Rolls-Royce now offering a Black Badge option of its popular Dawn convertible, unveiled at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The innovative semi-performance convertible has a lot of command and energetic contributions. Powered with a 6.6 litre, twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Nonetheless, horsepower is up 30 to 593 ponies. Comparable to other Black Badges like the Wraith and Ghost, the transmission, steering, and throttle have all been upgraded and rubbed for a sportier feel; also featuring a an active exhaust paired with brakes that increase by 1 inch( 2,54 cm ) compared to the average vehicle.

Rolls-Royce claims the car is suffused in a deep and intense shade of black — with multiple layers of paint and varnish having been applied and hand-polished for its solid paint color. All chrome fittings are darkened, including the Spirit of Ecstasy, complete with the black canvas roof and black leather tonneau cover. The`qw7s is a blend of carbon fiber, ebony, and black leather surfaces, distinguished by an orange leather trim.

Bearing in mind the regular Dawn starts around $340,000 ( R 2.6 Million), it’s guessed the price tag of the Black Badge edition will be closer to the $400,000 (R 3 Million ) mark.

The Business of Being Yourself. Yasmin Furmie, co The Business of Being Yourself.

Yasmin Furmie, co-founder of SiSi The Collection, talks to Grandiose about personal style, collecting with intention and building a design language that refuses to follow the crowd.  Her philosophy is perhaps best captured in the words she uses to describe William Kentridge designers including Lezanne Viviers, Thebe Magugu, Rich Mnisi, Sindiso Khumalo and Lukhanyo Mdingi, Furmie makes a compelling case for individuality, excellence and staying true to what you believe in.

She also reflects on reinvention, creative freedom and the importance of allowing yourself to change direction. Her philosophy is perhaps best captured in the words she uses to describe William Kentridge: “The work speaks for itself.”

At 38 feet, the flagship BRABUS Marine model combines a Black Ops exterior, exposed carbon fibre and a bespoke Masterpiece interior with the serious hardware to match.

Twin Mercury Racing 500R V8s produce a combined 1,000 hp and 1,000 Nm-class performance, driving the Shadow 1000 to a top speed of up to 60 knots.

Inside, Moonstone and Graphite upholstery, carbon detailing, configurable deck layouts, premium audio, RGB lighting and a suite of navigation and control technologies create a boat designed equally for high-speed cruising, entertaining and relaxation.

With its unmistakable BRABUS presence, the Shadow 1000 is less about simply arriving somewhere than making an entrance on the way there.

KARUIZAWA 1960: THE WHISKY BOTTLE THAT EXISTS TWIC KARUIZAWA 1960: THE WHISKY BOTTLE THAT EXISTS TWICE IN HISTORY

On 18 September, Sotheby’s will offer one of the most extraordinary bottles in Japanese whisky collecting: Karuizawa 1960 Cask #5627, “The Prototype.”

Estimated at $400,000–$600,000, the bottle was drawn directly from Karuizawa’s oldest cask on 20 December 2012, before the celebrated 1960 vintage was commercially released.

Only two bottles were ever hand-filled directly from Cask #5627 at this pre-release stage.

This bottle was filled by Osami Uchibori, Karuizawa’s final Master Distiller, who had worked at the distillery since the cask was originally distilled in 1960.

Matured for 52 years, Cask #5627 ultimately yielded just 41 commercially available bottles.

The Prototype is more than an exceptionally rare whisky.

It is a surviving piece of a distillery that can never produce again.

Some bottles preserve whisky. Others preserve history.

While Bugatti now enters the hybrid age with the Tourbillon, the W-16 will forever remain one of the greatest engines ever built.
