Mission RS Motorcycle

Touted as the “highest performing street-legal electric vehicle ever made,” the Mission RS Motorcycle aims to attract a field of riders who not only desire top performance but also a totally sustainable machine. This revolutionary two-wheeler is designed to match the aesthetics of Mission’s e-power bike that blew its competition out of the water at 2011’s FIM/TTXGP e-power race at Laguna Seca in California. The RS is powered by the company’s InfiniteDrive powertrain that delivers over 160hp, a sub 3-second 0-60 time, a top speed of 150 mph, and a range of 140 miles. Further enhancements include Ohlins FGRT forks, BST carbon fiber wheels, and a 7-inch, internet-connected touchscreen that offers turn-by-turn directions, an integrated HD camera with telemetry overlay, wireless HUD integration and much more. With only 40 available, the Mission RS Motorcycle comes with a very appropriate price tag of $56,500 USD, especially when one considers it is both eco-friendly and technologically intelligent.

Halda Race Pilot Watch

The Halda Race Pilot is based on the unique Halda concept which consists of two interchangeable time modules that can be docked into a time platform at the owner’s preference. Each module is developed for optimum performance in its respective environment. That is why the Halda watches are based on functional superiority. The Race Module is developed in close cooperation with race drivers and equipped with sophisticated technology that really makes a difference in professional racing. The watch has been developed in close cooperation with professional race drivers and technicians and put to extreme tests on the race tracks. It is programmed with useful functions such as Countdown referring to FIA Formula 1 regulations and the Race Pilot program which gives you information of the most popular tracks in the world. The module also has an advanced racing chronograph showing lap times and even average speed, which registers the fastest lap with an accuracy down to 1/100 of a second. The Mechanical Module stands for the link to the past, celebrating Halda’s history and passion for mechanical movements. It has a design that is inspired from the racing industry and is equipped with one of the best engines one can find; a movement produced by one of the most renowned manufacturers – Zenith. The movement is self-winding featuring a Power Reserve indicator and has been beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève and Clous de Paris. For those moments aside the race track, the mechanical module completes the Halda Race Pilot perfectly, without compromising with design, function or quality. The watch will be launched in the second quarter of 2013.

BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe Revealed

The BMW Gran Lusso Coupe has been officially unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este near Como, Italy, hinting at the future look of the 5, 6 and 7 Series. Created in conjunction with Italian design house Pininfarina, the car could also form the basis of a new 8 Series Coupe that would sit at the top of the range. The Gran Lusso already has several trademark BMW styling cues, such as a stretched-out bonnet, double-kidney grille and the Hofmeister kink in the rear window line. Still, it's clear this is a new generation of BMW design, with the narrow lights, larger grille and single stretched air intake expected to appear on all of BMW's future luxury models, from the 5 Series upwards. The current 7 Series is due to be replaced at the end of 2014, and the new model will be the first car to get BMW's latest luxury design language. A new 8 Series isn't expected to debut until at least 2015, but when it does arrive it'll probably look very similar to the Gran Lusso. That includes the tail-lights that stretch all the way across the rear, and a roofline that flows into the bootlid through a pair of buttresses. Mounted on each of these is a subtle V12 badge, referring to the engine under the bonnet of the concept. BMW hasn't confirmed its output or capacity, but it could be the 536bhp 6.0-litre twin-turbo used in the 760Li. The Gran Lusso's cabin has plenty of exotic materials, such as kauri wood trim sourced from New Zealand and a rooflining finished in Italian virgin wool. It seats four, but BMW claims it has rear legroom “almost on a par with that of a big luxury sedan”. The new 8 Series could form part of BMW's plans to release 10 completely new models by the end of 2014 – it fits with the upcoming 2 Series and 4 Series coupes to fill gaps in the range. It would also give BMW a rival to the new Mercedes S-Class Coupe. (autoexpress)

Iamamiwhoami – “Y” (Moby Remix) (New Song)

Moby has remixed iamamiwhoami's "y" from their forthcoming release "bounty" out June 3rd via To Whom It May Concern / Co-operative Music. Moby states: “I first heard iamamiwhoami at a restaurant in London a few years ago. After hearing them I emailed my manager, Eric, and asked ‘have you heard of this band iamamiwhoami?’ and he wrote back, ‘yes, we manage them’. When they asked me to do a remix for them I happily said ‘yes’, as I’m a fan of theirs. and when I heard the song they wanted me to remix I realized that I didn’t want to deconstruct it and change it, but rather just add melodic and structural elements to it, to enhance what they’d already done.

BMW Concept 90

BMW has just taken the wraps off the Concept Ninety – a collaboration between the German firm and Californian custom builder Roland Sands as the company celebrates 40 years since the original R90S and 90 years of making motorcycles. The Concept Ninety has the 110bhp air/oil-cooled Boxer twin from the previous generation of BMW R1200GS but combines it with a pared back style and a front cowling similar to that of the original 1973 R90S; it even has the same Daytona Orange paintscheme and the short rear seat. Underneath the R90S style front fairing is a round front light but rather than the traditional front lighting technology from 1973 it has the latest LED technology. The 1973 R90S was a real performance bike in the day and remains an iconic machine today; an icon BMW is more than happy to resurrect as the firm gears up to celebrate 90 years since it started making motorcycles.

Renault Twin'Run Revealed

Following a batch of spy shots and a teaser, Renault has officially revealed the Twin'Run concept.
Envisioned most likely as a preview of a potential modern Renault 5 Turbo, the two-seater concept packs a mid-mounted V6 3.5-liter engine borrowed from the Megane Trophy. It generates 316 bhp (235 kW) at 6,800 rpm and a peak torque of 280 lb-ft (379 Nm) at 4,850 rpm. Power is sent to rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox and a limited slip differential. Thanks to this setup, the Twin'Run needs just 4.5 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) and a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
It tips the scales at only 950 kg (2,094 lbs) thanks to fiberglass body panels and a tubular chassis, while the roof, front splitter, wheel arches and rear vent are made from carbon fiber. Some of the styling will be carried over to the next-gen Twingo but with a rumored five-door configuration. It sits on 18-inch alloy wheels shod in Michelin 205/40 front and 245/35 rear tires, while stopping power is provided by vented discs with six-piston calipers for the front wheels and four-piston calipers for the rear axle. The concept is 3680mm long, 1750mm wide and 1493mm tall, with a 43:57 weight distribution. Inside the cabin it has Sparco seats with race-spec harnesses, sequential gear lever and handbrake levers installed close to the steering wheel, a 5.5-inch LCD instrument cluster, plus black & red Alcantara-like suede for the dashboard and door panels (worldcarfans)
                          

Rocket-Powered Bike Sets Land Speed Record

By strapping a hydrogen peroxide-powered rocket to his bike, daredevil cyclist Francois Gissy broke a land speed record this past Sunday, reaching a top speed of 163 MPH. Gissy set his mark along a vacant stretch of highway in Munchhouse, France, besting the previous rocket-powered bicycle record of 150 MPH set in 2002. Gissy’s monopropellant rocket, built by Swiss company Exotic Thermo Engineering, was full of concentrated liquid hydrogen peroxide, about 30 times more concentrated than stuff you can pick up at your local Walgreens. The concentration is fed from the tank into a secondary chamber that houses a catalyst — usually silver. When the reaction takes place, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into heat, water and oxygen to create steam that’s 650 degrees Fahrenheit. That steam is then pushed through a rocket nozzle, giving the bike its thrust. While Gissy broke the record for rocket-powered bikes, he was still 4 MPH off the fastest cycling speed of 167 MPH that Dutch cyclist Fred Rompelberg set in 1995 while riding in a slipstream, sans rocket.

The Adastra Superyacht By John Shuttleworth

Five years since shipping industry billionaire Anto Marden commissioned the construction of the Adastra Superyacht the modern marvel has recently taken the crown for “Most Innovative Design” at the 2013 World Superyacht Awards. Designer John Shuttleworth chose a trimaran shape in which the boat features multiple hulls with a main hull in the middle and two smaller outrigger hulls at its side. This one just so happens to be the second largest of its kind, but the only that can be controlled by an iPad miles away from the actual vessel. Measurements taken during sea trials show that its fuel consumption at 10.5 knots can respectfully reach as low as 17 liters per hour when carrying 10% fuel and water. Its slender hulls and streamlined exterior allow the Adastra to travel faster in the open ocean. At 17 knots the Adastra has a 4,000 mile range to comfortably cross both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at hi-speeds. Furthermore, the deck and superstructure is constructed from carbon fiber with Nomex honeycomb core while the hull is a glass/Kevlar foam sandwich as the interior offers lightweight oak cabinetry and honeycomb panels. To further reduce weight Shuttleworth specifically incorporated carbon fiber hatches, toilets, port lights and ladders. If you happen to be traveling by sea in or around Indonesia any time soon, you may spot the Adastra Superyacht as Marden will likely be traveling between the pair of islands he owns in the region.

When Holger Schubert created his studio-garage space, he did what any self-respecting, Ferrari-loving, minimalist architect would do: he took his work-of-art BB 512i and built everything around it.

Holger shares the details of his car and of his enviable space, which includes a 16-foot driveway bridge, a ramp to roll the car outside to start, and some of the best views a car can take in of the Pacific Ocean.

Xbox One

Following months of speculation, Microsoft has officially unveiled the successor to the Xbox 360 – the Xbox One. Designed not only for next-generation gaming but also intended to be a comprehensive entertainment experience, the Xbox One was described by Microsoft’s own Don Mattrick as a device “where all of your entertainment comes alive in one place” – an all-in-one system offering a “simple, instant, and complete” experience. Now incorporating Kinect right out of the box, the machine features voice control capabilities and gesture recognition technology for navigating its start-up interface, while the machine itself boasts 8GB of RAM, a 500GB on-board hard drive, native 64-bit architecture, HDMI input and output, built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, an 8-core CPU, and USB 3.0 connectivity. Notably, the device scraps the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive in favor of Blu-ray discs. Furthermore, the new controller is obviously based on that of the Xbox 360, albeit with a more contemporary look and an integrated battery compartment for wireless connectivity. Finally, users can expect the Xbox One to offer DVR capabilities, as well as a plethora of cloud functionalities via Xbox Live. Although pricing details have yet to be revealed, Microsoft stated that the system would launch “later this year.”

Watch The First Trailer For Alejandro Jodorowsky's New Film "The Dance Of Reality"

Back in April, it was reported that director Alejandro Jodorowsky would be debuting his first proper feature in over 20 years at Cannes this week. Best known for his surreal and violent masterpieces, The Holy Mountain, El Topo, and Santa Sangre all established the 84-year-old director as an iconic avant-garde filmmaker. And with his new film, titled La Danza de la Realidad or The Dance of Reality, Jodorowsky explores his childhood, with an autobiographical look at his youth in Chile. Adapted from his own memoir, Jodorowsky's film will deal with the director's struggle to come to terms with his abusive upbringing. In speaking with the Miami Times back in January, Jodorowsky's son Brontis—who co-stars in the film—said that, "My father had a very severe education from his father...and he remembers his childhood as a very sad and violent thing," going on to say that, "The main character is his father, Alejandro's father, and he asked me to play his father…There is a kid who plays Alejandro as a kid and a Chilean opera singer plays Sara [the mother], and Alejandro appears in the film as himself…It's very different from the other films that he made." So now, with Cannes underway, a trailer from French distibutor Pache has finally be released. Take a look for yourself below. (blackbookmag)

Drone-Vision Rifle Goes On Sale For $22K

A TEXAS company has developed a "smart rifle" that barely needs to be aimed. The maker of the $22,000 gun, being shipped to stores this week, brags that “even a novice shooter can become an elite long-range marksman in minutes”. But opponents claim the weapon will turn any "two-bit criminal"  into a "highly trained sniper", ABC News in America reports. The company, TrackingPoint, has said its “world’s first” long range Precision Guided Firearms (PGF) integrate precision hardware, digital optics, and tracking technology to deliver an unmatched shooting experience. “We’re taking centuries old tech, firearms and ammunition, and introducing 21st century technology to it,” TrackingPoint CEO Jason Schauble told ABC News. The rifles come equipped with what the company is calling the XactSystem, which uses a network tracking scope with digital display interface, laser tagging to “paint” a moving target, and a guided trigger that only lets the shooter fire when there is a high percentage shot. The weapon is being introduced at a time when the debate over gun control has raised tempers on both sides of the argument. Mr Schauble said safety is paramount with a password which can be set on the gun’s scope software. This doesn’t render the rifle useless, but it does lock any unauthorized users out of the precision technology. David Chipman, a spokesman for Mayors Against Illegal Guns which lobbies for an expansion of background checks for people buying guns, said the PGF “is not your grandfather’s hunting rifle used for sport and recreation this is a weapon designed to kill with precision.” “This technology potentially enables any two bit criminal to operate with the skills of a highly trained sniper,” Chipman said. The new gun follows controversy over 3D printable handgun designs appearing on rogue websites. Last week, blueprints for the world's first 3D printable handgun had taken refuge at file-sharing website The Pirate Bay, upsetting a US government attempt to get them off the internet. Defense Distributed, a Texas non-profit organisation that promotes the open-source development of firearms using 3D printers, withdrew the files needed to make the single-shot Liberator at the behest of the State Department on Thursday. "This file has been removed from public access at the request of the US Department of Defense Trade Controls," said Defense Distributed on its website, which it embellished with the State Department seal. "Until further notice, the United States government claims control of the information," it added without elaboration. (news)

Aston Martin CC100 Speedster Concept

Aston Martin has unveiled the CC100 concept as part of the company's centenary celebrations. The concept is a tribute to the firm's 1959 DBR1 racer which triumphed at Le Mans and has a classic two-seat speedster configuration with modern AM styling cues. It boasts a carbon fiber body work and a V12 6.0-liter mill linked to a 6-speed automated manual gearbox. 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) takes a little over four seconds, en route to an electronically-limited top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). The car is approximately 4.5 meters long and around 2 meters wide, with an estimated curb weight of less than 1,200 kg (2,645 lbs). The concept was developed and built in less than six months at the company's global headquarters in Gaydon, UK. Aston Martin has built one unit of the CC100 up until now and apparently it has already been sold for an estimated price tag of between 770,000 USD and 1,540,000 USD. (worldcarfans)
