Trident Iceni – A green speeding sports car

Terms like “luxury” and “eco-friendly” seem to be getting along better these days as we see them coming under one roof to render the most opulent yet green alternatives. The Trident Iceni highlights the clever fusion of these two features. Designed and manufactured by Phil Bevan, it is empowered by a Duramax turbo diesel engine with 550 horsepower at 3800 rpm. This enables the Iceni to zoom off to over 200 miles per hour. Also it can cover 2,000 miles on a full-fueled tank. This green two-seater sports car can go from 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds and deliver up to 100mpg.

The Modern Alchemist: Giving your Saloon the Midas Touch

The literariness defines “alchemy” as an entirely different domain, but for the rich who like adorning their high-priced cars with a Midas touch, Alchemist would just the company to help them conquer their dream. The Prestige and Performance Motor Show, MPH London sees many of the big names from the opulent world showcasing their cars in an extravaganza where the rich flaunt their wealth with a candid attitude. The same affair would showcase the brilliance of the Alchemist from the motoring world which would bring to the floor a 24 karat gold plated Aston Martin DBS with a platinum leaf. The MPH would showcase big and grand cars from the Ferraris to the Maseratis but the gold-plated Aston Martin DBS would make for an entirely different entity. The brainchild of a Frenchman residing in London, Alchemist purely specializes in endowing every car roof with a Midas touch and thus makes the rich happy. After the event one would recognize Jacques Blanc as an alchemist for the rich, who just turns every car he touches to gold. Image-gallery after jump.

Wild entertainment ideas get tamed in tiger-print-themed home theater

As a kid, I remember sketching and coloring an image out of a small sign (clue) on the otherwise blank page. Same is the case for founder of First Impressions Theme Theaters and designer Jeff Smith. When a client handed him a sample of animal print carpeting and asked him to put up an exclusively designed theater around it, Jeff got to work. Grabbing that piece of tiger print motif and a chance to prove his skills, Smith began work on what would become an opulent tiger-print-bedecked theater that he credits his client’s sense of style as the driving force behind. Intended to serve as an entertainment center for the grandkids, and a retreat where couples could relax and socialize with family and friends, this contemporary styled theater is cuddled up in a corner of a two-story, 10,000-square-foot estate in a South Florida golf community.

$21 Million Hawker 4000 for the Perfect Businessman

They say ‘to possess a private jet worth millions, you need a business worth billions and furthermore, etiquettes worth trillions’. My job here is to cater to the first two aspects and leave the last one for the riches and thus I agree to the part where they talk about possessing billions. Obviously, it is those billions you need to possess the $21 Million Hawker 4000 private plane also called the Hawker 4000 Business Jet. A perfect place to hold those ultra-secret meetings catering to the future business plans, the Hawker 4000 houses avant-garde features viz. a multiple duplicate system and superior avionics. The riches do have the millions to shell for this giant but the problem is that they cant be thinking about its maintenance all the time and thus the Hawker 4000 makes for a perfect choice considering its longer exterior life (Erosion Proof) which was developed after the maker invested billions on the research of the same. Lastly, it can proudly boast of the quietest interior cabin of all its class members which can make for a peaceful private journey despite the most demanding time schedules. We end up here on the first two issues and if you wish to know about those etiquettes worth a trillion you would probably have to follow the main link. Video on the Source.

Roadster of the Century: The 1.4 Million Bugatti Veyron

I have been a car lover for quiet a number of years now and thus have loved them in all shapes and sizes. The Open Top cars, so as to say, have attracted me the most over all these years of fanaticism be it the soft top, the hard top or even the removable top one. By all these years of a fanatic’s experience, I serenely rate the latest entrant into the same zone from Bugatti Veyron as the best ever I have witnessed. Not that Bugatti is the name behind bringing out the masterpiece it calls the Grand Sport which makes me adore it; it even convinces a naked eye on the basis it has been designed. It is one car that you would get into and would never feel like getting out off. Unveiled in a strange yet suitable manner at the Concours d’ Elegance, the Grand Sport brings to the table sheer brilliance that makes the world of automobiles a great place.

Treasure Find: £25,000 Anglo Saxon Gold Cross

The Unity of England has always remained an avid topic with historians especially with reference to Anglo-Saxons and what could now potentially bring back the topic to life after a long gap is the discovery of this rare cross. Not on the same tone though, they could now be remembered again for an amateur treasure hunter has found a 1400-year old (hailing from the 7th century) Anglo Saxon Cross from a farm in Nottinghamshire. The Cross believed to be worth £25,000 has been done in 18 karat gold and has three red gemstones intact. Believed to worn as a pendant for its small-size it is made of gold melted from Merovingian French Coins. Even the three red gemstones are special as they are supposedly the Grantum gems which are one of most ancient stones in the world. A treasure hunters dream, this cross could be a huge attraction for the German origin people residing in the UK.

Bugatti does the Targa with a whopping $2,250,300

Thanks to Autoblog that I now finally know the exact dubbing of the 16.4 Bugatti Targa. While Autoblog keeps doing the same with its first reveller, I feel grand to call it the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. Don’t give a damn of how Bugatti would convince people to go for it without a retractable roof (it has opted for a removable one rather), the electronically limited 217mph car would be up for the grab at Pebble Beach with a starting auction price of $2,250,300. Not many choose to go off the veil at the Concourse d’Elegance but for a devil that would get 80 incarnations only, the debut sounds suitable. Two weeks more and then we could have the price of the first topless Bugatti ever sold, something which could set a new standard for the riches when they talk about their topless (in all passiveness) possessions. Is there anyone still complaining about that roof, well then, with all that money involved, the choice is yours to make.
