Mercedes SLR By Ugur Sahin Design

Lord, Won’t You Buy Me A Mercedes Benz?

What do other cars dream about when they’re not dreaming about starring in an 80’s video with a writhing Tawny Kitaen? The USD Mercedes SLR Concept Car. The artists and engineers at Ugur Sahin Design (hence the “USD”), based this beautiful ride on the existing framework of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and endeavored to combine the extraordinary design of the original Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing with the modern technical aspects of the SLR McLaren Chassis structure. The result is this stunning specimen that’s so beautiful, we’re not even sure Tawny would get on the hood for fear of being upstaged. Oh, Tawny, you’re still hot in our books. But maybe just stand over there, though. Thanks.

2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 Motorcycle

Don’t Mind If I Du-cati

Hardworking, sexy and friendly at the same time? Is this a parallel universe or did the makers of the 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 Motorcycle ($12,995) make a ride based on you? This sexy set of wheels does it all without psychotic amounts of needless muscle. It’s as ready for the long road of earthly exploration as it is for the easy streets of daily living. The foundation of this new Streetfighter is the liquid-cooled­ 849.4cc L-Twin; 8 val. DOHC engine and the Ducati Traction Control system, offering eight levels of adjustment so it can handle anything. It comes with 69 lb-ft @ 9,500 rpm of torque and 132 hp @ 10,000 rpm—more than enough to get the job done. This is a feat of Italian engineering. Just like you, assuming your parents are Italian.

Lotus: A New Position

Once again, James Bond is sitting around wishing he were you. As is Edward Lewis (Richard Gere’s character from “Pretty Woman”—we’ll pretend you didn’t know that already). Pray tell, what do these manly specimens have in common? The Lotus Esprit. As part of Lotus’ unveiling at the Paris Motor Show, the automaker’s 2013 Lotus Esprit (TBA) brings back what they have coined as the “ultimate supercar.” This baby features a mid-mounted 611bhp 5.0-litre V8, and a top speed of 330 km/h with an acceleration of 0-100 km/h 3.4 seconds. It also just happens to be jaw-droppingly beautiful. Set to go on sale in the Spring of 2013, the Esprit promises to be an incredible high-performance sports car. Celebrate with a vodka martini, (shaken not stirred) or by soliciting Julia Roberts for sex on Hollywood Boulevard. Your call.

Cruisin’ In Style

Your days of riding bikes with Winnie Cooper and Paul Pfeiffer are among the happiest childhood memories you have—oh wait, what’s that? That wasn’t you? It was Fred Savage? On a TV show? Interesting. Ok then, looks like you’re going to have to start creating some new childhood dreams, STAT. We nominate the Yamaha Y125 MOEGI (TBA) as your dream bike. It’s got the elegant, sweeping frame of an old school cruiser, with the addition of an internal combustion engine lifted from a small-displacement motorcycle. The 125cc fuel-injected single cylinder engine could put out just enough power to putt you down to Winnie’s house. Oh wait, what’s this? It’s just a concept bike? Ok, then scratch that whole childhood dream thing. Kevin Arnold was kind of a dork anyway. Let’s go get a taco.

Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS

When Life Imitates Yachts

After a long winter escape on your yacht, Prissypants, you’ve often found yourself wishing everything could be modeled after your beloved luxury liner. Well, it seems that Dutch students Emile Pop and Justin de Boer are your kindred spirits, as the duo took inspiration for their Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS (TBA) from luxury yachts. It was built without B-pillars, has a retractable hard-top that can open or close in just 20 seconds, and floorboards made from teak wood (that’s got yacht written all over it). The Savage boasts a Corvette ZR1 powertrain, Toyo T1R tires, and braking by DBM, using eight- and four-piston monoblocks, gripping 380mm or 355mm discs. No word yet as to whether or not it comes with a Skipper, but we’ve got our fingers crossed for you.
