Porsche Pumps Up the new 911 Turbo S
JOHNTA JUST GOT THIS DROP TOP, THIS WAS MY FAVORITE CAR The Porsche 911 is a bit of love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some say it’s the worst design ever imagined for a sportscar. Others point out that it’s been smoothed to perfection over the course of decades. Whichever way you look at it, Porsche’s engineers certainly don’t rest from improving the formula, and this is their latest result: the 911 Turbo S. There hasn’t been a Turbo S in the 911 range for about five years now, and it’s been fondly missed by Porschephiles. While the current 911 Turbo produces 500 horsepower, the new Turbo S trumps that with 530 – the same as the 911 GT2, only with four-wheel drive and a dual-clutch transmission. The result? 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 196 miles per hour. Available in both coupe and convertible form, the 911 Turbo S will be unveiled shortly in Geneva, after which it will go on sale across Europe starting in May with a base price of €145,400 for the coupe and €154,900 for the Cabriolet, both before taxes.

Jermaine Dupri is killing my productivity
lol!!!! February 23, 2010 at 7:47 pm by Thomas Wheatley in Inside CL Wonder where all the posts you’d normally find on Fresh Loaf are hiding? You can blame the copper thieves. This morning they appeared to strike again. You can also blame this gentleman: ‘Have fun writing about transit issues tomorrow, Wheats’ I was out until 3:30 a.m. reporting and getting all cray cray at the Gold Room for a weekly party hosted by hip hop producer Jermaine Dupri and nightlife impresario Alex Gidewon. Located in what once was the infamous Gold Club, the Piedmont Road hotspot was the glorious place I imagined it’d be — $800 bottles of champagne, VIP tables starting at $1,500, well-dressed people wearing sunglasses indoors. It was a great time.j

The $15,000 Platinum Bentley Sunglasses
THIS IS A BIT MUCH FOR ME BUT I GOTTA AT LEAST TRY UM ON At the Geneva Motor Show Bentley just unveiled a new line of limited edition sunglasses created in collaboration with Austrian eyewear manufacturer Estede. Working with the famed British marque’s design teams in Crewe, England, the Estede for Bentley collection features precious metals – silver palladium, 18 carat gold and, most exclusive of all, platinum, which Estede claims has never before been used in eyewear – and innovative surface treatments mirroring Bentley’s quilted leather upholstery. Available in two different sizes, the aviator-style shades will be offered in a presentation box containing interchangeable lenses for varying activities. Each pair will be individually numbered and can also be engraved with owner’s name and / or Bentley model number. Prices will range from about $1,900 for the silver palladium version and $5,500 for the 18 carat gold all the way up to $15,000 for the platinum model.
RALPH LAUREN BLACK LABEL ESCAPE NYLON JACKET
FRESH!!!! IF YOU AINT UP ON THE BLACK LABEL YOU TRIPPIN’ Obviously, Ralph Lauren needs no introduction. He’s built an empire in his brand that is almost beyond compare with over $5 billion in estimated revenues for 2009 and a personal fortune estimated near $2.8 billion. In its over 40-year existence, he’s seen his brand, and all of its various offshoots, woven through a myriad of cultures, in and out of vogue, enough to fill far, far more space than we have here. He created his Black Label brand (positioned just below the Purple Label) in 2005 to cater to the modern man with slimmer silhouettes, higher armholes, and fresh materials. This is the Escape nylon M65-style jacket It’s “Gehry Grey” (read: silver) weather-resistant main is perfectly offset by the medium brown leather tab details at the collar and sleeves. It also has a two-way front zip with leather tab leading to a point collar that actually folds into a standing collar using the snap closure. It’s the perfect marriage of construction and detail, which is what Ralph Lauren, at his best, is really all about.
