Bugatti FPG Par Hermes watch

Posted on September 14, 2008

It’s a big job when it comes to complimenting the new 2009 Bugatti Faubourg Par Hermes car and we say three is better than two.Â The partnership between Bugatti’s auto expertise and Hermes’ fashion authority resulted in the breathtaking 2009 FPG Par Hermes exotic, luxury sportscar.Â It seems Bugatti thought it was time to add a third party to the mix and push the project a little bit farther, we say in this case three is not a crowd.Â What we mean is that Bugatti and Hermes wanted to create a complimentary piece for the FPG car, so they linked up with Parmigiani.Â Parmigiani is a highly esteemed Swiss watch maker and the result is, well, a seriously insane watch!Â From the three fab marques comes the Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti watch, priced at $233,900.

One of the best features about this watch is that when your hands are on the wheel of your new Bugatti FPG Par Hermes car, you can look at the time convienently without twisiting your arm.Â The watch is available in 18-carat rose or brushed white gold version.Â The part we like even better is that the watch is extremely exclusive and only 20 timepieces will be sold.Â Those with the cash better act fast, it would be such a shame to have one without the other.

Bugatti Plus Hermes is Par Excellence. Luxury Sports Car.

Posted on September 13, 2008

We always thought the Bugatti marque was solitary perfection. Then just when we thought we knew all about perfection, Bugatti went and upstaged themselves. For the sake of some good old fashioned nostalgia and an 80 year old collaborative partnership with the fashion house of Hermes, Bugatti released a special edition Veyron sportscar. The special edition Veyron is the Faubourg Par Hermes car, in short the FPG Par Hermes. The name pays homage to the high-end label Hermes, whose historic headquarters sits at 24 rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré street.

The car features both interior and exterior upgrades but one aspect remains unchanged and that is the Bugatti Veyron’s powerplant. When Bugatti feels like they’ve harped on perfection at least they know it because the FPG Veyron’s mechanicals were left untouched. Thus the same Quad-Turbocharged 16 Cylinder (16.4) engine still produces 1001 Horsepower @ 6000 rpm and 922 pounds per feet of torque @ 2200 rpm. The FPG Par Hermes supercar will still top out at 253 miles per hour and do 0-60 mph in 2.46 seconds (62-0 mph in 2.3 sec).

A traditional two-tone chassis honors the 1924 Bugatti Type 35, from back when Hermes was doing the custom interiors for Ettore Bugatti. Key features are the exclusive color hood, which extends to the interior of the cockpit and re-emerges at the level of the rear wing. The front end of the luxury car has been slightly revamped as well, and the Hermès monogram has been added to the front grille. The eight-spoke, polished aluminum wheels also don the single H monogram and the fuel filler door is engraved with “Bugatti Veyron Fbg Par Hermès”.

The interior is all handstitched Hermès calfskin leather and has new internal door handles evocative of handles used on Hermès trunks. Also included is a Hermès wallet designed to fit inside the center console and a Hermès suitcase designed to fit inside the trunk.

In line with the Bugatti and Hermès heritage there are four color options which are “indigo blue and vermilion”, “indigo blue and lime green”, “black and garance red” and “Prussian blue and blue jean”.

It is seldom that we see the exotic car industry and high fashion world marry, let alone reproduce so flawlessly. For adrenaline highs of 200-plus and a piece of fashion history we say the Bugatti FPG Par Hermes is priceless. The duo is par excellence and we must have a Bugatti FPG for our personal collection. At the end of this year, for just $2.77 million you can add the exotic beaute to your collection too. To compliment your very own Bugatti FPG Par Hermes car (like it really needs any), you can get the matching Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti watch!

The High Price of Fashion: $22,900 Gucci Bag

Posted on September 10, 2008

We love everything luxurious especially high fashion.Â We feel that fashion should be expensive because that’s the criteria that keeps it exclusive and high end. Knock-offs are so passe and although we try to be animal friendly, PETA won’t persuade us to go fake anytime soon.Â There is nothing like the feeling of a great fur, leather, snake skin or in this case a crocodile skin bag.Â The new Gucci triangular Crocodile Pelham Shopper bag is pretty perfect and priced at $22,900.Â The Gucci bag is available in croc dark green and has braided snaps, a top-snap closure and zipped pockets.Â The bag is 19.3" x 5.1" x 11", which is an essential for any modern woman who lives out of her purse.Â The bigger the better!Â We aren’t diehard Gucci lovers but this bag is a piece of fashion we do respect.Â If you are a Gucci addict then this bag is a must have, it is both a high fashion and high status symbol.Â What more could a high status woman want?

For the Collegiate Bound Boy: All New 2009 BMW M3 Coupe

Posted on September 9, 2008

For the elect collegiate man with a need for speed listen up.Â You’re not quite ready for the BMW M5 just yet but the all new 2009 BMW M3 Coupe is a car to seriously keep in mind.Â The iconic Coupe has undergone a complete redesign and the new M3 has a revamped interior, exterior and engine.

There’s a lot to love about the new M3 which competes in the same market space as the Lexus IS-F, Audi RS5 and Mercedes CLK63 AMG.Â The "M" car now features a new revved-up V8 engine which is the lightest V8 in the world, evening weighing less than the old M3’s incline-six.Â What this really means is that the 2009 M3 delivers 420 horsepower from 4 liters and a maximum torque of 295 pound per feet at 3,900 rpm.Â What this really, really means is that the maximum engine speed is 8,300 rpm and the car is an insane powerhouse.Â Add to that a tuned suspension, six-speed manual transmission, a carbon fiber roof which cuts unnecessary weight and lowers the center of gravity.Â Plus, all the exterior modifications we always loved about the BMW M3, equals one awesome upgrade.

The production 18-inch wheels will also be offered in 19-inch alloy, similar to the Y-spoke from the M3 concept car.Â MSRP starts at $56,500 and that is excessively reasonable for a car that packs such a strong punch.Â We recommend all the upgrades in the premium and technology packages because they enhance the Coupe and, in our opinion, are necessary to get the full-on BMW M3 luxury driving experience.

Reach Out and Touch it: The New Blackberry Thunder

Posted on September 7, 2008

A true iPhone rival is looming in the new Blackberry touch screen.Â Blackberry continues to evolve since becoming the gold standard for mobile email and its about time they step up to the iPhone.Â This is amazing news for all you "crackberry-ers," and is the latest gossip on the heavily anticipated new touch Blackberry.Â The Blackberry Thunder, as it is now being called, is rumored to launch later this year. The Blackberry Thunder will be a full touchscreen with only 4 physical keys, send/end, a menu and back key.Â The model number for now seems to be the BlackBerry 9500, part of the 9000 series, though it is likely to change.Â Rumor has it that the Blackberry Thunder will launch as a worldwide exclusive for the Verizon Network, which should make all you non-Verizon people pretty jealous.

According to the Boy Genius Report the BlackBerry 9000 specs, are as follows: "The BlackBerry 9000 series will include a device with a 480 x 320-pixel touch screen; 1 GB of internal memory; an Intel X-Scale PXA270 processor at 624MHz; GPS; and Wi-Fi. The device will also supposedly include 3G support (multi-band HSPDA) and either a 2 megapixel or 3.2 megapixel digital camera."

Blackberry has been able to keep the Touch Thunder Project hush hush so this is a lot of speculation, nothing has been confirmed yet.Â We are diehard technology lovers and cannot wait for the Thunder to materialize!Â We will keep you posted.
