Jaguar C-X16 Concept
THAT NEW NEW Judging by its sleek, Aston Martin-ish form, you might think that the Jaguar C-X16 Concept($TBA) was bound to become the company’s new flagship speedster. You’d be wrong. Instead, the C-X16 is designed to compete with more affordable sporting coupes, but doesn’t skimp on the performance, thanks to a supercharged, 3.0L V6 pumping out 376 horsepower that’s paired with an eight-speed gearbox and an electric motor that’s linked to a “Push to Pass” button on the steering wheel, boosting output another 92hp and allowing for a 0-62 time of just 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

Samsung MV800 Compact Camera
ANOTHER ONE TO CHECK OUT The Samsung MV800′s ($315) killer feature stares every user right in the face — that is if they want it to. Its 3.0-inch touch screen display can rotate 180 degrees, allowing users to easily frame self portraits or other awkward shots we’d rather not know about. It’s a new convenience we’ve seen on mid-tier DSLRs before, and we’re glad to see trickle-down to point and shoots. Speaking of shoots, the 16.1 Megapixel camera packs everything you’d expect in a decent pocket cam including a 4.7~23.5 mm Schneider Lens, 5X optical zoom, built-in HDMI port and a MicroSD slot. An integrated photo editor, panoramic mode, 3D photo converter and a slew of artsy filters round out the MV800?s software offerings.
