The GTS comes with a 4.8L V8 engine and the Porsche Active Suspension Management System (PASM). But the new Edition 3 version up’s the ante even more. One of the first things that sets this car apart is the Lava Grey paint scheme. Some other features include the extended roof spoiler, racing stripes, and 21inch alloy wheels with the anthracite finish to match the paint. The car also has bi-xenon headlights and tinted windows. The interior has black leather upholstery with contrasting red seams on the panel and door sills.

Clearly a Lamborghini, but nothing quite like it. A super car without equals: The Lamborghini Reventón is a road vehicle with an extreme specification and, at the same time, a limited edition masterpiece - a coherent style, angular with sharp lines, inspired by the very latest aeronautics. More images after the jump.

Initial reports suggest that the 6.5 L (400 cu in) V12 received a power boost of approximately 20 bhp (15 kW), bringing the new output to 660 bhp (490 kW). In spite of this, and the car’s carbon fibre components, the Reventón accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the same time as the Murciélago LP640 (3.4 seconds). The car is capable of reaching a maximum speed of over 340 km/h (210 mph).

After stealing the show at the Spring/Summer 2009 Collection, Billionaire Boys Club has just released this flashy Leather Rucksack, in gold. This gaudy backpack touts BBC’s signature “Dollars & Diamonds” imprinted all over. There’s a handle on top with a leather tie and adjustable straps forming closure with a buckle. Also, it flaunts two flap pockets on the outer surface and a small zip pocket inside. Metal hardware ensures durability while lending it a glossy finish as well.

It seems that BBC doesn’t want to make it a normal possession; that’s the reason maybe only four of these are available for $1,650.

Kanyeezy throws album listening party…

Kanye West threw a party in LA on Tuesday night with the perfect ingredients for press coverage; cue celebrities, 40 naked models and eagerly anticipated new music.

Mr. West is yet to comment on his party in full but he has posted pictures of the nude models, sorry, ‘live performance artists’ on his blog but please note they mate not be SFW, the picture above is one of the least explicit. The hitmaker hired artist Vanessa Beecroft to set up the erm… display.

Heaven forbid Kanye would let people listen to his music without an uber defensive rant “I don’t give a f**k if someone rates it ‘hot’ or ‘not.’ I’m here to bring positivity that cannot be judged. It’s like judging a grandmother’s love.” Wow. Nobody wants to upset a grandmother.

Anyway, the audience consisting of friends, journalists and music executives, were privy to new tracks from his forthcoming album 808 & Heartbreak, the two main tracks that have been mentioned are Heartless and Cold As Winter, the latter in memory of Kanye’s late mother Donda.
