The New Grand Bentley, Or At Least The Front Of It!




Just in case all of you didn't know Bentley's current flagship, the Arnage is the last vestige of old Bentley prior to becoming part of the Volkswagen Group. The luxury automaker is currently in the process of building the 150 final series Arnage models and getting ready to launch a replacement.

That car now dubbed the new Grand Bentley still remains very much a mystery, but the folks in Crewe have released the first teaser image and video of the new car. At this point all we know is that it will bear the famed winged B hood ornament. Bentley will be the featured marque at this year's Pebble Beach Concours and that is expected to to be the site of the Grand Bentley's debut. In the meantime check out the special site for the car at http://www.newgrandbentley.com.

THE Code X: Vicious Machine On The High Sea's!






In the world of luxury motor yachts there has, until recently, been little that one could call truly modern in design. Apart from the bravely angular and architectural Wally boats, the design literate billionaire had little choice to match their Zaha Hadid summer house, Alfred Haeberli lounge chair or Bang & Olufsen home cinema equipment.

Step forward Swiss company Code X. Their 47′ 7” catamaran has a daringly minimalist and mean origami-meets-Tie-fighter look to it and matches avant garde styling with equally cutting edge technology.

Depending on one’s mood the Code X can either be thrust along at a brisk 80 knots by twin Ilmor formula one engines, delivering a hefty 710hp a piece, or at a more leisurely 9 knots by the twin electric motors. These can provide up to two hours of service when running off the lithium batteries and when they run dry there is also the option of continuing for an unlimited period using power generated by the catamaran’s on-board solar panels.

As if the choice of power sources wasn’t enough the Bond-villain factor is upped even more by details such as touch screen control and a GPS-controlled ‘virtual anchor’ system that utilises the electric motors to maintain a stationary position regardless of wind or currents.

Code X is based in Meggen on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland

The Debut of Veritas RS III




Veritas RS III is most certainly a dream car, let's make no mistake about that. This is a beauty of a car that is the revival of the 40's-era BMW racing team. Who doesn't love an open cockpit super car? It comes with a choice of two BMW M-sourced powertrains, 480hp V8 or 600hp V10 which allows it to reach 60 mph from a standstill in the three-second range en route to a top speed over 200 mph with either engine and no electronic aids! The much awaited car starts from a base price of $375,000 and only 50 models are going to be produced!

Self Serve Liquor Bar!!!


Now this is what I'm talking about, here is an interesting take on the bar scene - MiniBar , a new establishment in Amsterdam, looks to take the wait out of bar socializing with a self serve deal. Whether there is a control to check on intoxication of the patrons is another issue, but damn, this is Amsterdam. How does it work you ask? “Customers leave a passport or driver’s license with a staff member and are given an ice bucket and a key to their bar. The numbered mini fridges fill an entire wall, and vary in size and content—guests can choose from beer bars, champagne bars and mixed bars. Like an old-fashioned food automate, the mini bars are stocked from the back, making for easy restocking and out-of-sight logistics.” I usually go with bottle service when I'm out getting it in but this would help when I go to packed lounges where its not really necessary for me to pop bottles.

New Hennessy Black!!

Hennessy Black, the company’s first major launch since 1961, will be available in 10 markets throughout the U.S. including Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, New York City, Ohio, Washington DC and Massachusetts. The company hopes the new drink - which has a blend of Jasmine, daffodils and orange flowers mixed with citrus, honey and grapes - will take the Hennessy brand beyond the cognac category to the premium mixed spirits. The drink will come to market with a variety of mixed drink recipes, including: Hennessy Black ice (with lemon juice and sugar); Hennessy Black Bull (coffee Liqueur and cola with ice); Hennessy Black Spice (ginger, syrup and lemon juice); and Hennessy Black Royale (champagne, lemon juice and syrup).

“Today is an ideal time to launch a new product — consumers are increasingly seeking new and different ideas that can excite them,” says Andy Glaser, senior VP of Hennessy Business, adding that the Hennessy Artistry program which blends music, cultures and drinks, has a few more collaborations lined-up for this year to be announced in a few weeks.

Rapper/producer Swizz Beatz has been tapped by Hennessy V.S. to help launch the new, limited line of cognac.

The rapper will perform an original song, “When I Step Into the Club,” alongside the JabbaWockeez of “America’s Best Dance Crew” during a launch event in New York on May 5. An accompanying video by director Hype Williams will be revealed as well.

“Beatz is a long-time fan of the brand and approached us looking for ways we could work together. Since this product is all about having fun in the club, he suggested collaborating on a track that would be a hot dance song in the clubs,” Glaser, tells Billboard.biz.

Looks like some brands are taking advantage of the recession and trying new products out before the economy recovers and the real brand wars begin again! Not mad at you LVMH, looks like the team over there has a well thought out plan. They just seem to be on the pulse of the consumer right now with all the different moves each brand is making underneth them. I have to say they are a very strong Holding Company!! Everyone better watchout!

Cicolette Concept Exercise Bike!!



I never thought that exercise equipment could be transformed into functional pieces of art. But Ciclotte has proved me wrong. The Cicolette concept exercise bike looks like a unique piece of art and still promises unbeatable performance. What better way to get some cardio in then being stylish and modern. Recently exhibited in Milan this classy piece of exercise equipment has been designed by designer Luca Schieppati. It has been made almost entirely out of carbon fiber so you can expect this cycle to be lightweight and easy to carry. There is also a road faring version of this single big wheeled cycle which the designer hopes to bring to the market along with the exercise version. Either way there will be people lined up around the corner to get this when it drops. Today's consumer still likes to have something fresh and new to show off to their friends and neighbors.

A Powerful Package: The Ferrari 599XX !!





Ferrari is synonymous with not just the color ed but class, style and of course - speed. And their latest beauty, the 599XX which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show was the embodiment of all these traits and much more. Based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, the €1.1million ($1.4 million) prototype model is a hardcore racer that comes equipped with many advanced features. The modifications on the bodywork help the 599XX to produce 280 kg or 717lbs of downforce at 200km/h (124mph) and 630kg or 1,390 lbs at 300km/h (187mph). Sorry I'm really into cars so I had to give specs! LOL, this car is mean and with that price tag we all know only certain people will be able to afford it!

Feel the Time - Timepiece for the Blind


Although the blind can’t be in awe of the watches that us, privileged with eyesight get to see, designer Anna Bieniek took an approach with the visually impaired in mind. Feel the Time’s face features rotating disc with a tangible nub on each allowing the blind to read the time. The three-dimensional rings separate the discs from each other and a flexible membrane protects the face of the watch. Blind or not, this watch definitely challenges your senses and looks good on any wrist. Shout out to Limitemagazine on this one crazy!

Sex In The City: This Time For Real!




From time to time I like to find Art and display it, today I am showing you all this. I love the Sex In The City series, by Massimo Gammacurta. It is the Sunglasses Story features various designer sunglasses as a voyeuristic window, with the images behind the lens revealing certain sexual activity in an otherwise public city setting. You got to love when people push the limits of what American society says is art.

The First Hotelicopter!!


You don’t need to go to the moon to show how crazy a traveler you are, just take a flight and spend some quality, luxurious, pampering time on air. Yeah, on air on the hotelicopter. It is not a joke, there actually is something called such and it is a combination of the world’s biggest helicopter and the world’s first flying hotel. The company that is involved (no names) began work in 2004 by modifying a Soviet-made Mil V-12. It will feature all the regular five star facilities and features including private entertainment systems, room service, spa treatments, yoga classes, gaming and a tea garden. No prices out yet but the inaugural flight is planned for June 26th.
