Aston Martin DBR1 race car is a legendary car that won many prizes like the Le Mans and also the World Sportscar Championships in 1959. Here are some cool TMB’s exclusive Aston Martin DBR1/2 Essence of Form links which not only look good but are also made using the original aluminium parts. The car was driven by Carroll Shelby who was victorious in 1959.

The cufflinks are made of solid 18 carat gold and just 50 pairs would be available worldwide. They cost about $3000 each and are some of the most expensive cufflinks to be ever manufactured. Aston Martin itself is one of the most cars in the world and will cost up to $25 million. I would so love to get it for myself but I can certainly not afford something so expensive as this.

If you can’t afford an Aston Martin either, you should go ahead and get yourself at least these cufflinks which would be amazingly chic when you wear them on your cuffs. there was a time when wearing cufflinks translated to being dandy but now it is all about being chic and cool, and if you can pull it off, you can wear just about anything.

I had never wanted a car that looked ordinary and dull. I always wanted something that was out of the ordinary and something that stood out from the rest. At the same, I am very particular about cars that save energy and that which are not gulping down gallons of crude oil.

If this is how you think as well, you might like the concept BMW Lovos (Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity) which has been the work of BMW and Anne Forschner, a student at the German Pforzheim University. The concept comes with scale shaped solar panels that make your car look like a futuristic dinosaur and also see all the reflective solar light and convert that into energy.

The scales can be opened and closed just like fish scales and you could expect the car to look really cool. I would so love to get a piece of this car, only if it is manufactured in real. Most of the times, great cars are never available in the market because most of them end up being just concepts without ever seeing the light of the day. If you would like to drive a car like this, I would say you will have to mod an existing car with solar panels that look like scales.

Design Boom organized the Green Life Competition in Incheon, Korea in collaboration with 3709 designers from 96 different countries. While there were several cool designs in the competition list, one that caught our fancy and also the one that received about 1171 votes was the “Shelf” designed by Leon Zhu from China.

The Shelf is a device that can be attached to the back of the car and when your car is parked or when there is a lot of sunlight, you could cover your car and protect it from harsh sunlight. Moreover, the Shelf converts the solar energy into usable electricity that can be used to power the Air Conditioner in your car. It can also be used as a rear wing so that you get a lot of stability while driving at breakneck speeds.

It can also provide energy for other devices such as tail light and electronic equipment. I would have loved to get it for myself, but unfortunately it might not be available in the markets as it is not released to the retail market. Thanks to the solar cell board, it is one of the greenest devices around. Just keep your eyes open for a device like this.

There are many things in life that I do not like. One of those is the tiny car. A car is supposed to look like a car and not a toy. Not only do small cars turn me off, but they annoy me to the car. Many people share my views as well. However, the large majority seems to think that they look cute and attractive and Peugeot seems to be thinking on those lines as well.

They have launched their new electric car dubbed the BB1 which can seat 4 people if they are all shoved inside. It is apparently half way between a car and a scooter. The BB1 is an electric car that runs on green fuel apparently. While all that sounds nice I would have just wished to see a car that comes with enough space for your 3 other friends while you drive.

At least, the backseat must have enough space to get naughty if you went out with your man. Shouldn’t it? There is no information about its price or availability but I am sure such small cars would soon enter the market to depress me further. Of well, this car is on the luxury blog because most people would think this is chic, and also EVs are usually damn expensive.

Sometimes all that you would ever want to do in life is to take a ride on the highway on your bike and speed away forgetting all the miseries and worries of the world. However, bikes need a lot of gasoline and that is not really good for our environment. Thus, you would need to consider the implications of using a gasoline bike and avoid using it altogether.

A better choice is to buy an electric bike that is cool, futuristic and fast enough for the average highway. Mavizen has launched their 130 mph electric bike that not only looks awesome but is also pretty futuristic. It comes with a built in web surfer, Wi-Fi and Linux. Imagine if you could stay online when you are riding on those desert highways!

However, you would need a Wi-Fi connection in order to be able to browse Internet while on this bike. The TTX02 buy Mavizen is being touted as the laptop on wheels, and I am sure you would love to have it for yourself too. The bike can be customized to suit your need and you could perhaps get the latest software installed as well! It however costs a prohibitive $41,300.

If you always found it difficult to get inside cars when it was raining, it was perhaps because there would be a car behind you constantly honking or the rain was making you feel miserable. Hence, presuming you hire taxis, it would be awesome if Daihatsu’s quirky-looking DecaDeca concept is used as taxis in our cities.

The car comes with amazing doors that can be slid easily and pushed back and forth. The low level entrance makes it easier to get in and the interiors are just awesome. Of course, this car is not entirely meant for being used as a taxi, but no one would want to own this car which does not look that great. However, to be used as a taxi, it really is an amazing design.

Daihatsu’s quirky-looking DecaDeca concept is not yet going to be manufactured and it might take a while before any such decision is made. If the taxi operators contact the company, they might be able to manufacture the cars on a larger scale. Moreover, the car is quite low on emissions and is thus great to be used as public transportation in big cities. So go ahead and pester your authorities!

There is nothing better than a bagful of diamonds, they say. However after Swarovski crystals became popular, a woman’s best friend is no more diamonds but these wonderful Swarovski crystals as they are not only more affordable but also far more versatile.

It would be amazingly easy to mod any product with these cool Swarovski crystals and make them all go bling. Take this bike for example. Studded with Swarovski crystals it could make any heads turn and in fact if you rode it on the street people would definitely follow you to rob you. I am sure even women would love to ride this beauty and so would men. The crystal clad MZ motorcycle is one of its kinds and I would love to buy one for myself.

However there is no information about how many crystals were used and how much it might cost to buy this bike. You could always request your local Swarovski crystals dealer to deliver you loads of these shiny goodies so that you can mod your bike or car with crystals as well. And if it turns out to look good, don’t forget to write to us. We would always love to feature anything that has got crystals in it!

The Mustang is an all American car that has been made famous by Ford. The car almost represents the automobile culture of the people from the other side of the Atlantic. It is known for its compact nature and the speed which it delivers.

Even after many decades of its launch, people are still designing cars that resemble the Mustang in some way or the other. Here is a cool and luxurious conceptual car by Mustang-experts over at Saleen. The S281 comes with an amazing body and the deep red colour only makes it irresistible. If you were to take on the highways with a car that is definitively powerful yet compact, you would choose this amazing S281 Mustang.

Unfortunately, it is still a concept and it might take a while for us to know if this car is ever going to hit the markets. Meanwhile, you could try and get a Mustang for yourself and take a drive along the highways, and who knows! You just might be able to purchase the Mustang S281 by Saleen when you return from your road trip! I would so love to get this car for myself.

If you were looking for a cool concept car, look no further. I just came across this wonderful and almost futuristic TVR Artemis which has been designed by Niels Van Roij. It is named after the Greek goddess of Hunting and the car’s body is made of high quality engineering while a down force is given thanks to the under hood spoiler system.

The very same system also helps to cool down the car. The car is extremely lightweight and the slits on the body of the car are illuminated by LEDs at night. This allows approaching cars to identify the Artemis from a distance and save the occupants from disastrous car crashes.

The wheels have a rather strange design and thanks to which the car also can move along with less friction. It has a retro sci-fi look but in my opinion the car would not make it to the mass market. The reason for this is that most people would not like to drive anything that is extremely futuristic, no matter what. There is no information about its price or availability as it is still in the conceptual stage.

While one of its key functions is to ease traffic congestion in big cities, it takes care of the dearth of parking space availability to residents of apartment buildings in a big metropolitan area, just as business districts can sit pretty with the ease in parking woes.

This car, can ride smooth on the roads, has two in-wheel motors on its rear besides two battery cases, its wheels are hidden inside the structure, has rotating arms that can help a vertical and horizontal drive. The car, can ride vertically in what they call the Balcony mode, meaning, it turns 90 deg to become a balcony.

When it turns a balcony, its seats are positioned on a rolling base that allows them to become lounge chair for the user to relax in. Wishing it comes true? Wait till it becomes real.
