Aston Martin Unveils the AMB 001 Pro Track Hyperbike
In 2019, Aston Martin broke the Internet with the unveiling of its AMB 001 motorbike made in collaboration with Brough Superior, and now the two juggernauts have come together again to reveal the next iteration: the AMB 001 Pro. Strictly built for the track, the AMB 001 Pro superbike takes everything Aston Martin and Brough Superior learned and delivered with their formative motorbike and dials it up to eleven. The result is a 25% power increase on its predecessor to 225 HP, coming courtesy of a new fully-machined AL 5000 solid billet CNC-machine dual-cylinder 997cc engine. In total, the bike weighs in at just 175kg dry, meaning the power-to-weight ratio is 1.28 hp/kg — to put that into perspective, a Formula 1 car has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.4hp/kg, so don’t mistake the A...
Honda Unveils the 2023 Rendition of Its Ruckus Model
First released 20 years ago, the Honda Ruckus remains a popular scooter for the brand today. Economically priced and smartly designed, the Ruckus is a compact yet efficient everyday ride for the average city or suburban dweller. Retaining an overall very similar design to its predecessor, the 2023 rendition will come in a new NPS50 model. Fitted with a dependable liquid-cooled 49cc engine and V-Matic® automatic transmission, the new model requires no clutching or shifting, while also being highly fuel efficient. Its tough, tubular-steel frame also doubles as under-seat storage, while echoing the color scheme of the dual headlights for a cool and practical appearance. Available in three color options — “White/Metallic Blue”, “Gray” and “Midnight Blue/Tan” — the 2023 Honda Ruckus can be purc...
Tesla Recalls More Than 40,000 Cars Over Power Steering Issue
In September, Tesla recalled over a million cars that posed the risk of windows closing too fast and pinching driver’s fingers. A little over a month later, the electric automaker has returned with its 17th recall of 2022. Tesla is recalling 40,168 vehicles in the United States due to a potential issue with its power-steering technology. Impacting Model S and Model X vehicles produced between 2017 and 2021, Tesla claims that the power-steering assist may fail in the event that the cars drive over rough roads or if they hit a pothole. The Model S and Model X advertise the ability to add in additional force to steering input in order to help drivers control the vehicle. The system, called power steering, functions via electric sensors. While the company says it isn’t aware of any injur...
Porsche 911 Prototype Scales Highest Volcano In the World
A special Porsche 911 off-roader has set off on a mission to scale Ojo del Salado in Chile, the highest volcano in the world. Setting off on an adventure where temperatures fall as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit, the Dakar-esque 911 was designed for the toughest conditions on earth where there are no tracks and no roads. The 911 Carrera 4S-based prototype arrived with heavy modifications including a roof rack for carrying equipment, raised fenders, a custom livery, and large off-road tires offering 13.7 inches of ground clearance. The car was further optimized for higher performance during low speeds and locking differentials for maximum traction. Leading the challenge was Le Mans winner Romain Dumas, who took the car to 19,708 feet (6007 m) above sea level across walls of snow and large bo...
I Started Using a Hair Serum, and My Hair Has Never Looked Better
“The chemistry behind serums means that they can be highly concentrated to deliver very specific benefits,” explains Kuldeep Knox, founder of Chāmpo haircare. “Because they are usually composed of very small molecules, they are readily absorbed by hair, which means you can use less and get more value for money. They can be easily formulated to deliver a wide range of results, such as adding volume, managing frizz, and protecting against heat or pollution damage.” With so many fantastic hair serums on the market, however, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when trying to find the perfect match. That’s why I’ve created the ultimate edit of hair serums for every hair type and concern. Happy hair incoming. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are loo...
The 7 Boot Trends Everyone Is Eyeing Up for Winter
Boot season used to be confined to the winter months, but not anymore. Fashion types have cemented boots as a year-round shoe staple, from cowboy boots to knee-highs worn with mini hemlines. Of course, this isn’t news to Brit girls—our changeable weather (even in the height of summer) means that we keep our boots within arm’s reach at all times. More brands than ever showcased boots in fresh and inspiring ways in their summer collections for 2022, and a lot of those themes have continued through to the autumn/winter collections as well. So as we start to look forward to the season ahead, we thought it would be a good idea to revisit our favourite 2022 boot trends, as witnessed on the runway. Some we’re already wearing, and some we can’t wait to wear more of when ...
This Is How London Girls Are Styling Their Trousers Right Now
Trousers are a year-round wardrobe staple and one that British fashion types certainly don’t have autonomy over. Still, after reviewing six months worth of the impressive street style imagery we’ve captured by way of London pavements, I can discern one thing: The capital’s most adept dressers know how to style their trousers. Between puddle pants and cargoes, loose-fit denim and tailoring, London girls have embraced 2022’s penchant for trousers like no one else. It helps that they loan themselves to our climate, where, even in the peak of summer, there remains an omnipresent chill in the air, particularly after a certain point in the evening. Looking back at our photo archives, trouser outfits were just as predominant in the month of July as they were during ou...
24 Epic Gifts Any TikTok Obsessive Will Appreciate
I’m by no means a TikTok expert, but there are a few things I’ve learnt whilst using the platform over the past year or so. 1) Avid TikTok users have pretty expensive taste. They know their brands and take investment purchases seriously, aspiring to own the latest must-have bag or spending hours tracking down the current cult trainer (most likely on Laced, where it’s selling for a premium). 2) They lean heavily into nostalgia, delighting in the clothes and accessories that make most 30-somethings such as me shudder when we remember how we wore them (probably less stylishly) the first time around. And 3) they know how to have fun. From adorning their hair with rhinestones to singing along in their karaoke microphones, TikTok presents its users with an escape from real...
Ian Strange Illuminates a Cincinnati Neighborhood Through ‘PENUMBRA’
Following the release of his first monograph, Australian artist Ian Strange has unveiled a new site-specific project entitled PENUMBRA. Made over a two-month period during the 2022 FotoFocus Biennial in Cincinnati, PENUMBRA comprises of real homes that Strange and his collaborators installed a series of large-scale light works to cast a dramatic lens upon the neighborhood. The first work, Ley Street, presents a massive light on a single home, causing a shadow against the surrounding area. Further on, Walnut Avenue flips the focus by using the home itself as a beacon of light that projects outwardly. “PENUMBRA reflects on the existing visual records and histories of neighborhoods, as well as the effects of environmental and economic conditions on specific homes in the region,” said curator ...
