Auto: Brabus 800 E V12 Cabriolet

Ridiculousness on wheels. That is what you see above. Yet, who among us can look away? If you think the looks of this Brabus 800 E V12 Cabriolet are crazy, wait until you comprehend what lurks beneath the hood...a 788hp V-12 that propels this evilly modified E-Class Cabriolet from 0-60mph in just 3.7 seconds, on its way to a 230mph top speed....with the top down. So just mortgage your house (or for most people, a few houses), slap down $670,000, and its yours. Click HERE for more information. 

Auto: BMW M3 Frozen Black Edition

Following in the footsteps of Aston Martin and Lamborghini, BMW has released a matte black version of the epic M3, named the M3 Frozen Black Edition. Performance specs are about the same as a stock M3, but the Frozen Black Edition features black 19" rims, and a matte black paint job. Also, the Frozen Black is a limited edition run of only 20.

Auto: Mini Cooper Coupe

Getting back to its roots of being, well, mini, Mini Cooper is set to release the Mini Cooper Coupe in 2012. As the company's first two-seater ever, the roof line has been slightly shortened and curved. There will be a base model, a Cooper S model, and a John Cooper Works model with varying options.

Auto: Eagle E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most iconic cars ever made. The problem with finding one now is that (a) they're expensive and (b) they break down about every 30 feet. Eagle E-Types solve those problems. The Eagle E-Type bodies are custom made from aluminum, and the E-Types include modern amenities and 4.7 liter engines that make the Eagles dependable, convenient, and luxurious.

Auto: Brammo Empulse Electric Motorcycle

We're all feeling the crunch of rising fuel prices (especially those of us who just bought a tahoe..). So if you're looking for a simpler, more fuel-efficient way to get around, but the Harley just isn't for you, then check out the Brammo Empulse. The fully electric, water-cooled Empulse is capable of exceeding speeds of 100mph and has a range of 100 miles on one charge. All you do is plug it in at night and you're good to go the next morning!

Auto: Scion FR-S Concept

We've been seeing reports of the Scion FR-S Concept everywhere, so we decided we'd bring you a few pics. Toyota's new attempt at the Mustang/Camaro/350Z market, the Scion FR-S is definitely not lacking in looks, and Toyota has a good history with sports cars. Unfortunately, what you see is what you get as far as details go. We'll keep you updated!

Auto: 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8

Those of us familiar with the ups and downs of the American Automotive Industry know that Chrysler has always fallen a little bit short of the other two; something about them always left something to be desired, even though they arguably have a better-looking lineup than GM and Ford. However, Chrysler's SRT line has always been the creme-de-la-creme of American Muscle, and the creme just gets sweeter in 2012. Above is the new Chrysler 300 SRT8. Horsepower goes from 425 to 465, and subtle yet noticeable design changes make this a worthy saloon (even though Cadilac may have the most worthy saloon ever). You have to admit, the front of that car looks great, and they're taking design cues from the right source. Click HERE for more info. 

Auto: Aston Martin DBS Superior Black by Anderson Germany

When it comes to the best looking car in the world, it's hard not to give that title to the Aston Martin DBS. If the Aston Martin DBS Superior Black by Anderson Germany is thrown into the mix, then its impossible not to give it the title. From the matte-black paint to the giant black rims to the red brake calipers to the red and black leather-stitched interior to the custom exhaust, the DBS Superior Black is beautiful inside and out.

Auto: Cadillac CTS-V vs. BMW M3

On a recent trip, a friend and I discussed what would be the best sports sedan to buy (after we finish law school and med school, of course). He contends that it is still the BMW M3, the presiding king of Sports Sedans. However, I, being a past M3 owner, posited that the torch has been past to the Cadillac CTS-V (my opinion is evidenced HERE). So, readers, what do you think? Which one is better looking? Which one performs better? We'd love to hear your thoughts! Also check out the specs for each car below, and a head-to-head video from edmunds at the bottom.

Auto/Watches: Harley Davidson + Bell & Ross Custom Motorcycle

We've reviewed Bell & Ross watches on GentDaily before, and the allure of Harley-Davidson motorcycles is easily evident, but never have their talents manifested into one single item...until now. The famed watchmaker and timeless motorcycle manufacturer came together to form a special-edition cafe racer that features a bell & ross watch installed into the gas tank. Check out the pics below for more details!
