OMG!!!!! I Need This!!!!






Mattias Vöcks is at it again. Back in 2006, the Swedish-born designer who normally spends his days hand-assembling supercars for Koenigsegg, used the SEMA to debut his show-stopping custom 1967 Volvo Amazon that was once voted "Sweden's Hottest Volvo." That title may soon go out to another of Vöcks' stunning creations, this time based on the classic Volvo P1800 made famous in part as the car driven by Roger Moore in the British television series “The Saint” from the 1960s. With help from Bo Zolland from Swedish design firm Vizualtech; Vöcks has added a few modifications to bring the shapely Swedish beauty to modern standards. Aerodynamics are improved by a rear diffuser, flat underbody tray and a front fascia that's been smoothed out and lengthened by 70mm. Powering the beast is a 4.4-liter V8 borrowed from a Volvo XC90 SUV that's been force-fed by a turbocharger and routes its 600 horses through a six-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. In the words of Kanye, “It’s Amazing!!!”

Evo’s New Electric Superbike


In June, UK-based Evo Design will debut its high-performance electric superbike, the EV-0 RR (above), at the TTXGP zero-emissions grand prix on the Isle of Man. Evo collaborated with motorcycle design house Xenophya on the motorcycle, which features a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis, forkless single-sided front suspension and twin electric battery-powered engines from Green Motorsport that will deliver serious speed. So far Evo is keeping performance specs under wraps and has not revealed production plans, but TTXGP race rules require that competing bikes be offered for sale at its conclusion for no more than $30,000. This is crazy! I want to how fast it goes! ;-)

The Leaf Chair by Kenneth Cobonpue





The Philippine native Kenneth Cobonpue designed the Leaf Chair. The sexy and sensuous Leaf chair is inspired by nature’s curves. Graceful and slim, the upholstered top sits on a steel base as if floating in its own space. This chair is weird and cool at the same time. ;-)
