The vehicle allows users to have freedom of use much like a motorcycle but with the convenience of having an enclosed private space and luggage compartments.

* World's most expensive and exotic cars
For all of those new lottery winners out there (and those of us who dream of being in that position themselves), here's a shopping guide to the world's 10 most expensive production and exotic cars. Prices given are best estimates. On all but the Rolls and the Bentley you'll have to pay additional import and luxury taxes.
Bentley Mulsanne -More than $700,000
Bentley's current range-topper in Australia is the two-door Azure convertible, which costs about $750,000. You get a 6.8-litre V8 engine and all the luxury trimmings.
What discussion of fantasy wheels would be complete without reference to a Rolls Royce? The lidless Phantom uses a V12 engine measuring 6.8 litres. It needs the power such a massive engine can generate because it weighs about 2.6 tonnes.
If you thought a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster at almost $870,000 was a dollar sign too far, then you aren't going to like the Reventon Roadster.
Trust those crazy Swedes to come up with something that's fast and green.
Back in the 1920 and '30s, the Landaulet body style was popular with the rich set. You basically took a car and chopped off the rear section of the roof. That way, James the chauffer got a roof over his head while the duchess in the back could choose either roof up or roof down.
No Aston Martin is what you'd call cheap but the One-77 takes the idea of conspicuous consumption to the next level. It's widely regarded as the world's most expensive production car, a title it stole from the Bugatti Veyron (see below) by upping the ante in terms of driving technology.
We're still not sure this is fair dinkum but a Russian company named Dartz has announced plans to launch a super-luxury, armoured SUV aimed at, er, colourful racing identities the world over.
It's difficult to imagine that a company that started out building kits to turn your Pontiac Fiero (a horrid little pseudo sports car) into a Ferrari replica could also come up with the Ultimate Aero. But that's what happened when US-based SSC (Shelby Supercars Company) got serious a couple of years ago.
Pagani is a niche Italian sports-car manufacturer, so you'd think its Zonda production car would be exclusive enough.

Located in the central Iranian city of Isfahan, Khaju Bridge is a two-level brick-and-stone pedestrian bridge that has been a meeting point for locals for more than 350 years. The 435-foot-long, low-lying Khaju is highlighted by 23 Islamic arches. (Michele Falzone/JAI/Corbis)
Drive this graceful five-and-a-half-mile stretch of concrete bridges in Norway, and you'll quickly see why the Atlantic Road was voted the country's Construction of the Century. Connecting small islands, the eight successive bridges twist and swell in mind-boggling fashion. (Courtesy Seansie/Flickr)
Henderson Waves is Singapore's tallest pedestrian bridge at 12 stories high. It snakes across Henderson Road, connecting Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park. (Courtesy Urban Redevelopment Authority)
Singapore's Henderson Waves is 900 feet of undulating steel and wood, with seven crests in all. The bridge won the prestigious President's Design Award in 2009. (Courtesy Urban Redevelopment Authority)
Navajo Bridge is a spandrel arch bridge in Arizona's Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, 467 feet above Marble Canyon and the Colorado River. Traffic became too much for the original, so a new, nearly identical bridge was opened in 1995, and the older bridge became pedestrian-only. (Mark Karrass/Corbis)
The 18th-century Iron Bridge in the West Midlands region of central England was the first arched bridge to be built of cast iron. The designer, Thomas Farnolls Pritchard, had no precedent to go on, so he based the design on carpentry techniques. (Courtesy Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust)
The 16th-century "Old Bridge," or Stari Most, in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was rebuilt in 2004 from its own rubble. Do like the locals have been doing for centuries and take a 66-foot dive from its central arch into the Neretva River below. (Danilo Krstanovic/Reuters/Corbis)
Without the Opera House in the background, Sydney's Harbour Bridge isn't as recognizable. But the steel-arch bridge is the tallest of its kind, at 440 feet. (Courtesy Nick Rains/Tourism Australia)
Called "the coathanger" by locals, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's iconic symbols, along with the Opera House. (Courtesy Ian Lever/Tourism Australia)
Referred to as a "thirty-five million dollar steel harp" by the San Francisco Chronicle on the day it opened, the 4,200-foot-long Golden Gate Bridge is the second longest bridge of its kind in the U.S. (Courtesy shannendee/myBudgetTravel)
Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge, New York City's beloved 6,016-foot suspension bridge over the East River, shown here with the 2008 art installation Waterfalls, is one of the world's greatest bridges. (Courtesy ayc214/myBudgetTravel)
The secret ingredient in the majestic Charles Bridge in Prague, which has endured numerous wars and floods over the past six centuries, is eggs. Seriously—it is believed that eggs were mixed into the mortar to strengthen it during construction in the 1300s. (Courtesy iLoveButter/Flickr)
This gorgeous ramshackle of a bridge over the Arno River in Florence housed butcher shops and fishmongers until 1593. Today, tourists can stroll the Ponte Vecchio's elegant span while shopping for jewelry. (Image Source/Corbis)

Foto set of Jugene, Europe's fatest Supercomputer. Jugene is capable of a massive one trillion computing operations per second.
Here are some facts about the Jugene supercomputer:
* Based on IBM’s Blue Gene/P architecture.
* Computing capacity: 1 petaflop/second.
* That equals the computing power of more than 50,000 PCs.
* 294,912 processor cores.
* Processor type: 32-bit PowerPC 450 at 850 MHz.
* 144 terabytes of RAM.
* Mounted in 72 racks.
* Network bandwidth: 5.1 gigabyte/second with a 160 nanosecond latency.
* Power input: 2.2 megawatts.
Installing Jugene - Looks like there was some cabling involved in the installation process. A LOT of it…
Packing those CPUs tightly together - Each of the Jugene’s 72 racks has 1024 compute nodes, where each node has 2 gigabyte of RAM (totaling 144 terabytes for the whole system). This is what the compute nodes look like and how they are packed together:
