This little bugger will literally blow away the competition.

Crap flushed down the toilet from 70 homes is enough to power this car for 10,000 miles and has a top speed of 114 mph. Named the “Bio Bug”, this 2.0 liter VW Beetle is developed by Mohammed Saddiq of GENeco, a sustainable energy firm based in Bristol. Vehicles powered by methane gas is nothing new but what makes the Bio Bug unique is the fact that performance is not affected. What’s even cooler is the fact that the company is working on developing an engine that will also run on food waste, which would make this the most sustainable car around. The car is also able to run on standard petroleum if methane gas happens to be out.  My only two concerns with this car are the fact that they picked a VW Beetle as the prototype and the smell of the exhaust fumes. Last night was Mexican dinner and I’d be very concerned for public safety.

The Land Rover Evoque was first introduced in the summer of 2010, I believe the interior is designed by Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) or something like that, I don’t really pay attention to celebrities and their BS lives.  The original Evoque was a small 3-door SUV, that format used to be quite popular a couple of decades ago, not sure why it isn’t popular anymore.  Now Land Rover has released official pictures of the bigger Range Rover Evoque 5-doors, ahead of the LA Auto Show.  The five-door Evoque will go on sale after the three-door model sometime next year.

The 5-door Range Rover Evoque looks just like its little brother but is three inches taller and has the typical lines of a cross-over utility vehicles rather than the masculine look of the full-sized Range Rover SUV.

The Ferrari 458 Italia is one of the most beautiful modern-day supercars and is amongst our top five dream cars here at Unfinished Man.  The car is a bit expensive for the average Joe but fear not, the good folks at Amalgam Fine Model Cars have created an affordable version of the car.  They’ve produced an incredibly detailed 1:8 scale model of the 458 Italia.

The car looks amazing and the pictures can easily be mistaken for the real car.  It took engineers at the company 3,500 hours to create the master model and then 3,500 hours are spent on each production scale model.  The doors can be opened to show the beautifully detailed interior and the car is placed on a carbon fiber base with a clear acrylic dust cover.
