SEPEDA MOTOR TERBARU

Two Motorbikes Become One Car In IndiaInspired by India's "buy one get one free" mentality, designer Ramesh Gound has created a concept where two motorbike owners can join them together, creating a fancy sports car for longer drives.
Gound's idea has sprung from his diploma project at the National Institute of Design, and was actually sponsored by Renault Design. While the car manufacturer doesn't actually make motorbikes, perhaps they'll offer Gound a job when he leaves school—I'd love to see these dual motorbikes/car hybrids on the road. [Yanko Design]

The Flying Car That Can Blow Up the Death StarThere are flying cars and there are Flying Cars. This is a FLYING CAR. And that's not all, because it can transform.
The Flying Car That Can Blow Up the Death Star
The car concept was created by Pan Jiazhi, Zhu Wenxi and Lai Zexin, working at the Department of Industrial Design in School of Mechanical & Automotive Engineering, China. Oh Pan, Zhu, and Lai, I so want to believe in you. [SCUT via ICSID via Born Rich]

This Ferrari Gets You Through Your Quarter Life CrisisYou're 25 and life is tough. You got laid off at work. Your girlfriend dumped you. You ate three KFC Double Downs last week...unironically. You need to get behind the wheel of a Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT racing game controller.
Every crisis deserves a sports car. And Thrustmaster's Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is yours, letting you really get behind the wheel of all those PC and PS3 racing game-sports cars that make this life one worth living. The Cockpit is wireless—God knows one more tangled controller cord could put you over the edge—and it folds up for easy stowage. But you aren't going to be stowing this thing; it's going to be a monument to your new and improved life.
This Ferrari Gets You Through Your Quarter Life Crisis
Look at that. Not a pork rind or a dirty sock in sight. As for the Cockpit itself, it's a fully customizable, detailed reproduction of a real Ferrari 430 Scuderia, sporting an 11" wheel and a brake pedal with magnetic resistance for more realistic pedal-mashing. Most enticingly, its 23-pound metal body will keep it from toppling when you're leaning into those turns. And you will be.
Start scouring the crevices of your threadbare couch for change now—the $249.99 Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition will be available to drive you far, far away from this miserable life next month. [Thrustmaster]

SKUTER DENGAN PELINDUNG

The Scooter Armadillo, Also Known as Urban Roadkill
Ini konsep skuter dengan pelindung seperti binatang trenggiling, aman dan bisa dicoba kok........
I know this will come as a shock, but as admittedly awesome as this armadillo-inspired concept may be, nobody wants to steal your moped. [themarkswork via INewIdea via OhGizmo!]

Someone Finally Realized That Super Expensive Yachts Need GaragesThere are plenty of super yacht concepts that I'll never touch, much less own—such as ones with three level designs or impossible masts—but I'm still happy that a design finally includes a built-in garage. And a super car.
The Strand Craft 122 design is a crazy 38 meter beauty that comes with room for an even crazier concept car:
The most stunning feature on this yacht is a special handcrafted supercar (Tender) powered by a 880hp twin turbo V12 engine with topspeed 375kmh can be housed in as a tender in the stern garage.
Ah, maybe one day concepts like this will be real—and affordable enough that all of us can take a lazy trip around the world. [Gray Design via Luxist]
