Lamborghini Ankonian Concept Car

I'm in love with this car and it's only a concept scheduled to be released in 2016. I was searching for any animated video to see how the doors open etc but was unable to find anything. I guess we'll just have to wait until its actually for sale.





Slavche Tanevsky, the designer of Lamborghini Madura, designs again the latest Lamborghini sports car, called the Lamborghini Ankonian.
Lamborghini Ankonian form is unique like adopting design of silhouette. However, Tanevsky claimed Lamborghini Ankonian as the future sports car.
Unique aspects visible on the front and rear of the sports car. Lamborghini Ankonian like using a shield to protect the car.
As reported by autoevolution, on Tuesday (March 15, 2011) to complete the project, Lamborghini Reventon is inspired from Ankonian.
This car has a grim appearance with a combination of gray, dark and dull black. Slavche Tanevsky admitted getting the support of the Lamborghini and Audi designers when modeling clay.
Lamborghini Ankonian has surprising design. Therefore, it will leave the design of the car headlights on most cars. This sports car will have very thin OLED and embedded in the front of car.
The same principle also applied at the back that looks like an alien with two large exhaust.
This design finished by Tanevsky in 2008, and by Chief Designer Lamborghini, this model was selected as the best 3 great designs. If there is no obstacle and Lamborghini agree to produce, then we could see the Lamborghini Ankonian in 2016.

Victoria Beckham & the New Range Rover Evoque SUV Coupe 2011



Land Rover is celebrating its Range Rover’s 40th anniversary with the unveiling of the brand new Range Rover Evoque, an all-new coupe SUV that will join the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport line-up in the summer of 2011.

The new Evoque will be the smallest, lightest, and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever produced. Customers have a choice of both a 4WD and a 2WD version, with a sub 130g/km CO2 demonstrating the Range Rover brand’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

The Range Rover Evoque will be powered by a new 2.0-liter Si4 turbocharged engine that combines direct fuel injection and twin variable valve timing. Customers will have to choose from three trim levels: Pure, Prestige, and Dynamic. Depending on the model, Evoque will come standard with: unique 19-inch wheels and sparkling metallic details, premium leather, twin-needle stitching and real wood and metal finishes, unique bumpers, sills, grille and tailpipes for a more assertive, confident stance, perforated leather seats and unique sports detailing. The new Evoque will go on sale in the fall of 2011.

The good thing is though, the car looks exactly the same as the LRX concept and in 2-door format it looks absolutely hot! There will also be a 5-door version. But Range Rover is apparently trying to make it a fashion item, since they’ve already partnered with VOGUE magazine to promote it, and even signed Victoria Beckham as their creative design executive!

Starting at ONLY $44,800 more than likely they will be all over NYC by the end of this year. Land Rover has not completely sold me yet. I wasn't a fan of the Range Rover sport. I thought it was too small for my taste. I like my "items" BIG ;-P I still want the supercharged HSE. I'll have to wait until I see it up close and personal.

High Rollin...

What are the most expensive tire rims in the world?

Asanti may not be a name you know right off the top of your head, however if you are searching for expensive tire rims to make your car stand out among the many cars on the road then you quickly learn that Asanti is the manufacturer you need.
Last year Asanti was on the most expensive list for their wheels that were created with a cubic zirconium encrusted set weighing 63,000 carets and cost $250,000.00 USD.
At the November SEMA auto show in 2006, they sported the world’s first diamond encrusted rims. The four tire rims have 110,000 carets of genuine gemstones and comes with a free Bentley Continental GT. The price tag is $1,000,000.00 USD.

I fell in love again...




The Mercedes-Benz GLK (code name X204) is a compact luxury crossover released as a 2009 model elsewhere and as a 2010 model in North America after its public debut at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show alongside the competing Audi Q5.

The GLK-Class was launched in 2008 and is built in Bremen (Germany), the first Mercedes SUV to be built there. Its design is heavily influenced by the C-Class.


On 01/12/2008, actress Kim Cattrall at a special unveiling ceremony at the North American Auto Show in Detroit. Confirming that her Sex In the City character (Samantha Jones) would drive the SUV in the movie version of the popular TV show.

The GLK was presented for the first time in Detroit under the form of the Mercedes-Benz Vision GLK Free concept.


MBUSA partnered with four turners to develop customs designs for the newly released GLK for the 2008 SEMA show in Las Vegas. Boulevard Customs, Brabus, RENNtech, Legendary motorcar company, were the four tuners that had the unique opportunity to design their vision.

The GLK shares the C-Class (W204) Platform , and production plans continued after the demise of the similar Smart Formore.

I thought it was pretty ironic how I fell for this SUV but now I know why... If you know me personally. You know how much I want the new C-Class 300 in white NO chrome except for my rims :-) I was being persuaded by someone else (hint hint) into getting the New BMW 3 series hard top drop (convertible) Since the concept of this SUV was taken from the C-Class I get the best of both worlds... minus it being convertible. Decisions, decisions... I'll figure it out
