The motorcyle was fitted with a 15 hp motor, the kind used in electric motorcycle racing, and a steam boiler made from a fire extinguisher tank. The boiler isn’t connected to the wheels however, and it’s only used for visual steam effects. Says Sepe: “But on the other hand, if I crank it up really high, then you get flames shooting out the back of the bike. Which is cool.”

Having a great computer seems to not be enough nowadays. As with cars, you have to have it tuned. It is called modding, but it is almost similar: lights, bodykits (cases) and so on. Well, someone thought of combining the two and made the Porsche Nvidia SLI Mod. See more after the jump.

Featuring an 18″ disc from Porsche Cayenne as a shell and an attached acrylic disc brake strip-sponsor nVidia, the SLI-Machine wheel PC comes with silencer turned liquid cooling iron and decorative chrome entourage. The design may look weird to some, but after considering the unconventional ‘PC mod,’ you’ll surely give a second thought before disposing off your ragged vehicle wheels.

Bang & Olufsen Chief Executive Officer, Torben Ballegard Sørensen also believes the two companies have much in common, and not just in terms of esteem and ambition. “There are deep similarities between our cultures and heritage. Bang & Olufsen’s values are rooted on passion and performance as well as design and craftsmanship. These are exactly the same values that you experience in an Aston Martin,” he says.

So, what can we expect from this combination? A great car with a kick-a$$ sound system or a great sound system with a kick-a$$ car attached to it? Well, time will tell, but something is sure: a few of us only will enjoy them both.

The Indy-Cator is a dream come true. It not only looks cool (well, don’t put it in your dad’s car, he might not think the same), but it really helps.

What’s even more important, the Indy-Cator can be used with any manual transmission up to 6 gears, for any brand of car. There are some small issues (like you cannot use it for gear levers with reverse gear locking mechanism), but it makes no difference to me.

More, “a light sensor in the INDY-CATOR adapts the brightness of the digital display to the surrounding light by means of an automatic dimming function, ensuring optimum readability at all times“. So much mambo-jambo. In short: the light will be as powerful as you need it, without creating any difficulties for you while driving.

Is it easy to install? Apparently so, since you have a full pdf manual explaining how to do it. So, go and buy it. You can find it here.
