60 years on, the Porsche 911 continues to be one of the best sports cars on the market. Porsche is keeping the 60th-anniversary celebration rolling with the 911 S/T, a stripped-down 911 aimed squarely at the purist 911 fan. The naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter, 517-horsepower flat-six is mated to a six-speed manual transmission with a lightweight flywheel and clutch. The purist camp will enjoy a total of 70 pounds less weight than the manual 911 GT3 Touring, making it the lightest 911 you can buy new. 0-60 comes in 3.5 seconds with a terminal velocity of 186 MPH. A revised aero package is optimized for a sleek look and the road, with a Gurney flap on the retractable rear spoiler.

The interior is trimmed in Classic Cognac cloth seat centers and black pinstriping, and two-tone semi-aniline leather trim in black and Classic Cognac. 1,963 911 S/Ts will be made, with deliveries beginning in Spring 2024.

The exclusive Heritage Design Package adds Shoreblue Metallic paint and Cermica wheels, with the original Porsche crest from the first 911 throughout the exterior and cabin.

From Cyber Trucks, to Cyber Phones, to a  Cyber House – now this…a Cyber Mansion, when will it ever end? Cyberhouse Life is a concept from architect Alex Wyzhevsky that looks like it could easily be out of the next Bond film. Nestled in a picturesque mountain this dwelling actually consists of two buildings – a house and garage. We could go with some sort of architectural spiel, but why? Just look at it! So we’ll just give you the basics. The mansion is 1,370-square-meters with glazed walls, and is constructed of monolithic concrete, heavy-duty steel, and bulletproof glass. There you go, start dreaming.

In the iconic movie Scarface from 1984, Tony Montana (played by legendary actor Al Pacino) wore a very unique and today discontinued 28mm quartz Omega ‘La Magique’ limited to only 261 pieces worldwide. The watch was released one year before the movies premiere.

The “La Magique” is an 18k yellow gold timepiece, with sapphire crystal, and a gold chain bracelet.

The watch is sometimes called ‘The Phantom’ because of its transparent dial, which creates the effect of the watch’s hands floating over the wearer’s skin, hence the name ‘La Magique’

So if you want to channel your Cuban gangster you can buy it here second hand for a cool A$30,892.20

It takes a lot to impress NFL star Tom Brady, but this latest edition to his previous 6 Super Bowl rings did. This ridiculous large ring consists of 319 diamonds, which includes 15 karats of white diamonds and 14 karats of yellow diamonds. The 319 wasn’t a random number either, the Buccaneers picked it to commemorate their 31-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Of the 319 diamonds, the eight emerald cut stones on the right represent the fact that the they won eight straight games to win the Lombardi Trophy.

The ring also includes one feature that no NFL team has ever had on a ring: A removable top. They wanted to commemorate the fact that they were the first team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium, showing Raymond James Stadium underneath it.

“I think this is by far the most incredible ring that’s ever been made and it’s commemorating a very special team that came together at the most important moments,” Tom Brady

Out of all the Vogue: 73 Questions Shows this would have to be the best one so far. Liam Gallagher of Iconic British band of the 90’s Oasis. Unlike other celebs that have featured there was one attempt—no rehearsal, no advance peek at the questions, just Liam strutting his stuff on a field on a summers day in a parka jacket, Legend! I think this question summed up the Gallagher brothers:

Most underrated band of the 90s? “Oasis” Most overrated? “Blur’

Well we here at TheNews weren’t born and raised in San Diego, but after checking out this restaurant we wish we were. The Born and Raised Steak House in Little Italy is as high roller as it gets! The 10,000 foot square space, 45  foot cocktail bar (with 26 taps) 250 seater is pimped out in brass-plating (of course), walnut paneled, tufted leather booths and lush marble tops. Now lets get to the food, foie gras-topped Tournedos Rossini, Steak Diane, and rib of beef with Yorkshire pudding, dry-aged bone-in New York strip rested in the tricked-out kitchen’s 40-square-foot glass-enclosed dry-aging room and butcher shop. The hyped tableside carts will offer a rotating selection of dishes prepared while you watch, including beef tartare and shrimp Louis, plus Martinis, Manhattans and Rob Roy cocktails shaken at the table.

Of all the things we could have shown you from CES 2020 in Las Vegas (Consumer Electronics Show) which ranged from driverless cars, rotating TV’s, smart bins, headless robot cats (that’s right) this is probably the standout (well for style anyway) – the “Roland Facet Grand Piano”. The concept was conceived in 2015 for the Roland’s Digital Piano Design Awards by the winner Korean industrial designer Jong Chan. His design was motivated by polyhedrons and named ‘Facet’ –  inspired by crystalline structures. The angular build gives an amazing experience of sound for both player and audience combined with a visionary aesthetic.  Flat-panel speakers are in the base that which flow through the outer frame.

At this stage Roland has said it’s not going to be a product and has no plan for production which would probably devastate the Piano Man himself Billy Joel.

No – we’re not talking about some movie memorabilia from the 1985 Australian post-apocalyptic action film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, we’re talking about this stunner from watch makers Eric Coudray and Kari Voutilainen. The two have combined to produce the Legacy Machine Thunderdome time piece which has the world’s fastest triple-axis regulating mechanism, with 3 axes revolving in record-breaking 8 seconds, 12 seconds and 20 seconds.

“Rising above a sea of blue guillochage is a rotating spherical mass of gears, pinions and cages. Somehow, from this chaos of motion, order is extracted. Time is indicated on an inclined dial of stretched lacquer, proving that even the wildest horological whirlwinds can be tamed into the logic of hours and minutes.”

The reverse of the LM Thunderdome engine is equally rewarding.
