VW Caddy Topos Sail Concept Features A Wooden Deck Up Top


I enjoy a slick looking concept car as much as the next guy, even though most concept vehicles are nothing but over-designed eye candy that I really couldn’t see myself driving. But leave it to Volkswagen to come up with a concept that’s more utilitarian than easy on the eyes. Unveiled at the recreational and commercial vehicle show in Düsseldorf, Germany, the VW Caddy Topos Sail concept features an actual wooden boat deck built in to the roof. The Topos Sail is based on the smallest model in the VW commercial van fleet, and besides the real wooden decking it also features aluminum safety rails running along the sides of the roof, flip-up panels that serve as back rests and a matching wood and aluminum ladder built in to the tailgate. Perfect for those days when the local beach or park is too crowded to find a place to have a picnic or just lounge about.

Chromed Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 for Sale

This is the LP640, Lamborghini Murcielago pimped by the German tuner Hamann. It was put on sale by the London based luxury car dealer ‘Mayfair Prestige’. It is cheaper than the Reventon or Veyron, so don’t worry, it is priced at only $625,200. Check out more pictures of this chromy car after the break.























Florian Jennett Cardboard Corolla


Awesome, nice work! If you can afford a sports car, this is what you can do, get some Fedex or DHL box and start making your own body kit.

“Back in the mid-90s, Florian Jenett wanted to go Can-Am racing. Never one to
let obstacles dismay him, he ignored people that told him, “You can’t afford to
go racing on a German artist’s salary” or “Can-Am racing died in 1974.”


The above Corolla E10 was complete with homemade K&N filter conversion (necessitating a hood bulge) and sans catalytic converter and it’s capable of reaching over 100mph - at which speed its handling became unpredictable. More pictures after the break.
