Mercedes Hybrid F-Cell Roadster








In a hitherto unique project bridging various fields of profession (and letting tradition meet the future), the trainees of Daimler AG at the Sindelfingen Mercedes-Benz plant, have built a Roadster with fuel cell drive, the unique and gorgeous F-CELL.


From a functional standpoint though, the F-CELL is a roadster fitted with a 1.2 kW hybrid drive – one that allows it to reach a top speed of 15 mph and achieve an operating range of 217 miles. However, what truly shines about it is the design itself, as it manages to blend the overall aura of the original Benz patent motor car (out of the year 1886) with seating and a fiberglass front section both drawn from elements of Formula One racing. Not to mention a joystick that takes the place of the conventional steering wheel.

Responsible for its birth, this project involved more than 150 trainees and dual education system students from the fields of automotive mechatronics, model-building, electronics, coating technology, manufacturing mechanics, product design, and interior appointments (for more than a whole year) and its prime objective was to actually integrate the topic of alternative drive systems into training with hands-on experience.

crystallized headphones



The headphones with Swarovski crystals are the result of CrystalRoc teaming up with Audio Technica. The Crystal PRO700s are adorned with over 5000 individual Swarovski crystals to give them the sparkling look and most importantly the heightened detail.
Apart from the incredible crystal looks, the crystal clear sound quality on the broadest range of frequencies, from 5 to 30 000 Hz gives another reason to love them every day.
The headphones with Swarovski crystals are honestly as if a veil is finally lifted from the audio gear.

Dodge - Limited Edition Dodge Viper 2010











For fans of the Dodge Viper, this year is a sad one as the latest 2010 Dodge Viper is the final year of the sports car. For the last year of production, Dodge created two special limited edition variants of the Viper– The Dodge Viper ACR 1:33 Edition to commemorate the record-setting race at Laguna Seca, and the Vooodoo-edition Viper ACR.
The former has a two-tone black clear/red clear coat exterior with matching piano black console bezels with red gauge highlights and stitching; meanwhile, the latter is identifiable by the all-black black clear coat exterior with a graphite racing stripe outlined in red running down the speedster. Only 10 will be produced for each limited edition model, so these are definitely collector’s items for Dodge Viper fans.
