Here’s one for all you camel jockeys. And we’re being serious. Roush Technologies has just completed the custom and highly complex mobile racing trainer for Turkish-based racehorse and camel training equipment manufacturer Kurt Systems. The racing trainer car moves with the animal at speeds of up to 37 mph, while computerized reigns steer the animal in the direction of the vehicle. An on-board computer system measures heart, blood, oxygen, and other fitness metrics. The vehicle also carries a range of hydraulically-controlled accessories to simulate jockey weights. And a “luxurious” cockpit on the racing trainer car contains seats for the driver, trainer, and veterinary specialist. Whether you’re looking to speed up your horse or camel, Roush’s racing trainer looks poised to do the trick. Unfortunately, since it’s a bespoke production, you’ll have to pony up some serious cash to acquire one of your own.
We get a kick out of covering new and interesting concept vehicles, and Istanbul designer Özkan Koral’s hydrogen-powered Ozone car is so far the most wild concept we’ve come across. Entered in a Peugot design contest, the cylindrical car sits on two enormous wheels, each controlled by their own electric motors. A joystick gives the driver control, and a large door on the car’s body slides under the vehicle to enable easy access in and out. The design is clean, with the matte black finish on the cover provides a nice touch. Follow the jump for two more images.
Wish your quad had the look and power of your motocross bike? E.-ATV Racing is a company that specializes in converting bikes to quads while retaining all of the power and much of the original bodywork. Pictured above you’ll see a quad bike constructed from a KTM 990 Adventure, complete with the bike’s LC8 engine. E.-ATV racing also builds quads out of 690 and 990 Supermotos and the 990 Super Duke.
Earlier this month we brought you LA Custom Coach’s F-650 limo to give you a look into one of the hottest stretches on the streets. To keep the inspiration going, we’ve posted the video above to give you a peek into another ridiculous custom coach: A Royal Luxury’s 2008 Audi Q7 limo, available for rent through the New York based company.
Is it the ultimate combination? Or a complete abomination? The flashy Lamborghini Gallardo trailering a custom (and most likely unauthorized) Lamborghini chopper were recently spotted in Miami Beach. From the pictures, we can see that the Lamborghini chopper is wearing the Lamborghini badge, and the black leather seat is embossed with the Lambo seal. We’re a fan of the effort, with the exception of the trailer hitch. What do you think?
