The Italian designer Federico Fiorentino created the Belafonte superyacht concept with a contemporary exterior that also features many traditional elements. The profile of the 164-footer is svelte and aggressive, with a low-slung top deck. The exterior’s open areas at the back of the main and upper decks give the yacht an appearance not unlike that of an offshore powerboat. Depending on the choice of engine, Fiorentino estimates that the Belafonte will be able to reach speeds as high as 24 knots. Despite its head-turning profile, the Belafonte never crosses into futuristic design—a category that can appear dated after a few years. Instead, its simple, classic lines, mahogany-covered handles, and stainless-steel grille on the bow should keep it looking contemporary.
“We use strong contrasts between classic and modern designs and try to combine aggressiveness and elegance,” says Fiorentino, whose favorite space aboard the yacht is the bow area. He notes that the stainless-steel nose is reminiscent of a 1960s Alfa Romeo radiator grille.
The Belafonte’s interior can accommodate up to 10 guests in five staterooms, including a full-beam, 1,000-square-foot owner’s suite, which includes a separate office and studio, a folding balcony, and two walk-in closets. An expansive saloon and formal dining areas are located on the main deck. The semi-enclosed upper deck has an open aft area with a sky lounge.
Fiorentino estimates that the Belafonte will cost about $26.4 million, with a build time of about 2.5 years. “The yacht is comparable to a Porsche or Aston Martin—sports cars with an elegant touch, [and] modern lines mixed with classic elements,” he says. “This yacht calls for the same type of person who would buy those cars.” (federicofiorentino.it)
With a
luxurious 88-square-foot cabin and space to fit 20 passengers in
boardroom-style comfort, the Bell 525 Relentless is likely to make some
high-flyers seriously happy when it takes to the skies this year.
The
manufacturers of the state-of-the-art helicopter, Textron, are yet to
officially release a price but industry observers are listing it at a
whopping $15million for what looks effectively like a living
room that can fly just about anywhere.
Once
it flies for the first time a little behind schedule, the helicopter
will cruise at a maximum of 178 miles per hour and with its 2,4000-litre
fuel capacity be able to fly up to 575 miles without stopping.
The craft
is aimed to be a limo in the sky for offshore oil and operations and
also expects to be used for difficult search-and-rescue and firefighting
missions due to its huge capacity and improved control in tough
conditions.,
'The
Bell 525 Relentless is a marvel of modern technology that will provide
our customers capability beyond expectations,' Fred Hees, CEO of BBM Inc
which is one of the first companies to purchase the 525, told helicopterinvestor.com.

If you
thought you've seen everything there is to do with the iPhone 6 model
and its golden, luxurious variations with precious stones, you're
wrong. Yet this is the first part of the year
and we still have plenty of time for a breakthrough in this field. Now
it appears Vorsteiner company that does not want to be left out of the
group of brands that have luxuriously modified the iPhone 6. They have
just announced special series, which can be the most luxurious phone
world with pure gold outer shell, which is the work of Gold & Co
London company. Otherwise, the well-known London-based company has
cooperated with the Burj Al Arab, to create a limited edition phone for
15th anniversary.
Vorsteiner company normally specializes
in luxury and sophisticated pieces that we see in cars A-class. They are
known for designing incredible package for BMW, Audi, Mercedes,
Porsche, Land Rover and others, and now they appeared in the sphere of
luxury mobile phones. The phone that they presented, on its rear part
has its triangular emblem, and it will come in a specially designed box
Gold & Co, together with the certificate.
The price of this issue has not yet been
published, but I really doubt that it is important to those who decide
to own something like this. Although Vorsteiner gold iPhone 6 is only
one in a sea of customized Apple devices, it is really very special in
its own way.
