Summer in Tokyo

via Kirainet.com - A geek in Japan

I love this video arranged and with original music by Joan Jim�nez showing images from last summer in Tokyo.

Reality is the contrast between what we have inside and what exists outside. I invite you to a shared trip to Tokyo where I put eyes and music and you all put the sensations�

Mansory, the refining specialist who has earlier presented the carbon fiber parallels for Porsche and Bugatti Veyron, has done it again with the Mansory Cyrus, an all-carbon fiber Aston Martin DBS. The black beauty comes with a list of accessories including a new aerodynamic power pack, a coil over suspension and massive rims in XXL. The exteriors feature a newly designed carbon bonnet along with a newly designed rear skirt. And the interior refinements include pedals and foot rests made of aluminum, new door sills and head rests with embroidered Cyrus logos and a re-designed steering wheel with airbag. Also available on demand is a set of tailor-made carbon parts for the dashboard and center console. The Cyrus aerodynamics components are made of light �prepreg autoclav carbon� and include wing extensions for the front and back besides side skirt attachments and linings.

Bugatti has always earned appreciation for its limited edition Veyrons, and the new LINEA Vincer� is no exception. Done by German tuner Mansory, the Veyron LINEA Vincer� comes with a refined power engine. An advanced cooling system and exhaust system produces 1109 hp and 1310 Nm. Exterior modifications include a new front fascia, smaller hood, striking front apron, newly developed side skirts, a diffuser, larger air outlets and new forged wheels. The LED daytime running lights integrated in the front mount add to the overall aesthetics of the supercar. The interiors come with carbon fiber accents (we just love it), leather seating and trim and an LED ambient lighting system. Only three examples of this stunning special edition Veyron will be put into production.

Carbon Fiber Mansory Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

Mansory puts the carbon into the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. Most of the car was replaced with carbon fiber, including the front/rear apron, doors, bhood, and wings. The SUV was also widened by 80mm. Mansory uses dry carbon fiber, which uses an autoclave to form the carbon, allowing for the strongest and lightest carbon fiber available. Four extra headlights were added, which give an interesting look the car:

The turbo size was increased, along with a tuned engine management system and an exhaust. This gives the V8 an impressive 710hp, allowing for a 187mph top speed. The wheels were replaced with 23�11 wheels, that are tucked closer to the wheel well due to an air suspension that can lower the SUV by 45mm.

Just because Mansory spent all that time updating the exterior and what�s under the hood, doesn�t mean they stopped there. The interior uses flawless leather skins that are finished by hand. All of the seats are replaced with four individual seats with carbon fiber shells. There are two monitors in the center console, as well as a DVD player and laptop with internet connection.

We�ve yet to see pricing info released yet.

When you combine the ravenous demand for luxury goods with the squandered riches of Middle East, there�s simply no end to the potential for outright hysteria. Replacing everything that is luxurious, cocooned right in the land of the luxury cars, Golden Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by Hamann sets the road ablaze. Finished in gold, the Ferrari features a new bodykit, subtle Hamann spoilers, an extra 53 HP, new wheels and hp.

Indeed, this highly pimped gilded Ferrari would have been a miss where the royals roam. Check out the pics after the jump:

Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon Watch up for $1.300.000

via Born Rich by Nandini on 7/9/09

For those who have the riches to deck their wrist with a Patek Philippe watch, here�s a chance to own one of the rare Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon watches at SoKoBe, a high end jewelry company. Though all Patek Philippe watches are special, sky moon is special for a number of reasons. This double-faced wristwatch is one of the most complex wristwatches ever made. One side features a perpetual calendar and the other side features a celestial view with displays of star movement, moon orbit and moon phases.

Sapphire crystals on the watch are used to show the motion of the moon, moon phases and the sky chart. The timepiece is made up of about 694 handmade pieces, and each gear is hand polished, which reduces friction and adds to the watch�s precision and longevity. Only two are produced each year, which makes it truly a collector�s edition. The watch is available on sale for a $1.3M, which too is a special price for the recession, otherwise the watch has a history of going up for as much as $1.7 million in a Hong Kong auction, and the watch�s value will continue to increase over time. So, anyone care to make an investment here?
