Weltpremiere auf der Auto Shanghai 2013, der wichtigsten Automesse in China, feiert das VW CrossBlue Coupé, mit dem die Wolfsburger einen Ausblick in die Zukunft geben. VW-Design-Chef Klaus Bischoff: „Das neue Coupé lebt von einem harmonischen Dreiklang. Es ist robust im Auftritt, sportlich in den Proportionen und von zurückhaltender Eleganz in der Skulptur und den Linien. Diese Studie wird zweifellos Einfluss auf künftige SUV-Modelle haben.
Aurora Flight Sciences announced today that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded the company the prime contract for Phase 2 of the Agency’s Vertical Takeoff and Landing Experimental Plane (VTOL X-Plane) program.
VTOL X-Plane seeks to develop a technology demonstrator that could:
• Achieve a top sustained flight speed of 300 kt-400 kt
• Raise aircraft hover efficiency from 60 percent to at least 75 percent
• Present a more favorable cruise lift-to-drag ratio of at least 10, up from 5-6
• Carry a useful load of at least 40 percent of the vehicle’s projected gross weight of 10,000-12,000 pounds
The Aurora team’s design for its unmanned aircraft, named LightningStrike, seeks to provide an approximately 50-percent increase in speed over existing VTOL aircraft designed for comparable mission applications.

Der Audi A1 Sportback, der Anfang 2012 zu den Händlern rollt, ist der fünftürige Kompakt-Audi für ein junges, urbanes Publikum. Im Design, beim Aufbau der leichten Karosserie und in den Abmessungen ist der 3,95 Meter lange Neue eng mit seinem dreitürigen Schwestermodell verwandt. Er baut um einige Millimeter höher, damit bietet er mehr Platz auf der Rücksitzbank. Audi liefert den A1 Sportback serienmäßig mit vier, auf Wunsch ohne Aufpreis mit fünf Sitzen aus.
Als Antrieb stehen vier TFSI-Benziner und drei TDI bereit, ihre Leistungsspanne reicht von 63 kW (86 PS) bis 136 kW (185 PS). Für einige Motoren liefert Audi die blitzschnell schaltende Siebengang S tronic als Kraftübertragung.

Yesterday, Guinness World Records announced that the bottle of Gautier 1762 was the oldest cognac sold at a public auction. This 250-year-old drink was purchased in 2014 by Wealth Solutions, a Polish company specialized in rare spirits and collectibles, at an auction of old and rare beverages organized by Bonhams Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers in NYC. It remained part of the company’s collection of old liquors until October 2015, when the management board made the decision to create a watch with a drop of this antique spirit, and opened the bottle. The uncorking ceremony was organized in Bristol Hotel in Warsaw and formed part of an event to mark the start of cooperation between Wealth Solutions and Armin Strom, a Swiss Watch Manufacturer.
Thanks to this cooperation, the Cognac Watch was made – the first Swiss mechanical watch with a drop of alcohol. The timepiece and the capsule for this unique beverage were designed by Claude Greisler, Armin Strom’s chief horologist. This independent Swiss manufacturer also accepted the mission to produce this unusual watch. The exclusive limited edition for Wealth Solutions consisted of just 40 timepieces produced in stainless steel, 18k rose gold and titanium cases. All of them were sold by Wealth Solutions in an exclusive presale before the official launch of the product. The international premiere of the Cognac Watch took place on 20th March 2016, during the Baselworld show. Yesterday, at the Polish premiere in Warsaw, Wealth Solutions announced the decision of Guinness World Records.
Having met with huge success, Wealth Solutions has decided to continue production of the Spirit Watches line. The next limited edition will be the Rum Watch – a Swiss timepiece with a drop of Harewood rum from 1780. International subscription for this unique watch opened on 26th April on the website: http://en.wealth.pl/promotion/spirit-watches
