Adastra Super Yacht – 42.5 Meter Power Trimaran

Over 5 years in the making, the Adastra yacht finally made its maiden voyage in the Pearl River in China. Designed by John Shuttleworth Yacht Designs and built by McConaghy Boats in Zhuhai, China – the yacht is built for a Hong Kong businessman for leisure trips to his private Indonesian islands.

The Adastra Yacht has a price tag of $15 million and is considered to be one of the most fuel efficient yachts around with a top speed of 22.5 knots and a range of 4,000 miles (at 17 knots). The structure of the boat is crafted from carbon fiber with a Nomex honeycomb core and the hull is glass/Kevlar foam sandwich. To reduce weight, the interior of the yacht features light weight oak cabinets and carbon fiber hatches, ladders, portlights, and hinges.

World’s Coolest Go-Kart: GK2G by Beau Designs

Electric-Go-Kart-GK2G

The future is here! We present you the GK2G (Go Kart 2 Go), designed by Beau Reid of Beau Designs.  This is one of the coolest go-karts I’ve even seen, it’s so sexy, I would buy one in a heartbeat when/if it’s available.

The GK2G is designed to look like a Formula1 car and I believe they achieved that by the pure sexiness of the design (can you tell I really like this thing?).  The GK2G is an electric go-kart; it’s powered by lightweight lithium batteries and can reach a top speed of 60 miles per hour.

Unfinished Man at Jaguar Land Rover Experience Tour

A couple of weeks ago Jaguar Land Rover Canada put together an even called the “Jaguar Land Rover Experience Tour”, which consisted of track time with Jaguar cars and an off-road course for Land Rover vehicles.  We were invited to the event, which was a lot of fun, and I would like to thank Aleksandra Bulat for organizing the event and Dean Rideout from MCL Motor Cars.

The event took place in Mission, BC, where the Mission Raceway was used for driving Jaguar cars and an off-road course was specially built for the Land Rovers.  The part I was most excited about was the race track and driving the 500+

BMW X6 Body Kit – The X6 Interceptor

BMW X6 Interceptor 01 e1281475061884

A couple of months ago we wrote a post on the pimped out Lumma Design BMW X6M.  That X6 had the whole package, new wheels, suspension, interior, upgraded engine, and a massive body kit.  If you just wanted the body kit, you were out of luck.  Now there is a body kit available for the X6 that looks somewhat similar to the Lumma Design kit and you don’t have to upgrade the rest of the car.

I personally think the X6 is an ugly car that should never have been produced, and now it looks even uglier with this body kit.  The kit is produced by Met-R out of Russia and is called the X6 Interceptor, at least the name is cool.

Lamborghini Murcielago Replica – Ugliest Car To Exist

Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 China Edition

Not all of us have the funds to purchase our dream cars so we usually settle for something less. But for some folks, settling for less is not an option. So what’s a man to do if he refuses to settle yet he can’t afford the dream vehicle? Well duh, he gets a custom bodykit to make a replica of his favorite car. With that being said, allow me to introduce you to a vehicle being sold by an e-bay seller being passed off as his precious Lamborghini Murcielago replica. Other sites such as Autoblog and Carscoop are referring to this car as a Lamborghini Gallardo replica, but that is simply not the case. It doesn’t matter who is correct and incorrect (although we are right), the car is still a terrible replica. The original car is a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro which went in for surgery and got a major face lift. Not exactly sure what happened in the designing phase but have a look below and decide for yourself. I’ve seen some bad replica cars out there but this one is the “best” one that I have seen thus far. And if you weren’t aware, the picture above is what the real Lamborghini looks like.

fp45c10

June 23, 2011. Mark your calenders. The prelude to the 24 hours of Nürburgring will be an event you do not want to miss. The Nürburgring race track is where legends are forged on a 15 and half mile stretch of winding roads and notorious fatal corners such as the infamous Berwerk…the Mine.

So if you just happen to be Jim Glickenhaus, eccentric millionaire and former Hollywood producer/director/screenwriter gone investment banker with a penchant for rare and exclusive automobiles, then the only answer is to commission your own prancing horse Ferrari super race car. There’s a premiere of a video series by Kinetc Fin that will take you behind the scenes of the Ferrari P4/5 Competizione from it’s creation to the battle of Nürburgring.

Brabus Tuned Mercedes-Benz 800 Widestar

Brabus-800-Widestar-Mercedes-Benz

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class (Gelandewagen) is one of the most macho and capable off-road vehicles on the planet. I love the styling of it, and it is on my top three all-time favourite SUVs list (the other two are the Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Defender).

The well-known German tuning company Brabus has now unveiled their version of the macho SUV called the Brabus 800 Widestar;  according to the tuner, it is the world’s most powerful SUV.  The 800 Widestar produces 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque from the bi-turbo V12 engine, helping the 800 Widestar sprint to 62 mph in only 4.0 seconds- that’s pretty damn quick for an SUV that’s shaped like a brick and is almost as heavy as a tank.  The G-Wagon can reach an electronically limited top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h); without the limiter, the top speed is said to be 168 mph (270 km/h).
