The TS Codatronca sportscar is the first creation of Spadaconcept, a new Italian design studio founded by designer Ercole Spada. It combines a modern surface design language with styling elements borrowed from the classic 1960s Alfa Romeo TZ "Truncated Tail" Specials.

I’ve heard of making fuel from wood before, but rarely does using wood as fuel come up. However, just today I was pointed to this site, hosted by a local radio station, with a real-life example of someone burning wood as a fuel in his truck.

I can’t say for sure how the system works, whether it’s dual fuel or the wood-burning supplies all the fuel the engine needs, but it doesn’t appear to be a hoax and is certainly interesting. Evidently, during WWII, there was some experimenting with alternative fuels (due to shortages caused by the war), and one of the results was the wood burning automobile.

Last month, we got a sneak peak at Arden's interpretation of the Jaguar XF, with its aggressive front fascia, LED running lights and rear brake cooling ducts integrated into the side skirts. Now, we've got the official details on the AJ 21 and as is almost always the case, the mods are hardly skin-deep.

Since Henry Ford built the Model T Ford, people have been dreaming of a vehicle that could drive AND fly. It took almost 90 years before this dream could be realized. Now it will: PAL-V Europe BV is building everybody's dream in mobility: a full-fledged flying and full-fledged driving vehicle. Your first questions will probably be: How does it work and why is this suddenly possible now?

This was shot in Braga, Portugal; this particular slope is somewhat of a local legend: if you turn off your engine, your car will climb the slope, much against logic or gravity.

Renewed Carrozzeria Touring Maserati A8 GCS has made this outburst of emotions lovers of this brand. Sports coupe combines the refined classical style and agressive and defiant sports features. Unfortunately, the company has not yet issued a Maserati technical data car, but you can fully enjoy the pictures

Traffic has become increasingly congested and tempers flare as slower drivers occupy what has been historically referred to as the “fast lane”. It’s time to get that Left Lane back!

Supercar Bugatti Veyron, which brings to mind both the design and technical specifications, received the new version - Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir ( "Black Blood"). The new car is devoted to the legendary Bugatti Atlantique 57S.

Just in case you are wondering how they handle things at Le Mans.

The majority of car owners are satisfied with keeping their car in it's original state. However, there are a few daring individuals who invest their time and money to Pimp a VW Beetle

The 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto has always been heavily influenced by the American V-twin crowd and highlights some of the area's top custom builders who have on display a fine array of one-off custom machines

It´s not new, but it´s cute and with a good design, take a look at this unique Bugatti.

Why is this man smiling? Because he's probably as amused by what he's doing as we are. Doc B sent us these photos he took when he came upon the unlikely sight of a Mazda Miata being used to haul a sofa loveseat. Here we thought a Miata was barely spacious enough to transport two adults and a couple of overnight bags, and this guy just turns the conventional wisdom on its head. Seriously, try moving that thing with, say, a MINI Clubman or a Honda Fit. Not gonna happen.

The BMW M1 Hommage blends a wide, aggressive stance with intentionally retro/modern twists on the key visual elements that defined Paul Bracq's original BMW Turbo concept and the Giugiaro-designed M1 homologation special that followed. It is instantly recognizable as an M1, particularly in profile, where the M1 Hommage's basic shape clearly mimics that of its forebear. BMW's stylists also incorporated similar nods the particulars of the original, such as the louvered rear window; the badge placement in back; the line extending aft from the side glass; and even the wheel design, which is an exaggerated take on the ones you'll find on the original road car. Poring over the details of the Homage is akin to going on an Easter Egg hunt.

A curious pimped car, when you need a litle attention, you make a ghostbuster car.

Ever since its introduction, the Smart Fortwo has received more than a few laughs for it's small size. Carbonyte, a specialty limo company out of the United Kingdom, decided it was time to give the Fortwo some serious miracle grow and stop the harassment.

Check out the bigger and not necessarily better Fortwo.

These are quite dangerous cars. Expensive, yet dangerous.

It won't make its official debut until this summer, but the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is already staking its claim as one of the most extreme Mercedes-Benzes ever built.

It starts with a 6.0-liter twin turbo V12 engine. In the standard SL65 AMG it pumps out a healthy 604 horsepower, but in the Black Series the same engine gets cranked up to 670 hp. The torque peak won't increase, but given that it already sits at 738 pound-feet, there's really isn't a need for more. The five-speed automatic transmission, torque converter and all, will remain, but it will get two Sport shift programs, with the second delivering quicker gearchanges timed at just 250 milliseconds.

As of today, we're taking bets to see how long it will take before people realize that "GPS" does not stand for "Auto Pilot." The latest "But the GPS told me to..." story is brought to you by a charter bus driver in Seattle. Piloting a coach through the Washington Arboretum -- as the GPS instructed him -- the driver ignored, or didn't see, or didn't believe (take your pick) the flashing lights and sign warning him that his 11-foot-high bus was too tall for the looming 9-foot concrete overpass.

Chrysler is in the battle of its life to regain its competitiveness here in North America, and there is perhaps no vehicle more important to becoming profitable again than the 2009 Dodge Ram. The Pentastar put in a lot of elbow grease to get this truck just right, and the end result is improved power and efficiency, more storage, and a more refined look than the current truck. We like the design of the new Ram, but the production truck unveiled in Detroit was just one of many designs sketched by Chrysler artists.

We'd read somewhere that at the height of the Cold War, the U.S. locked in the struggle against the evil Commies, Sweden was considered as a potential candidate for location of a Northern European base for F-117A Night Hawk Stealth fighters. Obviously that didn't happen as the decision was made to base all 59 of the arrow-headed black-as-night fighters stateside at Holloman Air Force Base after testing completed at the Toponah test range. And now, well, now they've all been retired. But we're going to imagine for a moment that maybe a couple of them were sent over to Sweden for some leave time. It's the only way we're able to explain the 2008 Saab Turbo X — because if Saab claims they're born from jets, we're of the impression this jet-black baby meatball's daddy has to be an F-117A.

We do, we really do love Top Gear

Pope Benedict XVI's wheels for his U.S. tour are sitting at the training headquarters for the U.S. Secret Service in Beltsville, Md. The car was shipped over from Rome two weeks ago, and when Newsweek was invited for a sneak peek this week, it was parked in one of the facility's empty lots beside other vehicles the agents are using to prepare for the pontiff's arrival tomorrow. But Benedict's car doesn't look like the others. In part that's because it's a Mercedes, which contrasts with the agency's mostly Chevy limousines and SUVs. But it's also hard to miss with a six-foot-tall glass enclosure built to showcase the pontiff.

The first thought that comes to mind when we see this futuristi motorcycle - again, \"another concept.\" But there is, surprisingly, it does not concept, but it is a real vehicle called MonoTracer. This is a closed-type motorcycle. closed \"passenger compartment\", which improves the aerodynamics and increases safety, and of itself, protects the driver from the strong wind.

We have a neighbor who drives a pale green Prius. You know the color - it's a soothing, sandy tint, sort of the look you might find in an untainted desert in National Geographic specials. But what is most noteworthy about this vehicle is the fear it instills in people, not because it's some kind of politically correct muscle car, but because of its license plate: ECO BRAT.

Unbelievable, funny and crazy car crashes.

Mitsubishi has released the first sketch of its Frankfurt-bound concept crossover, the Concept -cX. It sports a look up front that's clearly evocative of the new Lancer, and its hatchback-style bodywork is set off by an upward-sweeping character line along its flank.

Cool and small, can you tell me if it is a good design?

Forget the plastic strummer that comes with Guitar Hero, if you want serious heavy metal then get a guitar bike like the one Dieter ‘Didi’ Senft has created.

The 56-year-old German inventor unveiled his latest creation to the world yesterday in Storkow, Germany.

The 5m by 12m (16ft by 39ft) bike runs on four wheels.
