Swedish automaker Spyker is known for designing cars with exotic, sexy lines and an aggressive stance, but you don't have to be a car buff with a few hundred thousand dollars to blow in order ride in style... if you don't mind breaking a sweat, that is.

Spyker has teamed up with Koga, a company known for its distinctive bicycles, to produce the Aeroblade. The bicycle sports many of the same materials used to produce the ultra-luxury vehicles that serve as the model's namesake --titanium for the frame, aluminum for the front fork and wheels, aluminum-covered carbon composite for the mudgaurds, and Hulshof luxury leather for the handle bar grips and saddle. Even the colors are inspired by those adorning the automaker's endurance race car.

Exclusivity comes at a price of $12,540 with only 50 units produced.

Ferrari is the epitome of the exotic car. It's best known for its high-performing, exotic-looking, ass-kicking supercars -- descriptions Acer is hoping will carry over along with the brand name adorning its new notebooks. The leading notebook producer for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and sponsor of racing team Scuderia Ferrari have introduced the new Ferrari 5000 and Ferrari 1000 series, two notebooks incorporating the technology usually only found in the world of Formula One racing. A carbon fiber casing encloses an AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile processor and comes with several options, including a web cam, HD-DVD drive, Acer VoIP Bluetooth phone connectivity, and more. And, most importantly, the laptops are available in black and "Ferrari red."
