Drop Top Mechanism
One-piece roof mechanism. Quick and simple. Nice to look at, too.
Because engineering puts a roof on top of your head;
Drop Top, Drop Dead Gorgeous
It's the open-top version of Ferrari's 458 Italia, and it's proudly called the 458 Spider. The signature 4.5-litre V8 is hidden from view under the solid cover of the Spider, instead of proudly being displayed behind glass in the coupe version, but what you gain is even more rewarding; a quick and simple, yet sophisticated roof mechanism, and more importantly, wind in your hair...
Could convertibles be this perfect? This is without a doubt the best convertible in existence today that money will be able to buy. Wait for it, next month in Frankfurt.
Because few things in this world are as eye-pleasing as a shiny red convertible;

Hail the New 911
Since I was 15, the grand plan was, and still is, to own a 911, at some point in life. Now, four years into the dream, the plan has never been more clearer...
Even before I was certain that engineering was the way to go (the original, naive aim was to settle for an Industrial/automotive design degree (= ), I knew full well that this car's steering wheel was destined for my hands, at all costs, someday...
Sure, I'd work my butt off for a 911... call me materialistic, but this is all I ask for. Nothing else... Yeah, the girl can wait ;-)
Hail the new-generation 911; the definition of sports car; an icon, forever chasing perfection, because there's always something to improve...
Because there's always something to improve...

Peace Rocks
U2-Sunday Bloody Sunday-
Because music is meant to be felt, not just heard, and if you listen for the sake of the beat, and not even spare a thought about the lyrics and the meaning behind it, then no wonder you listen to trash;

Vorsprung durch Technik
The future is small... and light... and compact... not to mention sleek...
Introducing Audi's advanced concept for the 2011 Frankfurt Motorshow next month. It's called the Audi Urban Concept, and, as the name suggest, this is Audi's vision of what metropolitan streets will be filled with in the near future...
It's incredibly, sufficiently small. It has a 1+1 seating arrangement, somewhat reminiscent of the Renault Twizy's (google it), except that the passenger is not fully placed behind the driver, rather a little bit offset to the driver . It's properly good-looking, with all the glory of the four rings surrounded by that signature trapezoidal grill, and even a strip of red paint on the sides suggesting a trademark relation to the R8's side fins.
It doesn't disappoint tech-wise as well... Properly futuristic, with a body made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic... and of course, it's electrically-powered. Can you expect anything less?
Other than that, details remain scarce... no choice but to wait for next month...
As I always say, I am quite a sucker for small 4-wheelers, and the future, as it seems, is infested with them... It would definitely look cute parked beside my R8 :)
Because size matters;
