Australian born designer Marc Newson takes his ‘industrial artist’ title very seriously. Having designed practical and functional goods such as chairs, cars and planes, he’s also taken his design skills and applied them to an idea that’s well beyond this earth, as he even designed a spaceship. It’s not all grand-scale and limited edition designing […]

Based on their handsome and minimal BR01 style, Bell & Ross loves to tweak their landmark design with unique — and sometimes dubious — modifications. Just see their Red Radar, Twelve O’Clock, Casino and headturning Airborne II Skull & Crossbones Wristwatch. Their latest timepiece is modeled after an airplane’s horizon gauge, referencing Bell & Ross’ significant […]

Well, I suppose this was inevitable. I know people are getting sick of the whole Charlie Sheen thing already, but really — have you ever known a public meltdown in human history better suited for a dubstep remix? Me thinks not. The whole Adonis DNA, tiger blood, being from another terrestrial plane rant — it’s […]

A good place to start would be the CardSharp credit card-sized folding knife, a handy blade that you can fold […]

Waco Classic Aircraft hopes to revive those glory days of aviation with two new open-cockpit biplanes that have all the looks of the classic […]

Honda entered the American market on the strength of its lightweight motorcycles, an invasion that almost heralded doom for Harley Davidson (and did sound the eventual death knell for most British manufacturers like BSA, Norton and Triumph). Then in the 1960s they introduced their first small cars into the Land of the Muscle Car and […]

Remember that Terrafugia Flying Car we talked about last summer? They promised it was more than wistful ambitions and barely functioning proof of concepts, hoping to enter production as early as this year. Well apparently they’re one step closer, finally releasing the production version of their Transition Flying Car, which they’ve given a significant facelift. […]
