Bread & Butter: Barbour To Ki To Spring/Summer 2011

With tradeshow season in full effect, the good folks over at Selectism have made their way over to Berlin for this year’s Bread & Butter. They turn us to the S/S 2011 collection for Barbour‘s ongoing collaboration with Japan’s To Ki To. “Designer, Tokihito always adds a variety of accents to the line. The “Duralinen Trials Shirt” in olive includes a wrap which attached the rear of the jacket to the front via a crotch wrap – which helps in keeping the dirt off your slack.”

This weekend marked the opening of Rapha‘s first retail venture on US soil. We turned you guys to the cycling playground pre-launch, but now that we’ve gotten a chance to scope out the finished product, here’s a look on the inside. The space is pretty open, with plenty to do. They’ve got a cafe, run by Third Rail Coffee, books for purchase, as well historical items from the archives which included helmets and cycling caps. The gear is pretty tremendous as well, and ranged from strict gear for your daily stroll to more casual clothing like button-downs and khakis.

The High Voltage Gullwing: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-CELL

The High Voltage Gullwing: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-CELL

German carmaker Mercedes-Benz has officially taken the covers off of its electric-powered SLS AMG E-CELL, a powerful luxury sports car that looks to bridge the gap between eco-friendly travel and performance. Powerful traction is provided by four synchronous electric motors with a combined peak output of 392 kW and a maximum torque of 880 Nm. The four compact electric motors each achieve a maximum rpm of 12,000/rpm and placed near the wheels. The results are astounding, with a 0-62mph time of 4 seconds, just narrowly missing the 3.8 time the SLS AMG gets with its 571-hp 6.3L V8 engine.
