The Definition of Camouflage

The definition of camouflage is defined as :

1. a disguise or cover up, covering up.
2. the act of disguise, disguising.
3. (military) The use of natural or artificial material on personnel, objects, or tactical positions with the aim of confusing, misleading, or evading the enemy.

Clearly not the case with this military-style Ferrari 458 Italia created by German company called Cam Shaft. 

CAMO OR NOT THAT SH#T IS HARD!!

REST IN PIECES

GM will officially shut down Hummer operations as the deal with a Chinese automaker stalled over Chinese environmental concerns.

Hummer joins Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Saturn in the growing pile of ex-GM brands no longer considered part of the company's focused mission of not having to file for bankruptcy again. It was hoped, as with Saab and Spkyer, another company would step up and save the brand. In this case, it was Chinese company Sichuan Tengzhong, who couldn't persuade the government in Beijing it was a good idea to accept a company like Hummer into the big Chinese automaker family because of the brand's less-than-green reputation.

Honda 3R-C Concept

This three-wheeled Honda 3R-C will debut at the Geneva auto show, where it will share floor space with the decidedly less weird EV-N. Like the EV-N, the 3R-C is an electric vehicle, although this one only holds one occupant, rather snugly it appears—kind of like an electric sock you drive. The batteries are said to sit low in the vehicle, keeping the center of gravity close to the ground.

Megan Fox Covers W Magazine

Megan Fox talks about the Armani underwear ad among other things in the latest issue of W magazine. She says,

“There are some women you could put in underwear and photograph them, and it looks really classy and it doesn’t necessarily provoke a pinup image. But with me it does, immediately, as soon as I’m in underwear. I’m a Vargas girl. So they were really conscious of that on set, trying to make sure that it didn’t look like we were doing a Victoria’s Secret campaign or a men’s magazine. They wanted it to look like fashion. Which is hard to do with me.”

“No one believes me when I talk about this, but I’m really, really maternal. I worry that because I’ve always wanted [kids] so much, as the world goes sometimes, I won’t be able to have them, even though I would be able to provide them with such an amazing environment. And you know, the people who hate kids and don’t want kids always end up having 50 of them.”

No Turning Away the McIntosh MT10

No Turning Away

McIntosh releases it's first turntable after six decades in the audio business, the MT10’s specs match its style.

Witness its belt-driven 12-pound platter, machined from a special silicone acrylic. The 2.5-inch thick, backlit platter rotates on a magnetic bearing that literally suspends it on a friction-free cushion of air.
A damped Dural aluminum tone arm rides on a sapphire and ceramic bearing and is pre-set for tracking force, anti-skate and cartridge alignment. Finally, a mirror-finish chassis and fiber optic-illuminated glass front panel — sporting the renowned McIntosh logo and trademark analog meter (this one indicates platter rotation speed) — helps ensure that the MT10’s form complements its function.

2011 PORSCHE 911 TURBO S

Porsche will unveil the most powerful version of the 911 Turbo in March at the Geneva Motor Show. The 2011 911 Turbo S Coupe and Cabriolet will be available in May, 2010 with an MSRP of $159,100 and $170,200 respectively.

Press release

The engineers at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, have developed a new top-of-the-range sports car for the customer who will only settle for the very best in terms of power, performance and driving dynamics: the 911 Turbo S. The heart of this most exclusive high-performance athlete is of course a six-cylinder boxer boosted by two exhaust gas turbochargers with variable turbine geometry, with an increase in power over the 911 Turbo by 30 to 530 bhp (390 kW). Maximum torque is a most impressive 700 Newton-metres (516 lb-ft). At the same time this new top model comes as standard with all high-tech components available only as options on the “regular” 911 Turbo.

Despite its significant increase in power and dynamic performance, the new 911 Turbo S, at 11.4 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 24.8 mpg imp), does not consume any more fuel than the Porsche 911 Turbo, making it by far the most efficient sports car in its performance class.

The 911 Turbo S comes exclusively with seven-speed Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) (Porsche’s Double-Clutch Gearbox) conveying drive power to Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive. Driving safety optimised to an even higher standard is ensured by Dynamic Engine Mounts and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) including a mechanical differential lock on the rear axle. In conjunction with Launch Control on the Sport Chrono Package Turbo likewise featured as standard, 911 Turbo S accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in 10.8 seconds

Top speed is 315 km/h or 195 mph. Extra-light and fading-resistant Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) provide the same outstanding performance in terms of stopping power and controlled application of the brakes.

The supreme level of standard equipment including Dynamic Bending Lights, 19-inch wheels in RS Spyder design with central locking, a three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles, adaptive sports seats, cruise control, a CD/DVD changer and exclusive twin-tone leather upholstery in Black/Crema or Black/Titanium Blue additionally underlines the outstanding class and calibre of this first Turbo S in five years.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S will be at the dealership as both a Coupé and Cabriolet as of May 2010. The German market price of the Turbo S Coupé is Euro 173,241 including 19 per cent value-added tax and local equipment in the market (the Euro base price is Euro 145,400). The Cabriolet retails in the German market at Euro 184.546, again including 19 per cent VAT and local equipment/specifications (base price Euro 154,900).

IMO - THIS TURBO S WILL BE THE GTR KILLER

KRIS KUKSI - ATTENTION TO DETAIL

" When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls -- the World. "

- Lord Byron -

Born March 2, 1973, in Springfield Missouri and growing up in neighboring Kansas, Kris spent his youth in rural seclusion and isolation along with a blue-collar, working mother, two much-older brothers and an absent father. Open country, sparse trees, and alcoholic stepfather, perhaps paved the way for an individual saturated in imagination and introversion. His fascination with the unusual lent to his macabre art later in life. The grotesque to him, as it seemed, was beautiful. Reaching adulthood his art blossomed and created a breakthrough of personal freedom from the negative environment experienced during his youth. He soon discovered his distaste for the typical American life and pop culture, feeling that he has always belonged to the ‘Old World’. Yet, Kris’ work is about a new wilderness, refined and elevated, visualized as a cultivation emerging from the corrupt and demoralized fall of modern-day society. A place were new beginnings, new wars, new philosophies, and new endings exist.

 THE DETAILS WITHIN THESE SCULPTURES ARE TOO CRAZY!!

Breaking Rules ... Breaking Convention

Unlike conventional bicycles, the Factor 001 has been designed from the ground up as an integrated, cohesive device.  By taking component integration to a new level the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts – riders of the Factor 001 will experience unprecedented efficiency, responsiveness and durability.

The Factor 001 is much more than a joy to ride. It is the first truly modern training aid for the serious athlete. The fully integrated, multi-channel ergonometric data recording system delivers a richer record of athletic performance than could previously be achieved. For the first time, riders and their coaches can collect and analyse laboratory-quality data in a real-world environment.

Ultimately, the Factor 001 is an interpretation of design when abandoning convention and taking a clean sheet approach to a classic design challenge. The aim was to achieve function by optimal design with integration a key element to producing a clean and smooth machine that is not only beautiful, but elegant and ultimately efficient in all areas.

Murciélago Series Number 4,000 Arrives in China

Italian Super sportscar manufacturer Automobili Lamborghini proudly celebrates a historic event: an LP 670-4 SuperVeloce version of its current flagship V12 Murciélago, carrying series number 4,000, has just left Lamborghini's factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, destined for a Chinese buyer.

Commenting on the record production, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann said, "The enthusiasm our products incite makes us proud and confirms that the company's product strategy and model range are a winning combination, producing exceptionally desirable super sportscars."
Only around 2,900 of the previous V12 model, the Lamborghini Diablo, were built over eleven years of production.

The Murciélago SuperVeloce LP 670-4 carrying series number 4,000 is a lightweight version of the Murciélago LP 640 on which it is based.
With an increase in power to 670 hp from its 6.5 V12 engine, and weight reduced by 100 kg, the power-to-weight ratio of the SuperVeloce is 2.3kg/hp. The 0-100km/h acceleration is blisteringly quick at 3.2sec, and top speed reaches 342 km/h (212mph). Only 350 SuperVeloce special series models will be produced, with each one's soft contours and razor-sharp edges showing the features of an extreme driving machine.

This SuperVeloce will be delivered to Lamborghini's showroom in Hangzhou: China has become a strategically important market for Lamborghini's super sportscars. The Italian car manufacturer has a sales affiliate in China as well as seven dealers who have recorded an exponential increase in sales, with the Pacific-Asian area responsible for a quarter of all Lamborghini cars produced.
Murciélago series number 4,000 shows off its carbon fibre body painted in orange Arancione Atlas, a luxurious cockpit in Alcantara and carbon fibre inserts, black sports bucket seats with orange contrasting trim and an imposing rear spoiler which improves vehicle stability at high speeds.

AN ORIGINAL ROLEX CERAMIC BLACK SUBMARINER?

Yeah, yeah - I know the aftermarket BLACKED-OUT Rolex Submariners have been done for a minute but I still think they're sick. I told myself sometime ago that the next Rolex I would buy will be the 44mm Deep Sea. That's unless Rolex opens the books and creates a Rolex original ceramic black Submariner.

 IT WOULD BE GAME OVER!!

KOBE - GREATEST PLAYER OF THIS GENERATION?

 

Now that #24 has solidified his place in the basketball bibles we are left wondering… 

Does each generation have a “greatest player” or do the players evolve and get better with each generation? 

According to the calculations of all around statistics, wins, and championships – that would make Kobe Bryant the greatest NBA player of all time!!!!

Could the math be off? NEVER!!
