Pagani Huayra

I still have no idea how the hell you pronounce the name of this car,  "Huayra". But that's besides the point. I know if I've been asking you guys lately to take sometime to watch video's but this is one of those video's that you really need to watch.

This is a 14+mins documentary on the Pagani Huayra.

Got $14K laying around for a piece that will undoubtedly be a collectors item down the line? If so, take a look at KAWS x IKEPOD "Horizon" watch.

The Mile

A few of days ago, Sid Maderazo and the rest of the 88storey film posted a video called "The Mile".

Do your self a favor, take 4 minutes and watch this epic video. Not going to say anything else, because the video speaks for its self. So turn up your speakers (seriously, trust me on this one), wait for the video to completely load, kill the lights and enjoy.

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta




Just a few days ago Ferrari announce the F12 Berlinetta, a 700+ hp V12 beast, that runs 0-62mph 3.1sec and 0-124mph in 8.5sec, with a top speed of 200+mph.
Not going to go into detail about this car, you can read that up on your own. But the reason why Im posting this, is simply because I personally feel that this is one of the sexiest Ferrari's to come out in such a long time. Don't get me wrong, I love the 458 but the lines on this Berlinetta, is absolutely sexy. I cannot wait to see more photos of this beast once its officially introduced at the Geneva Autoshow

Update:
Here's an official video of the car.



Enjoy.

Hennessey McLaren MP4-12C HPE800

Well by now most of you guys have seen this. The Hennessey McLaren MP4-12C HPE800.
Most of you's reading this already know what McLaren is all about and the kind of cars they produce. But for me the MP4-12C with all of its technical specs a very powerful and amazing car, it's somewhat very ugly in my opinion.

But this on the other hand looks amazing, thanks to the art work of JonSibal and if Hennessey can work its magic with this car as they do with all the cars they get their hands on, then the final product is one thats going to be costly and amazingly scary.

Cinder Block Toaster

Let me introduce to you, Adi Zaffran's cinder block, rebar and wood toaster. Not only does it look pretty damn cool, but its functional as well. And with all the demolishing being done throughout the cities across the mighty USA, we can supply the rest of the world with these toasters.

Big ups to you mister Adi for creating something with simple industrial products that would easily make a great conversation piece at any dinner party.

Pita bread anyone?





For more info check out Adi Zaffran's website

Enjoy.
