Batmobile Replica

You think Batman is some made-up super hero, don't you? Well, then explain how I saw him drive right by me the other day. Ok, maybe I didn't really see him, but 'm sure some of you out there have. Or, at least an obsessive fan who designed a $1,000,000+ Batmobile replica.

It started when a wealthy Swede purchased a 1973 Lincoln Continental. 3 years and $1 million later, he ended up with a real-life replica of the famous Batmobile. The replica is loaded with gadgets and has built-in satellite navigation, voice recognition, machine guns, reversing cameras, a DVD player, a plasma TV and even height-adjustable bodywork. Oh, and did I mention it has 700 hp?

Looking for a way to customize your ride without going overboard? Slap on some auto accessories that not only personalize it, but can add protection, horsepower and fuel efficiency.

Let Me Introduce You to the Lambo Gallardo Superleggera

Unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show, this is the new Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. It's the lightweight edition of Lambo's littlest super car, weighing in at about 88lbs lighter than a standard Gallardo. It uses more carbon fibre throughout the cabin, including the center console and seat shells, but the biggest savings in weight come from the new lightweight wheels. Those alone cut off about 28.5 pounds.  

Equipped with a 5.2L V10, with 561 hp, it's also the most powerful Gallardo. It can hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 202 mph.

500-hp Plug-In Porsche Makes Me Drool

Now, I know it wasn't too long ago that I posted a blog about my not liking most hybrid and electric cars. That being said- I think it's important to note that I am not a hyprocrite. While I'm not about to run out and purchase a Toyota Prius (for more reasons than just the abundance of recalls), nor am I ever going to purchase a Think City, I can't help myself but to swoon over the ever-so-sexy, plug-in hybrid supercar -- the 918 Spyder.

Porsche is making some big claims about the 918 Spyder saying it will have 500 hp, a mid-engine V-8 and two electric motors. Not to mention that it's claimed to get a whopping 78.4 mpg. In addition, they say it will be able to go from zero to 62 in 3.2 seconds and have a top speed of 198 mph.

This is one electric car I wouldn't turn my back against. Although, I'm sure I'd have to win a few times on the nickel machines before I could afford this bad boy.

Top 10 Most Stolen Vehicles in the U.S.

Do you drive one of the most sought after cars in America? If so, good for you. However, if it's one of the most sought after cars by thieves, that spells trouble. With today's technology, there are plenty of ways to prevent thieves from breaking in and/or stealing your car, such as alarm systems, lo-jack and On-Star. But, those can all get pricey. Have you ever considered simply covering your car with a locking car cover? Not only does a car cover keep your vehicle (and your valuables inside) out of the line of sight of conniving thieves, but it also keeps your paintjob protected from harmful outdoor elements.

 I found this list of the Top 10 Most Stolen Cars in the U.S. If your car is listed on here, or even if it’s not, consider the most cost-effective way to keep your car protected from thieves, sun damage and bird droppings. A new car cover is easy to use, and costs much less than installing an ineffective alarm system.

2011-bmw-335is-leaked-01.jpg

Images of the new BMW 335is have been leaked onto the Internet. It probably won't be long before BMW responds by officially releasing pictuers and details about it. So far, we just know that the BMW 335is will supposedly be powered by a twin-turbo engine with 322 hp and 332 ft-lb torque. A document that was also leaked labeled "BMW Canada Sales Update" says a cabriolet version of the 335is will begin production in March and the coupe version will start in May.

1000 Tesla Roadsters Have Been Built

Apparently after reading my post last week about the Tesla Roadster, a bunch of you went out and bought one. This week, I came across an article on autobloggreen saying that 1,000 Tesla Roadsters have been built. Last year it was only 150. I may not be the sole cause of 850 more being sold, but I'm going to take credit for some of them.

In that same article, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that they have negotiated a lease for the Model S plant, although he wouldn’t say where it was. Production of the Model S is still at least 2 years out. Musk also said the 1000th roadster will be auctioned off for charity.   

   

It’s Baaaaack… The El Camino Makes a Return

PickupTrucks.com reports that the Holden VE Ute may come to the U.S., and if it does, it could come as the Chevrolet El Camino. This news comes just one year after being killed last year. This plan is far from settled right now, but looks likes this time, it may actually go through. 

Tell us, are you a fan of the Chevy El Camino? Or, would you rather people make up their minds and choose only 1—either a truck or a car, you can’t have them both!
