This is how… I want to ride!

I think I have fallen in love.  It is going to have to be an unrequited love, I fear, because no Mercedes will love you back unless you can actually afford it.  And, of course, even though this is still a concept — the Mercedes Concept BlueZero, to be exact — you know it is going to be seriously dear when it finally comes out.

Still … man, what I would not give for a piece of that.  I even want it in just this color.  It makes the BlueZero look somehow radioactive.  There is something inexplicably Hulk like about it, I don’t know what it is.

The car is also clean; you will be able to get it propelled by pure electricity, a fuel cell, or as a hybrid. What could be better than that, right?

Oh, maybe if it went on sale for something like twenty grand. Other than that, it is perfection as is.

It looks like next week, at Frankfurt – it is going to be a battle of the supercars.  It also looks like the images for all of these supercars are leaking onto the internet ahead of schedule and that is definitely good for us – take the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster.  This is definitely one supercar that I would not only love to own but I would at least love to see, touch, feel and maybe drive!  This is a certainly one car that has been through a reinvention – a million-plus reinvention.

The Lamborghini Reventón Roadster has the same stealth fighter-inspired body, but it is certainly a car that has been redone up and it will be making its appearance at Frankfurt next week.  Do you want to know some specs?  Well, the top speed is expected to be well over 200 mph and it is supposed to have a V12, 650 HP engine.

So really – take a look at it and tell me that you would not want to drive up anywhere in the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster!

While I know that this is a blog about dream cars – I think that it is very important that we all keep ourselves up to speed on what is happening in the auto world.  Well, GM has certainly changed their way of thinking and the way that they are doing things haven’t they?  They are actually offering up incentives for their customers and to me … that is something that GM Is not exactly known for.

The GM “Satisfaction Guaranteed” is a brand new program for GM and it is a program – that if it works, it truly can make GM one of the top competitors for cars.  What this program basically allows is for 60-days, you will get your money back on any Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick or GMC vehicle purchased.

To me, this is an awesome program that is going to bring in a hell of a lot of GM and right now, it is something that they need!

Porsche – it seems to be the brand that everyone is talking about right now right?  Whether they are discussing the merge between Porsche and Volkswagen or they are discussing the all new 2010 Porsche Panamera – Porsche the brand and the name are certainly on a lot of people’s minds right now.  Currently, on my mind is the brand new – four door 2010 Porsche Panamera.  This car is actually redefining Porsche as we know it and that is awesome!

While right at the moment, no one really knows exactly what is going to happen to the product line that Porsche has lined up – seeing as VW is taking over, however there is talk that it is going to change drastically.  That could be a good thing actually.  There could even be a Porsche SUV, which would be luxury at its finest.

Porsche the brand is changing, switching it up and certainly for the better.  The 2010 Porsche Panamera is just the beginning of that beautiful change!

Although Volvo has not officially released a press release to go with the 2010 Volvo C70 – I have to say that this beautiful car has gotten quite a face lift since we last saw it.  This little beauty is set to debut at the up and coming Frankfurt Motor Show and it is actually a reskinned convertible hard-top that I swear … every single Volvo lover is going to fall in love with!

The concept for this particular car was released in Detroit earlier this year and now they have actually built it – and it is a brand new look for Volvo!  This fresh and cleaner look includes swept-back headlights and a larger trademark iron-mask and not a bit of the boxy shape that Volvo is known for.

While the exterior has definitely taken a new shape, the interior has changed even more!  While right now – we do not know what is under the hood of the 2010 Volvo C70 … stay tuned, we might find out in the next few weeks!

Yep, we are indeed featuring another Ford, this time from 1963 — it is the 1963 Ford Galaxie, to be exact.

When you take the time to fix up a car like this, you really have a work of art and a true dream car.

A ride in this car will take you to dream car heaven as well, in addition to evoking a time which was more exciting and fun not in spite of its innocence, but rather because of it.

A car like this makes you hear Beach Boys songs in your head, no matter your proximity to the California sun and its warm, sandy beaches.

You will feel on the top of the world when you are behind the wheel, which is no doubt why the 1963 Ford Galaxie remains a dream car for so many people.

Ah, 1932. It would be safe to say that, back then, most people were Ford fans. Well, you know, they kind of had to be — but heck, seeing the Fords they had back then today, I am a fan by choice.

For many, this 1932 Ford Coupe is the one and only dream car. It is certainly evocative of bygone times. One could almost imagine rumbling off to rob a bank or some exciting thing — goodness knows there was a lot of exciting trouble you could get into back in the 1930s.

Of course, these days, a little innovations and changes might be in order, at least on the inside. You could do like one Coupe owner and get the car up to today’s hot rodding standards, with a Corvette transmission and a GM drive train.

Now that we have touched base on my dream car – let’s talk about the brand new Alfa Romeo 8C GTA.  This is a car that is Brit’s favorite and with good reason!  This car is so exotic looking, so chic and so sleek that I have to say … it is one car that I fell in love with just by looking at it.  Below, we are going to go through some of the specs of the Alfa Romeo 8C GTA so you know exactly what you are getting when you purchase this particular car!

One of the first things you will notice is that this car is a light one – thanks to all of the exotic weave that is running through it, this car will be over three hundred pounds lighter than the normal cars of its class.  It will also have a 4.7-liter F430 derived V8 that should produce about 500 more HP. 

All of that power behind a sleek looking car is absolutely incredible!  The Alfa Romeo 8C GTA is one car that I am sure is on everyone’s wish list this year!

When I think of my dream car – this is it.  The Hennessey Venom GT is exactly what it looks like.  While I did not think that I could envision a car as cool as the Hennessey Venom GT, I did and it is dubbed as my dream car.  The Hennessey Venom GT is the car that everyone wants and probably no one will be able to afford – while it is not officially out or even around yet, this car is supposed to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 2010. 

Since the initial press release though, there have been some spec changes on the Hennessey Venom GT.  They have dropped the weight down from 2,700 to 2,400 and the engine is now a Hennessey V8 rather than just a twin-turbo, as previous discussed. 

Want to know the top speed for the Hennessey Venom GT?  Oh, it is topping out at about 272mph, which is amazing!

You have got to love a Porsche, especially the 911 model — but if I may be so bold, I have to say that nothing represents my dream car more than the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo. It is already being touted as one of the best 911 models, all the way around the block.

It has improved efficiency as well as improved performance, with displacement going up to 3.8 liters, a .2 increase. This also makes the output go up to five hundred horsepower, yet the car’s weight sees a decrease, which makes it much more fuel efficient.

The good news is that it loses none of its power. As a matter of fact, if you find yourself on the track, you can get the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo up to speeds of 195mph, its top speed.

Better still? Its price range is not quite what you would expect with a car like this, as it falls into the lower one hundred thousand range.
