Acura hit a homerun, or should I say touchdown, with the new NSX luxury car concept (following a lengthy lull in production, might I add). The brand nailed it once again with their first-ever Super Bowl ad featuring celebrity car collectors Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, see full commercial below!

Now that you are amused, please share your opinions below or on Imagine Lifestyles Facebook!

A forward-thinking Ferrari aficionado has gone a bit green, not with a paint job, but with an E85-fueled Ferrari FF hatchback. The Ferrari FF was reportedly converted by a Norwegian aftermarket developer and boosts the usual 650 prancing horses up to an impressive 875! No word on if Ferrari approves of this mad science, or if the FF will now stand for ‘Flex Fuel’. End sarcasm.

Mercedes is rolling out the next generation of its Mbrace in-vehicle communications system (cloud-based services), Mbrace2, set to ship out in the new SL Class cars in March.

Mbrace2 will incorporate social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Yelp and Google to enhance the overall driving experience…and to compete with the expanding technology in automobiles! Unlike Ford’s amazing MyTouch, however, Mbrace2 will not feature a touch screen. So…if someone were to hijack your Mercedes or Mercedes rental, could they hijack your Facebook account? This could be huge!

From afar, one could mistake the lively red exotic sports coupe for a fancy Ferrari, but upon closer inspection, the delicious form of the new Lexus LF-LC hybrid manifests. Perhaps even more attractive than the Lexus LFA supercar, the LF-LC is nothing short of splendid!

Hello, gorgeous!

The good people at Lamborghini are perhaps a bit on the modest side for being creators of world-class hypercars! When the new Lamborghini Aventador was officially unveiled, the company claimed the top speed was 217 miles per hour, though the car recently outdid itself during a scorching lap at Hockenheim, hitting an astonishing 230 mph! Video at bottom of post

So what is the actual top speed for this model? We can’t wait to take our Lamborghini Aventador rental to the track and find out! The Aventador will be available soon from Imagine Lifestyles.

The downward spiral of Charlie Sheen has led to many changes, including the cast of hit series “Two and a Half Men”. It seems that the producers are eager to alter the image of the show, replacing bad-boy Sheen with a milder and eccentric Walden Schmidt, played by actor and comedian Ashton Kutcher. Schmidt is a do-good type, who even drives a luxury hybrid car in the first episode, the Fisker Karma.

Ashton fits in nicely with the cast, perhaps even better than Sheen

The auto aficionados at Top Gear have awarded this year’s ‘Luxury Car of the Year’ slot to the Fisker Karma, a choice that earns environmental karma! With absolutely everything going for this car it is no wonder Leonardo DiCaprio’s Fisker Karma created such a sensation.

One of our favorite luxury auto brands, BMW, is poised to create a jolt at this year’s Miami Art Basel with the BMW i luxury hybrid car! BMW is to support the 10th annual eclectic event, perhaps the most prestigious annual event to hit our shoreline from December 1st-4th, 2011. So how exactly does the brand intend to up the ante this year?

According to BMW’s Head of Brand Management, Dr. Uwe Ellinghaus,

You could pass the Rolls Royce Phantom Experimental Electric on the road and not notice that it is…well…electric! This is not likely, however, seeing as how it is a one-off that is far from the finish line. First introduced at the Geneva Auto Show back in March, the electric Phantom certainly made an impression with regard to luxury hybrid technology.

Somewhere around the globe, a plastic manufacturer is bursting with the elation of a huge new account. Our neighbors to the north have just unveiled their new $100 bill, and it is certainly an innovation—the first plastic bills to replace paper! How is that supposed to fold neatly into a wallet or a stripper’s ensemble?

I just can't imagine how this will work. Do they fold at all? Could 50 Cent's Lamborghini trunk hold $2 million in plastic notes (Follow link to see him fill trunk with $2 million paper currency!)? This is all just sarcasm, the new polymer notes are thin enough, I am not sure about their bending or folding capacity, however.

The Lamborghini Aventador has just hit the scene and has already been raking in the accolades! Recently, the Aventador was named Best Supercar at the Middle East Motor Awards, quite a prestigious honor and a large market! So what else has this model won already?

And the 5 Diamond Engineering Award goes to....the Aventador!
