Yup. And about frikkin' time! See the official press release below the jump, but it looks like Ridley Scott is on a roll (like he ever wasn't). Blade Runner and Spinner fans rejoice. "Wake up! Time to die..."
More »Great concept by Pierpaolo Lazzarini, a series of design studies entitled "Formula Future." Those are some slick and huge race cars! But the designer's name is a bit long, so let's just call Laz.
Laz's car would have been a good racer for Speed Racer, but it brings up the question, "What is the future of Formula 1 over the next 50 years?" Could cars like this actually be the norm? If they are, then the track will have to get a bit bigger, too. And... the teams, the fuel systems, everything. Even the girls at the track. Not bigger girls, I mean... just more of them. And that, would be a good thing. Wait. What was this about again?
Oh, great job here on the car. More views below the jump! Peace Out.
More »So, you don't have to wait to see the first episode of the new animated Tron Uprising. And it's nearly as good as Tron Legacy... only a bit shorter. If you liked the movie, then this is your thing... Check out the episode after the jump!
More »If you want a close-up look at the TUMBLER or BATPOD from the upcoming DARK KNIGHT RISES, then check out The Tumbler Tour. It's comin' to yer town, baby... maybe. Keep checking back for updates. Tour dates after the jump!
More »Ok, I'm just gonna come out and say it... I feel bad for GAS STATIONS. I mean, let's drop what we're doing for a second and think about th
Gas Stations. It's not like they set out to be bad and all that. Like an evil twin or something. You glide in... actually, you race in. You get served with a smile.... actually, you don't get any service at all and you have to do it all yourself. But, but...
Poor lil' Gas Stations are gettin' put out to pasture because BIG MEAN CAR COMPANIES like HONDA are making cars that don't need them any more. FOR SHAAAAAAMMMME. The doods at Honda should know better than to make a fuel efficient car that hardly ever needs gas... if at all. Bad, Honda. No treat.
Ah, RVs. When you pass an RV on the highway, you can't not say... "Yea, gonna get me one-a those when I retire." And then, you realize that retirement is like... really far away, even if you retire at all. (Remember what Retirement was in Blade Runner? This is bad.) So, my answer is to retire now. Boom. Go quit your job, right now. I'll wait... Dumti, dum... Oh, wait, it's Saturday. Doh! Ok, so do it Monday. I'm down with that. Oki doki. All set? Good. Now let's go shoppin' for a cool RV...
Oh! Look at this! My boy Scotty sent me this cool pict of WHAT RVS SHOULD LOOK LIKE NOW! Not the stoooopid boxes you see rollin' around on the highway like Roach Coaches!! I MEAN, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??? YOU SPEND 125 GRAND ON A BOX?? WWAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Did you forget that coffins are boxes, too? And like, if you don't have enough money for an urn, they put YOU in a box?? Then dump you in the ocean with the rest of the fish food? Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't sound like an RV Adventure.
Ok. This RV is cool. Only,... it's just a model and not real. Which means we can't buy it. Hold on while I bang my head against my table for a sec...
If you didn't know it, Picture Car Warehouse is the "it" place for building Movie Cars. Which is why I work with buddy and owner, Ted Moser to do some fun cars together. Right now, we're working on a couple of projects that are pretty cool, although Top Secret. As a designer, I get to conceptualize a lot of cool cars and then Ted gets to build them. So, we make a good team. And although these Black Beauties from THE GREEN HORNET weren't actually built here, they ended up here as Ted accumulates a lot of vehicles from different projects as well as creating some truly awesome project vehicles for upcoming films and promotions. PCW has done some incredible stuff for Hot Wheels.
Last week, after a meeting on the vehicles I'm designing, I walked the shop to see what was new, as every week new cars appear. And there's plenty which I'm going to start writing about each week. But these Beauties have been here for a while, waiting for the sequel to Green Hornet. Although, that won't be happening anytime soon since the movie tanked. But, the funny thing is, it wasn't all that bad...
But now, what to do with a bullet riddled Beauty?
More »Tons of cool cars appeared over the week, from all over the world. And a big thanks to everyone including Jud, Evan, Wormboy and Mr. Peanut who sent me rides and concepts. Although, some a bit strange... and you guys should go have yourself checked out as soon as possible. Just a thought. ... Seriously. I mean, there's something wrong with you.
Anywho, if I could give you the keys to one of these right now, which one would it be? An no, the Snail doesn't come in black. Although, I wouldn't suggest you try and make a getaway with this as the trail it leaves really sucks.
Oh, and my All New Facebook Gallery was just uploaded! Check it out...
FORD TAURUS BAME
More »Definitely not something you see every day, but the BatVehicles hit the streets of Burbank near WB recently for a jaunt through LA. (My design is the #2 car.) They look pretty cool all together and that begs the question... what will be next? There's been hundreds of BatDesigns that would/could look cool, but the Tumbler is certainly Mr. Badass right now. Feast...
Limited to 88 builds and at a cost of $990,000... each. Ouch. The Rimac Concept One has an Electric Powerplant that has four sub-systems, each with one motor, inverter and reduction gearbox. Each of the four motors powers a wheel. Combined output is 1,073hp and 1,180 lb-ft. Not so ouch. It weighs in at 3,638 lbs and can hit 62mph in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 190mph. And the battery range is 373 miles! Now were talking.' A carbon-fiber body designed by Adriano Mudri while the interior is by Ex- Pininfarina employees. To me the design is the least interesting thing about this car. It isn't bad... but isn't that innovative either. What do you think?
