Mithos ElectroMagnetic Sports-car Concept by Tiago Inaciovideo

The Mithos Electromagnetic Concept was first created back in 2006. Portuguese designer Tiago Miguel Inacio's EV project is a sleek and stylish supercar meant to run with high performance and zero-emissions.
He revisited his design recently and has just released a short clip showing the car in action. The clip seen here took about 3 months to produce.Inspired by Tim Burton's Batmobile, the Mithos Concept runs smooth and looks good in this HD-quality clip. The pure EV supercar runs on a 1.5 megawatt electric motor, meaning it has an equivalent and impressive power output of 2,011hp.The Mithos Concept is more than just a high-performance speedy EV. The body is built out of a hypothetical composite (meaning it doesn't exist yet), called H-Fiber.

Lamborghini Ferruccio concept by Mark Hostler. photos & video

Mark Hostler of Staffordshire University in England has created a concept car in tribute toLamborghini's 50th anniversary next year.The transportation design student created his Ferruccio concept to directly compete against Lamborghini's Italian rival's legendary FerrariEnzo.The super-aggressive Lamborghini Ferruccio concept takes its cues from the lineup of V12s the Italian supercar maker has produced over the years.

Hostler created the Ferruccio's steep front windshield to mimic the Countach and the design language is said to reflect the Miura."The Ferruccio is a car designed to showcase both the past and future of Lamborghini, showing how new design and technologies blend seamlessly with the company's rich heritage and history," said Hostler of his creation.The technological aspect comes in the form of efficient parts and pieces. Motivation comes in the form of a more fuel-efficient 5.0-liter V12 complete with direct injection, camless valve system and 'several turbochargers.'

Batman Pulled Over by Police Driving Lamborghini

You might remember our post last week about the Batman sighting in Maryland! Today a video released by Montgomery County Police shows the entire police stop, start to finish. We had to share this one with you, it’s just that funny!

The officers stopped the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder after spotting that it wasn’t wearing a licence plate. When it got to pulling the car over, the driver, local businessman Lenny B. Robinson, jumped out complete with a $ 5,000 replica costume.

It transpires that Batman was on his way to to visit sick children at Georgetown University Hospital. Apparently Lenny spends over $ 25,000 a year on Batman paraphernalia for his visits to the hospital. On this occasion, the police spared him a ticket.

A fantastic story involving a very generous supercar owner!

Year of manufacture: 1970 – 1976
Engine: V 12 – 4-litre displacement
Power: 350/365 HP
Max. speed: 260 km/h
Number of pieces: Jarama: 176 / Jarama S: 152

In 1970 Nuccio Bertone proposed the evolution of the Islero with the Jarama. Conceived for the “gentleman” driver, this car is an ideal mix of elegance and power. It was one of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s favourites who appreciated the excellent combination between the 365 HP and luxurious comfort, without the focussed attention that a Miura or an Espada stirred up. Besides 15 HP, the interior of the Jarama S version, presented in 1972, was completely restyled.
