This photo for Dolce and Gabbana's new perfume Light Blue sort of reminds me of the type of pose Sharon might create for it if she were a model today:

Merdad's Porsche Cayenne 902 Coupe in the Flesh



We reported earlier on the custom-built Porsche Cayenne 902 Coupe that lost two-doors, courtesy of Merdad. Now, the UK-based tuning firm brought to our attention some real life shots of the SUV, which had its world premiere at last month's MPH The Prestige & Performance Motor Show in London.

Starting with the latest generation of the Porsche Cayenne, Merdad chops off the SUV's rear doors and proceeds with the necessary changes to the rest of the body. A comprehensive styling kit with aero parts and a choice of black or silver colored 22-inch alloy wheels along with an electronic lowering module are then added to the 902 Coupe.

The interior of the two-door Cayenne is swathed in black leather and red Alcantara, plus unique trim and a new steering wheel.

Being a custom build, Medrad also improves the Porsche's performance offering various upgrades for the Turbo model (550bhp to 750bhp), with the most potent version boasting a 0-60mph sprint time of 4.4 seconds.

2011 Audi R18 Race Livery Rendering



Audi may have pulled the wraps off of its 2011 Audi R18 racer weeks ago but we've only seen it thus far in exposed black carbon. Audi Sport typically doesn't reveal its new race liveries until the earliest race weekends, especially for a new car so we know that the black car we have all seen will eventually be painted and likely in the usual mix of silver, red, black, etc.

This year the R18 won't be raced publicly before the Le Mans test week so we're guessing the final look of the new car won't appear until then. In the meantime we've encountered a few private renderings, artist speculations on just what the new car will look like in Le Mans. One of our favorites is this most recent version.

Given last year's aggressive departure from previous factory liveries we'll refrain from guessing just how the car might compare to next year's car. Still, we figured you'd enjoy checking it out.
