its owners will also be offered a golden gun, an authentic copy of Bolshevik favorite gun Mauser in gold.

knight-xv-conquest-vehiclesIt was regarded as the most luxurious SUV of the time when  Conquest Vehicles revealed the KNIGHT XV. But the €1million Dartz Monaco Red Diamond Edition took away the title after claiming itself to be the world’s most luxurious, strongest and expensive armored car.

But, the biofuel – powered KNIGHT XV has added more than 60 new security and luxury upgrades, probably to reclaim the title.
New changes include a turbo kit, a commercial-grade multi-link air-ride suspension system, a high-performance front brake system with  12 pot calipers and 15.5 inch rotors.

A 24-inch vehicle extension package to fit  my friends and family and right-hand drive conversion to suit the country’s traffic norms and an amazing addition is an onboard black-box system that constantly has the multiple layers of armor and record button on help push the KNIGHT XV’s weight to 12,000 pounds.

So, I think you should ready to be knighted.

2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

I think there is no any doubt to anyone that the all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata is very important vehicle to the Korean automaker. The all-new Sonata, combining a new exterior with performance that rivals the best, is out to increase market share in one of the hottest-contested classes in the U.S.

Now, Hyundai has launched the requisite eco-friendly Sonata variant, the Sonata Hybrid at the 2010 New York Auto Show. Hyundai has made quite a few visual changes to the Sonata Hybrid’s exterior. Equipment unique to the hybrid version of the Sonata are the bumper fascias, headlights and taillights, rocker panels, ‘eco-spoke’ wheels, front grille, side sills and air dam, badging and paint color.

Some changes are purely cosmetic, but Hyundai says that many are functional which make the Sonata Hybrid more aerodynamic and lowering its drag coefficient to a slippery 0.25. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid marks the first production use of Hyundai’s Hybrid Blue Drive technology that can operate independently on either its 169-horsepower 2.4-liter gasoline engine or its 40-horsepower electric motor, with overall power listed at 209 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.

So, how is the new model?

delahaye-bugnottiIn America, there was time in the late ’70s and early ’80s when some misguided industrious souls decided to recreate few of the most iconic shapes in motoring history. Kit cars with shapes emulating classic Delahaye, Bugatti, Auburn, Mercedes, Pierce-Arrow, Bentley and Rolls-Royce designs flourished, many poorly made and based on cars like the Lincoln Town Car or Buick Regal. With the originals selling for six, seven or even eight figures, it was not surprising that anyone would want a budget alternative, but the offerings were more of an insult to the originals than a tribute.

Delahaye USA is offering modern interpretations of some of those classic designs which represent the opulence apart from being engineering marvels. Their latest creations is the “Bella Figura” Bugnotti Coupe that buys its inspiration from the 1937 Bugatti Type 57S.

The company is showing off a 1/4-scale model right now, you should be prepared as the company launch a full-size version for the first time this fall. Offering everything from the custom-built heated  as well as cooled carbon-fiber, Delahaye USA plans to offer a turnkey version of the coupe on a custom chassis with an alloy body for $450,000 because it is set to debut at Retro Auto Aug. 13 to Aug 15, in Pebble Beach, during the annual classic car festivities in Northern California.

So, what do you say about this new vehicle?
