The 2014 McLaren P1 spits fire


The McLaren P1 will debut in Geneva a little over a month from now. God willing, so will the Ferrari Enzo successor, which would make Geneva 2013 the best auto show ever, as the two sides passive-aggressively trash talk each other in their respective press conferences.
Even if the Italians don't cooperate, the P1 will be a headline hog. McLaren knows this, and is keeping the hype fire stoked with a batch of fresh in-house "spy photos" (way to cut out the middleman, guys) and video of racetrack-pattern camouflaged "XP" development prototypes in action. The clip includes gratuitous slo-mo, lots of engine noise, maximum rear wing, and the eternally crowd-pleasing fire-spewing exhaust.

Overall, 2013 is a bonanza for enthusiasts, who get new flagship hypercars from McLaren, Ferrari, and Porsche (the 918) in close proximity to each other. It's like the old days.

Luxury Yacht Concept “Amare”

Image
Another example of sophisticated yacht design we want to show you today. Luxury Amare yacht concept was created by industrial designer Dawid Dawod. “Stunning wood accents are met with polished handles, steering wheel, knobs and other fixtures in rich detail to create an elegant yet masculine aesthetic. For the thrill seeker inside, it also comes standard with a 350 HP water-jet engine. The Amare’s classic craftsmanship combines with new technology, using rigid inflatable boat (RIB) technology to achieve its aggressive, dynamic look. Designed with human boat behavior in mind, the Yacht’s architecture also includes a fully functioning kitchen on the outer deck, sofas for relaxation, a deck for sunbathing and a canvas top for bad weather. Another characterizing design element of the boat are the rails that follow the length, functioning as handles as passengers walk and also as holders for the canvas top.” Take a look! via: http://www.beautifullife.info

Did you know that the guy named Batman bin Suparman turned out to be just a…

Image
Several years ago a man from Singapore became an Internet celebrity after his ID card flashed on the Internet. His name allegedly means Batman, son of Suparman. He even has his own Facebook fan page with more than 11,000 likes. However, as it turns out, it’s hard to live up to your name’s expectations. The 23 year old Batman bin Suparman was arrested earlier this year for robbing a store. He was caught on surveillance video and the stolen goods were estimated to cost around $400. However, it wasn’t until earlier this month when the man was sentenced to 3 years behind bars. Apart from robbing a store, Batman allegedly robbed his own brother. The man stole his sibling’s ATM card and went on a shopping spree, which caused his brother around $680. And if that’s not shocking enough, Batman also pleaded guilty for ther undisclosed thefts and for consuming illegal substances.
