    What happens when you take one our favorite cars, The Lotus Elise and try to make it even more awesome? You get the Hennessey Venom GT. With a production of only 10 per year, this is not only ultra limited, but with it’s Corvette ZR1 supercharged 6.2 LS9 V8 cranking out 725hp or it’s twin-turbo versions putting out up to 1200hp it ultra cool. No price yet announced, but after all the work that went into this project, you can bet it’ll be a pretty penny. Check out more images after the jump, and a video in our forums. NC

    While this may have been designed for bikers who wanted to keep their maps handy, it also useful for adventurers and thrill seekers who want to keep their hands free. Included in this kit is a microphone and the waterproof, hands free, wrist mounted  case.

    This is really cool, and makes us feel like some sort of elite commando, but it lacks style and we’d prefer it in a hard case. However this is still a great price compared to other options, and it’s a great product that really does the job.

    $40+. 7.5 out of 10. Very Cool. NC
