PAL-V One
The license requirement. In both Europe and the US, flying the PAL-V will require a sports aviation license, which demands at least a minor investment in time (as much as 40 hours), and a significant financial investment (about $6,500), to earn. The harder such a license to obtain, the better. Unfortunately, these requirements are far below those for airplanes and helicopters, giving us some pause.

Lamborghini Gallardo
A Lamborghini is and always will be a highly efficient athlete. Its extreme sensuality is based upon precision, performance and on spontaneous action. A Lamborghini's elegance is that of stark, purist strength. This DNA of the Lamborghini brand is being continuously developed by the Centro Stile in every new car. Thus the Gallardo LP560-4 displays the precise lines and clean surface edges in its distinctly minimalist design. Ornaments or embellishments of any form are alien to it.

Tu-160 at MAKS 2007
A long narrow often cylindrical form, called a fuselage, usually with tapered or rounded ends to make its shape aerodynamically smooth. The fuselage carries the human flight crew if the aircraft is piloted, the passengers if the aircraft is a passenger aircraft, other cargo or payload, and engines and/or fuel if the aircraft is so equipped. The pilots operate the aircraft from a cockpit located at the front or top of the fuselage and equipped with windows, controls, and instruments. Passengers and cargo occupy the remaining available space in the fuselage. Some aircraft may have two fuselages, or additional pods or booms.
F16
At least one horizontal surface at the front or back of the fuselage used to stabilize the aircraft about its pitch axis (the axis around which the aircraft tilts upward or downward). The horizontal stabilizer (also known as tailplane) is usually mounted near the rear of the fuselage, or at the top of the vertical stabilizer, or sometimes a canard is mounted near the front of the fuselage for the same purpose.

One look at the 4-passenger Moller M400 Skycar and we don’t much care who you are, this is a dynamo—hustler and hooker, the collective futurecars dream.
The safety. Emergency parachutes (you won’t likely see that again anytime soon in a car review).

Future Lexus
Overview
Lexus introduced the all-new Taurus at the North American International Auto Show in January, and it's quite a change from past years.
While Lexus has aimed to turn the Taurus into its flagship car, the company has also shifted the car’s appeal. Instead of making the Taurus a staid family car with a high seating position and capable but conservative handling, Lexus has targeted fun driving dynamics and a high, sportier design. The roof line has been lowered by about three inches and the driving position has been lowered about two inches

Ferrari 360
The 360 Modena is a clean-sheet design which anticipates trends for future Ferrari road cars.

The 360 Modena is the first production Ferrari to be constructed entirely in aluminum. Chassis, bodyshell and suspension wishbones are all made from this light-weight material, allowing the engineers to provide the best overall performance and handling ever achieved in a mid-engined Ferrari, along with levels of comfort unheard of before.

Mazda RX-8
The car's revised suspension, which drops the ride height by almost 1 inch, improves the standard car's class leading dynamics and adds to the concept's visual impact. Suspension modifications focus on new specification, stiffer Eibach springs that help improve the already impressive grip offered by the RX-8's multi-link front and rear suspension. The revised suspension settings, which help reduce body roll, further sharpen responses from the car's electric-driven rack and pinion steering.

Maybach Exelero
Just imagine an automobile that combines the elegance and first-class quality of a high-end limousine with the powerful suppleness of a sports coupe. Create a vehicle in your mind's eye which, with an unladen weight of over 2.66 tons and the dimensions of a small transporter, achieves a maximum speed of over 210 mph. Conceive an ultra-high performance tire which not only copes with the aforementioned weight, the dimensions and the speed, but also makes the automobile safe, stable and comfortable. Such a vehicle and such tires do not exist? Now they do. Meet Maybach Exelero with Fulda tires.
