FERRARI LAFERRARI

Ferrari LaFerrari

The cops are going to have one heck of a time playing catch-up when you speed past them in the Ferrari LaFerrari, a super-car that boasts 949 horsepower and 0 to 62 capabilities in less than three seconds. If that isn’t enough speed for you, the 6.3 liter, V12 engine and the seven-speed DCT gearbox combine with the HY-KERS drivetrain system to produce 0 to 124mph speeds in less than seven seconds and a max of 205mph.

This is one of those cars where the last thing the company wants you to know is the price, and this fact will be compounded by the fact that only 499 are being produced. Probably zero chance of us getting a sample product, but maybe Ferrari could at least send us some paint shavings. That’s as close as we’ll probably get to one of these things, but a guy can dream!

Volkswagen XL1

With all the giant leaps forward that car companies are making in fuel efficiency, you’ve got to wonder why the technologies haven’t taken off yet. We’re no conspiracy theorists, but it seems like when you can churn out a car of the Volkswagen XL1′s caliber, an overpriced gas crisis should be the last thing on anyone’s mind (or budget). Until whoever stops whatever they’re doing to fleece us at the pump, however, we can dream about the day when more people are driving around in cars like this.

The Volkswagen XL1 delivers an amazing 261 miles per gallon. Perhaps the only caveat to this beautiful looking machine is that it reaches speeds of only 99 miles per hour, but you do know the speed limit is 65, right? It can reportedly go 62 miles per hour while only using 8.3 horsepower, and travel 32 miles while coughing out zero emissions. Okay, population of the world, if you’re so serious about saving the planet, the ball’s in your court.

Turbine Powered Bat Car

The Casey Putsch Turbine Powered Bat Car will make every Batman dream you’ve ever had come true. Firstly, it allows you to role-play as the Caped Crusader. Secondly, it will help you pick up a lot more (cat)women than you’re probably accustomed to. (Hello, Mr. Millionaire Playboy.) And lastly, it will bring you face-to-face with your Gotham City’s seedier element, as every carjacker in town will likely want it for their own.

It does it with a 365-horsepower turboshaft engine from Boeing, adjustable suspension with disc brakes, a sturdy chassis of steel tubular space/monocoque and a combo of fiberglass and aluminum on the body, which is smoking hot by the way. This beast is made of some truly quality materials including a U.S. military-grade engine that’ll have you the talk of town for some time to come.

I Park Like an Idiot Bumper Sticker

How many times have you caught yourself in a crowded parking lot searching for a space and came upon the effin’ idiot who thinks his car is so important he deserves two spaces? Enough is enough. Those of us who’ve had difficulty fighting the urge to take our keys to their trusty paint job now have a method of expressing our disapproval without risking a lawsuit.

The I Park Like an Idiot bumper sticker allows you to peel one off and slap it right there on the middle of their windshield or their bumper for all the world to see. More importantly, for them to see. The folks at Threadless came up with this ingenius symbol of indignation and have made them available in 20-, 40-, and 100 packs. Rage on!

Aston Martin 2013 Vanquish

Scroll back through our archives, and you’ll see that inStash has long had a love affair with the Aston Martin. Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet, as they say. With the Aston Martin Vanquish, the company popularized by a certain secret agent’s driving preferences has won our hearts forever. How did they do it?

For starters, they placed a 5.9-liter V12 engine under the hood. This monster boasts about 565 horsepower and brings 457 lb-ft of torque to the table. Secondly, well, they just flat made a beautiful ride, particularly with that carbon fiber skirt which adds a touch of sex and sizzle to the road whenever this baby’s burning up the rubber. If Mr. Bond wants to switch cars, now’d be the time to do it.

audi

Audi 2014 RS 7

The Audi 2014 RS 7 tore up jack at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show wowing patrons with its luxury seating, bright white “color,” 0 to 62 ups in less than four seconds, and 560 horsepower. Top speeds on this luxury cruiser are around 189.5 miles per hour and with 516 lb-ft of torque, it handles like a dream.

On the inside, you’ll see a honeycomb design pattern on the seats that is soft and almost massaging. Tons of little knick-knacks to recommend, though very little space to cover everything, unlike the spacious interiors which offer plenty of headroom and storage capacity. You’ll also get three-zone A/C, cruise control, and the company’s trademark sound system which will blow your mind. We’re going to need a few more jobs.

INFINITI

2014 Infiniti Q50

Fresh off its Monday (Jan. 14) debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the 2014 Infiniti Q50 dropped jaws and jumped to the top of our 2013 Wish List. Living in luxury means one must drive in luxury and Infiniti through its new Q brand is making it possible to do just that. The design is an aggressive one for a luxury ride with a square-jawed superhero of a front end, arched roof line, and a frenetic wave shape that together speak to the future of luxury automobiles.

There could be a little more under the hood, but this isn’t a muscle car so we’ll let it slide. What’s there is nevertheless impressive and includes a 3.7-liter V6 and 328 horsies. A 3.5-liter hybrid engine is also available for all our fellow tree huggers with a considerably smaller 67hp. Seductive design, agile performance, and intuitive technology that allows you to use a touchscreen to do dozens of things we can’t even begin to describe. We’ll take the keys now please…

The Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica

Whenever the word “Lamborghini” is involved, you know it’s gotta be good. That’s what we thought when first checking out the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica. And once you lay eyes on this machine, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re like us, the first thing about a supercar like this one that draws you in is performance. Well, Lamborghini has you covered on that, building a top speed of 202 miles per hour into this behemoth with 0-62mph capabilities in 3.4 seconds. It does this through a 10-cylinder engine and 570 horsepower.

The only caveat is that fuel consumption could be a little better, but it’s actually quite competitive for cars of this ilk, running anywhere from 13 to 20 miles per gallon. But then, you don’t buy a Lamborghini of any type to impress the tree-huggers, do ya?

2013-mclaren-12c-can-am-edition

2013 McLaren 12C Can-Am Edition

The 2013 McLaren 12C Can-Am Edition takes the GT3 race car concept and puts it on steroids. The performance delivers an astounding 630 horses under the hood with a 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 that’ll blow away most of the competition. Until recently the car was designed as a concept, but TopSpeed reported in November 2012 that it would be heading into production. Good news for gearheads, bad news for all the other sad, pathetic cars on the blacktop.

Cosmetically, the 2013 McLaren 12C Can-Am looks like it leapt the race track. The inside is pretty no-frills, a two-seater that boasts six-point harnesses in case the car proves to be a little too hot to handle. A roll-cage is also on board for extra protection and air conditioning available for your comfort. On the outside, it features a sleek aerodynamic design that gives the impression it flew off the set of a Back to the Future film. Vuh-rooooom!

The Lyonheart K Luxury Sports Car

After six years behind the wheel of a Kia Rio, presenting me with the Lyonheart K Luxury Sports Car would be not unlike Zooey Deschanel approaching in everyday life and asking if I would make love to her. Sure, you fantasize about it, but at the end of the day you wouldn’t know what to do with yourself if the opportunity arose, most likely because hell would be in the process of freezing over.

And while that’s how likely it is this inStash writer will be behind the wheel of this 575 horsepower bad boy any time soon, a guy can dream, can’t he? Capable of speeds in excess of 186 miles per hour and 0-62 mph in less than four seconds, new kid on the block Lyonheart K delivers a luxury sports car experience every man can love. The smokin’ hot all-aluminum chassis doesn’t hurt matters either. Sha-wing!
