Terms like “luxury” and “eco-friendly” seem to be getting along better these days as we see them coming under one roof to render the most opulent yet green alternatives. The Trident Iceni highlights the clever fusion of these two features. Designed and manufactured by Phil Bevan, it is empowered by a Duramax turbo diesel engine with 550 horsepower at 3800 rpm. This enables the Iceni to zoom off to over 200 miles per hour. Also it can cover 2,000 miles on a full-fueled tank. This green two-seater sports car can go from 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds and deliver up to 100mpg. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/trident-iceni-a-green-speeding-sports-car-for-150000/

Hermes and Didier launch H Box, the nomadic artcraft

Art has usually been unavailable to people isolated from urban centers. We are talking about high art, which gets showcased only in major world capitals. On this note, fashion brand Hermes and architect Didier Fiuza Faustino have unveiled an artcraft, the H Box. This high-art mobile museum is a nomadic object, which was inspired by 1970s spacecrafts. Inside the H Box one could watch art movies and avant garde productions by chic and noir directors and producers such as Su-Mei Tse, Yael Bartana, Dora García, Judit Kúrtag, etc. The H Box is flexible enough to travel around the world, figuratively of course, and the next stop seems to be Yokohama, Japan. from.http://www.bornrich.org/entry/hermes-and-didier-launch-h-box-the-nomadic-artcraft/

The Modern Alchemist: Giving your Saloon the Midas Touch

The literariness defines “alchemy” as an entirely different domain, but for the rich who like adorning their high-priced cars with a Midas touch, Alchemist would just the company to help them conquer their dream. The Prestige and Performance Motor Show, MPH London sees many of the big names from the opulent world showcasing their cars in an extravaganza where the rich flaunt their wealth with a candid attitude. The same affair would showcase the brilliance of the Alchemist from the motoring world which would bring to the floor a 24 karat gold plated Aston Martin DBS with a platinum leaf. The MPH would showcase big and grand cars from the Ferraris to the Maseratis but the gold-plated Aston Martin DBS would make for an entirely different entity. The brainchild of a Frenchman residing in London, Alchemist purely specializes in endowing every car roof with a Midas touch and thus makes the rich happy. After the event one would recognize Jacques Blanc as an alchemist for the rich, who just turns every car he touches to gold.
