Rolls-Royce Apparition by Jeremy Westerlund
WTF!!!!!!!!!! IS THIS Rolls-Royce Apparition by Jeremy Westerlund You’ve seen the Rolls-Royce Phantom. You’ve seen the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Now say hello to the Rolls-Royce Apparition.Unlike its production counterparts, the Apparition is purely a design study. It’s the brainchild of oneJeremy Westerlund, who designed it as an independent project while studying at the Art Center. The idea blends classic design elements with futuristic ones, with mahogany wheel inserts and a shape that places the chauffeur out in the open like in vintage motor carriages, with the occupants coddled inside.Although just a design for the time being, the model itself is nearly six feet long, and in reality would measure over 23 feet long, or four feet longer than the Phantom saloon.
Mercedes-Benz Ciento Once by GWA Tuning
YOU WONT SEE 3 OF THESE AT THE CLUB Back in the late 60s and into the 70s, Mercedes-Benz made a series of prototypes called the C111. They were at the very cutting edge of automotive design and performance, packing rotary engines into aerodynamically svelte shapes. Unfortunately they remained prototypes exclusively, and were never offered for sale. But now a company in Texas has replicated the form with even more modern technology.Built by San Antonio-based GWA Tuning – an experienced Mercedes-Benz expert – the Ciento Once (Spanish for “one hundred eleven”) has the same V12 AMG engine as the Pagani Zonda, with the rolling stock from the SLS AMG supercar and the brakes from the S55 AMG performance sedan. The shape is retro, but still avant-garde, while the interior mixes old and new with such touches as tartan-upholstered carbon-fiber seats. See for yourself in the gallery below.
Casio’s Transforming Tryx Restores Our Shattered Faith in the Point-And-Shootil
Behold the Tryx, a piece of Transformer ingenuity that boasts three different configurations — although, really, the possibilities are kinda endless. The three-inch touchscreen LCD pops out of the frame, which can be propped up as a tripod, or turned into a sort of anywhere-hanger to help shoot your combined remake of ‘Man With a Movie Camera’ and ‘Koyaanisqatsi.’ A 12.1-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and a 21-millimeter lens provide optimal picture quality and range for such a tiny cam (.59 inches thick!), which also shoots 1080p video, slow motion video (at speeds up to 240 fps), HDR snaps and 360-degree panoramas. The screen is touch-based, allowing for touch-shutter and touch-focus. But, really, the draw is the flexibility of Tryx’s design. You can find better cameras that will give you the same features and more — but they won’t be able to effortlessly hang from a tree limb or prop themselves up on a park bench. Look for the Tryx when it’s released in April, for $249.99.
