Perini Navi Fidelis Yacht

 

The Perini Navi Fidelis yacht is the 51st and last project in the 56-meter series, built by the Perini Navi Italian shipyard. This yacht boasts large spaces such as two large outdoor areas, two cockpits and a large deck.

The fore-cockpit can seat 12 guests on two big L-shaped sofas, and the detachable tables can be removed to make a terrace from which one can admire the beautiful surroundings. The second cockpit is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail on the three comfortable sofas and armchairs or have al fresco dining in an intimate place. Leisure areas, such as lounge and sun-bathing spots, are located on the fly bridge.

For accommodation, the yacht offers four cabins with large beds, including en-suite bathroom with shower, desk area and a couch. The owner’s quarters feature an office, couch ports areas, a large bathtub, private shower and a spacious dressing room.

Perini’s in-house design team and Ron Holland Design chose to use fine materials to match this luxurious yacht: walnut wood, steel, marble and leather. The main cabin can also be used as a living room or dining area, and the guests can entertain themselves watching a huge flat-screen television or have fun with their friends in the games and cards area.

Jaguar C-X75 Limited Edition

 

Up to 10 limited edition Jaguar C-X75 supercars using gas turbines could go into production, retaining the futuristic and ultra-cool powertrain first seen on the concept car.

 

 

The Jaguar C-X75 concept car was envisaged as using predominately an electric powertrain, while gas turbines would be used to act like range-extenders, recharging the batteries to give the C-X75 a longer range.

Jaguar then announced the production version would lose these turbines in favour of a more conventional electric-based setup using a turbocharged petrol engine, developed by Williams F1 technology no doubt, to provide extra range and propulsion.

It’s understood Jaguar is now aiming to produce just 10 of those versions with the gas turbines. It doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a jet-powered car, per se, the turbines will simply be used to generate more electricity for the batteries, and extend the overall range.

The Jaguar project was developed as a kind of spiritual successor to the old Jaguar XJ13, showcasing an hourglass figure with high wheel arches front and rear. Inside is equally glorious, with flowing shapes and lines building the structure around the driver.

Overall power figures are yet to be finalised, however, the C-X75 will be Jaguar’s most powerful production vehicle. It’s expected to crack 0-100km/h in under 3.0 seconds, while top speed will be beyond 320km/h (200mph). All of this while offering a very reasonable fuel consumption rating.

Thanks to a carbon fibre chassis, the C-X75 is expected to be very light in weight. The chassis will also provide strong and rigid dynamics for optimum handling and high-speed stability.

Overall, 250 are planned to hit the market in 2013. As far as we know, some will be built in right-hand drive and become available in various markets. Australia is on the cards to be one of those markets. As for the 10 gas turbine versions, it is likely none of these will head Down Under.

This historic and richly decorated hotel is located deep in the French countryside and provides a great spot for both relaxation and exploration. The Chβteau de Mirambeau has undergone many renovations and additions from the 6th and 7th century, to the 17th and 19th and more recently to bring it up to date with the present. The result is a building rich in history and architectural value, with turrets, spires and old stone walls. The interior of the chβteau is lavish and ornate, with patterned walls, floors and antique furniture, accentuating the antiquated French luxury feel. Outside you will find eight-hectares of parkland, with beautiful scenery and varied outdoor activities.

Yards of rich fabrics and antique furniture combine to evoke a past era of luxury. Modern standards are fitted here, but the television is cleverly hidden away so you can truly enjoy the experience. The dining room of the hotel is similarly decorated, with antique paintings, furniture and of course the finest of French cuisine and wine to boot.
