What do you add to the fastest, sexiest Audi ever made? Open air. The Audi R8 Spyder ($TBA) is a new drop-top version of Audi's signature Supercar, featuring a 5.2 V10 engine pumping out 525 hp, twin oval tail pipes, a brushed aluminum frame for the windshield, a retractable soft-top, all-wheel drive, and all the LED lighting a geek could ask for.
SaveFor as long as we can remember, we've wanted a vintage Mercedes Benz 300SL parked in the Uncrate garage, so when we see its iconic gullwing doors appear on a new MB model, we just have to tell you about it. Luckily, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG ($TBA) isn't any old Benz. Packing a front/mid-mounted 6.3-liter AMG V8 good for 563 hp, a 0-60 time of just 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 197 mph, this new coupe is an absolute rocket, and boasts stunning, retro-styled looks that are sure to turn heads — just in time to see you fly past.

SaveSpace age materials and technology meet mid-century design in the Rizk Auto RA ($180,000). Based loosely on the 1957 Aston Martin DBR2, the RA sports a striking, classic body made from aircraft-spec carbon composites, a full carbon chassis, adapted Aeron chairs for seats, height adjustable steering, reach adjustable Tilton pedals, a choice of 6- or 12-cylinder Jaguar E-Type engines or a LS3 Corvette V8, and NASA Aerogel Insulation — the same stuff used in the Mars Rover Program. So while you might not be able to visit the red planet, your car could.
SaveBased on the Shelby Daytona Coupe — the only American car ever to win the FIA GT World Championship — the Shelby Daytona Coupe Le Mans Edition ($TBA) is a modern day take on the classic racer. It features upgrades such as wider 18-inch wheels and tires, front and rear fender flares, a functional billet aluminum top, Alcantera suede seats, a suede Momo steering wheel, and more. In addition, this throwback beauty is powered by the customer's choice of motors based on the Ford 351 Windsor block, including a Roush 402R V8 good for 530 hp and 515 lb-ft of torque, or more than enough power to live up to its mighty heritage.

With gull-wing doors that recall the classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL and a beefy V8 engine, the AC Cobra MkVI ($TBA) is a fine new ride. It features a retro design, a 6.2L Corvette engine good for between 437 and 647hp, Porsche brakes, a removable hardtop, racing suspension, and, with a curb weight of just 2,260 lbs, a 0-60 time in the three second range. It's like a classic hot rod with all-new internals.

Built for speed, the Nissan Nismo 370Z ($TBA) is a turnkey tuner's dream. This faster, sportier version of the Z features a 350hp 3.7-liter V6, a unique racing-inspired body kit, ultra-lightweight 19-inch Rays forged alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport rubber, 14-inch front and 13.8-inch rear Nismo sport brakes, a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with Nissan's new SynchroRev Match functionality that automatically controls and adjusts engine speed when shifting, HID xenon headlights, Nissan Intelligent Key push-button start, and more.

Ten years in the making, the Factory Five Type 65 Coupe ($15,000 - $22,000) is known as the most accurate replica of the original 1965 Word Championship Coupes. The Type 65 stays true to its original vintage lines and traditional features (like a wooden steering wheel), while adding modern refinements, reaping the benefits of modern technology and engineering. The Base kit lets you use parts from an old Ford Mustang to build your Type 65. If that sounds too hard, go whole-hog and get the Complete kit which contains everything you'll need to assemble your coupe except for the engine and transmission.

Like a brand-new PC crammed inside an old TRS-80 body, the Obsidian SG-One Mustang ($1.3 million) is a great mix of old and new. This re-made 1967 Mustang fastback boasts a custom Obsidian 392 cubic-inch engine, producing more than 847 hp, a 0-60 time of under 3 seconds, and a projected top speed of over 210mph, as well as twin superchargers, a NASCAR-style belly plate, and custom 18-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels. Inside, there's a 3,000 watt Kicker stereo system with Dolby 5.1 surround sound, DVD navigation, MP3, iPod, XM Radio, 60GB hard drive, and Bluetooth, a touch screen LCD, integrated Wi-Fi, and more.

Bentley marks its arrival on the eco-friendly scene in a big way with the Bentley Continental Supersport ($TBA).

Other features include a 6-speed Quickshift ZF transmission, 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels, an advanced ESP system, and more. [via]

SaveCelebrating the October, 1969 launch of the Datsun 240Z, the new Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition ($TBA; Spring 2010) thankfully moves beyond the quaint 150hp 2.4-liter engine of the original for Nissan's latest and greatest tech. Features include a 332 hp V6 — sadly, not enhanced with turbo for this edition — 19-inch, "smoke" Rays wheels, a special 40th Quartz paint job, red brake calipers, red leather interior, red stitching, and the requisite 40th anniversary badges and commemorative plaque.
SaveFrom the makers of Baconnaise and Bacon Salt comes a bacon-flavored product that you don't even have to eat. J&D's Bacon Lip Balm ($13/4-pack) will protect your lips with beeswax, aloe vera oil, Vitamin E acetate, and other ingredients, all while offering a subtle bacon flavor both you and your partner can enjoy.
SaveMost of us don't have the engineering, design, or architectural chops to recreate any of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterworks, but we can anyway, thanks to these new Frank Lloyd Wright Lego Architecture Building Sets ($TBA). Licensed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection, these terrific sets — of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater — were developed in collaboration with leading architects to be as accurate as possible, and come with booklets that not only tell you how to build you own model masterpiece, but exclusive archival historical material and photographs of each building, as well. [Thanks, Kris]
SaveEver wish you could combine your dual-monitor setup into one behemoth display? Get ready, because your wish has come true in the NEC CRV43 Curved Widescreen Display ($8,000). Boasting a unique curved design that's sure to immerse you more than a standard two display setup, this beauty also features a 2880x900 double WXGA resolution, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, single link DVI-D and HDMI inputs, USB 2.0 ports, an on screen display, and the assurance that you have the most unique monitor in the neighborhood.

SaveEver wish you could take a Jägermeister shot machine with you camping, tailgating, and partying? Now you can, with the Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler ($120). Available as a six-bottle value pack, the cooler has plenty of room for all six bottles, ice, and the requisite cans of Red Bull, and uses the same tech as the Jägermeister Tap Machine to deliver ice-cold shots straight from the external tap.
SaveShow your fang affiliation by stocking your fridge with Tru Blood ($16). Based on the synthetic blood drink favored by the more civilized vampires of HBO's True Blood, this carbonated real-world version packs a slightly sweet, slightly tart blood orange flavor and a rich red color that will have guests wondering if you're drinking the real thing.
SaveFlapjack lovers, rejoice. Now you can make fresh, 97% fat-free pancakes in as little as 30 seconds using the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Machine ($3,500). This microwave-sized wonder uses no-mess batter pouches to crank out stack after stack of four- inch diameter pancakes, and doesn't even require supervision, letting you cook up breakfast for you and your crew while you get your other morning activities out of the way — like taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or downing a half-dozen mimosas.
SaveWe love bacon, and we've seen everything from Canned Bacon to Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Floss — hell, even Bacon Lip Balm — so it was only a matter of time before we discovered Bacon Soap ($6). Made to both look and smell like frying bacon, this soap will get you clean while giving your appetite a jump-start on the day.
SaveOne of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend.
SaveTempted by the MINI's go-cart handling, but not a fan of its boxy exterior? The MINI Coupé Concept ($TBA) is for you. Ready to accept any of MINI's powerhouse engines, including the 1.6L twin-scroll turbocharged unit from the MINI John Cooper Works, this stylish two-seater pairs a decidedly MINI-like bottom with an aggressively designed upper half, including a swept back windshield, short contrast roof, hidden B-pillars, and more sexy than every other modern MINI combined.
SaveLeave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
SaveTackle the great outdoors -- or just yard work -- in the coldest of weather in the Timberland Utility Jacket ($150). With straightforward looks, it's not exactly a flashy piece of outerwear, but it does the job, with a rugged cotton twill outer, nylon polin and polyester fleece lining, a front zipper with button flap cover for added wind protection, dual snap-close side pockets and two cargo-style chest pockets, slightly distressed details for a worn-in look, and stitched down shoulder epaulettes.
SaveKnown primarily for its sporty pro outerwear, the new line of Arc'teryx Veilance ($175-$1,000) tops, coats, and pants combines tough, outdoor-ready fabrics like Gore-Tex and Paclite with more traditional cuts and syling, letting you dress your best no matter what the weather's like outside. And no, we don't know how you're supposed to say "Arc'teryx."
SaveThink you've seen or read all the great books and films there are to digest? Think again. City Secrets Books & Movies ($14 each) are your guide to gems of cinema and literature that are mostly overlooked, compiled from recommendations given by some of the world's most well-respected minds on either subject, including Alec Wilkinson, Kenneth Turan, Marty Scorsese, and Sidney Lumet. Good luck finding copies of — and time to watch and read — all of them.

Looking for a way to monitor your energy usage and cut down on power bills during the economic crunch? Check out the Black & Decker Power Monitor ($100). This easy-to-use device provides real-time electricity use, cost, and outdoor temperature readings, thanks to a wireless sensor that attaches to your electricity meter. Offering an Appliance Mode that isolates the cost of individual appliances or gadgets, it could save you up to 20% each month on your power bill — meaning it should pay for itself in no time.
SaveForget simulated wood grain — Shwood Sunglasses ($95) are handcrafted from actual wood. They're available in two basic styles, the Wayfarer-like Canby and the more squarish Govy, and can be ordered in a variety of different woods, all with your choice of Carl Zeiss lenses. Just remember: these probably aren't the best shades to wear to the beach, water park, or campfire — we're guessing they're at least a little flammable.
SaveWho needs buttons? Apple's Magic Mouse ($69) eschews mechanical buttons and scroll wheels, letting you navigate using the same Multi-Touch technology used on the iPhone and MacBook trackpads. The sexy, seamless, touch-sensitive device works as a single or multi-button mouse with advanced gesture support, allowing you to scroll, pan, or swipe with ninja-finger skill. Works for you freakish lefties too.
SaveWhat would you pay to be Don Draper or Roger Sterling? How about to look like them? The Brooks Brothers Mad Men Edition Suit ($1,000; October 19) pays homage to AMC's hit show with a medium gray sharkskin suit designed by Janie Bryant, the Emmy-nominated costume designer for the show, and is modeled after Draper's and Sterling's wardrobes. Features include a noticeably slim cut, diagonal pockets, narrower notch lapels, and side vents. Limited to just 250, the suit is made in a Brooks-owned factory in Massachusetts, and while it might be more classically stylish than your current attire, don't expect it to magically turn you into Jon Hamm.
SaveJust in time for undeadliest of holidays comes The Horde T-Shirt ($18). This black American Apparel tee sports a terrific print of a single character wielding multiple weapons on the roof of a car as a horde (get it?) of zombies surround him. While it won't pass as a costume per se, it's certainly festive, and if you happen to harbor a secret zombie obsession, you'll no doubt find yourself wearing it all year long.
