Little bit late to the party, but this is my celebration model for 40years of LEGO Technic.
It had to be shaped like 70's and early 80's supercars (AR Carabo, Lamborghini Countach, Toyota MR2 etc.)
Another secret US Air Force concept from back in the 80s.
The name MAKO comes from the sharklike shaped design in the cockpit section.
Also the speedtest results was nothing the Navy had seen before.
The two boosterpacks can be used to reach the stratosphere.
The blueprints of this baby are kept in a secret bunker near Area 51.
I got lucky to lay my hands on it.
Who has thought a videogame would inspire the Army to test such crazy designs ;)
Have fun!
Concept One by Rimac automobili is Croatian first electric powered supercar.
We went to visit their manufacturing facility and also to take a look at the car.

Built as both a spider and a coupe, the Spicup was daring prototype made by Bertone and Marcello Gandini for BMW. A highlight of the design was the three-piece sliding top made of stainless steel, but this didn’t stop the Spicup from becoming a relative failure. It was totally out of place with BMW's refined model line and was not suitable for production.
Using the BMW 2500 as a backbone, the designers at Bertone shortened the chassis to fit a new body and interior. Inside, only the gauges and pedals remained stock. Bertone fitted a new dashboard, seats and carpet with two tone, green on green upholstery.
Bertone describes the car: "The considerable dimensions of the mechanical components were handled by creating almost excessively fluid vertical lines. At the same time, the relatively important tail and wings become the car's focal point. The rollbars had to satisfy a combination safety needs and design criteria, and Bertone solved the problem with an automatic mechanism which also contained the elements for the transformation from spider to coupé and back again.
For the Spicup, Bertone used the larger inline-6 from the BMW 2800. This capable 2.8 liter, six-cylinder engine produced 170 bhp and drove the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. These components made the prototype fully functional.
Revealed at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show, the Spicup had a great resemblance to the Alfa Romeo Montreal prototype released at the 1967 Montreal Expo. This was especially true of the semi-hidden headlights with motorized flaps. However at the front Bertone kept BMW's 'double kidney' motif, but with obscure padded inserts.
Having little to do with past or future BMWs, the company quickly sold the Spicup to an enthusiastic owner that racked up over 60,000 miles (100,000 kms) traveling constantly from the Netherlands to Germany. This was largely possible due to the BMW 2500 underpinnings. At some point the body was painted orange and the engine cover was attached in unit with the hood.
In recent times the Spicup was found by Paul Koot in the Netherlands along with an Intermeccanica Indra. It was complete and a subsequent restoration was completed for Roland D'Ieteren in Belgium. Painted its original hue of green with triple-tone interior, the Spicup made its debut at the 2009 Villa d’Este Concours with BMW as the acting sponsor.

This Lego miniland-scale BMW / Bertone Spicup - Concept 1969 has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 100th Build Challenge - our Centenary, titled 'One Hundred Ways to Win!'. In this challenge, a list of 100 challenges is available, kept by the admins. Individuals wishing to enter, request a number from 1-100 (so long as it has not already been requested) - and the admins assign the individual build challenge associated with that number.
In the case of admins entering models - they request that a general LUGNuts member assigns a number - and the admin must build to that challenge number.
In this case, the number 14 was chosen for me, corresponding to the challenge: #14.Design a vehicle for Spiderman or Green Lantern.
The BMW / Bertone Spicup Concept is pretty much as presented here, but for the modification of the front windscreen to clear yellow. The original show car even has the two tone lime and dark green interior!
I chose to build this car for the Green Lantern due to the colour (obviously), but also, the character has had a few reboots over the years, including a stint in the late 1960s, early 1970s. This car was originally fitted with a standard BMW 2800 inline six, but could easily be imagined with the BMW 3.4 litre M-Power engine of the same vintage (as used int he CSL racers) - making for one mighty fast road car. The car is also distinctive without being completely out of place driving along the roads of the period.
The Jaguar XK 180 was a concept car created by Jaguar Cars to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the XK car and to show the world the skills of Jaguar stylists, craftsmen and engineers. Only two were built.
It had a 4.2 litre supercharged V8 engine with four valves per cylinder, developing 450 bhp and 445 Ft-Lbs (605Nm) of torque. Its transmission was a five-speed automatic gearbox with rear wheel drive. Seating capacity was two. The top speed was 180 mph (290kmh) and the time to accelerate from standstill to 100km/h was 4.5 seconds. It was capable of covering a 1/4 mile (400m) in 13.5 seconds at 106 mph (170kmh).
The XK180 was styled in the Jaguar Styling Department under the eye of the Company's Director of Styling Geoff Lawson. The lines of the car were the work of Keith Helfet, a Senior Designer at Jaguar and best known for his work on the XJ 220. Helfet's brief was to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the introduction of the XK Series and he drew influences from a range of XK-powered machines, notably the D-Type. The result combines echoes of past racing Jaguars, in the shape of its rounded nose and the headrests behind the seats, and such unique forms as the 'double-bubble' windscreen.

Nice to find a museum that let's you use a tripod:- 4 seconds at F22 and ISO100
From a side view, you can really see the sculpted mandibles on the mask. As cool as this design is, I understand why they went with a plainer one to avoid spoilers.
These are just three pages sketches from one of my sketchbooks. They are from my Design and Technology project this year, where I am designing a new office building for a client. I feel it is a good example of how my ideas developed. Eventually I began developing this idea of how the views and perspectives should be just as varied and interesting from the inside, as well as from the outside.
If there's a vehicle that's more infamous than famous, that vehicle would have to be the Sandman. It attracted attention - for all the wrong reasons - in the seventies, but is nevertheless an iconic part of Aussie motoring history. When the Monaro was revived on the eve of the new Millennium, it seemed natural for the Sandman to follow, which it did at the Sydney Motor Show in 2000.
The reboot of the Sandman became a collaboration between Holden and streetwear/surfwear brand, Mambo, but had its roots in a sketch by Andrew Smith, one of Holden's young designers, in 1997. From that sketch, the idea of new Sandman stagnated, according to Holden's Executive in Charge of Design, Mike Simcoe, until Mambo was invited to be a part of the project.
"As I see it, here you have two Australian legends getting together and having fun," Simcoe said.
"Mambo's a cutting edge company with a whimsical outlook on life, while we tend to be a little more on the conservative side. When two talented design teams approach a task from entirely different directions, you're bound to get a pretty amazing result."
Based on a stock VU ute, the Sandman concept featured a unique canopy to mimic the panel van look, topped by a special Mambo surfboard, but it was the riot of colour and bold graphics that drew the most attention. Dubbed "Burnin' Love", the paint featured a vibrant mix of red, orange and tangerine in a very Mambo-esque take on the classic hot rod flamed paint job. A modern interpretation of the Sandman tailgate graphic was rendered in the same colours, while that essential panel van accessory - the airbrushed mural - was copied off original art created by Mambo art director, David McKay. A 'bush goddess' graced one side, while a 'beach goddess' featured on the other.
Inside, the "Burnin' Love" themed continued with flame appliquéd seats in red leather, tangerine suede and orange velour produced by Paratus Industries to the Mambo/Holden design. The flame treatment even extended to the instrument cluster, dubbed 'bushfire alert'! In the back, a 'chill out zone' featured freeform seating, surround-sound theatre system and more flame motifs in the ceiling lights. Car Shine supplied the 19-inch Lorinser wheels, tyres and brakes that featured the Mambo logo milled on the calipers.
One of the stars of the Sydney show, with a "cool" factor that was off the scale, the Sandman concept remains one of Holden's best loved. Following its tour of the shows, the Sandman was put on display at GM-H headquarters in Port Melbourne.
