Riva Aquariva designed by Marc Newson

It's another fantastic shot for Horizontal alliances. A industrial design superstar collaborated with Italian Iconic Yacht film.
Aquarama, Newson infused identifiable Riva attributes while keeping within his own signature style. A streamlined instrument panel, a wrap-around laminated glass windshield, separated driver and passenger seats, handles and hooks that disappear when not in use, a re-imagined stern and state-of-the-art transmission all bring the boat to new standards without compromising its history as an opulent pleasure vessel.
Newson's Aquariva will debut in September 2010 and will be available worldwide through NYC's Gagosian Gallery.

Go green! Transcendence, the fastest Zero emission Megayacht in the world (so far)

Normaly the maxium speed not over 15 knots driving by electric power. Transcendence could be rearch a top speed of 25 knots by employing Mercedes Benz / MTU Bluetec engines. it,s amazing! looking forward of seeing more details about the yacht.

“Transcendence is the Carbon Offset Alternative to comparable Hi-performance Megayachts. Her overall size (49m) and maximum speed (25knots) are the same, but alas, her Carbon Footprint is far smaller, often reaching zero”, – commented Richard Sauter, the head of design department.

Elie Saab ES117 - Oceanco

The magnificent Elie Saab ES117m (384.78ft) megayacht is as impressive in its dimensions as the refinement of its design, characterized by its high ceiling, an innovation that Saab exclusively introduced to the yacht industry, and is the culmination of the efforts of an ensemble of extraordinarily creative individuals brought together under the Weyves Couture Concept.

eROCKIT - pedal electric hybrid motorcycle

The idea of an electric-assist bicycle has been around for some time, with Aprilia’s Enjoy the first really convincing argument that the genre had a future – now there’s another variation on the electric pedal-assist theme, but the ErockIT is much more a motorcycle than a bike. The whole thing weighs just 110 kilograms and with over 45lb/ft of torque and 13bhp, it can top 50mph(80Km/h)
“The driver’s pedaling motions charge the batteries and control the motor, which multiplies the rider’s effort by a factor of 50. The faster you pedal, the faster the 12 horsepower electric motor rotates. The high torque of the electric motor enables spectacular acceleration.”Related link /延伸閱讀
