Ferrari Zobin Concept

Iranian designer Siamak Ruhi Dehkordi was inspired by the prancing horse’s Formula One race car and the cockpit of a fighter jet, so he came up with this stunning single-seater super car.

Codenamed Zobin Concept, this concept car spots a unique looking metal band, which supports the headlights and integrates the front spoiler and the front fenders, and gives the car an "open-wheels" look.

Now this prancing 'Devil' looking car is uniquely styled to concentrate on it's aerodynamic design. Able to reach 200mph, the Zibon Concept will have pace unlike any Ferrari before it thanks to an ultra-efficient, mid-rear positioned high performance engine.

Still wanna have an Enzo? Err... yes... and this too!

I've been trying to do my part recently to help save the planet. I've managed to convinced my boss to shut down our office for one hour during Earth Hour and I've also started to bring my own shopping bags to the market. Now going green in cool. What many do not know is that going green is fast too!

Behold, the fastest two-wheeled electric vehicle in the world, MISSION ONE!

What do you get when you combine lithium-ion batteries with a high-performance electric motor and components straight from the racing circuit? Answer: The fastest production electric motorcycle in the world too.

With the top speed of 150mph, you'll definitely be the coolest environment geek with the fastest eco-friendly bike in between your legs. It can go as far 150 miles with one full charge and you can anytime stop anywhere with a plug point to juice up.

Being an electric bike, Mission One do not produce any carbon emission. So this bike is totally cool for the environment. I bet Captain Planet would wanna have one of this too.

Created by world-renowned designer Yves Behar and fuseproject, the Mission One blends traditional racing elements with a modern, pioneering sensibility.

One may compare a bike for it's power and performance. Now pay attention, Mission One produces max torque at Zero RPM, Max torque at 60 mph. Max torque everywhere in between. This baby can crank up over 100 ft-lbs of torque anytime you want.

So tell me, what is Hayabu... watcha-ma-call-it?
