Honda Civic tahun 2005 Extreme Flow JGTC Modification

Inspiration modification can come from anywhere. Hollywood movies for example, often become the basis for a modifikator to change the look of the car. This car is a car mimic the JGTC Honda NSX, because the owner likes to play the game Gran Turismo.
At first glance, anyone who thought that the car is white with green strip is the Honda Civic in 2005. But the fact it was the origin of the Civic this car. When given a touch of Rosella to the exterior, and mjm for the interior, the Civic now has a better look ‘cool
‘And’ muscular ‘, far from the beginning form.

Watermelon Car

this is a unique car that was parked in the mall area near the city of LA American, this car is very unique, especially in the paint outside, the car was deliberately given a paint color like this because the owner was fond of and like to eat the melon.
on the inside of this car just looks plain and simply wrapped with a red color like the original melon fruit, but the impression is that makes this car very very similar to watermelon fruit.
at first when going to the owner of this car modification reminded of watermelon fruit, because fruit is a favorite fruit, then from there created a crazy idea to make the exterior of this car as original watermelon fruit

WaterCar Python Offends All 5 Senses on Land And Water


py
A California company has combined a Corvette with a luxury speedboat and thrown in some jet ski to create a holy trinity of awesomeness it calls the WaterCar Python.
For around $170,000, you can pick up a Python rolling chassis and install a General Motors LS series engine of your choosing — from a used LS1 to the same mind-bendingly powerful LS9 found in the Corvette ZR1. Choose that level of insanity and WaterCar estimates the engine and transaxle installation should run an additional $30 to $50K.
Once installed, the Python will make short work of your trip to the boat launch with an average 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds. Once you get to the yacht club, stun your high society friends by driving the Python straight into the water, pressing one button to retract the wheels and another to start the jet. You’ll be gliding on a bright blue highway in seconds. Far from a glorified Amphicar, this baby can do 60 mph on the water.
In addition to being one of the absolute coolest toys we’ve ever seen, we can imagine high-speed police chases in L.A. might get a bit more interesting if suspects choose a Python as their getaway car.
On land, the Python is a custom-built hot rod that looks like a cross between a Chevy Avalanche and a Corvette. Out on Lake Havasu, where you just know one of these will show up, it’s a 20 foot luxury boat appointed with a polished wood dashboard and a leather wraparound bench seat — just like the Chris Craft you keep at your house in the Hamptons. Sadly, air conditioning, an automatic transmission and a hardtop are not currently available.
We’re especially amused by the dual set of safety and regulatory guidelines that apply to an amphibious motor vehicle. Headlamps and turn signals are to be used on land but green and red nautical lights are for use on the water. Not only do owners of the Python need to register their vehicle as both a car with license plates and a boat with marine stickers, but special amphibious vehicle insurance must be purchased unless owners want to buy both a car and boat policy.
On paper, the Python appears to be twice as fast on the water than its closest competitor, the Gibbs Aquada. We wonder how long it will be before someone smashes Sir Richard Branson’s record of crossing the English Channel in an amphibious automobile that he set in his Aquada back in 2004.

Impress Your Date With A Car Of The Future


Want to impress your friends and possibly score a girlfriend? How about purchasing this sweet-ass "Fastlane" car of the future? You can "Buy It Now" on eBay for a cool $15,000. But before you push the button: It's not really a car. It's a shell designed to fit on top of a Pontiac Fiero. Which is not included in the auction. So, yeah. It was designed for Universal Pictures by concept car maker Trans FX for use in a movie or something. I know it can't actually go anywhere, but I still think I want it. I'll just use a flatbed trailer to tote it to the bar and then slide it off into a parking spot. Then I'll proceed to get some lucky lady extremely drunk and ask if she wants to see my fancy sports car from the future. Hopefully she won't notice there's not a goddamn thing inside and will still make out with me while we're sitting on the pavement inside. What, where's my sense? I'll throw a tarp down. I may even add a boombox for some makeout tunage.
Five more pictures after the jump, including one of what you'd see during a makeout session.

Fuel Cell Highlights from the Los Angeles Show

Hot Wheels 10 Car Pack (Styles May Vary)

Honda FC Sport
Honda unveiled a fuel cell concept sports car, the FC Sport, at its press event, and had the FCX Clarity in the “Green Car” ride-and-drive held in conjunction with the Green Car of the Year program.
VW Tiguan Fuel Cell SUV
Volkswagen held a media event prior to the show at which it offered drives in three different fuel cell vehicles: the Touran minivan, Tiguan SUV and Passat Lingyu, a sedan developed in China. VW also detailed its advances in high-temperature fuel cells, a breakthrough it claims will allow simpler and cheaper fuel cell stack configuration because it will require less complicated cooling than other versions.
Kia Borrego FCEV
Kia unveiled its second-generation fuel cell vehicle, the Borrego FCEV at its press conference. This vehicle has a power stack that is almost 50 percent more powerful than the previous generation and uses a supercapacitor for energy storage, but also delivers an impressive 54 miles to the gallon.
Nissan X-Trail FCV
Nissan had its fuel cell vehicle, the X-Trail FCV, in the ride-and-drive. The new fuel cell stack in the Nissan doubles the power density of the previous generation stack and also achieves a 35 percent cost reduction mainly due to using half the platinum of earlier versions.
Chevy Equinox FCV
General Motors also had its Chevy Equinox FCV in the ride-and-drive program, one of 100 being used in its Project Driveway program that has thousands of regular citizens as well as key influencers evaluating daily life with a fuel cell vehicle.
Fuel cell vehicles certainly face challenges before becoming a mainstream product, but many in the industry and government still see them as the “holy grail,” capable of delivering all of the convenience and performance of an internal combustion engine without the pollution and greenhouse gases, or dependence on fossil fuel.
