The Amphibious Quadski by GIBBS

It seems that amphibious vehicles tend to have some pretty interesting names such as the Humdinga and the Scamander. And now, we have the Quadski. Although …

Yacht inspired by Aston Martin

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.

Intermeccanica 356 Speedster Black and White

Intermeccanica Custom Coach Builders

…Vancouver’s hidden gem.  Over the last few years I’ve seen quite a few Intermeccanica cars on the road, I knew they were based on the Porsche 356 Roadsters, but wasn’t sure who made them, and never really looked into the company until I saw them featured on a car show. Shortly after that, I met the owner, Henry Reisner, at the Vancouver International Auto Show.  The company was actually located right in my backyard (not literally).  They were located in Vancouver, Canada and in an area I visited quite often (the company has since moved to New Westminster, BC Canada – even closer to the Unfinished Man headquarters).

2013 MINI Cooper Paceman e1347866758811

All-New 2013 MINI Cooper Paceman

I didn’t think it was possible to come up with another variant of the MINI but here we are once again with a new model. This time, it’s the 2013 MINI Paceman, which is basically the coupe version of the MINI Countryman. Not including the special editions, the 2013 Paceman is the eighth variant of the MINI Cooper. The MINI Paceman Concept originally made its debut back in 2011 at the Detroit Motor Show.

The 2013 MINI Paceman is about an inch shorter in length compared to the MINI Countryman. The vehicle also has a lower roof height by 31mm and ride height is lowered by 10mm which helps in giving it a sportier look and feel.  The designs of the Countryman and Paceman are similar but the new model receives longer front doors, more muscular rear fenders, and completely different taillights to differentiate the models.

Hot Little Car – The Citroën Survolt Sports Car Concept

Citroën unveiled their hot little, all electric, Survolt Sports Car at the Geneva Auto Show in March.  The car was supposed to be a concept show car; however, Citroën is now planning on racing it at the Le Mans Classics on July 10th (short testing video below).  The car will be piloted by driver Vanina Ickx, daughter of the famous Formula One driver, Jacky Ickx.

The Citroën Survolt Sports Car has a really beautiful flowing design and it deserves to make it into a production car, of course with a few minor changes.  The car is very small, measuring only 12.6 feet in length, that’s the same size as the new Mini Cooper, is 6 feet wide and 3.9 feet high.  With these dimensions, the car should be very nimble and extremely fun to drive.  To top it off, the car

Red Bull Video Preview Of The Korean F1 Circuit

F1 Korean Racing Circuit - Formula One

I’m a big fan of Formula 1, however I don’t usually get a chance to talk about it.  Now there is something to talk about, the upcoming Korean Grand Prix.  We’ve heard a lot about the track still not being ready for racing (less than two weeks before the grand prix weekend) and there is a good chance the race could be canceled.  It would be unfortunate if the track is not finished by race day because judging by the Red Bull simulation video below, the track looks incredible.
