Startech Unveils New Kit for the Bentley Continental
The modifications provide the automobile with some youthful vigor, as the package boasts carbon fiber trim, green accents and 22-inch wheels. In regards to the exterior carbon elements, we note a front splitter attached to the bumper, a pair of panels stretched around the side air intakes, and a rear carbon diffuser. For those looking for a more eye-catching edition of the mature classic, Startech’s kit may be the way to go. Again, the official unveil will take place this week at the Frankfurt motor show.
Mansory Decks Out the Lamborghini Huracán in Carbon Fiber
Mansory’s new Huracan customization, dubbed the Torofeo, will have fans feeling nostalgic over the German tuner’s Carbonado “Black Diamond” that was released earlier this year. That’s because, aesthetically, they’re both wrapped in carbon fiber from top to bottom. The Huracan’s name, Torofeo, melds the Spanish word for bull with the Super Trofeo, the motor racing series designated for the fastest Lamborghini’s around. While the vehicle strikes a grand visual appearance, what’s under the hood should cause an even more baffled reaction. Doubling the performance attributes of a standard Huracan, Mansory imbues the vehicle with two bearing-mounted turbochargers, giving it a ludicrous output of 1,232 horsepower and an electronically-limited 737 lb-ft of torque, good enough for a 0 to 100 Km/h time of 2.7 seconds. Look for the car to makes its debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The 213-ft. Galactica Star
the world’s largest fast displacement yacht at the time of its launch in 2013, combining low resistance with high performance and fuel efficiency throughout the full speed range. It can hit nearly 30 knots while burning 20 percent less fuel than craft of a comparable size. Built by Heesen in the Netherlands it features massive amounts of outdoor space including a sundeck, a duplex beach club covering 25% of the main and lower decks, and a touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck. No mogul worth his salt would buy a boat without one, of course. It also comes with several World Superyacht Awards. The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in custom-built staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with private balcony and a VIP suite on the upper deck, along with a crew of 13 to service them. It also has a swimming pool, sauna, and on-deck Jacuzzi. The Galactica Star, which cost an estimated $70 million to build, is not on the books as a charter vessel, so some insiders speculate Jay-Z may have dropped the coin to make it his. No doubt he negotiated a good price, and by chartering it out when not in use he may even turn a profit.

Retail for the Air Max 1 Moc Hybrid is set at $300 USD.
Porsche Mission E Concept Boasts 600 hp & 15 Minute Charging Time
THIS SHIT IS HARD!!! The concept car combines the design of a Porsche and the forward-thinking of the first 800-volt drive system. With over 600 hp system power and over 500 km driving range, the all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering Mission E concept is capable of zero to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds and a charging time of around 15 minutes -thanks to the 800-volt drive system. Doubling the voltage – compared to today’s electric vehicles that operate at 400 volts – offers multiple advantages: shorter charging times and lower weight, because lighter, smaller gage copper cables are sufficient for energy transport. A moveable body segment on the front left wing in front of the driver’s door gives access to the charging port for the innovative “Porsche Turbo Charging” system. As an alternative, the technology platform can be connected to a conventional 400-volt charging station, or it can be replenished at home in the garage via convenient inductive charging by simply parking over a coil embedded in the floor of the garage. The all-electric drive concept made it possible to fully reinterpret the interior. The lack of a transmission opens up space and gives a lighter and more airy atmosphere to the entire interior. Race bucket seats served as inspiration for the four single seats. Their lightweight design is weight-saving, and it gives occupants secure lateral support during dynamic driving. Additionally, instruments are intuitively operated by eye-tracking and gesture control, some even via holograms. For a more in-depth look at the concept be sure to check out the video below.
