FERRARI BIKE

The Ferrari V4 superbike concept is a design created independently of Ferrari by Israeli designer Amir Glinik.
While the styling of the Ferrari V4 motorcycle might be controversial to say the least, it certainly stands out from the crowd. And in part that's what a Ferrari is supposed to do. The aesthetics of the Ferrari V4 motorbike have been influenced by both classic and modern Ferrari vehicles, but revised and repackaged into a motorcycle.
Under the highly curvaceous bodywork of the Ferrari V4 motorcycle is, unsurprisingly a V4 engine. This unit is derived from the Ferrari Enzo V12 block, which has been cut down and redesigned into a V-four cylinder configuration. The engine features ride-by-wire throttle control and is mated to a mono-block gearbox that support the swing arm.One of the more unusual features of the Ferrari V4 superbike is is adjustable ride-height suspension and dampening control. Riders can choose from two separate ride heights and two shock damping styles for each ground clearance setting.
The brakes of the Ferrari V4 superbike concept consist of radial mounted discs and twin calipers up front. Both front and rear brakes are electronically operated and computer controlled to provide optimal braking under all road and weather conditions.
A weatherproof touch screen display is mounted flush into the top of the fuel tank, directly in front of the rider. From this interface the rider can manage bike systems or monitor information and
diagnostic information, including; radio, GPS, anti-theft device, RPM, speed, and current gear.

LAMBORGHINI DIABLO

In 1985 Lamborghini began designing and developing a replacement for their successful Countach model. The Lamborghini Diablo was introduced in 1990 and stayed in production until 2001. The name Diablo is Spanish meaning 'devil' and was borrowed from a type of legendary bull raised by the Duke of Veragua in the 19th century. The goal for the Countach replacement was to achieve a 315 Km/h top speed. Marcello Gandini was commissioned to design the bodywork. Chrysler purchased Lamborghini in 1987 which meant Gandini's designs had to pass Chrysler approval. Adjustments were made that took away from the aggressiveness of the vehicle and focused more on the driver and passenger comfort. The modifications did not draw drastically away from the initial designs and Gandini was satisfied with the outcome. Chryslers influence continued to the interior of the vehicle. The Italian leather seats, steering wheel, and dashboard were all adjustable. The seats could be ordered specifically to fit the driver. The stereo system was an Alpine unit, customizable to the user's preferences with offerings of either a CD or cassette player. An optional remote CD changer and sub woofer cost additional, but was still available. A Breguet clock would set the buyer back an additional $10,500 while the factory fitted luggage cost $2600.

BUGATTI

First shown as a concept at the 2000 Paris motor show, the long awaited (and delayed) Bugatti Veyron has now become a production reality.

Using a revolutionary 'W' layout, the Veyron's 8 litre 16 cylinder Quad Turbo engine generates the highest power output ever seen in a full production car. Around 1000bhp is delivered to all four wheels via a 7-speed twin-clutch gearbox, enough to propel the Veyron to a then world record top speed of 254mph! Acceleration is equally astounding with 60mph arriving in a scarcely believable 2.4seconds and 300kmh arriving from standstill in a claimed 17 seconds (cf. 22 sec for a McLaren F1)The project has been plagued by a series of infuriating delays but the first of a projected 300 cars over a six year production run started arriving at the end of 2005, each priced at an eye watering 1 million Euros!The greatest supercar of all time - bar none!
