Karl Lagerfeld was spotted this past week at the Chanel boutique on Rue Royale in Paris, shooting the press kit for Chanel’s pre-spring collection entitled Starting Point. The shoot was not only intriguing because of models Lara Stone and Baptiste Giacobini, but also because of the appearance of a custom designed Chanel motorcycle, customized for the famed fashion house in Toulouse, France.

Iranian designer Emil Baddal’s portfolio contains concepts that span several exotic auto marques. He dubs this model the Prachtige Lamborghini. The Prachtige takes styling cues from both the LP560 and Reventon, including the louvered engine cover, pointed nose, and center-exit exhaust. Baddal’s concept pushes signature Lamborghini styling even further than the limited run Reventon, with wildly flared front and rear openings paired with huge wheels and LED lighting.

When the words ‘Porsche’ and ‘motorcycle’ are mentioned in the same sentence, it’s usually in connection with Harley-Davidson: first the abortive Nova project of the 80s, then the VR1000 racer in the 90s, and finally the Revolution engine that appeared in the V-Rod in 2001. But Porsche first dipped a toe into motorcycle design in the late 70s, releasing this little-known Motorcycle Study. Somewhat surprisingly, the makers of the 4.5L V8-engined 928 wanted to highlight the motorcycle’s superiority in energy use, air pollution and traffic space. “Comfort, safety and protection from mud and water were prime considerations, not the usual fascination with speed.”

For the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009, Teriyaki Boyz member and designer Verbal got to work on the new Toyota iQ. The entire exterior got a chrome look and the interior comes in clean white leather, matching the wheels. The concept was inspired by artist Jeff Koons.

Talk about a sexy car, this one is borderline amazing. The sleek styling is one thing we expect from Inifiniti but they shattered the figurative glass ceiling with their, well, glass ceiling. This concept car boasts 592 hp and is a gasoline/electric hybrid car.

First shown at The Detroit motor show in 2004, the Concept T was designed in Volkswagen’s California design studio and is a crossover vehicle mixing elements of sports car, beach buggy and off-roader. Part of a long line of sporty off-road show cars, the Concept T distinguishes itself through stylish detailing and an avant-garde interior.

The body is a mix of sensuous, muscular surfacing and technical componentry, matching a strong rear fender and coupe-like volume with innovative, some might say quirky, features (the stainless steel tailpipes are located inboard of the rear lights, to improve the ramp angle at the back of the car for when you are hitting the big dunes). This latter feature also neatly echoes the tail lights of the mark five Volkswagen Golf, keeping the whole thing in the family, even if it is a lot wilder than its production stablemate, the Touareg

You have to give it up, this is one of the best concept car we’ve put up on the blog, especially since it almost looks road ready.  This is some real “Tron-ish” s@%t right here!
