Didn’t Wonder Woman have one of these in her ice castle? Okay, maybe not. With this ultramodern design of glass & metal, it could be from the future. In actuality, the G1 glass top pool table comes from Australia-based, Nottage Design. Maybe you’re wondering how the balls will play on this top? The glass is coated with a material called Vitrik for a familiar (and quiet) felt-top feel.

It looks like an appliance from the Jetson’s kitchen or a fragment UFO part…maybe part of a hotrod motor from the 50s. But, no. It’s actually a Kees van der Westen ‘Speedster’ Espresso Coffee Machine. These Dutch masters of fine coffee-making machinery are known not just for quality brews – but inspired design. This machine is handmade to order in the Netherlands & requires professional installation. A true coffee geek connoisseur would expect nothing less.
Maserati’s GranCabrio is the upmarket Italian automaker’s first four-seater convertible. That means you can impress two more people when you drop the top going 25 miles-an-hour. Seriously though, all the refinement expected in an exotic Italian sportscar found in the now roomier model. Leather, woodgrain and integrated nav systems. But maybe more impactful is the hefty 4.7 liter V-8 under the hood pumping over 400 horses. When you snap this thing into Sport Mode, passengers will really have to hang onto their hats.
After nearly two years of sniper photos showing blacked-out cars on the test track, Mercedes has finally released the 2011 SLS. Inspired by the ’50s 300SL Gullwing, this modern machine really only shares the Gullwing doors and Benz badge with its predecessor. Everything else about this performance super-car is brand new. Wide, low and long, with a 6.2 liter V8 producing over 560 horses, it should technically be classified as a missile.
You thought the boys at the office would be impressed when you drove up in your new Audi A4 Avant. Especially, when you explained what Avant meant. But, if you rolled this Audi-designed foosball table into the back office, they’d be blowing off the rest of the afternoon. Impressive, yes. It’s the same classic pub game, but dipped in Audi detailing – all brushed aluminum finish & sleek German styling. This table would keep soccer talk going long after the World Cup is done and gone.
This camera looks so good because the picture you’re looking at was taken with another Alpa 12 TC. That’s a joke, but why not joke? The average Joe can’t even appreciate what this camera can do. The Alpa 12 TC is pro-quality equipment, obviously. The modular design allows it to shoot film or digital with a whopping 60MP file size – plus, it’s fully integrated to work with the full range of Alpa lenses. Even though you could do absolutely nothing with it, this camera does it all.
The economy’s in shambles. Big business is tightening the belt. Perks & luxuries are a thing of the past. Nice headlines, eh? Don’t be fooled. Corporate fat cats are still spending the kind of money that makes P-Diddy blush. What better way to “close the deal” than to send a potential client off on a private excursion in a jet with a deck? This isn’t the 50s – a hooker and a smile won’t bring in a 9-figure deal anymore.
Ecosse’s Heretic makes Harley Davidson look like a bed wetting sissy. Toting a massive, inter-cooled 2 liter 2,150cc engine on an all-titanium chassis with carbon fiber wheels. This beast was born from an affection for airplanes & Euro sport cars – leaving conformity in the dust.
The Widowmaker just got deadlier. Porsche unveiled the GT2 RS – a monster of a machine…scratch that…. the Godzilla of street-legal speedsters. Check out these impressive stats – 620 hp through the rear wheels – standstill to 124mph in under ten. You guessed it, this Carpocalypse is extremely limited – 500 to be exact. Dropping in August for a mere $245k. However think positive – you’ll be able to get your hands on an older model for a great price when the owner trades up.
Watch the video.
