't yet gotten to banana waste. Growcom, one of Australia's leading horticulture organisations is going from the prototype stage to a commercial plant that transforms banana waste into biomethane, which then will be used in vehicles powered by natural gas. The processing plant basically consists in an anaerobic digester which treats the banana waste. There's more to it than that, as project manager and Growcom board member Keith Noble said, "An over-riding principle of the project has been to use locally available materials and expertise wherever possible. The system must also integrate with existing farm practices. If on-farm digesters are to have a commercial future they must add to farm efficiency and be simple to operate." Just in case ...

in the first video, one can see 2 proud owners of the Peel P50, out of which only 94 were built on the Isle of Man and the 1965 Peel Trident. As for speed it was arounf 40miles an hour but depended alot on what you had for breakfast! NO PARKING PROBLEMS AT ALL, just pull your car wherever you are going... in the following one Jeremy Clarkson goes to work in the Peel P50 microcar from 1963 and if as one expects, it is not love at first sight, it is funny how he is more then attached to this cheeky little thing. They are very rare to find cars and each on of them, if in good conditon carry a price tag of 40,000 STG, even if when you costed less then 200 english pounds and since they did more then 100 miles to the gallon, ir was cheaper to drive one of these then walk...
