At the Beijing Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz just Replica Chopard watches unveiled a CLS Shooting Break concept that looks to us like a frontal attack on BMW’s 5-Series GT. The moniker, which is usually spelled “shooting brake”, does not refer to the braking system but originated with custom built two-door luxury estate cars altered for use by hunters and other sportsmen such as golfers, equestrians, and polo players requiring easy access to larger storage areas than offered by the typical automobile trunk. Of course, in true German fashion Mercedes insists its spelling is in fact the correct one.The CLS Shooting Break has four doors instead of two, but the utility of a two-door station wagon is questionable at best. And MB has kitted there’s out with a massive panoramic sunroof to boot. The stock engine for the CLS SB is expected to be a turbocharged and direct injected 3.5-liter V6 engine kicking out a bit more than 300 horsepower, with an optional turbocharged 4.6-liter V8 offering 435 horsepower and over 400 lb.-ft. of torque. The look to AMG to step in with a 5.5-liter V8 turbo Replica Chopard watches clocking 563 hp and 664 lb.-ft. of torque. We’ll wait for that one.
When Italian designer Mauro Lecchi unveiled his Lamborghini yacht concept this week, you could hear the sounds of hands smacking foreheads in studios across the world. We’ll ignore the cries of “Why didn’t I think of that?” however and proceed to give Lecchi’s ocean-going Lambo the once over. To begin with, Lecchi, who collaborated with Lamborghini’s own designers on the concept, made a careful study of the supercar’s automotive architecture with an eye towards adapting certain elements to a motor yacht. Eventually he hit upon the idea of basing the design around the rakish air intake on the Reventon – transforming it into a window for his purposes.The yacht has sizable intakes of its own as well, taking the concept to its logical conclusion. 15 metres long, 4 metres wide and 3.8 metres high, it’s meant to be constructed of carbon fibre and Kevlar. Power-wise it’s designed to house either twin 700 hp Volvo Penta IPS 900 diesels, twin 950 hp Seatek diesels, and or even triple 550 hp V12 – 60 ° Lamborghini petrol engines for a real fast ride. The cockpit features a pair of exterior decks aft, a double sofa, bar and entertainment center. The interior layout includes a full beam owner room with bath and separate shower, and a guest bedroom Replica Chopard watches with bathroom in the bow. We say build it.
