Mercedes Unimog U 5000 Firetruck
The 1,100-year-old Vatopedi monastery on Greece's Mount Athos is inaccessible by land and constantly threatened by forest fires. Sounds like the perfect job for a Unimog fire truck.
The famous monastery is an important orthodox pilgrimage site, isolated on the Halkidiki peninsula in northern Greece. Ideally, they'd like the pilgrims to not burst into flames. This is where the Unimog U 5000-based Schlingmann firetruck provides a great service. Equipped with a 5,000-liter tank and two foam/water canons the Unimog is big enough to take on the fires of hell. Even better, it's been blessed by Abbot Archimandrit Efrem. How do you top that? |
Ascari A10
The Ascari A10 is an automobile produced by the British company Ascari Cars that was conceived by a Dutch billionaire. It is a road-going evolution of the KZ1-R GT race car currently contesting the Spanish GT Championship, with both cars penned by ex-Formula One designer Paul Brown. It is the third road car produced by the company, after the Ecosse and the KZ1, with the name A10 intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the company. The A10 features a modified 5.0 L BMW V8 engine producing 625 bhp (466 kW)[1], delivered via a six speed sequential manual gearbox[1], with a regular H-pattern manual transmission available as an option. The A10 shares the same basic carbon fibre chassis as the KZ1, with all-new bodywork and racing-derived suspension. Despite the addition of an FIA-spec roll cage and the fire-suppression system, the removal of soundproofing and such luxuries as air conditioning and a stereo system contributes to the A10's relatively light weight of 1,280 kg (2,822 lb)[1]. Ascari claims that the A10 is capable of a top speed of 220 mph (354 km/h)[1] and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time of 2.8 seconds. |

Th!nk Frost
Norwegian designer Anders Gloslie decided that Eskimos should be able to enjoy awesome roadsters like the rest of us. He's created the TH!NK FROST, an oddly named super snowmobile for two. It's got treads instead of wheels and a body that's supposed to take a page from the arctic it would travel through, including light-reflective cracks along its chassis. The backside of the vehicle has a bunch of fans to keep things warm, and a dorsal, sensitive hose reads the environment and relays that information to the driver.
