Let's face it: we're a generation obsessed with documenting our lives through photos on social media platforms. This may have turned us all into narcissistic self-obsessed sociopaths, but on the bright side, we now collectively snap so many photos that we often capture amazing moments that could have easily been missed in the pre-smartphone camera era. Whether it's an inadvertent illusion caused by an unfortunate angle or an intentional and deviously planned photo made to look dirty, the following 16 photographers were blessed with photos so perfectly strange, they will leave you staring in awe. These pictures just go to show you that a little difference in perspective can change everything! 1. They wondered why the photographer chose to take the photo from such a low angle.  via  reddit /  thejohnblog 2.

Carbon Motors has unveiled their TX7 Multi Mission Vehicle (MMV) in Dec 17, 2012 . The TX7 will include infrared, thermal imaging and sensors for detecting chemical, biological and radioactive substances. Officials hope the vehicle will spur a market for greater cooperation—and joint purchases—among smaller police and fire agencies. The TX7 will be powered by a diesel V8 with clean technology. The engine manufacturer has not been disclosed, Stacy Dean Stephens, Carbon’s chief brand officer and director of marketing communications, said. The four-wheel drive chassis to be used in the vehicle is on the market. The TX7 has a starting price of $149,950, and Carbon Motors says it’s ready to start building them as soon as the second half of 2013.

Wheelsandmore, a German tuner of high-end sports cars, set about tuning the Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition, but they quickly realized the car is pretty much perfect and there is not much they can do to improve it. Still, they tweaked a few things here and there to make the car even more desirable. First off, they fitted the DBS Carbon with a set of new wheels. It is, after all, what Wheelsandmore does best. The DBS gets a set of 21-inch wheels finished in black to match the exterior color of this limited edition Aston. You can also opt for a version of these wheels with red outer lip and red brake calipers. The wheels are wrapped in Continental Sport Contact 5P, 265/30 front, 325/25 rear. Other changes made to the Aston include fitment of a F1-sport air filter and a new sport exhaust system with high performance catalysts and valve system. Together they give the DBS a total output of 557 horsepower and 660 Nm of torque. The standrd car has about 520 hp and 570 Nm. source: motorward.co

What seemed impossible until now has just become possible, thanks to a privately owned company based in Australia, named Carbon Revolution. Their latest achievement, dubbed the CR9, is the first set of one-piece carbon fiber rims ever manufactured. The extensive project was possible thanks to a whole congregation of specialists, engineers and top builders. Although aluminum is considered one of the lightest materials to craft wheels from, these carbon fiber ones are actually 40 to 50% lighter than their metallic counterparts. They have actually exceeded all laboratory and track tests and let’s also add that the OEM standards are an easy-catch for these wheels. Just because they’re so much lighter, they provide more control over the car, in terms of ride, braking and steering responsiveness. The one-piece construction of the wheels is also supported by a collection of state of the art alloys used in aerospace engineering. At first, the CR9 was merely a project, an independent research a

The Mansory Zapico bike was designed by the renowned tuning company together with motorcycle specialist Thomas M. George using quite a lot of carbon fiber to make it ultra light and really attractive in the same time. It features a carbon front mask, seat module, primary shield and silencer, bug spoiler and also carbon fiber trim on the fuel tank, frame, fork, wheel rims and airbox as well. This custom bike from Mansory is powered by a 124cc V2 engine which is made by S&S. It might seem small but this engine delivers 160 HP which is just enough to take this ultra light bike from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. The bike’s wheels measure 3.5×18″ up front and 10×18″ in the rear and come wrapped in high performance tires. source: luxatic.com
