YANKEE GAL

Yankee Gal is a short film created by Antoine Perez, Céline Desrumaux, Francois Pons and Gary Levesque. It was made during our course at Supinfocom animation school in 2008. It took a whole year and a team of four people to make, and we can safely say it was one of the best experiences we have had.

BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo with 700 hp to Bow in Geneva

Despite the fact that SUV's are falling out of favor with many consumers, tuning firm Brabus has announced plans to introduce their new G V12 S Biturbo at next month's Geneva Motor Show.

Big changes lie under the hood as the new G V12 S Biturbo replaces the traditional V8 engines that normally reside in the G-Class with a version of Mercedes' V12 engine from the S600. The engine's displacement is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cubic inches) and it is outfitted with a new crankshaft, larger cylinders, and reworked cylinder heads. Brabus also added larger turbochargers, a better intercooling system, and a specially designed high-performance stainless steel exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts.

The end result of all this work is an engine that produces 700 hp (690 bhp /515 kW) and an electronically limited 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of torque. Performance figures for this monster include a 0-100 km/h time of 4.3 seconds and a limited top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph). In comparison, the V8 powered G55 AMG produces 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque while the Mercedes S600 has 510 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque.

In order to cope with all that power, Brabus had to install a custom suspension, a high-performance braking system, and high-performance tires which are available in sizes from 20- to 22-inches.

The hefty €379,000 price tag includes an exclusive exterior that features a Brabus front apron with LED daytime running lights, a new rear bumper, and specially designed caps for the G-Class' standard running boards that offer integrated LED lights which can be activated via the key fob. Inside there's a new ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, a 280-km/h (175 mph) speedometer, illuminated sill plates, and handcrafted Brabus Mastik leather. Upon customer request, the company can turn the G V12 S Biturbo into an office on wheels or the ultimate entertainment machine by equipping it with state-of-the-art communications technology, a DVD changer, TV tuner, game console and eight-inch LCD screens mounted to the back of the front headrests.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage

Aston Martin teased us with the V12 Vantage concept last year and now the company has released details about the production version that will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.Under the hood is a massive 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS) and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque. The company predicts a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of just 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h). For comparison Aston's more mainstream V8 Vantage is powered by a 4.7-liter V8 which produces 420bhp and 470Nm of torque, enabling the car to run from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 180mph (288km/h).

33 East 63rd Street Townhouse

The multi-year renovation, including a new Landmark approved limestone façade, is finally complete. This 5-story, 20 foot wide townhouse with elevator was originally built in 1901 and is located on one of Manhattan’s most prestigious blocks, East 63rd Street between Madison and Park Avenues. While the beautiful exterior suggests a traditional home, the interior is most definitely sophisticated modern and everything within is brand new, from the floors, walls, kitchen, baths, mechanicals, to the elevator. The house features a stunning bamboo garden and a large terrace with a wall of glass that completely opens. The kitchen is designed for the serious chef yet is inviting and overlooks the garden. The master bedroom floor, sumptuous bath and extensive dressing area are beyond luxurious. In addition to the master there are 4 additional bedrooms with baths, 4 wood burning fireplaces, a study with double-height ceiling, a finished basement with guest suite, and every imaginable amenity.
