Mercedes-Benz does not represent the most opulent in the world wheels, but for lovers of the new S-Class who crave for a touch of opulence, German tuning specialist Carlsson has just the ride for you: the Gold Trimmed Carlsson CS50 Versailles. but why gold trimmed and not the whole damn car? because the gold treatment you see…
last week was a significant week for the aviation industry because the the world’s longest aircraft, the Airlander by UK-based Hybrid Air Vehicles finally took to the sky. measuring some 300 feet (91 meters) long, the Airlander is around 60 feet longer then the current biggest airliners, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8, and is nearly…
another auto show and the final piece of the puzzle is in place. we are talking about the third in a series of concept cars which Swedish automobile maker Volvo serves up based on the firm’s new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) and what better way then to wrap it up with an estate aka station wagon after the…
we seriously think today’s ‘household’ name hot hatches lack the punch and the ‘punch’ we are talking is not 100 or 200 horses machines, we are talking about something with a lot more oomph. something like, say, over 300 PS? a dream you said? well, not exactly because that’s what the Vauxhall Astra VXR EXTREME…

it is no secret that hoverboard as seen in the sci-fi movie Back To The Future II tickles the fancy of many, but we all know gravity-defying, standalone levitation is not going to happen anytime soon and the Onewheel Self-Balancing Electric Skateboard you see here is probably the closest you can get to that sci-fi exhilaration.
last year, when we heard wind about the prospect of Lotus motorcycles, we are pretty doped and we still are today. in fact, Lotus motorcycles is to become a reality, but the Lotus C-01 Motorcycles, as it is called, will not be built by the British maker of sports and racing cars.
you know how tree-hugging, avid motoring enthusiasts have been through all this while? constantly being torn between performance and yet being eco-conscious at the same time? that sucks. we understand and apparently, the das auto folks totally understand this point and decided it is time to add another Golf to the family – the Golf GTE.
