2011

The engineering marvels at Hennessey Performance can give the pros at Dinan a run for their money. A perfect example is the Hennessey V700 Cadillac CTS-V, which sports over 700 horses. Going peddle to the metal in this beast causes a 0.99 g-force at start, 128 mph at the end of 1/4 miles and a call to OnStar (see video). Although, we would hate to worry the representatives at OnStar, we have a feeling they would receive quite a few calls if we were driving.

Inspired by French bicycle design of the 50’s and 60’s the folks at LINUS have created a bicycle that preserves the simple elegance, and pure form of that golden era but has all the benefits of modern comfort and reliability. LINUS is the utilitarian, city bike… simple and reliable but with a personality and style that makes you feel like you’re in an old French movie. You can choose from a variety of styles and colors to get you in the scene you are looking for. There are also a number of accessories so you can give it that custom feel.

The Look 596 Ipack Mondrian is a premium road bike specifically designed for triathlons. Aerodynamics and speed were the key factors in design which can be easily spotted by the aggressive look of the bike. Each angle and shape of the frame was analyzed for optimal performance while maintaining the stiffness and stability required for a race bike. This is a bike for a more serious breed of riders.

Whoa there Ford, we thought the Mustang was cool but this is a whole new level. The EVOS, which unfortunately is a concept, shows the path that Ford is trying to take. This plug-in hybrid not only connects to an outlet but the tech cloud of the future. Through the EVOS, you will have the ability to customize your experience and obtain almost anything you want through the cloud-connected interface, which is all pretty cool. The gull-style doors are a nice touch too… it’s like the Delorean of the future…

It’s time to open your mind to more circles in your bike frame. RoundTail is arevolutionary design that greatly reduces harsh vibrations that would otherwise translate directly into your spine while riding. There are a pair of rings directly beneath the seat that act as absorbers which mean you can ride with less fatigue for longer. The frame is built with Niobium, a special steel comprised of manganese, chrome, nickel, molybdenum and niobium. This unique composition reduces alloy grain size and provides greater strength.

Sometimes when you are riding all you want is a comfortable seat. But that often comes at an aesthetic price. Not with the Avenir Cruiser though. It has an old time saddle look to it that is classic and slick. Chrome plated pieces give it a nice accent. This is a perfect fit for your vintage cruiser.

It’s rare to top an M3 Coupe. The German engineered speedster is known as the ultimate drive for a reason. Recently, however, BMW announced a limited supply of a special model known as the Frozen Black Edition M3 Coupe. The 19 produced to sell sport the famed BMW 4.0 liter, 414 horsepower V8 engines along with the M Double Clutch Transmission and enough power to go 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. They also have a distinct black finish, raised hood, dark black rims and maxed out amenities. The unfortunate part is that all 19 sold out in 22 minutes… don’t worry though we hear BMW has a great certified pre-owned program.

It can be a huge hassle to wear a bag while riding a bike. You might look cool with your messenger, but it can get in the way and throw off your balance. Luckily the experts from Linus came up with a fashionable solution. The Office Bag can attach to the back of your bike for your ride and then taken off and worn for your walk. This flexibility allows you to easily ride your bike, transport any needed items and then take them with you on foot.

You may have heard of the Nissan Leaf, which is Nissan’s zero emission car, but have you seen the NISMO RC model? Although this green speedster does resemble its cuter cousin, the RC in its name does stand for “Racing Competition.” As a result, there are some amenities that have been exchanged for a carbon fiber body, LED lights, adjustable rear wing and smaller frame. However, they’re a small price to pay to drive fast and not feel guilty doing it.
