Bugatti will soon be releasing a “Bugatti Veyron roadster”. Besides the new roof design, not much will change with the Bugatti roadster. You will still be able to cruise down the Pacific Coast highway at 252 mph… but now you can work on your tan at the same time! The design of the roof is not yet finalized and it is unsure if it will feature a glass targa type roof or a removable hardtop. The Bugatti roadster will still be powered by a quad turbo W16 engine that makes 1,000 horsepower (basically 2 twin turbo V8 engines smashed together) and it will most likely be otherwise identical to the 2008 Bugatti Veyron with all the same specs. And yes it will still cost $1,000,000+ dollars.

So start saving… the Bugatti Veyron roadster will be released in Read the rest of this entry »

Armet Armored Vehicles Inc. is the company resposible for building the “Gurkha.” That’s right, it’s called the ?Gurkha? and its a fully armored 19,000 lb ballistic SUV that has a top speed of 93mph and puts the Hummer H1 to shame. The Gurkha looks and acts like a tank. It is outfitted with: ballistic glass windows that can stop bullets from an AK-47, and high strength ballistic aluminum armor to protect you from roadside bombs (not to mention it will make you the center of attention when you pull up at the valet). The Gurkha will set you back about $200,000 but hey? you can?t put a price on your safety right?

The over-the-top Gurkha is likely to find a niche among celebrities who need that bling factor. In fact, the first civilian delivery is for a “well-known personality” in California and it will take place very soon. (Not sure but my guess is that the Gurkha will be added to Jay Leno?s car collection). However, believe it or not, the Gurkha isn?t just built to protect wrappers and celebs from their crazy fans. The Gurkha armored vehicle will also Read the rest of this entry »

Jay Leno recently unveiled his secret project at the SEMA auto show. All we know about this super car so far is that it’s built on a Corvette Chassis and powered by a Honeywell LT-101. This green supercar has been named “Ecojet” by Jay Leno. I doubt that Jay’s supercar will ever go into production but it sure looks sleak! I’ll update this post as soon as I have more info!

Do Jet fuel prices have you riding your bike to work while your jet sits in the hanger depreciating? Have you found yourself taking fewer vacations because you can no longer afford to take those weekend trips to Hawaii. Maybe its time to trade in that inefficient Cessna Citation or Eclipse 500 and consider a Honda!? Yup, leave it to Honda to come along with a more fuel efficient Jet. BUT WAIT! Don’t go running out to your local jet dealer just yet because the Honda HA-420 business jet will not be ready for another 3 years. Despite the fact that these jets wont be ready until 2010 the Honda Aircraft Company still managed to sell 100 of the HA-420 business jets durring the first three days it was on sale.

The Honda Jet HA-420 is a small 6 passanger business jet. Because the Honda HA-420 has a very light weight Fuselage it is 35% more fuel efficient than its competitors. The Honda HA-420 has a range of Read the rest of this entry »
