Santa Claus

This Christmas, Santa Claus is getting hi-tech. Yesterday it was the turn of Land Rover to show off its version of Santa’s sleigh, designed by GE to make Father Christmas’s,  Santa’s life easier. Santa Claus go anywhere 4×4 delivery wagon was sketched out exclusively for CAR Online as a part of Christmas 2009 special feature.

Florian Dobe, the Land Rover sledge has designed this all terrain 4×4 delivery wagon and submitted by Oliver Le Grice, Land Rover’s chief designer of advanced design to deliver presents to all corners of the Earth.

The Midlands design HQ has attached a spec sheet helpfully, this Land Rover has height adjustable suspension and a hitherto top-secret powertrain option: a particle accelerator. For a two-seater layout, Land Rover has plumped with space for a reindeer in front of Santa. In his Land Rover sledge, Santa Claus is clearly at home; while he views his pop-up holographic globe sat-nav, he is puffing on a generously sized cigar.

A spokeswoman had given the statement that Land Rover Design with Santa Claus launches the Christmas sledge of the future; it is designed to meet the ever-increasing delivery timetable.

It boasts all-terrain capability and is powered by particle accelerator technology. It has optional laser guided present delivery. There is CRS: chimney recognition software.

Now, nobody wants Santa skimping on boot space, do they?

Ferrari P540

You would love your latest car to make a different experience and that it is a reflection of your desire and passions also but you might have thought that it is not possible to have such a car. The customer, Edward Walson who is a son of John Walson and the inventor of cable TV, was inspired by the special Fantuzzi-designed Ferrari built specifically for the Fellini section Toby Dammit of the three-chapter 1968 film Histoires Extraordinaires. He just parked his P540 Superfast Aperta that was essentially designed by the client himself.

All thanks to the Ferrari Special Projects program. It took around 14 months to complete the open-top P540 Superfast Aperta for proving the customer satisfaction to the fullest.

In 2008, Walson approached Ferrari and made a comment that he had always dreamed of designing sports cars and when he saw this film then he took a decision that one day he would have ‘his’ Ferrari. It took just 14 months from commission to testing at Fiorano. This P540 Superfast Aperta weighs an extra 20kg; he gave thanks mainly to the extensive use of carbonfibre.

At Fiorano, Walson took delivery and delighted with his commission, said This is the most special Christmas present of my life.”

So, would you like to own your dream car?

World’s most Luxurious London bus restores by Bentley

Posted by admin On December - 4 - 2009

London busThe genius craftsmen at Bentley have been touched a former red London bus to keep the legacy running on the London streets. The craftsmen at Bentley have lovingly restored a former London bus, in bespoke leather and all the trimmings. Its result might make you ponder if it has made it to the world’s most luxurious bus. The bus belongs to a UK arm of St Luke’s hospice after it was donated to the organization earlier this year. Then they asked Bentley Motors to restore the lost sheen for use as a mobile charity shop.

This project was done in bespoke leather by 59 Bentley staff members with over 2,000 hours of skilled labor to complete. When this team managed to retain many of the original fixtures then Luke London bus_2(name of bus) has been endowed with signature Bentley finishes. Bespoke work surfaces and Hand-stitched leather are seen throughout that allows the bus to cater to its many roles as an awareness centre and travelling shop.

So, I hope the world’s most luxurious bus will always keep the legacy running on the London streets.
