Expensive Cars Seem To Be In The News,

so here is another one,

it is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, driven by Cameron Diaz, Enzo Ferrari enlisted Pininfarina to design the model and Scaglietti to build it, the car has a 3-litre V12 engine which develops 280bhp, giving it a 0-60mph time of eight seconds, pretty tame by today's standards, but a real firecracker when it was on the roads in the 1960's, having said that it did reach a top speed of 149mph, and the price for this beauty? a cool five million UK pounds,


John Collins, who runs Talacrest, the company selling the car said: 'the car underwent a full nut and bolt restoration three years ago which took two years to complete, I’ve only had the model up for sale for a week and I’ve already had plenty of interest from around the world, it is one of the most beautiful open-top Ferrari's ever built and one of the most desirable sports cars anywhere in the world,'

keeping to a transport theme and a little more down to earth, well not actually, a little more water and air, how about the Electric FlyNano? if you live and commute near waterways this could be for you, the FlyNano is a miniature electric flying boat, making it essentially an airborne jet ski, the original air plane was going to have a gas engine power plant, but the Finnish company says the ever-improving electric motors and batteries means FlyNano will be an all-electric air plane moving forward,


now here is the really good news, because the the lightweight carbon fibre fuselage and minimalist design, the air plane weighs less than 70 kilogrammes (154 pounds), its minimal mass helps improve performance, but more importantly for some, the weight falls under the Federal Aviation Administration’s definition of an ultralight aircraft, that means if the air plane can meet some of the other requirements, you wouldn’t have to have a pilot’s license to legally fly the FlyNano in the United States, I have to admit I am not sure about the restrictions in the UK or Europe about this but I am sure some one will look into it when the first FlyNano's roll off the production line,


on the downside there is no cockpit, or even a windshield but the manufacturer emphasises over and over its motto of “feel the wind.” and the minimalist design makes sure that won’t be a problem, all you have to do is wait till hopefully the end of next year and have $40,000 in your back pocket!
