Have you ever wanted to be a race car driver, but are a little hesitant about the inherent dangers associated with hitting a wall at 200 MPH? The designers at Elite Sim Design have just what you are looking for. The problem with traditional simulators is the high cost of ownership. The Elite Racer Pro, is a fully functional racing simulator at a fraction of the price.
Do you have too many big boy toys cluttering up the front yard and not enough space in the garage for you collector car? The English built Cardok is the perfect solution. The unit utilizes a hydraulic lift that allows the storage of one vehicle underground and is strong enough to support a full sized SUV on top. Doubling the amount of parking space. But if you watched the video you already knew that.
The Southern California based company ChaseCam has just developed their latest application for the racetrack. The Dashware program allows you to combine in car footage with data acquisition information to create a custom layout of gauges that allow you to interpret exactly what your car was doing on the racetrack. Considering that ChaseCam has a history providing engineering development to the military, telecomm and biomed technology companies their products have proven themselves in stringent situations.
Midnight Club: Los Angeles is expanding, and on March 12th new downloadable content will be availabe for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The people over at Rockstar Games understand they are known for making some extreme games, so taking MCLA to South Central may have a certain expectation. But this isn’t Midnight Club meets Grand Theft Auto. Instead the violence is left at home, and in its place are some cool custom cars and some serious racing.
The South Central Premium Upgrade is the total South Central experience for Midnight Club: Los Angeles delivering nine new vehicles, 26 new races, 12 new battle maps, 10 new delivery missions, over 100 new red light races, new vinyl packs, new parts, new music and more. This is not going to break the bank either, the cost is $9.99.
One of the most difficult challenges for any automotive enthusiast is how to keep your car looking its best after you have dedicated an entire weekend of washing, waxing and meticulous detailing. Normally the car just ends up sitting in the garage with the cover on the whole time.
To coincide the launch of the Ferrari California, Officine Panerai has introduced a new watch in its "Ferrari Engineered by Officine Panerai" timepiece series.
This one may not be able to unlock your car like the Jaeger LeCoultre for the DBS, but it still looks cool. The main surfaces are finished with a brushed treatment, and the black dial has highlights in "Ferrari Red". Just like the Ferrari California, this watch will also be rare. Only 400 examples will be made.
Everything Italian is sexy, or at least that is the way it is supposed to be. This is the latest design from illustrator Tim Cooper, a potential product to be sold by Tonino Lamborghini. Tonino is the lifestyle brand associated with the automaker that sells everything from Bluetooth headsets to coffeemakers inspired by the flashy Italian automaker.
The stilettos are styled after the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and feature details from the actual car including a carbon fiber heel. Everything from headlights and air intakes up front to the scoops on either the side right in front of the heel (for additional cooling of course) are modeled after the road car. The sexiest feature is the black stripe with Supperleggera written in white that follows the contour up the shoe.
The Superleggera (car) featured a 530 HP V10 and would sprint from 0-60 MPH (0-100 km/hr) in 3.8 seconds. There is no performance data at this time, but sprinting in the stilettos is not recommended.
Because Bentley owners can’t be the only ones flaunting their purchase, the computer company Acer has released a new Ferrari "inspired" model. The Ferrari 1200 will be the fourth Acer computer with Ferrari stickers slapped on it. The computer features an AMD Turion X2 Ultra dual-core processor, wide-aspect 12.1 Acer CrystalBrite LCD display, 4 GB of dual-channel DDR2 memory, and enhanced graphics package.
Acer’s has a tendency in the U.S. to find its way into the bargain bin at Wal-Mart, so that may be the reason this laptop is currently only offered in U.K. markets. Once it does come to America, Acer can put you behind the keypad of this prancing horse today for an almost reasonable price (Acer’s Ferrari 1100 goes for about $1,800). But unlike the car, this one is guaranteed to depreciate quickly.
Practicality need not apply here. These pics were taken at the Tokyo Auto Salon where Liberty Walk & LB Performance showed off an accessory for the smaller baller.
These Lamborghini Murcielago-inspired ATVs may have more in common with the real Murcielagos then at first glance. They both have four-wheel drive, and the low profile tires ensure these ATVs will never go off road, just like the big Lambos. So we doubt we’ll see any gun racks on this one, but it’s defiantly an option for some little fun.
It’s a safe bet if you’re reading this, you’re a car person and you’re computer savvy. So this may just be one of those stocking stuffers you give yourself. Nothing says "Merry Christmas to me" like an optical mouse shaped like a Ford GT.
