Voyage 55 Yacht Inspired by Aston Martin

Yacht inspired by Aston Martin

When you think of high-end luxury yachts, does Aston Martin come to mind? If you said yes, that’s one hell of a lucky guess. We don’t normally associate the Aston Martin name marine recreational vehicles but one European design house thinks a little differently than most others.

Luiz de Basto Designs have created a concept Voyage 55 yacht which is inspired by luxury-sport vehicles such as the Vantage, DBS, Virage, and Rapide. Now imagine those beautiful cars but on a boating platform. What you get is the “Aston Martin” Voyage 55. The Voyage 55 features two-person seating up front, luxurious interior, light luggage space, and plenty of room in the rear for a party. But the main selling feature of this boat is the unique design.

190 foot Veloce yacht

The Australian based design studio, Odyssey Yacht Design, has unveiled their 190-Foot super yacht, the Veloce. That name was given to it as it best expresses the vivid exterior styling of the boat. The Veloce super yacht screams power, speed, and performance. The yacht is able to deliver dramatic styling and latest technology while having environmentally conscious yachting in mind.

The Veloce is able to accommodate 12 guests and a crew of up to 12 as well. This luxury yacht features four spacious entertaining areas on the outside of the boat alongside a garage on the lower deck that can be configured to house a number of various water crafts.

SsangYong Korando Sports Pickup Truck e1349852637166

Ssang Yong Korando Sports Pickup Truck

I really can’t picture people in the UK driving trucks. When I think of that region, small cars usually come to mind. But South Korean manufacturer, SsangYong, is now selling their Korando Sports truck in the United Kingdom. The small pickup truck is priced between $29,250 and $34,000.

The small, four door pickup truck, features a short bed providing 22 square feet of loading area. The Korean car manufacturer is hoping to market the vehicle to the UK citizens who need a working vehicle, the practicality of a four-wheel drive, towing capacity of up to 2.3 tons, and also so as a family vehicle.

Transformers 3 – Bumble Bee As Datsun 510

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stars in Transformers 3

Word on the street is that in the upcoming Transformers 3, Bumble Bee might be disguised as a Datsun 510. I’m a big Datsun fan and have my own little Datsun 260Z project going at the moment. The Datsun grease monkeys should be pretty excited about this. Check out the pictures below of a scene being shot. Pictures also include hottie

Restored Maserati 250f Photo-Shoot by Bernd Kammerer

Bernd-Kammerer-Maserati-250f

Photographer Bernd Kammerer takes us on a ride in a beautifully restored Maserati 250f, through the streets of Hamburg, Germany.  While he was at it, he took some pictures too (because that’s what photographers do).  The pictures remind me of the simpler times of the 1950’s (I’m assuming they were simpler) and the simple cars that were so much more than the cars we drive today.

Now a little more about the beautiful Maserati 250f, the car pictured by Bernd Kammerer is one of only 26 cars produced and was built to win races, in style.  The Maserati 250f is powered by a 2.5 liter Maserati A6 straight-six engine, producing 220 bhp at 7,400 rpm.  The 250f won eight grand prix races and was once piloted by Juan Manuel Fangio.

Shelby Cobra Replica: Factory Five MK4 Roadster

Factory-Five-MK4-Roadster

The iconic Shelby Cobra combined British styling with American muscle, the little roadster is one of the most famous cars in the world and if you were to ask any man to name their top 5 classic cars; 90% of the time the Cobra will be on that list.  Unfortunately for 99.9% of those men, they’ll never own a real Shelby Cobra, fortunately for them (and us), there is the Factory Five MK4 Roadster – Cobra replica.

Factory Five has been manufacturing Cobra replicas since 1995 and this latest version is the company’s fourth generation of the Cobra roadster replica.  The MK4 Roadster comes in two options; the basic kit ($12,900) requires a donor ’87 to ’93 model year Ford Mustang or the complete kit ($19,995).  The “complete kit” isn’t really complete as it still requires powertrain, paint, wheels and tires.  Still not a bad price, in my opinion, for a very sweet ride that’ll surely get you laid
