Forget the tights and cockpiece, the PAL-V flying car will really turn you into Batman
Figures that the concept for a flying car would come from the Netherlands, a country famous for their lax drugs laws and the only place you can wander into a coffee shop on the street and come out with a hash-soaked strawberry milkshake. Ahh, memories…
A Dutch inventor, John Bakker, has created a flying gyrocopter tricycle, or ‘Personnel Air Vehicle’ (PAL-V), which has been in development the past six years and even received funding from private investors.
According to Born Rich, the…
Remote-Controlled Beverage Buggy :(
This is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a remote-controlled car for drink cans. When do drink cans ever need to be driven about?
And don’t go saying it’s a labour saving device, as the simple act of putting cans…
Vertu Ascent Ferrari 60 Limited Edition mobile phone for seriously rich fools
Upset that you and your moneybags missed out on the £280,000 INCOGNITO watch? More money than style and sense, and really feel like splashing out a few thousand today? Meet the latest mobile phone by Vertu, made in collaboration with Ferrari – the Vertu Ascent Ferrari 60 Limited Edition, for Google traffic’s sake.
It was only a few months ago they put out the previous Ferrari model, the Ascent Ferrari 1947 Limited Edition, but this latest one is to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the car company, and even more exclusive than its predecessor, with only sixty being made. Inspired by the Ferrari 612…

Then lunatic vehicle maker TRIKEtec has just the thing to ferry you at great speed between hair replacement surgery and the gym.
Despite looking like a death trap…
The Bugatti Volo toaster will be the closest you get to the real thing
Car company CEOs are clever sods. Long ago they realised only a slight percentage of the world can afford their expensive wheels, so to ensure they work their way into everyone’s households, they branched out into other products, often collaborating with other high-end manufacturers, like we saw with the Ferrari-branded Meridian F80.
Possibly the only affordable device from the world’s priciest car company, Bugatti has rolled out the Volo toaster for car fans whose closest encounter to a Veyron is downloading desktop wallpapers of the car. £140 does seem…
The Lightning GT – an electric car you wouldn't be ashamed to be seen in
While electric car buffs are a bit busy getting excited about the upcoming Tesla Roadster, British based Lightning Car Company has come out with a blinding little sporty concept of its own.

The Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT – solar powered concept car

Zaha Hadid's futuristic Z.car broom-broom-brooming towards the Guggenheim Museum
Ok, forget the electricity-powered Toyota I mentioned the other day, this baby is my new dream car. For, you know, when I marry one of the Jetsons and can fly and food comes in little colour-coded pills.
Currently only a prototype winging its way to the Guggenheim Museum in New York City shortly, it was designed by architect Zaha Hadid…
Bet Larry David thinks the new Toyato Plug-in HV car is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, preeeetty good!
What’s good for Larry David is usually good enough for us. That’s why we converted to Judaism, innit. Admittedly up until now I’ve always been a little hesitant about Toyota’s Prius car, even though Larry is obsessed with his – maybe it’s just the slight stigma that goes along with the car, that you’ll constantly be branded an eco-friendly twat.
For those who adore their Prius and want to get into Larry’s inner circle (I’d suggest going bald first), but think the car could be even more green, you’ll be jumping in your hemp clothing for joy at the news that Toyota has just announced a plug-in hybrid vehicle, the Plug-in HV…
