BMW I8 Concept
BMW announced the creation of the i8 plug-in hybrid last week.
BMW i8 is complete new build, unlike the former 2 where are based on existing platforms. Like its i3 cousin, the i8 employed the LifeDrive architecture, compartmentalized design which incorporated lightweight composite of aluminum and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) as base. With this structural upgrade, BMW promised the i8 to dash from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.6 seconds with only a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder engine and a set of electric motor at the front. One other unique integration is the special app on any smartphone platforms.
Keep a look out for the i8 in Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol.

The Art of FLIGHT: The Metal Trailer 2
I can’t wait for this to come out in September. The first video ‘That’s It. That’s All’ changed the way I snowboarded. I’m sure from the two trailers that this is one’s going to be even more mind blowing. Track is by Arch Enemy – “Vengeance Is Mine”.

Food for thought
This is an area of design I’ve never really thought of, but imagine if you got the opportunity to create your own candy bar. There’s quite a lot of elements that you’d have to consider to it. How big would it be? What ingredients would you use? What shape would it be? How would you package it? What would you name it? It’s an interesting thought and has got me thinking outside the box and an area I’d like to investigate more. Sorry if this has made you hungry.

Hulk Baby
I stumbled across this fantastic foot high Hulk Baby figurine by Ron English while mountain biking through Hong Kong yesterday. The gallery wasn’t open where it was on display in the window, so I’m going to get back there this week to have a better look at the detail and maybe buy it if it’s not too expensive. Sorry for the ratty photo. I’ll take some better pics when I’m at the gallery again.

BMW i3 Concept
Could this be the future for BMW? It’s exciting to see car companies foresight for the future of automotive technology, their considerations to the environment and of course the looks of future models.
The i3 concept is powered by a 170-horsepower electric motor with the ability to propel it from 0 to 60 mph in under 8 seconds, the nimble errands runner’s liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery bank is at 80% charge capacity with only an hour at the charging station. Underneath is a brand new manufacturing methodology, the LifeDrive concept. Compartmentalized in Life aspect, where a composite of aluminum and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) makes up a strong, lightweight cell for the passengers. As for the Drive aspect, the battery bank, transmission, and drive-train are all underneath the Life cell, this layout enables BMW engineers to free up more space. Zero-emission and a drive range of 150 kilometers, or about 93 miles between charges, BMW has an ambitious goal of launch the i3 Concept in 2013.
