We've had Darth Vader's "pencil case" building in Wellington, and Apple released Darth Vader's spitoon (the new cylindrical Mac Pro), and now in yesterday's Driven section of the weekend Herald there's Darth Vader's car ...
For those interested, there is a Flash video and more images of the car at TechGlimpse.com.
Lord Vader, your car has arrived. New Canadian sports car maker Felino has unveiled the prototype version of its CB7 supercar ahead of its official Geneva debut. It looks like a cross between an Audi R8, Shelby Daytona, Morgan Aeromax, and Darth Vader. A carbon-fibre body wraps around a wheelbase of 2451mm, roughly the same as a Lotus Elise. A range of engines, including a four and six pot, will be on offer. The flagship V8 is expected to send 391kW and 610Nm of torque to the rear wheels. No perfmornace figures have been released, but a weight of 1135kg means the CB7 could ba a "force" to be reckoned with. Check it out on YouTube fanging around the Gilles Villeneuve circuit.
