Wiesmann MF5 Black Bat



What does this beast look like to you? Obviously, a Batmobile. Aptly named the Wiesmann MF5 Black Bat, the car was customized by Schwaben Folia and Dhaler. The partnership resulted in a dangerously good looking ride, powered by a threatening upgraded V-10.

Much fierce than the base car, the Black Bat boasts a 600-hp output, a new exhaust, and six-piston Brembo calipers, among other modifications. The exterior owes its appeal to the matte black coating, the black BBS 20-inch alloys with polished rims, and the blacked out chrome touches. We love everything about it, inside and outside. The only thing we’re not exactly sure about is the red Batman logo on the back.

Las Alamandas - Costalegre, Mexico - Luxury Resort

Las Alamandas is Mexico's ultimate romantic beach hideaway!

A secluded oceanside haven and playful paradise, owned and developed by Ms. Isabel Goldsmith-Patiño, this boutique resort offers the highest standards of luxury, comfort and personalized hospitality. Managed as an elegant yet "laid back", private estate where guests are accorded the highest standards of hospitality this exclusive resort, situated midway between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo along the famed Costalegre Coast of Mexico, the 1,500 acres of unspoiled tropical paradise set the scene for unsurpassed privacy, romance, pampering and relaxation.
 This intimate resort offers it all – now more than ever before after an extensive renovation of the resort. The remodeled suites are extraordinarily spacious and exquisitely appointed, with panoramic ocean and garden views. The innovative, contemporary gourmet cuisine is prepared with locally caught seafood and organic produce grown on-property. Massages and treatments are enjoyed in a tranquil spa pavilion by the sand. Every amenity and facility is available, from a 60-foot swimming pool, fully equipped gym with hilltop views, and Kids Club to nature hikes, mountain biking, kayaking, horseback riding, tennis and surfing. Paths of inlaid pebbles and stones meander through gardens fragrant with the alluring scents of jasmine, gardenia and the vivid yellow Alamanda – the flower for which the resort is named. With Las Alamandas’ private 3,300-foot airstrip, guests may arrive by private plane.

 More than a luxurious vacation retreat, Las Alamandas is also one of the few resorts in the world located within a pristine nature reserve. Untouched beaches with soft white sand are lapped by turquoise waters where pelicans dive for lunch. Lagoons and streams provide a habitat for countless multi-colored birds. Migrating whales swim along the coast and sea turtles arrive annually to lay their eggs in the sand in this serene eco destination.

The JETLEV-FLYER employs a powerful 4-stroke engine and water nozzle reaction force to achieve stable, controlled flight. The unique design helps to make flight controls very simple, light and intuitive. It can accommodate pilots of 1,50 - 2,00 m in height and 40 - 150 kg in weight. A digital fly-by-wire system is used to control the throttle. For safety and performance we only use high quality materials and workmanship in manufacturing.

Depending on pilot weight, a standard JETLEV-FLYER could reach an altitude of 10 m, top speeds of 47 km/h and has a cruising duration of 2-3 hours.
