With a wink and a nod to their compact 2002 Touring of 1971, BMW have announced the new 1-Series coupé to the world. When the original four door 1-series was launched back in 2004 it drew plaudits for its ability to carve through the curves but won no prizes for the rather cramped back seats. The coupé therefore makes more sense, a compact two-seater with occasional rear accommodation that broadens the car’s appeal in the fast-expanding ‘premium compact’ sector. It’s also notable for incorporating BMW’s EfficientDynamics programme, a brace of fuel-saving innovations the company is starting to roll out across its entire product line. Due to be be built in BMW’s Zaha Hadid-designed factory in Leipzig, the 1-series coupé is a welcome return to the compact, yet chic, car.

Not only is this a pretty cool object to put on the wall, it’s also a perfect Shaving mirror! More Here

Giorgio Armani is a name synonymous with fashion, style and design. Not only has the Italian designer carved out a sturdy niche at the top of the fashion field, he is now chartered on a path to world domination.

Naturally we’ve been keeping a close eye on Armani/Casa, his home furnishings range that has long sated our lust for sleek contemporary interiors, but the man from Milan isn’t stopping there.
Armani’s newest venture, and no doubt another success to be, is his foray into the world of hospitality with the current development of Armani Hotels and Resorts. Eventually aiming to have a presence in the world’s major cities and resort destinations, Armani’s first fashion forward hotel is to open in Dubai – a city whose appetite for big designer names will no doubt play a welcoming host to such a style conscious concept.

Housed within the Burj Dubai building, set to be the world’s tallest commercial and residential tower, the luxury hotel will offer guests the chance to live a complete Armani lifestyle, from luxuriating in the tranquil spa to eating off porcelain Armani plates in either of the hotel’s gourmet restaurants.

With an air of modern sophistication, each room has been given a bespoke look that has been personally overseen by the man himself. With planned projects in Milan, London and New York, the Armani universe is set to grow into a comprehensive lifestyle brand where style is very much the operative word. More here

The H2R is the most recent incarnation of BMW’s ongoing Hydrogen research program, and is the 16th edition in their Art Car Collection. Not only merely a work of grand artistic proportions, the research vehicle has already achieved nine records for hydrogen-powered cars on the high-speed of track of Miramas in France.

Featuring a combustion engine, the H2R prototype can accelerate from 0-62mph in six seconds, achieving a top speed of over 186mph. Further to the prototype, BMW have manufactured the Hydrogen 7 - a hybrid and petrol road going car, 100 of which have been produced so far.

The Hydrogen 7 is the first virtually emission-free hydrogen powered luxury saloon in the world and has been designed for every day use. The engine, suspension and body are all based on the BMW 760i and 760Li Saloons, but at the same time the Hydrogen 7 features a dual-mode twelve-cylinder combustion power unit that can be run on either liquid-hydrogen or conventional gasoline. In fact, one of the most impressive features of the Hydrogen 7 is the ability to switch between the two whilst driving via a button on the steering wheel. In addition it doesn’t cause any noticeable changes to performance or engine noise.

The Hydrogen 7 and H2R demonstrate the effectiveness of liquid hydrogen in automotive design and is BMW’s fuel of choice for zero emissions. Although liquid hydrogen has to be kept at minus 252 degrees Celsius in a double walled vacuum tank, it has a higher energy density than hydrogen gas and none of the disposable difficulties of electric batteries.

In fact, the technology employed by BMW on the Hydrogen 7 works. and it works well; but it is taking this to the mass market that could prove tricky. An entire worldwide network of hydrogen fuelling stations is now required, which may take some time to put in place. However, a glimmer of hope can be found in the sunshine state of California, where they are in the process of building a hydrogen highway from the North to the South, encouraging more of it’s citizens to actively participate in reducing damaging fuel emissions.
