Ferrari, nothing evokes emotions quite like the Italian car brand. The ultimate expression of motoring, Ferrari has built the most famed cars ever and their new efforts are just as impressive as the ones that built the brand. When a vintage Ferrari goes on sale it is always a noteworthy occasion. Forget classic car collectors, vintage Ferraris are reserved only for the mega rich.

This 1950s Ferrari 250 Europa Coupe Vignale is a one of a kind version of an already sought after coach built car. That means when this beautiful tobacco and burnt sienna stunner goes up for sale at the Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction in August it is going to fetch an astronomical price. We are talking millions of dollars, and the lucky owner will get a car that has been restored to the finest of details and is a classic of automobile history.

Hovercraft and amphibious car concepts are hardly rare, but we are always ready to see another, simply because IT IS A HOVERCRAFT CAR! The Volkswagen Aqua Hovercraft Concept has been designed by young Chinese artist Yuhan Zhang, and all we think when we see this is James Bond. Picture the Caribbean backdrop, imagine the buxom beauty on the arm, and imagine the Volkswagen Aqua Hovercraft Concept and you have a new 007 movie.

Zhang has gone for a hybrid design that means the main engine is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, so you will not be clogging up the seas or the roads with pollution. Turbines at the rear control thrust and the individual electric motors allow the craft to be steered on the water, on asphalt, or on just about any other surface for that matter. Of course it looks cool, of course we want one, and of course it will never be built, so cue the sad faces.
