Cars and computers go together like, peanut butter and jelly. So it’s only fitting some of the worlds most forward thinking designers over at BMW teamed up with Thermaltake to give computer cases a whirl. The product of this mash up results in the ‘Level 10′ Computer Case and it’s simply; amazing. It may not necessarily be setting any trends or even be available for purchase – but it’s cool to look at none-the-less.
COBB Tuning has outdone itself with the COBB 3” Downpipe for the 2007-2008 MazdaSpeed 3, which is a study in engineering design and artistic execution. The COBB 3” Downpipe replaces a very restrictive element in the Mazdaspeed3 exhaust system. Considerable effort was spent designing a flow path with the fewest number of direction changes and minimal degrees of bend in order to eliminate restrictions. This beautifully fabricated downpipe delivers significantly improved exhaust flow, resulting in faster turbo response time and power gains across the entire rev range, while still protecting the environment with its highly efficient custom catalytic converter.

KW suspensions announces their stainless steel constructed coil-over for the Smart ForTwo. Two Variants of the KW suspension line up will be available.
The KW coilover suspensions for the Smart ForTwo enables the owner to lower their vehicle 5-30mm on the front axle and 20-40mm on the rear axle and retains enough travel to handle maximum load and dynamic loads during driving. Variant 1 with its preset dampening rates permits customized lowering of the suspension and creates an optimized balance of sportiness, comfort and safety. Variant 2 is the ideal system for sporty drivers, who also wish to make modifications in ride height and rebound dampening. Drivers are able to adapt the suspension setup to their driving style.
Important characteristics such as safety, quality and performance are all taken into consideration with each KW coilover design. Each vehicle application is specifically designed and engineered for a proper range of motion, min/max weight loads and min/max lowering. All these requirements are met while retaining its performance handling characteristics. Each KW coilover suspension is produced with unique stainless steel “inox-line” technology. The stainless steel construction internally and externally provides long term durability and corrosion resistance from the elements.
All KW coilovers pass stringent German TUV safety & quality testing standards. Each kit is TUV approved

Switzerland is good for a number of things… Chocolate, Watches, Non-Interventionism and of course the Geneva Motor Show. The latter of which is putting a number of high end and extremely desirable automobiles smack dab in our collective face. Case is point is pictured about; The Aston Martin One-77. Now, I can only speculate about what ‘One-77′ actually means; but Aston Martin is saying the reason behind this moniker nods at the ‘One of 77′ being built. Yes, Aston Martin is only building 77 of these $1.4 million dollar vehicles.
So what does $1.4 million get you? How about a 700HP 7.3L V12 tuned by the boys at Cosworth, a body that’s crafted entirely of carbon fiber, a six-speed sequential gearbox and a set of carbon ceramic brakes to keep things in check. All this jargon culminates into an Aston Martin with a 3.5 second 0-60 time and a top speed north of 200mph.
