Crazy Vehicle

The sleek and futuristic Biplane aims to capture the feeling of acceleration,  the feeling experienced by riders accelerating down a long straight,  or plane passengers when taking off.  Powered by a 1,000cc V-Four and sporting a stunning, open layout,   the Biplane creates a fresh new motorcycle image bound to capture the imagination of motorcycle enthusiasts.

The verdict is still up in the air regarding the futuristic, dynamic looks of the Suzuki B-King. It seems you either hate it or love it. What can be said for sure is the B-King is very fast, enough to match a sports 1000. It’s just a shame it’s restricted to 150mph. The B-King is a lovely road motorcycle, has loads of torque and is easy to ride despite its size. It’s smooth, has good brakes and its only weakness is its soft rear, which results in a lack of traction when pushing really hard. Ride Quality & Brakes Despite the Suzuki B-King’s bulk it handles far better than its size suggests. Once on the move the B-King’s weight disappears, you would never guess its actual weight. The brakes are excellent, you only notice the lack of ground clearance on track but the shock is a little on the soft side and it can soon start fighting for grip. Engine The Suzuki B-King’s engine comes from the new Hayabusa and produces 164bhp with an arm-ripping 94.5 ftlb of torque. O...

I t’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. It’s a similar, pared-back two-seater, only this time the X-Bow R brings an uprated version of the Audi 2.0-litre four-cylinder. It’s the turbocharged TFSI engine, boosted to 296bhp and 295lb ft of torque. That’s more than in the donor Audi S3 and TT-S, which produce no more than 268bhp. Thank a larger turbocharger, reprogrammed Bosch engine management and new fuel injectors. And the engine changes are just scratching the surface of a series of upgrades to build this fastest ever KTM with four wheels. So the KTM X-Bow R is quicker than most Ferraris? Yes. Prod the throttle and the R simply flies towards the horizon. Ther...

Pretty weird, as it may seem, this is in fact not a toy Batmobile. The guys at Lazareth, one of France’s lesser known carmaking brands, have recently unveiled a striking 4-wheeler they’ve named the Wazuma V8F Matt Edition. As odd as it may look, this is a very interesting project, with two largely spaced wheels at the front, while the two at the rear seem to be tied together. Muscle-wise, the Wazuma V8F boasts a mighty 3.0-liter V8 engine, manufactured by Ferrari, delivering 250 HP. It doesn’t seem that much indeed, but do remember this vehicle tips the scales at just 650 kg Another interesting feature is the fuel injection system – it comes from a motorcycle, being closely assisted by a Sybelle engine management system controllable via computer interface. Furthermore, the engine is mated to a 6-speed sequential transmission from a BMW M3. The Lazareth Wazuma V8F runs on specially made Mono wheels, wrapped in 285-30ZR18 tires at the front and 315-30ZR18 at the rear, further f...

The  Lamborghini  Veneno  hit the scene to a relatively lukewarm reception at best, but the lack of media and enthusiast frenzy sure didn’t stop it from planning a roadster version. The new  Veneno  Roadster was unveiled this past weekend, and there are few differences between it and the coupe model. The typical roadster has a top that the driver can raise and lower at his demand, but the Veneno is no typical car. Instead,  Lamborghini  opted to hack the top off altogether. In terms of overall design, the Veneno Roadster looks nearly identical to its coupe brother, so it retains that crazy exterior look, with exception to it lack of a roof. Unlike the coupe versio, which was limited to just three units, Lamborghini will limit the new Veneno Roadster to nine units. Each will carry a price tag of $4.5 million. Update 12/2/2013:  The $4.5 million Veneno recently made its public debut in Abu Dhabi. The venue for the unveiling was somet...

W Motors  rolled into the 2013  Dubai Auto Show  with the brand-new  Lykan HyperSport  . Now, just a few days later, it has already released the first teaser images of the upcoming SuperSport, which is set to arrive in 2015. Just like the HyperSport, the upcoming SuperSport features an aggressive front fascia with LED headlights and massive air intakes, a ventilated hood, carbon-fiber side skirts and side air intakes. Around back, the SuperSport features a large rear diffuser and a quad-exit exhaust system. W Motors remained quiet on the specifications, but it looks like the SuperSport will deliver "even better performance" than the HyperSport. This really gets our mouths watering, considering the HyperSport is powered by a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged, six-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 750 horsepower. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and the speedo keeps climbing to 239 mph. Unlike the  Lykan HyperSport  , the future Su...
