Aston Martin DBR1 race car is a legendary car that won many prizes like the Le Mans and also the World Sportscar Championships in 1959. Here are some cool TMB’s exclusive Aston Martin DBR1/2 Essence of Form links which not only look good but are also made using the original aluminium parts. The car was driven by Carroll Shelby who was victorious in 1959.
The cufflinks are made of solid 18 carat gold and just 50 pairs would be available worldwide. They cost about $3000 each and are some of the most expensive cufflinks to be ever manufactured. Aston Martin itself is one of the most cars in the world and will cost up to $25 million. I would so love to get it for myself but I can certainly not afford something so expensive as this.

If you thought your child had to carry heavy bags to school with all those books, you would most certainly be coming from one of the Asian or African countries. In these countries, children are made to carry heavy books and this results in strained muscles and hurt bones.
Thus the Smart Bag is an awesome design by a Malaysian which addresses this problem. It is made from a lightweight material and comes with trolleys etc which help the child to pull the bag if it becomes too heavy. storage compartments for files, books, stationery and water bottles make it an attractive bag and even children would love it as they can carry so many books all at once.

Ever wondered what it is like to work effortlessly when in the arctic region? Well, not many would want to work or even travel in those inhospitable terrains but the Arctic Drifter is an amazing Mobile media centric living space and work unit. It comes with the prominent FlyEye system which collects ultra high resolution spherical projections which allow the crew to get a real feel of what it is like outside.
Thus, the researchers would never have to venture out into the cold, and then conduct the research and instead can gauge everything from the Arctic Drifting itself. It is made of Hypalon air bags and can be inflated before usage. Inaccessible landscapes can be better understood with its help and I am sure you would love to be an Arctic researcher yourself.

I had never wanted a car that looked ordinary and dull. I always wanted something that was out of the ordinary and something that stood out from the rest. At the same, I am very particular about cars that save energy and that which are not gulping down gallons of crude oil.
If this is how you think as well, you might like the concept BMW Lovos (Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity) which has been the work of BMW and Anne Forschner, a student at the German Pforzheim University. The concept comes with scale shaped solar panels that make your car look like a futuristic dinosaur and also see all the reflective solar light and convert that into energy.
