Take your tropical island where ever you go
Have you been trying to escape to a tropical island? Things are getting in the way? University, work, family, finance... Well what if I told you someone can sail their own island where ever they want.
That's the concept behind the "Tropical Island Paradise" superyacht, whose designers say it was "inspired by the islands of the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Polynesia."

2012 Maserati GranCabrio Convertible Sport
Now to say that Maserati isn’t trying is likewise a slap in the face of the Italian automaker. And to be completely on the up-and-up, if there’s a car that can definitely make the world stand up and take notice, the brand’s new 2012 GranCabrio Convertible Sport is that car. Scheduled to be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the newest Maserati GranCabrio Convertible is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Even though it can't compete with Ferrari in terms of top speed, HP and 0 to 60, it definitely captures your attention with her looks.
2013 BMW Gran Coupe
So it has been a while since BMW gave us something to admire and drop our jaws. Thankfully they finally came to their senses and decided to give us a BMW with a little more personality and character. Well, hopefully...
The Gran Coupe concept has finally been pushed through to production. With the AUdi A7 lurking at the segment and the Mercedes CLS in it's second version, BMW needed a new star. For that they are signing the Gran Coupe with a contract starting in 2012.
Mr. Bean has a V-16 engine in his RR Phantom!!!! V16!
Mr. Bean, now you know who I'm talking about! Bean is known by most as the funniest man in the world. After all Mr. Bean hardly needs an introduction but what most people don't know is that Atkinson is also an avid car lover and collector, and he drives like a pro. After all in one of his movies he was able to brush, undress, dress and eat while late to a doctors appointment.

10 Most Expensive Hotel Rooms In The World
Like luxury? Planning a romantic trip? Perhaps you just like to spend and be pampered... Or just a creep like me searching where rich people go... Which ever one you are, you should check out this list and keep it for reference.
Just keep in mind, those prices don't include tax so be prepared to add 10 to 17%
10- The Penthouse Suite, The Martinez Hotel, Cannes
Nightly Rate: $18,000
This is the biggest, most expensive, and the only terraced penthouse suite on the Cote d’Azur. Both of the two suites has a jacuzzi, plasma screen televisions, DVD library, kitchen, open bar, private butler on call 24/7 (ditto for a limousine), and an option to join both suites into one big apartment. The luxury has no limit here – the design is kept in the Art Deco style, with streamlined furniture, silk curtains and teak parquet floors.
The wraparound terrace is 2,000 square feet with the views of the Lerins Islands as well as the entire Bay of Cannes and can comfortably hold 100 people. One Saudi sheik liked the suite so much he wanted to rent it for five years. The hotel said no. What else can you say? Tres magnifique!

Convertible Rolls Royce
Typically, automakers don’t create vehicles just for the sake of making them weekend riders, but that’s because many of us can’t afford to buy a car just to use it two days out of the week. Rolls Royce owners, on the other hand, can have a different car for every day of the week and it wouldn’t matter. After trying it out they really like it and the British luxury automaker decided to offer its British customers a very special Phantom Drophead Coupe that "was designed to capture the essence of a perfect weekend get-away, offering drivers and their passengers the ultimate luxurious and relaxing experience in roof-down motoring."
125m yacht
Another intriguing concept from yacht enthusiast Hyun-Seok Kim. The Voronoi mega-yacht is named after the voronoi pattern of the irregular honeycomb lattice structure that encases it’s upper levels. This yacht was made to entertain. Hot tubs and golfing green occupy the upper deck and within the lattice on the bridge deck lies an indoor garden and luxurious pool area. The interior has all sorts of comforts of home and a little more. It even has a sleek emergency vessel for a stylish evacuation, but hopefully the captain’s only worry will be avoiding those honeycomb tan lines.
Maserati, a new SUV?
In 2003 since Maserati Kubang Concept was released I've been waiting for it to get into production. My prayers have finally been answered and in 2011 Maserati confirms the new SUV is finally set to launch sometime in 2012. That confirmation was followed with rumors of a Ferrari-sourced engine, but as it turns out, Top Gear is hearing that Chevrolet will actually be the ones powering the bulkier Maserati.
Is Bugatti planning on reviving the Royal 1933?
A leaked document about Bugatti’s future product planning revealed some very interesting facts about the company’s plans for the year. We already know that the final unit of the Veyron will be produced in December, but what I didn’t know was that the Galibier will be put into production as the Royale. That is, unless Bugatti is looking to unveil a entirely new supercar which we doubt. Look for the new Royale to be debuted in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Top 10 most expensive cars in the world
In 1987 Bugatti Kellner Royale was sold for $8,700,000. But that car and many others alike are not included in this list because they are not available in current market. This list features cars that are in production and sold to the public, not concept cars and not very limited editions sold in auctions.
Aston, Maybach ‘to team up’ to bring a unique concept to the Frankfurt auto show.
Aston Martin and Maybach are discussing building a concept car together, possibly for the Frankfurt show in September and the move could signal an impending partnership between Aston and Mercedes-Benz.
Little is known about the concept, except that it is likely to be a luxury car, with a high-quality interior finished to the hand-crafted standards of a British luxury saloon.
Aston is understood to have approached Mercedes with an idea for at least one concept, although a source suggests that two projects are the subject of discussions. Neither Aston Martin nor Mercedes would comment.
Leading the bull to the water... Lambo Yacht
Well, designer Mauro Lecchi felt the same way, and now we’re getting exactly what we wanted. Introducing the Lamborghini power yacht. This 50 foot, carbon fiber beast sports all the speed and luxury you’d expect from a super-car maker. Although I'm asking for change from Lamborghini, there's one thing that I love that they kept. The bull look of the Aventador was the inspiration to sketch this yacht, after it's not Lamborghini if it doesn't look scary, strong and bull-like.
Did I mention the prototype is under construction? Yup, it's not just a conccept! Though it started as just a sketch, the prototype is in production and is rumored to be powered by either two 550hp V12 Motori Marini Lamborghini engines or two twin 950 hp Seatek turbodiesels. As for the interior, it will be styled by none other than Fenice Milano, famous for working their magic on the Rolls Royce Ghost.

Transparent phone
Official concept phone, one created by Aston Martin and Mobiado, the famous luxury gadget designer. What you can see in the pictures is a transparent phone running Android.
The glass is in fact a touchscreen and Mobiado hopes to also implement a SIM card slot, a chipset and a battery on this gadget. Mobiado CTP022 is supposed to connect to the car and its display, showing a map of local venues and friends from the Foursquare network. Turns out that the camera in your car can snap a photo and post it on Facebook letting everyone know you own an Aston Martin.
Road Marvels from the past.
Did you ever wonder where all these amazing new sport and luxury cars start from? It's really interesting to see the dramatic change and enjoy the beauty of the first models.
