Superyacht Range Rover..








These count for true luxury beauty..
a combination between yacht designs and a car!!
This collaboration between Edmiston and Range Rover means that you can now get the feel of the high seas on dry land. Together, Edmiston and Range Rover held a competition in August asking the world's seven leading Superyacht designers to customize a Range Rover. The cars should match the luxury of a yacht. Complete with teak decking, reclining seats, and of course compartments for champagne.

In turn, the winner Andrew Winch's " Sea Rover " was announced at the end of the Monaco Yacht Show held in September. He said ‘As always I approached the challenge from a lifestyle and client point of view, so the car will stand out in the Cote d’Azur, yet work in harmony with our beautiful sailing yacht designs. It is the only mode of transport from private Winch jet to Winch yet.’

The good news is that each of the seven designs are being made to order. The prices for these range from €200,000 to €800,000. The delivery time takes about 3 - 6 months.

I have always loved Range Rovers, this goes out to the designers with their innovative Ranges.

Mercedes in Motor Sports 2025





Yahooo!! I can see myself whizzing away in this (just imagining!)..Hello eco-friendly Mercedes!!

Recently Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Center of North America revealed images of this Formula Zero..tomorrows look into the next way of racing..Environmentally friendly! Taking its main elements from the thrill of Formula One cars, the grace and efficiency of yachts, and the track dynamics of bobsleds.

This zero-emissions racer is designed to extract the maximum force from the electric motor powered by renewable resources, with a high-tech wind catching sail, and an aero-efficient solar skin..The future of racing won't just be on the speed of the car, but also on how energy-efficient they are.

Automotive world of tomorrow..VW 2028






Volkswagen 2028 offers the brands vision of the automotive world in 20 years. With 4 concept cars: One (a compact personal mobility vehicle), Ego (a 2-seat coupé), Room (a living-room family car), and Up! (a mini car), all made and designed to suit different needs. What I love is that they're exploring new technologies and ideas, such as: Sustainability, Networked mobility, Custom-made cars at the touch of a button, and Accident free driving. Above all, these cars will be like a good friend that knows what you think about things, helps you with viable information, and cares about you automatically! Talk about A.I.
