Once reserved for a primer, matte black is a crisp color for an automobile.
The $25,000 Cupcake Car
Wow, Neiman Marcus you’ve amazed me again. After looking at this guy, I wonder if The Onion could pull off a PSA about the dangers of eating cupcakes? Ha. Or maybe it just seems a little pedo to me after reading this part of the sales pitch…”Ever had a crowd of kids chasing after you just for the crazy gleeful heck of it?” Because I think Pedos get off to the word gleeful. Go on Neiman Marcus, go on.

small, tiny, and cool: The Aston Martin Cygnet
Back in July, Aston Martin made news for it’s concept car Cygnet. Based around Toyota’s iQ, this little guy is set to go on sale in Europe next year. It does not support the power of the V8 or V12 the AM’s are known for, so think of it more as your zip around the corner car. The one you pick girls up in and do not totally feel like a tool. At first, the production will be limited, as well as your ability to purchase it (one must own an Aston, to be granted the right). The Cygnet will also feature bespoke interiors, could you expect anything less?

Marc Newson x Ford: A Car that should have been made, or should be made now
The Ford 021c concept car was designed by Marc Newson in 1999. Newson named the car 021c, after his favorite Pantone color.
Chances of us driving this Lamborghini Reventón Roadster…
Well, that’s really up to them I guess.
I’d like one of those oversize matchbox versions of these, to roll around my non-existent desk.
My New Hero
An Arizona man donning a monkey mask has gotten 37 speeding tickets. He “also occasionally dons a giraffe or gazelle mask.”
Small is good, a strictly functional object
The Swiss are not known for the automobiles but, they are known for making small, detailed mechanical bracelets i.e.watches, as well as hiding money. That may change, check out this simply designed, little gem of a car. The e’mo was created at Rapperswil’s Technical University with the vision to simplify the impact of the automobile on the environment. This little electric car looks cooler than a hotwheel, and would go well with the Plus One bike. Available in 2010. For more info go here www. e-mo-car.ch
porsche dreams
Is that a tractor? British GQ has very cool slideshow from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany. The museum looks as amazing as the cars.
“The museum provides a veritable history of Porsche, showcasing everything from the frame of the Type 64 built in 1939 to the 911, 2.0 Coupe of 1964, the 968 Cabriolet of 1995 to the 908 Spyder of 1970 and also previews the Porsche Panamera, which will be released in September.”
The Museum contains Christophours restaurant and a cigar lounge featuring Laura Chavin cigars. What more can you ask for!
See a shot of the building after the jump.
The future looks really cool
Neville Mars’ Solar Forest. A cool, shady parking lot to charge your electric car. Is that a Chrysler I see in the future too?

A Font Designed by a Car
The ‘R’ is really nice. Big ups to Dutch Toyota for throwing some money at this.
“Two typographers ( Pierre & Damien / plmd.me ) and a pro race pilot (Stef van Campenhoudt) collaborated to design a font with a car.
The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman.”
the Dopest Detail: The Porsche Panamera’s key
When you buy a Porsche, expect the complete package. A key in the shape of the car? Ridiculous. The 4-door ride is not too shabby looking either.
