Floating Seahorse Boat By Kleindienst Group



As part of the incredible Heart of Europe development that’s currently being built in Dubai’s Persian Gulf, the Floating Seahorse is an unique housing project that includes no less than 42 floating properties.
The marine-style retreats flaunt 1,700 square feet of living space each and they rise up above the water on two levels, while another level is under the waves.
Inside, the owners are able to enjoy amazing comforts. The main floors comprise open plan living areas, kitchens and dining spaces, while the upper levels include mini bars, outdoor showers, Jacuzzis with glass bottoms and other high-end amenities. The underwater levels are reserved for the master bedrooms, which boast large glass windows that offer exquisite panoramas of the marine world.
Construction for these houses is scheduled to commence during this year’s second half. The project should be completed by 2016.

Mercedes-Benz Presents Concept GLC Coupé

In a flowing transition, Mercedes-Benz lands the next coupé: the Concept GLC Coupé is a near-production-standard study that carries the successful GLE Coupé formula over into a more compact segment.
The dynamically expressive show car combines typical stylistic features of a coupé with the sensually pure design idiom of coming SUV generations. This emotively appealing fusion is further enriched with details that are strong in character. A twin-blade radiator grille, powerdomes on the bonnet and a four-pipe exhaust system form an aesthetic contrast to the harmonious, almost organic main body section. On the other hand, elements from the rugged off-road world, such as enormous 21-inch tyres, front and rear underbody protection, increased ground clearance and side running boards, are indicative of the off-road performance potential of the Concept GLC Coupé.


The same successful blend of the multifunctional SUV and the emotively appealing coupé world of Mercedes-Benz that was so enthusiastically welcomed with the GLE Coupé is now repeated with the Concept GLC Coupé. However, the near-production-standard show car inhabits a more compact segment, as demonstrated by the external length of 4.73-metres and the 2.83-metre wheelbase. These two dimensions, together with the striking and muscular main body section, elongated greenhouse and large 21-inch wheels, provide an ideal basis for the typical, almost dramatic proportions of the sportily youthful coupé generation with the characteristic off-road touch.

Akrapovic Full Moon Motorbike Concept

Those of you who attended the Bad Salzuflen Custom Bike Show in Germany recently got the chance to admire this exquisite motorcycle concept up close.
The Akrapovic Full Moon Motorbike was created in partnership with Dreamachine Motorcycles, and it is a powerful and great-looking two-wheeler.  Following in the footsteps of the Morsus concept as far as power goes, the Full Moon is equipped with the same S&S Knucklehead 1,524cc engine that’s mated to a pair of customized exhausts.
The bike also comes with a hydraulic suspension system that allows it to stand up straight without the need of a kick stand, and with an automated steering system that reduces the amount of visible cables near the handlebars. Apart from its futuristic-looking rear-end, the Full Moon’s most eye-catching feature is the large carbon and aluminum shield that covers its 30-inch front wheel. The shield definitely looks similar to a beautiful full moon, hence the bike’s name.

BMW i9 Design Concept by Carlos Aliaga Pastor

Rumors of a high-powered BMW supercar, slotted directly above the techy i8, have been floating around for a while now. However, we’ve yet to hear any conclusive evidence as to its arrival. For some Bimmer fans, that “maybe” just isn’t good enough.

3D design artist Carlos Aliaga Pastor is one such fan. For his master’s degree thesis project he took it upon himself to craft what he thinks a next-gen BMW supercar would look like. He built an actual model, named it the i9, and it’s quite the spectacle, wouldn’t you agree?
According to the project details, his proposed i9 pulls its design inspiration from nature, mainly almonds and hammerhead sharks – no, we’re not making that up. 
The car’s roofline has a distinctive almond-like appearance, and there’s no getting around the aggressive and streamline selachian body. Up front, the i9′s snouted fascia supports a low-slung diffuser and suspended fender flares. Around back, pronounced air intakes grace its haunches, followed by a tucked and minimalist rear end. Inside, Aliaga’s designs call for an instrument panel and layout similar to the BMW i8.

It’s doubtful that a production BMW i9 would ever go to such extravagant lengths

Ferrari F80 Concept by Adriano Raeli

The coolest Ferrari F80 concept you will ever see.





It’s called the Ferrari F80 Concept and created by Art Center graduate Adriano Raeli. It looks like a beefier version of LaFerrari only with each and every element of the exterior design made to be an absolute treat to the eyes.



Adriano Raeli is from Italy and recently graduated from Art Center College of Design with a degree in Transportation Design. He loves design among many other things and cars have been a major passion of him since he was a little kid. According to the description he gives on his concept, the F80 Concept aims to bring the most authentic F1 experience and performance to the road without compromising the brand’s class and elegance of form.

The vehicle is designed with Formula 1 architecture in mind with a blend of Ferrari’s LeMans heritage. Aerodynamics play an important role as the overall frontal area is decreased by the air channels that have been carved between the main body and the wheel arches. F1 A-arm suspension configuration is clearly visible through these openings. Other details such as the centralized exhaust are meant to decrease drag. The staggered seating positions of both driver and passenger are also closely related to that of F1 seating laying positions.
