BMW Reveals Series 8 Concept Car

The BMW Concept 8 Series coupe has been unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este car show in Italy, providing a window into the design of the revived 8 Series production model, scheduled to launch in 2018. The original BMW 8 Series was the brand's flagship luxury grand touring coupe from 1991 to 1997. With its V8 or V12 engine, mated to the choice of a manual or automatic transmission, the 8 Series quickly gained a reputation for style, comfort and power. Although BMW has not released images or detailed information about the 2018 8 Series, which will replace the current 6 Series lineup, the Bavarian automaker says the concept vehicle "reveals much of what is to come." The Concept 8 Series exhibits many traits of a traditional BMW coupe, including a long hood, short rear deck and muscular flanks. High wheel arches accentuate 21-inch spoked wheels, and at the low-slung front end, narrow headlights point to the ubiquitous kidney-shaped grille. The overall effect is one of serious power waiting to be unleashed. The interior of the Concept 8 Series displays the style, function and comfort buyers expect in a vehicle at the high end of the sport-luxury spectrum. The carbon-fiber seat shells, digital gauge cluster and red-anodized paddle shifters attest to the coupe's sporting nature, while touches such as Merino leather seating surfaces, a faceted ground gearshift lever, and an iDrive controller made from Swarovski glass deliver its luxury bona fides. BMW concludes that the Concept 8 Series is "a preview of a model which BMW is set to introduce in a similar form in the coming year. The BMW 8 Series Coupe will build on the company's successful tradition of luxurious sports cars and adds another exciting model — a genuine dream car — to its existing luxury-class lineup. The BMW 8 Series Coupe will bring together razor-sharp dynamics and modern luxury, and set new benchmarks in the luxury coupe segment." (edmunds)

Elbow Portable Cassette Tape Player

Iconic as the cassette itself has become, most portable players obscured their contents inside plastic housings. The Elbow Cassette Tape Player is different. Simultaneously stripped down and innovative, this concept uses a single pulley to drive the tape and an optical sensor to track the speed. Combined with the bi-axial arm and control wheel, that means it's incredibly small and leaves most of the cassette exposed for your visual enjoyment. Audio is output via a standard 3.5mm headphone plug. The device recharges via mini-USB, a port that doubles as a way to transfer audio to a computer, and a small pin on the back lets you attach it to clothes and bags. (uncrate)

Ulysse Nardin took to the recent Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva to debut its new InnoVision 2 concept timepiece, a beautiful watch for the future. The InnoVision 2 celebrates the 10th anniversary of the original InnoVision watch that was released in 2007.

Ulysse Nardin promises 10 innovations packed into the InnoVision 2, which also features a modern exterior design that makes it one of the most impressive watches at the famed show and probably the rest of 2017. The 10 new innovations in the InnoVision 2 are dual constant escapement, direct Silicium bonding, a Silicium balance wheel, the Grinder automatic winding system, a Sapphire-coated Silicium bridge, 24-karat hard gold wheels, a glass bridge, Super-LumiNova, a 1-11 and 13-23 time display, and three-dimensional glass minute hands. This InnoVision 2 concept watch serves as a perfect example of the legacy of Ulysse Nardin’s late, great leader, Rolf Schnyder. (amlu)
