The BWM CS is a concept car that will likely become the new 8-Series. If you follow cool cars you’ll note the look of the Z8 in the front end. This beast is longer, wider and lower than the current 7-Seris BMWs and will likely require a kidney donation to pay for. But who really needs two kidneys when you’ve got a ride like this.

Clearly one of the most useless but funniest gadgets. Flickr Blockrs create that anonymous black bar over the eyes look – without any retouching at all.

From this artist rendering it looks like the Beijing Aquatic Stadium will be covered in bubble wrap. The ‘Watercube‘ will be home to the water sports at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

Hybrid cars are nice, but if you’re not wowed by cheer gas mileage how about horsepower. 600 horsepower – in an electric. The all carbon-fiber electric looks pretty cool and will do 175 mph.
