Want the ultimate gadget? How about the FXX Evoluzione from Ferrari. And you can drive one for about 2.5 million. That’s right, you can drive it but not own it. Your 2.5 million just gets you some track time on Ferrari’s private race track.

Were not talking about David Hasselhoff here, but the car, KITT. The only problem is that KITT is not a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, but (gasp) a Ford! That’s right, Knight Industries Two Thousand, is now a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR.

This video and a bunch others like it have the Arizona police all bent out of shape. It’s footage of a guy going 219 MPH in a Lamborghini Mucialago on an Arizona freeways. Some of the other videos show him doing well over 170 on back highways. It’s pretty insane and very real. Looks like it was shot in the middle of the night on some fairly unpopulated AZ freeways. Of course now the cops want to know who he is. Ah, hum, let’s see. There can’t be too many Lamborghini Mucialago’s registerd in AZ, so that’s an easy one. Oh, yeah and his name is all over the videos – you know, right in the title ‘Aaron Mayor’. Pretty sneaky.

It’s ok, if the cops don’t catch him it won’t take long for him to end up roadkill. He’s actually a damn good driver, but if you’ve ever seen the way the rest of the people drive in Arizona you’d understand.

And for AZ natives out there it’s a bit tough to spot exactly what stretch of freeway he hit 219 on, but looks like it might be a stretch of the 101 south in the east valley or maybe a stretch of the new 202 San Tan. Take a look and try reading the freeway signs at 200+ miles and hour.

The Ale car has three wheels, runs on fuel vapors and gets 92 mpg. It has an almost impossible compression ratio of 20:1 running a custom fuel vapor system. With 0-60 times of 5 seconds and a 1.7 g rating in the corners this isn’t your typical slug of a hybrid.While the Ale looks cool as hell from the outside it’s a bit of a frankenstein under the hood. It’s got a Honda engine with a CRX front suspension and rack and pinion streering from a Porche 911. The dashboard looks like something the Russians developed in the 1960′s and the front (and only seat) looks like it was salvage from a 15 year-old Prelude.The Ale runs on regular gasoline and meets all emission standards. Five more pictures of the Ale after the jump. Continue Reading

This is a 3 mintue video of an Italian woman trying demonstrating some amazing parking skills, ah, or lack thereof. The car clearly is NOT going to fit in the space, but she refused to give up. Perhaps she needs one of those self-parking Lexus’ or a tape measure and driving lessons.

Check out this video of a container ship that sinks – on purpose. It’s made by Dockwise and is called a ‘semi-submersible’. The intent to to allow it to deliver cargo while at sea, which I’m guessing would be another actual ship. The ole’ ship within a ship. If I’m not mistaken they developed a similar ship last century that goes underwater too, it’s called a submarine. But whatever.

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.
