In this exclusive Land Rover commercial, four parkour (PK) athletes demonstrate amazing feats of balance, fitness and gymnastics, representing the “Above & Beyond” all-terrain, go anywhere capabilities of Land Rover vehicles. Just like these four parkour traceurs, Land Rover’s wheels can’t be stopped by any obstacles.

Even though this post is sponsored by Land Rover we think it’s a pretty damn cool commercial that shows the all-terrain capability of the Land Rover. They’re so bad ass that even the US military uses them. Check out the video below!

The 83rd International Geneva Motor Show kicked off this week with the new supercar from Italian automaker Lamborghini unveiled. It is ridiculously expensive at $3.9 million (Lamborghini Veneno) and extremely limited (3 Venenos). In the year of its 50th anniversary Lamborghini is presenting an extremely exclusive model at the Geneva Motor Show 2013. Only three unique units of the Lamborghini Veneno will be built and sold. With a maximum output of 552 kW / 750 hp, the Veneno accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and the top speed for this street-legal racing car stands at 355 km/h. It is priced at three million Euros plus tax – and all three units have already been sold to customers.

The Lamborghini Veneno features a twelve-cylinder power unit with a displacement of 6.5 liters, a fast-shifting 7-speed ISR transmission with 5 driving modes and permanent all-wheel drive, as well as a racing chassis with pushrod suspension and horizontal spring/damper units. The Veneno benefits from the expertise Lamborghini possesses in the development and execution of carbon-fiber materials – the complete chassis is produced as a CFRP monocoque, as is the outer skin. The inside features Lamborghini-patented materials such as Forged Composite and CarbonSkin.

The name of the Veneno originates from a legendary fighting bull. Veneno is the name of one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever. He is also famous for being one of the fastest bulls in the history of bullfighting. His name became popular in 1914, when he fatally wounded the famous torero José Sánchez Rodríguez during the bullfight in the arena Sanlúcar de Barrameda’s, Andalusia, Spain.

- The Veneno is painted in a grey metallic-look color with individual parts gleaming in the black of the visible carbon-fiber structure. The only car to display all three colors of the Italian flag as an accent is the car shown at Geneva, the unit which will remain property of Lamborghini. The three cars sold to customers each feature a single color of the Italian national flag, together a triology in green, white and red accents and thus representing each a unique piece.

- With a dry weight of 1,450 kilograms (3,190 pounds), the Veneno is 125 kilos (275 pounds) lighter than the already lean Aventador. The beneficial power-to-weight ratio of 1.93 kg/hp (4,25 lbs/hp) guarantees performance

2013 Miami International Boat Show (MIBS) will be the place for world premiere of Verve Outboard by Atlantis, the outboard version of the homonymous elegant and gritty walkaround boat which proved to be perfect to live the sea in great safety and comfort and at the same time capable of giving strong emotions.

The Atlantis Verve Outboard, designed to meet the needs and tastes of the U.S. market, sees a project that has faced a new challenge: to keep all the features of its predecessor in terms of roominess and comfort, but adding the power and performance guaranteed Mercury outboard motors from 3 to 300 hp.

The result is a boat that not only guarantees an optimal internal division of space, but can offer a good habitability in separate cabins,, granting all the advantages offered by the new outboard engine, such as performance easy maneuvering and ease of maintenance.

The main changes to note are the Atlantis Verve Outboard replacing the engine room with a space for the locker and the elimination of the top fiberglass, replaced by a profile windshield flavor even more sporty. As an option, however, a fiberglass hard top that will cover the wheelhouse area and the kitchen can be ordered.

The yacht becomes the perfect complement to the house by the sea. It is a walkaround fast, comfortable, safe for cruises to medium range where the practicality is combined with the convenience and versatile Italian style. The cabin below deck – the boat’s real strength – is still spacious and provides comfort and privacy thanks to the central bed, two walk-in wardrobes and a convenient sliding door.

The dinette and bathroom have remained the same too. Verve Outboard Atlantis can boast with sunbathing area aft convertible in area room for 6 people, a privileged access to the sea, a modern suite deck for a 12 meter all adrenaline and glamor.

Of course all the best features of the original Verve have been kept: including the deck layout with a large sunbathing area that can be transformed into a practical table for six people in a flash without having to move the cushions and a small electrically operated awning for shade during the hottest part of the day. The elegant and well-equipped mobile bar (with 100 litre capacity fridge) rounds off the layout of the cockpit together with an outside grill and sink, creating a comfortable, versatile area that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

There is also one of the best-loved accessories, the multimedia centre, with its handy control panel and display located on the aft table/sun deck that controls the whole audio/video system on board. This provides maximum freedom: systems that are independent of each other above and below deck mean you can listen to your favourite playlist as you lie in the sun while the other guests watch a film.

My name is Bond, James Bond. When you say this, it won’t cost you a cent, but if you want to be a real James Bond and drive the famous Aston Martin, it will cost you quite. One of the four original Aston Martins used in the James Bond series is up for sale.

Although the vehicle never appeared on screen with Sean Connery, this 1965 Aston Martin DB5was the franchise’s official promotional vehicle and the only remaining DB5 to contain all of the official Bond gadgets featured in the movies. This particular DB5 comes equipped with Q’s spy gadgets including the revolving number plates, imitation machine guns, a bulletproof shield, tracking device, an oil slick sprayer, a nail spreader, the famous ejector seat with control button in the gear stick, and even the tire-slicing device.

Under the hood is a 4-liter engine that delivers 280 bhp to enable it accelerate at a top speed of 150 mph. Priced at whopping $4.7 million, the car is being offered for private sale by Britain-based Aston Martin specialist RS Williams, on the occasion of British automaker’s 100th anniversary.

In London in 2010 the Aston Martin DB5 driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger and Thunderball was sold for a $4.1 million. We’ll see whether the offered price will be too high, or collectors of this prestigious brands do not care about the money when it comes to Aston Martin.

Perhaps you saw it during the super bowl if you’re into that sort of thing but the commercial for the entry level Mercedes Benz sure had us taking notice. The sticker price says entry level, affordable luxury, but the look and feel says lavish. Superstars; Usher, Kate Upton, and Wilem DeFoe come out in the new commercial for the CLA! Check out the video below! We’ve even included the behind the scenes video as well!

An uncompromising four-door coupe with stunning beauty, innovative brains and turbocharged brawn, the all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA promises to elevate pulses at a jaw-dropping value.

From the moment you lay eyes on it, you’re already under its spell. The commanding front sport grille, with studded black mesh behind a brilliant Three-Pointed Star and single chrome lamella. The long hood, sweeping roofline and clipped rear deck that comprise a coupe’s calling card. And the chiseled physique of an automotive athlete waiting to be unleashed on the road. Everything, down to the frameless doors and a slight “kick” in the five spokes of its 17-inch two-tone wheels, tell you that you’re looking at a vehicle designed to seduce you at every turn.

The aggressive lines of the all-new 2014 CLA aren’t merely for show, however — they also help create aerodynamics worthy of a supercar. Likewise, alluring form and superior function come together in the sculpted headlamps, available in Bi-Xenon with integrated LED Daytime Running Lights, and standard LED taillamps. An even greater degree of visual ferocity can be achieved with the available Sport Package, with chiseled sport bodystyling that includes a larger front apron with massive air inlets, as well as flared side skirts and a sleek rear diffuser. The Sport Package also includes the diamond-pattern version of the front sport grille — boasting brilliant, silver-tipped studs instead of black — not to mention 18-inch twin 5-spoke alloy wheels and sport front brakes with perforated rotors.

The finely crafted interior of the CLA picks up where the exterior leaves off, enticing all comers with conspicuous items like sculpted front sport seats and a free-floating 5.8-inch flatscreen display, to smaller details like aircraft-inspired vents with electroplated bezels and textured Anthracite trim. Sport gauges and a leather-wrapped, three-spoke multifunction sport steering wheel with shift paddles make for a cockpit with a competitive streak, while the available Panorama sunroof lends the cabin an open, easygoing feel.

Under the hood lurks an advanced, turbocharged inline-4 engine, poised to deliver spirited performance with calculated efficiency. Its 208 horsepower and red-blooded 258 lb-ft of torque are channeled through a sophisticated 7-speed automatic transmission with dual-clutch technology for exceptionally smooth gear shifts and near-instantaneous power delivery. Responsive handling comes courtesy of a sport-tuned suspension engineered to a close, comfortable relationship between asphalt and driver.

The all-new CLA’s potent design and performance are matched by its technology suite, starting with mbrace2 — the next-generation of connected, in-vehicle services from Mercedes-Benz. Offering Safety & Security services, personal assistance including Concierge, remote access from a compatible smartphone, and even Internet access, mbrace2 is the most comprehensive cloud-based telematics system on the planet. Also standard is full Bluetooth® connectivity for music streaming and hands-free calling from a compatible mobile device. The soundtrack of the open road can be enhanced with options such as a 12-speaker harman/kardon surround-sound system, iPod/MP3 Media Interface, and SiriusXM Satellite Radio with Traffic and Weather. In turn, the optional COMAND system offers navigation with 3-D maps and enhanced voice control for times when co-piloting may be required.

Like every car bearing the Three-Pointed Star, the all-new 2014 CLA has been engineered with an uncompromising approach to safety that includes not only sophisticated measures to help protect occupants during collisions, but also innovative technology that can help drivers avoid accidents altogether. Beyond a sophisticated seven air-bag restraint system, the CLA comes standard with ATTENTION ASSIST driver-drowsiness monitor, as well as COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST, a radar-based system that can warn drivers and even ready the brakes to deliver maximum stopping power if it senses a potential collision.

For added peace of mind, the CLA offers an optional Driver Assistance Package that includes Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and DISTRONIC adaptive cruise control — technology that can not only warn drivers of an impending collision, but also initiate partial braking if they fail to respond. Available as individual options are Blind Spot Assist and PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist.

Marking the launch of this automotive milestone, a limited-production Launch Edition of the all-new 2014 CLA will be offered for those who seek some added exclusivity. On the outside, brilliant Mountain Grey metallic paintwork and black, 18-inch multispoke alloy wheels convey an undercurrent of rebellion. Beneath the skin, an exclusive black interior with contrast neon stitching, a Panorama sunroof and an infotainment suite including an iPod/MP3 Media Interface, navigation and a harman/kardon surround-sound system create a cockpit tailor-made for the discerning driver.

Above all, the all-new 2014 CLA is more than a stunning four-door coupe crafted in the uncompromising Mercedes-Benz tradition. And it’s even more than an extraordinary automobile with a price that’s equally remarkable. It’s simply further proof that at Mercedes-Benz, doing something new isn´t really new at all.

Look for the all-new 2014 CLA in U.S. dealerships this fall.

The rich and the famous always know their cars. Though the list of the most popular luxury cars used by the world’s top class persons and celebrities vary from year to year yet there are common denominators that defines the cars the rich and the famous love to drive: a perfect blend of power, luxury and safety concerns forms the fulcrum of the choice of cars for the wealthy individuals. Whether it is Cadillac Escalate, Coupe De Ville, Rolls Royce 100-EX, Pontiac G8 or Mercedes Benz E-Class among others, these luxury cars have excellent records of crash test performance in addition to their lavish luxurious interiors, superior engine power and high tech features.

Factors that Improves Safety Ratings of Luxury Cars

Indeed, the safety ratings of a luxury car depend on its construction, weight and tech features. Luxury cars are very expensive because they are expensive to build. Luxury car buyers wouldn’t mind to pay a fortune for a car that combines power, uncommon luxury and top rate auto safety.

Effects of Relative Weight on Safety Ratings: Luxury cars offer utmost safety because they are heavy cars and when it comes to real life crash situations; relative weight provides an advantage to occupants, all things being equal. Provision of additional standard features such as quiet cabins in exotic cars help to raise the relative weight of the car while it effectively controls noise at the same time. Features like thicker glass, metal coatings and sand-filled thick firewalls are usually installed in luxury cars to silence noise and raise the relative weight of each car.

Luxury Cars and Modern Safety Technology Features: Luxury cars usually parade an array of modern safety technology features and crash avoidance equipment first as standard features when compared with non-luxury cars. GM’s Cadillac was first fitted with GM’s first ever digital stability system when it was first invented. Other car makers would also normally fit their latest technology on their luxury brands before such technology gets popular with other brands.

Plenty airbags adds to the inherent value of exotic cars in addition to making them record good ratings in crash test. Besides the front airbags, side curtain airbags are fitted in luxury cars and luxury SUVs as standard equipment to cover the side windows and offer protection to the heads of occupants in the front and back seats.

Forget about Bugatti Veyron Supersport ($2.6 million), Ferrari 599XX ($2 million),Zenvo ST1 ($1.125 million), new luxury sports car – LykanHypersport comes from Beirut-based W Motors, the first Arab coach-builder of high performance luxury sports cars based in the Middle East. This Arab world’s first high-performance luxury sports car will be introduced at the Qatar Motor Show, opening on the 29th January. The price for this beauty is $3.4 million and there will only be seven units of the car produced making it world’s most exclusive sports car.

“When we initially set up the company in Beirut earlier this year, our launch event attracted thousands of people from the automotive industry, media, politicians, and VIPs,” said Lebanese-born Ralph Debbas, W Motors’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“Not only did we herald in the formation of an exclusive automotive industry in the region, but I do believe that our first model, the Lykan Hyper sport 2013, raises the bar for hyper cars worldwide.”

2013 LykanHypersport is the result of six years of hard work of distinguished names in the automotive industry including RUF automobile, Studiotorino, Viotti, Magna Steyr Italia and ID4MOTION; all of them Italy based, a land with the heritage of producing the most iconic sports cars.

The car has the potential to go from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100km/h) in 2.8 seconds to reach the maximum speed of 242 mph (390 km/h), over  62 mph (100 km/h) faster than the take off speed of Airbus 380, the world’s largest commercial jet. It also comes with diamond -encrusted LED lights and gold-stitched interior leather, a reverse door opening system, a state-of-the-art 3D Virtual Holographic Display with Tactile Interaction, and an innovative ID4Motion Interactive Dashboard.

All 7 lucky owners will be also awarded with a 24-hour dedicated concierge service and with a Special Edition Cyrus Klepcys Watch, worth over $200,000. A breeze for the car that worth $3.4 million!

Who said you had to give up speed to gain interior space? Available in both sedan and wagon models, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 4Matic ($TBA) has everything it needs to keep up with the fastest of sports cars. Powered by a 5.5-liter AMG V8 Biturbo, it boasts 550 hp — 577 on the S-Model — and an AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed sports transmission to hurtle it from 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 186 mph. Permanent all-wheel-drive ensures that power gets to the pavement, and, of course, it’s still an E-class, with all the interior refinement you’d expect. Arriving this summer.
