The interior of the car comes with a suave bitter chocolate coloring that was inspired by Colette's Labrador, Oscar. It also features diamond turned road wheels as well as a race collection front bumper. The car will be available for a retail price of around 48,000 euros. Here's a closer look at the new "consumer offering" of Aston Martin (given that Aston Martin will only be making 14 models initially).

The interior of the car sports stainless steel hand formed door latches on the inner door panels. The "Cygnet & Colette" brand boot badging that is hand enameled by Thomas Fattorini and the quilted Alcantara Sun Visors all compliment the beautifully quilted leather doors and seat inserts. The back seats are quilted blue leather occasional cushions and the "Cygnet & Colette" brand logo that appears on the satellite navigation start up. An original "Cygnet and Colette" key ring that is that is made from solid aluminum and blue enameling also comes along with the car.

Marek Reichman, The creative director for Aston Martin said that it was only perfect sense that Aston Martin and Colette collaborated on a car since they managed to blend modernity and innovation with the Cygnet car. It only made sense that the two companies made this piece of automotive fashion for city living.

More than the functionality of the car, Aston Martin and Colette both focused more on the external design of the car and therefore took initiative towards the colors, materials and styling of the car.

The car is a top of the line luxury class car that comes fully equipped with a highly developed bi-turbo engine by the name of AMG V8. It has an output power level of up to 557 hp that produces about 800 Nm of torque power.

BMW M3 DTM, M Series Concept Car

The BMW M3 DTM, M Series Concept Car, is one of the fourth generation of sporty cars that uses the most impressive technology that the BMW M series has to offer. Since autumn of last year, BMW Motorsport has been developing the DTM version of the BMW M series model. Standard components have become compulsory according to the new DTM regulations.

BMW-M3-DTM 2012

This is only to ensure that production costs of the vehicle will remain low as compared to their other top Motorsport categories. Despite the stipulation of cost cutting procedures, engineers have been able to apply their technical know how to the resources that have been placed at their disposal by the BMW company.

The result of this narrow lined work is a spectacular piece of art. This racing car is bound to blow the minds of DTM fans since the car is equipped with a powerful V8 engine with an air restrictor, can generate up to 480 bhp. The car can move from 0-100 mph in about three seconds and also flaunts a high speed of 300 mph.

Dr. Klaus Draeger is a member of the board of management responsible for the development of the BMW M3 DTM Concept Car, who unveiled the car at Double Cone Building at Munich's BMW Welt. This is part of the DTM event in the Olympic stadium. BMW also presented at the event its two star drivers who will most definitely be wearing the company colors as of next season. These drivers are Augusto Farfus and Andy Priaulx. Dr. Draeger said that it was good to see that the DTM project picked up speed quite fast. He hopes that the company can pick up production car racing in 2012 where they had left off in the past.

Porsche Design P'6520 Compass Watch Remake Priced At $6,000

Porsche Design P’6520 Compass Watch Remake Priced At $6,000.  Porsche design has gone retro (yet again), with the release of the Porsche Design P'6520 Compass Watch. The original Compass watch was made with a measurement of 38 millimeters in aluminum.

Porsche Design P'6520 Compass Watch

Porsche Design P'6520 Compass Watch

However, the modern model is a 42 millimeter wide titanium watch. It also has a stronger and harder metal case and has a PVD coating  that is superior to the original model's, this is only because the use of PVD coatings and Titanium was still very new in the '70s when the original model had come out. However, today's methods of using the two are a lot more mature and therefore have resulted in a far superior quality of the Porsche Design Compass Watch.

The case of the watch was first sandblasted before the PVD coating could be put. The resultant look is a glossy one with an amazingly smooth tactile experience. The feel is something that you'll have to experience yourself as the watch feels absolutely wonderful to just run your finger over with. The dial of the watch lifts up to reveal a mirror (which Porsche Design guarantees is scratch resistant) as well as a traditional liquid compass. The case itself is around 50 meters water resistant and the crystal on the watch is of course sapphire.

Porsche Design, however will only be releasing around 911 models of the watch and the price range is around $6,000. We really liked this model and hope to see what Porsche Design has to offer us in the future.

Bentley Continental GT Mulliner, A Class of its Own

The specifications package of the Bentley Mulliner is nothing new to the Bentley Company, but there are still quite a few features that separate it from other classy cars that are out there. This particular model is characterized by its uniquely restyled front bumper lower splitter.

It also has strakes that are conveniently adjusted into the front intake grilles, a rear diffuser and side extension blades. All these are created from carbon fiber for those who truly appreciate the high quality of carbon fiber fittings. In addition to this, one can also opt for the carbon fiber door mirror cowls, rear spoiler and front wing vent bezels.

Bentley Continental GT Mulliner

As if there wasn't enough carbon fiber, The Bentley Mulliner also comes with optional black painted, 21 inch wheels that comprise of alloy.

Designer Raul Pires says "The Mulliner Styling Specification, with its sharper lines and darker, lower appearance subtly underscores the extrovert, flamboyant nature of our new Coupe. It delivers a more personalized, sportive interpretation of a luxurious, refined GT."

The one reason why the Bentley Mulliner is a unique package is that the Company puts the same car through the same rigorous standards as the rest of their cars. They went as far as to test the Mulliner in V-Max and wind tunnel tests.

After all the additional fitting of the car, the bill one would be paid for getting "Mullinered" would be close to $29,659 – This is on top of the base price of the car which is $189,900 of course.

MacBook Air Vs. Acer Ultrabook

MacBook Air Vs. Acer Ultrabook, Intel recently released the specifications of its new "Ultrabook", however a lot of Mac owners weren't too impressed as it resembled the Mac Book a little too similarly. This is because it boasts of a "new" razor thin design as well as an instant on from sleep along with an extraordinarily long battery life. As good as these specifications might sound, there's nothing that makes it a copy cat of the MacBook Air which was released last fall and is still managing to find its way into more and more executives' hands.

MacBook Air

MacBook Air

Acer Ultrabook

Acer Ultrabook

The Ultrabook is most definitely much faster than most other books as it has Core i5 and i7 processors which are way ahead of the MacBook's Core 2 Duo Processors. It also has a support for lightning fast internet connections.

Acer has plans of putting the Ultrabook up on shelves by this year, most probably sometime at the end of this year. However they might have a tight competitor again – Apple. Rumors are that Apple will be releasing an upgrade to the MacBook Air and which will see it using Sandy Bridge i5 and i7 processors as well as Thunderbolt connectivity.

However, Apple products have always been a much pricier option. So in that aspect the upgrade to the MacBook Air may not sell as much as the Acer Ultrabook. So as long as Apple do not raise the price of their upgrade on the MacBook Air, It is safe to say that the upgrade will be the attractive eye catcher for almost all executives on the go. Just like the previous MacBooks.

The Dell Streak 10 Pro, To Sell In China First

Dell Streak 10 Pro

Dell Streak 10 Pro

The Dell Slide has been showcased by Dell primarily because, US carrier control and Android's immaturity was the main reason for the forthcoming release of the Dell Streak 10 Pro. The 10 inch wide tablet will make its opening debut in China first instead of the US or Europe. Dell Streak 10 Pro will have a 1280×800 display; it will run NVIDIA's Tegra 2 Processor and a 5 MP rear camera. There is also an SD card slot, a front facing camera, and HDMI and USB port, as well as full 1080p support. The entire device weighs around 700 grams, and will also be offered with the optional dock with USB host, HDMI, Ethernet as well as other business friendly functionality.

"This is not an either-or for us. This is a choice about where is the best place to take our story and avoids a bunch of the inhibitors and barriers to success that we've seen in the U.S. market … Things like confusion over what exactly Android is bringing to the table [and] an immature platform and roll out of devices that weren't quite ready yet. Even simple things like distribution channels that are controlled by the carriers with pricing models that are completely upside down to adoption."

- John Thode, Vice President/ Manager of

Mobility, DELL

Thode at the same seminar, didn't mention the exact release date of the Dell Streak but he said that it would be sometime around the middle of 2012. It looks like that Dell is tying to swim upstream by first selling in China as the growth rates have shown to be much more interesting there.

Sex Life Coming to an End? Here are a Few Tips

Has your sex life come to an abrupt end? If this is so, your first action would be to terminate the relationship. But what if you're stuck in a life long commitment and ending the relationship is not really an option? Ending the relationship should only be the last step if all else fails. The best thing to do is to instead spice things up. Most people are cornered when it comes to this situation, so here are a few tips to get you started.

your-sex-life

Engaging in foreplay would be a huge turn on for both you and your partner. What do you do as soon as you get into bed? Do you immediately get down to business? We suggest that you explore your intimacy by being a little more provocative and getting your partner used to a bit of foreplay rather than the usual business. Remember that foreplay doesn't always occur in the bedroom. You can also call them from work every now and then or send them a text message.

Sex Tips

The second aspect of spicing up your life in the bedroom is about being spontaneous. Don't ask your partner if they're in the mood for something else. Just lead on. For example if you're in the mood, then don't ask your partner to come to the bedroom, just lead them there.

Explore the lines of you're intimacy with your partner by discussing your fantasies with them. One of the main reasons for dissatisfaction in the bedroom is because one of then partners, if not both are not satisfied with their partner's performance in bed. No matter how dirty you might think your fantasy might be, there's no harm in clearing the air with your partner.

The fourth and final method is to be a bit more experimental in bed. Discussing this before hand is a must just to make sure that you're partner understands your improvisations in bed. Don't feel shy to try new things whether its role playing or different positions.

The Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, American Muscle Vs German Technology

The Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, American Muscle Vs. German Technology. The new 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is at the same standards as the new 2012 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Coupe, the BMW M3 as well as the Audi RS5 (which is said to be released in the States in 2012). But is 556 hp of American motor technology really ready to take on their German counterparts?

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

The CTS-V Coupe is a considerable step up from the Standard Cadillac CTS Coupe. Visually, it is like the CTS-V Sedan but the CTS-V Coupe still comes with distinct characteristics of its own. The rear and front fascias of the vehicle have been detailed to give it a sportier feel. The car is quite spacious on the inside all courtesy of a raised center section in the roof. Another unique feature of the CTS-V Coupe is a Grille that doubles the air intake volume of the car. The car uses Michelin Pilot Sport 2 performance tires which run around 19 inch cast aluminum wheels. The CTS V Coupe most definitely has outstanding features as compared to its mentioned German counterparts.

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

As far as the interior is concerned, it's the car that every performance enthusiast ought to try particularly those who like a luxurious yet sporty feel. The car has sporty recaro seats which are stitched. It also comes with a 5.1 Bose Surround system, Caddy's awesome GPS system, as well as a 40 gigabyte hard drive that comes with XM Radio as well as XM Nav Traffic. Its engine is a 6.2 liter supercharged V8 – 556 hp at 6,100 rpm and can go from 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds flat.

Cadillac has once again proven that it can scare its German counterparts with their American "muscle". This is primarily because the CTS-V Coupe will remove any misconceptions that you may have about Cadillac. The CTS-V Coupe starts at $63,660 and we think that it's worth every penny.
