Pagani, the inventors of one of the most striking supercars, has recently released a new teaser video of their upcoming model, theC9.

The C9 is the successor to the Pagani Zonda, which was a supercar in every sense of the word. It was loud, fast, and drew people's gaze as it ripped past.

The Zonda has been around since 1991. The Italian supercar has manifested its image in the minds of male children as one of the most stunning cars ever made. The styling alone makes it a fantastic piece of engineering, but when you add the sound, which is heavenly, and the speed, which is ferocious, you have yourself the ultimate playboy car.

In other words, if Darth Vader drove, he would drive a Zonda.

Tesla Model S gets Detroit charged up

Most people know Tesla for creating the Tesla Roadster: an electric car that resembles a Lotus Elise and can accelerate from 0-60 in less than 4 seconds.

As cool as the Roadster is, It was Tesla's Model S that caught people's attention at the Detroit Auto Show,  as well as the announcement of the Model X.

The Model X will be Tesla's electric powered SUV, and while it is still in the beginning stages (Tesla wanted to do the Model S first) just the idea of it is helping to turn Tesla from a one-off car company to a legitimate car maker.

The Model S is a little bit closer to production.

World's weirdest motorcycle

This may be the weirdest motorcycle ever made. It's a uni-motorcycle, only it's not because it can transform into the two-wheeled breed we are accustomed to seeing.

While it obviously falls into the category of motor transportation that is outside the norm, chances are this video is the only time you will ever see it because people buying motorcycles want a proper motorcycle, but hey, maybe somebody is looking for a novelty vehicle.

Either way, it's still worth seeing.

The winner of the North American car of the year were announced at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

The Chevrolet Volt won the award, beating out the Nissan Leaf and the Hyundai Sonota to win.

Chevrolet's electric car has been in the works for many years, and now that it's arrived, people are starting to see the genius of it. It is an electric car, but it has been able to do something other electric cars haven't.

Winter carnundrum

It is now, in Canada at least, the middle of winter and despite all the snow and ice, people still need to get around the city.

Some switch over to public transportation, but it can be hard to make the change from the convenience and greatness of a car, to the bus.

I could go on and on about how much better cars are than buses, trains, walking, or even biking which some hardcore environmentalists continue to do even in the -30 degree weather. I could talk about how you can listen to your own music without having the yabo sitting in front of you blasting his "beats" drowning out your modestly volumed iPod, or the fact that in your own car you control the smells that come aboard.

I could spend a lot of time ripping on the bus, but today it's going to get off easy.

There is different group of people that deserves a tongue-lashing today. And they already know who they are.
