HTT Plethore LC 750 could quite possibly be the dream car you have been, looking for. The car is designed in an impeccable manner and you really can’t avoid or ignore its style and good looks.
It would be announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009 which would happen next week. The car would not be either left handed or right handed steering, but instead the driver would sit in the middle which allows the driver to control the car better in high speeds. The scissor doors open at an angle of 90 degrees and the amazing aerodynamics takes you by surprise.

Everybody knows the Batmobile and the hi-tech cars that Bond used to drive. These are supercars not just because the superheroes drove them but also because they are pretty super on their own right.
Dutch automobile company Spyker has been manufacturing awesome cars for almost a century now and their range of sports cars which they have been making for about a decade now are drawn from the experience of these years. Their latest sports car, the C8 Aileron Spyder, seems to be styled after their classic C8 Spyder SWB (short wheel base). The C8 Spyder SWB which was auctioned off at the sports & Classics Monterey auction was designed after the planes that the company made during its short stint with the aviation industry.

Sports cars have something wicked going for them because not a single person can pull their gaze away from it. Car aficionados, however, always believe there is room for improvement and thus takes the rebirth of a Mercedes SLR McLaren.
The Mercedes has been pimped up and blinged up making its new avatar awe inspiring and hard to cease gawking at. A front splitter and bigger spoiler with a revised diffuser at the rear increases the downforce by 300kg and sets the automobiles speed up to 217mph. Not to mention the increase in power from the 999hp engine. However, what really gives the car its luxury title and transcends it a Mercedes SLR McLaren Red Gold Dream is the 14k gold splashed extravagantly over it and the added richness of 500 rubies. Certain areas have been given a 24k gold coating to battle the effect of stress.

If you ever wanted to buy a small but a fast car, then maybe you should take a look at the “Tango”, the world’s fastest urban car. It’s ultra narrow and can fit in anywhere. So, space is not a problem for you to park the Tango. If you go by its size you might perhaps be disappointed and might underestimate its performance.
Tango is the perfect combination of the speed and agility of a motorcycle with the security and comfort of a high-performance sports car. The best advantage of Tango is, you can easily beat the traffic woes by changing lanes comfortably while you are stuck in a busy traffic. Although it is small, it can securely carry a reasonable amount of cargo. Besides, unlike motorcycle, it is safe, dry, and climate controlled as well.
Another plus point is that in extremely heavy traffic, Tango can travel in 20 seconds the distance that cars travel in 20 minutes. It can fit in a 6-foot half-lane. Tango can accelerate from zero to over 130 mph in one gear. It can also accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about four seconds and touches the standing 1/4 mile in about 12 seconds at over 100 mph. Now this sounds quite unbelievable but nevertheless, it’s true!

An aircraft that resembles a Sports Car! Thanks to ICON for unveiling A5 Folding Plane that would cost you a sum equivalent to a Maserati ($139,000). Expected to be commercialized by 2010, the two-seater lightweight airplane comes with folding wings (making it easing for you to install in your garage) and seat belt-like parachutes (offering you the accessibility to keep the whole thing down to the ground). It sports a high-strength, lightweight carbon fiber airframe and is motorized by a steadfast, 100-hp Rotax 912 and can fly at a speed of 120 mph.
Other specks detail an innate, sports car-like arena with MP3 port, and an amphibious design with retractable hallway gear for flying off land. It is inviting pre-orders at a refundable amount of $5,000 deposit.
