In collaboration with Roll Royce, these special edition Continental Gts designed and engineered features Magenta and Orange as accent colors and Magenta Metallic and Orange Flame along with selected wood veneers in Piano Black and dark-stained Burr Walnut.

At Bentley’s Crewe headquarters, these special editions will be created and will be available on sale via the nine dealerships across China.

Before the rise of BMW to the latest fame and reputation of the biggest automobile manufacturer, it specialized once in airplane engines during World War II.

But in aviation, the firm’s historic role is being revived as BMW designs luxurious passenger cabins of Phenom 300 and 100 aircrafts for Embraer. Blending futuristic and modern design, BMW Group Design works USA has trimmed the interiors in wood and leather while keeping in view the strict safety regulations. Integrating luggage compartments into walls and under the seats, BMW has created an elegant fusion of the aviation as well as automotive industries.

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?

It is very hard to impress some bike lovers while some are motivated through modification. Therefore, this Black Beauty from Roland Sands Design (RSD) is worth your time for all those who look forward to explore the custom-made territory.

The Black Beauty is meant to be ridden by a former AMA 250 GP National Motorcycle Racing Champion and includes the following features:

Sticky tires
Road-racing forks
Radial brakes
Lightweight wheels on RSD’s routine Harley-Davidson Softail
Equipped with a 95 cubic inch powerhouse
A pretty face in gold, black and silver along with a high-mounted RSD exhaust for that raucous roar

Just look at the picture and share your opinion with me.

In 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?

The Swift+ which is a  Chevrolet Aveo–like, Daewoo-built vehicle has been available in Canada for some time, but now in its fifth generation, the actual Swift has primarily been exclusive to the Japanese and European markets. Since the ’90s, the car has not been available in the U.S. but that looks to change with the next-generation of the micro-hatch, caught here tooling around the Nürburgring.

Takashi Nakayama, Suzuki’s top engineer had confirmed that the next Swift was being developed to meet U.S crash standards. While that is not an official confirmation, it does mean that Suzuki is strongly considering launching it here. I hope it is already a done deal, as the Swift is consistently cited as one of the world’s least sucky small cars to drive.

A few details are available there. The rear end is none too flattering, reminding us of the Nissan Versa hatchback. The front looks like it adopts an aggressive grille like that of Suzuki’s mid-size Kizashi but adds its own twist, with large bug-like headlights.

Padding under the camo effectively hides sheetmetal details, but the Swift does appear to sport a bodyline that bisects the door handles as it connects the trailing point of the headlight to the taillight. A glimpse of the interior reveals less information but if it follows the Kizashi’s lead in material quality and design, it should be a decent place to spend time.

As the American micro-car segment floods with new entrants such as the Mazda 2, Ford Fiesta,  Chevrolet Spark and Fiat 500, I would be quite surprised if Suzuki left the Swift on the sideline.

Luxury could come your way  with the “lightest-ever” tag  in any form and weight. For all those who are bike lover and who treasure these fat-burning beauties in their purest form, for them only Bill Kaloudis, after spending $10,000 has created a 7.5-kilogram mountain bike.

According to Bill Kaloudis, weight of this mountain bike is evil and it works against the biker. It is like loading up a hot-air balloon, it does not want to take off. His bike his mountain bike is both strong and featherlight.

Anything that turns: tyres, wheels, shoes, pedals, cranks to an extent is crucial to keep light because they are rotating mass. Anything static like the frame or even your body, is not as critical.

So, you just go as far as you can with this light weight bike.

Mikael Lugnegard, the  Swedish designer has designed a muscle bike for the rich boys, the ‘Seraphim’, a solid gold motorcycle. Also the entire motorcycle is not covered in solid gold, the pristine placement of gold generates a regal aesthetic. The ‘Seraphim’ embodies the ultimate blend of vintage innovation from the detailed front forks, to the comfortable and fine saddle-shaped seat.
The motorcycle is supported by the intricate golden spoke design, the low-leveled, split handlebar enable you to embrace the vibrations of the engine while reaching maximum speeds. The ‘Seraphim’ is able to fashion the majestic spirit of the golden gears and engine with the elegant body.

So, we can say that the gold plated chopper “Seraphim” is just inspired by luxury timepieces and features hand-made Western saddles with engraved patterns for a vintage look. This bike is available now, you can take a ride.

Dartz has come up again. With the armored Kombat T98 luxury SUV, the Russian tuner has already impressed us, the €1million special Monaco Red Diamond Edition and lately, the Porsche covered in whale skin vinyl. This time in collaboration with car tuner TopCar, the luxury SUV purveyor has designed a one-of-a-kind Bentley which they will showcase at the upcoming Top Marques Monaco show.

Christened as CA$H.CAMO Bentley Continental GT, this car is inspired by the DARTZ.KOMBAT tank itself. The interesting thing is that the word “CASH” has been spelled with a “$” sign instead of an “S.” You will feel the “cash” every time whenever you open the door.  With Kevlar vinyl, the tuned car is wrapped that merges the camouflage color with a picture of a €500 banknote.

One more thing, if you buy this crazily luxurious car, you will also get a bottle of RussoBaltique vodka as a gift.
