Mercedes-Benz has decided to create a “water version” of one of its cars. Based on the C63 AMG Black Series, US buyers can see and buy this Black Series 50′ Marauder Cigarette boat starting April this year.

You will not be disappointed with the design of the boat though as it has more than 100 billet aluminum accents lining up its seat support, dash, grab handles and sound system.

smart is undoubtedly a nice car. Despite of its size, it is powerful enough to travel long miles and safe enough, just in case you get into a wreck. But because it’s small, some people does not think of it as a useful car, for some it is just a vehicle you can brag about.

The Swiss company, Rinspeed, changes all that. In line with their outlandish concept vehicles, they have unveiled Dock+Go. This design is for the smart fortwo ED, where a “backpack” is added, which calls for additional pair of wheels. With it, the car can be a utility vehicle, which you can use to deliver pizzas or carry your groceries.

The Dock+Go’s interiors also has aesthetic value, a 12.1 inch in dash monitor, a Harman infotainment system, smartphone cradle and gesture control.

It is not available in the market yet, but the company is negotiating with a manufacturer now to have it made. Does this new car looks good for you? Would you consider buying it?
