There's a new bike in town and it isn't like any you've seen before. The Uno is a visual combination of a unicycle and the Segway -- certainly not your typical motorized bike though. Created by an 18-year-old Canadian, Ben Gulak, that wanted to find a better mode of transportation inspired by a smoggy trip to China, the Uno uses gyroscopic technology, balances automatically, turns on a dime and has only one switch to turn it on and off.

One could not be blamed for expecting a lot from Lamborghini’s upgrade to its most successful model of all time, and the Gallardo LP560 far from disappoints.

The supercar’s original, already impressive 5.0L, V10 engine is replaced with a 5.2L V10 with FSI direct injection, which along with a reduced curb weight of 20 kg, gives the LP560 560 hp, a top speed of 323.5 km/h (201 mph) and a blisteringly swift 0-100 km/h (0 – 62 mph) time of 3.7 seconds.

Other noteworthy upgrades include a redesigned, bolder exterior, 31% higher aerodynamic efficiency, 40% faster gear change times, improved suspension, traction, handling and stability, an integrated pedestrian protection system and an optional carbon ceramic brake system.

What does somebody do with 1,001 horsepower and a top speed of 407 km/h (or 253mph)? This is the question owners of the Bugatti Veyron might just ask themselves. Harking back to a collaboration first initiated in the 1920s, Bugatti has teamed up with haute couture house Hermes and designer Gabriele Pezzini, to accessorize the Veyron.

Showcased for the first time at the 2008 Geneva Autoshow, the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès is named after Hermès’ historical headquarters on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. The “Fbg” references the house’s “faubourg” address.

And if we talk about automobiles then the industry is smilingly following the above statement. We or at least I am bored of existing and upcoming models of cars as there is hardly any innovativeness in terms of its appeal. Lately, I came across a revolutionary creation of coupe made up of stolid wooden by an established designer Joe Harmon, in collaboration with students at North Carolina State University.
