Ferrari 430 Scuderia is on its way out, and Novitec Rosso’s Edizione 747 is the tuner’s way of saying goodbye to the car. As its name suggests, the tuned car has received a huge bump in power, taking the stock Ferarri 430’s 510hp output to a stunning 747 hp. Following the same lines, torque has also jumped up to 738 Nm.
The Scubacraft may look like any other boat, but it isn’t quite like one, this is a boat that likes scuba diving. It can go into a submarine-like mode and quickly dive beneath the water to up to 30 meters. That’s almost like going 100 feet under the water, but since the Scubacraft isn’t a submarine, the user would have to wear diving gear when going under water.
Just in case you were wondering what the Transformers are going to do this Halloween, we should tell you that they will be in Cleveland, well, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee at least, there’s still no information about the others. But as it is, hundreds of Autobots and Decepticons will be roaming the streets on Halloween, but this Bumblebee and Optimus Prime yard-art is cool. Well, Optimus looks like he’s on wooden stilts, possibly he made some error while ‘Transforming.’ Video after the jump.
This 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica on eBay looks like quite interesting, simply because of the seller’s choice of vehicle for conversion. It is a Porsche 356 Speedster, but the seller changed the body; the car now has a fiberglass body over a steel tube frame, making it much lighter than the original.
This psychedelic hearse was created by Matthew Shuter, who saw a business opportunity in the aging Woodstock Generation. Now that the generation is “dying out,” the hearse was created to provide them a colorful last journey, akin to the life they spent.
This SUV concept puts the “Sports” part firmly in the utility vehicle. It has been created to be specially suited for carrying gear like mountain bikes and jet skis through rough terrain. The concept has a fairly interesting/ aggressive styling, and its open rear would likely not just provide a bay for carrying jet skis, but would also hold them firm, preventing unsightly scratches or hours of work gone into ensuring that the “cargo” remains placed firmly and securely. The SUV concept is the work of designers Mohammad Reza Shojaee, Iman Maghsoudi and Farzad Barkhordary.
We’re sold at the idea of having giant robots function as bridges, and get into some robo-action when their city needs them. Sure the idea isn’t very comfortable, especially for those crossing the bridge, but sci-fi rocks. This giant robot sculpture at Pittsburgh was designed by Glenn Kaino, and christened “ARCH.” We still think it’s great to have a giant mecha near the city, you know, until Skynet comes along.
The Corvette-powered supercar Spada Codatronca is an extremely limited edition vehicle with unorthodox looks. Designed by Ercole Spada, former chief designer at Zagato and BMW, the strange look of this car may appeal to many people, but it’s no Batmobile. That is where the promotional film from advertising agency Kaboyashi lays a ton of stress. They’d like you to know that the car isn’t the Batmobile, and the city isn’t Gotham city either.
The little helicopter from MIT’s Robust Robotics Group at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) showed off its skill at navigating and maneuvering. The little machine managed to fly safely through a house, without the need of any input from its human overlords. This quad rotor helicopter uses lasers to map out any obstacles and hurdles in its path, and then navigates through these obstacles without requiring any assistance.

Muscle is what we eagerly wish to see in cars these big guns reveal. If you’re game for those softer sedans, this one won’t be for you, but if you share an opinion like ours, it’s game on. Come Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and we’ll see the Chrysler’s Mopar themed stands graced with the Dodge Challenger 1320, street legal model of the Drag Par Dodge Challenger racer.
