Ducati Monster 100 Bulgari Vilner 1

Vilner Tuned Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari

Not a week goes by where we don’t write about a tuned car, however, it’s pretty rare for us to write about tuned motorcycles.  I guess because motorcycles (sport bikes) are already highly tuned by their manufacturers to squeeze out every ounce of performance from those small engines and there isn’t much bodywork that can be enhanced/tuned by aftermarket tuners.  There are rare occasions when a tuner works their magic on a motorcycle, in this case, the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari tuned by Vilner.

I’m not sure if this project is a collaboration between Vilner and Italian luxury goods retailer Bulgari (Bvlgari) or the “Bulgari” is referring to Bulgaria, the country where Vilner is from.  According to Vilner, the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari’s design is inspired by a praying mantis that’s moving gracefully while performing Kung Fu… or something like that, see their quote below.

World's First Underwater Aircraft

Necker Nymph – World’s First Underwater Aircraft

World's First Underwater Aircraft

There are very few guys out there that can be considered a finished man. Besides Jonathan Goldsmith, the most interesting man in the world, I would say that Sir Richard Branson comes in at a close second. Branson has pretty much done it all and is one of the richest people in the world. He has spent plenty of money on commercializing space flight, completed ridiculous across the world adventures, and now he is ready to conquer the sea.

His company has designed a catamaran called the Necker Belle which happens to be one of the fastest on the water. The cool thing about the Necker Belle is that it boasts the world’s first underwater aircraft dubbed as the Necker Nymph.  The Necker Nymph is a three-person aero-submarine capable of diving down to a depth of 30 meters to explore the deep without using any human power.

Limited Edition Prindiville Design Land Rover Defender

Limited Edition Prindiville Land Rover Defender

You know it’s a good day at Unfinished Man “headquarters” when we discover a newly tuned Range Rover Defender.  This time the Defender is tuned by a British company called Prindiville Design.  Only 25 of these individually numbered Defenders will be produced.

The Limited Edition Prindiville Land Rover Defender is based on the current model Defender 90 short wheelbase.  The 2.4 liter turbo-diesel engine now produces 190 horsepower, up from 122, and 339 pound-feet of torque.  The increase in power comes courtesy of a high-flow intercooler and a stainless steel exhaust system.  The “sprint” to 60 mph now takes 10 seconds vs. 15.9 seconds in stock form.

An Electrified Supercar – Mercedes Benz SLS AMG E-Cell

Following in the footsteps of the Porsche 918 Spyder, Mercedes-Benz have announced their own electric supercar called the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell.  The car is based on the gasoline powered SLS AMG and looks just as beautiful as that car.  If you’re lucky enough to own the electric version, you’d be able to sleep better at night knowing you blasted around on the autobahn at 200 mph without creating too much pollution (other than the tire smoke).

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell has 526 horsepower and 649 pound feet of torque and can reach zero to 60 miles per hour in four seconds and the engine can rev up to 12,000 rpm (numbers provided by Mercedes-Benz).  The car is powered by four engines, each engine powering a wheel and is placed low in the car for improved handling.  Electricity is stored in 324 cells in its lithium-polymer batteries which are placed in front of the firewall, in the center tunnel and behind the driver and passenger seats.

Ultimate Chinese Knock-Offs of Cars

BYD F8 vs. Mercedes CLK
Yep, it’s true –  both of them look like a Mercedes at a quick glance. The trouble, is that the similarities stop the moment you take a closer look. Besides the front fascia and the fact that they are both convertibles, there is not much else to compare between the two cars.  The yellow car you see is the BYD F8. BYD (Build Your Dream) used to manufacture cell-phone batteries. The CLK is a rear wheel drive available in a V6 or V8 and prices range from $47,000 to $62,000. The F8 is a front wheel drive car powered by a four banger and priced at $27,000 to $29,000.
