I wonder if that Ferrari will actually get any bids. I mean - who would spend that much over an online auction site, even if it is ebay.

That is insane, I can't imagine how fast they must have been going.

Atleast the drivers seat seems to be the most intact section of the car.

Pretty sweet looking:

What is it? Well:

Inspired by the biggest, baddest Cobra of all – the renowned 427 – Ford engineers created a new aluminum-block V-10 to power the Ford Shelby Cobra concept. This 6.4-liter engine, adapted from Ford’s MOD family, delivers the rush of raw power associated with that big 1960s V-8 monster – with 605 horsepower and 501 foot-pounds of torque – without the aid of supercharging or turbocharging.

For all you people who are moaning that the 'stang doesn't have enough power without any of the "mods" (ie. blowers, chargers, intercoolers, etc.).............you got nuttin' anymore. ;)

That is kick ass.
Did you check out the movie? this thing is just crazy - I like it. :D

Yeah, the best part is when it explodes due to the torque.

I don't think you drive it so-much as hang on for dear life. ;)

Yah, that was pretty funny. I wonder why the guy turns the camera away at the end.

The damn thing sounds like a Jet aircraft taking off, pretty cool.

That wrap around couch is also a custom sub box.
There are 3 screens. 2 10" and 1 15". They can all play different things at the same time as well. It has a 6 DVD player. There's a camera in the grill that can be displayed on the screens.
Pretty much my dream come true. Sweet looking van with an entertainment system in back.

That is a pretty useful site, it looks like most of the new items are from trucks and SUV's. Although there are quite a few from Audi as well.
