Jean Boulle Luxury
The Boulle Luxury Experience: Sun King TM Diamond Coating In March 2016, after years of investment in research and subsequent development of its proprietary diamond coating technology, the Jean Boulle Luxury Group ("Boulle Luxury") announced the launch of its patent-pending Sun King Diamond Coating for luxury finishes, and confirmed the delivery of its first multi-million diamond-coated car finish in Geneva. In March 2017, Boulle Luxury announced that its High Tech. luxury diamond finish technology had been used in a paint exhibited on a Rolls-Royce Ghost Elegance (EWB) at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS). Boulle Luxury worked with the Bespoke division of Rolls Royce Motor Cars Limited (www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com) to import the sea diamonds from Namibia and to produce the diamond compound in Holland and Germany that was used on the car displayed by Rolls Royce Motor Cars Limited at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show. http://Boulle.co/ha2y9 The proprietary, patent-pending Boulle Luxury finish enables ultra high-end producers of luxury automobiles, executive jets and superyachts to offer a diamond-inlay coating that is unsurpassable in strength and absolutely incomparable in beauty and visual depth. When applying the Boulle Luxury Diamond Finish, the existing paintwork is not affected and remains in situ whilst the topcoat is chemically removed and replaced with our patent-pending diamond coating. The Chairman, C.E.O. and Directors of the Jean Boulle Luxury Group include a number of former De Beers Executives who have since 2016 expanded the Group’s diamond technology from Luxury Cars into the SuperYacht and Aerospace Sectors.

We saw some cool stuff at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show. A turbocharged Mazda6. The new Corvette ZR1. The brand-new Volvo XC40. All in all, it was a pretty decent show. You should go, if you’re in town.

Fact: all generations of Porsche 911 are good, but the 964 is epic, and anything air-cooled offers a brilliant sound and driving experience that can’t be replicated with a water-cooled model. As it turns out many people agree with my wisdom, and they gather each year in Houston for an event called TejasTreffPunkt to admire these wonderful rear- (and sometimes mid-) engined automobiles.

Earlier this year, Ford unveiled the Police Responder Hybrid Sedan and F-150 Police Responder; pursuit-rated cars that, while not being as fast as some of their fully-gasoline-powered counterparts, still beat the hell of a Crown Vic. Today, Ford revealed a new offering for police: its first plug-in hybrid, which the company says can go 21 miles without burning a drop of gas.

You might have noticed that the car community is rediscovering ‘90s design. As our love for all things wedged returns, first-generation Acura NSXs are enjoying a revived popularity (and surge in sale prices). One 1991 Acura NSX in particular has probably been on your screen already. And this week, it ships out to be auctioned off for the American Red Cross.

You may remember a time when Xzibit would put your Transformer into your Transformer. But imagine someone actually putting a Transformer into a 2014 Bugatti Veyron—or at least painting it like one—and asking almost $2 million for it.

Cars of a given era tend to look alike. They’re designed with a common design vocabulary of the time and often follow common trends. Even so, cars that are dead-on doppelgängers for one another (that aren’t badge-engineered twins) are pretty rare, especially when one of the cars is one of the most-recognized vehicles ever made. That’s why I froze like I just caught my junk in my zipper when I saw pictures of the Pilát Lidovka R6.
"Now, there are many obvious visual differences between the Lidovka and a Volkswagen Beetle, but there’s something about the curves, proportions, and overall look of the car that just feels more like an old Beetle"

Sure, it's not the heaviest load, but a Miata racer gave us an opportunity to put the redesigned Ford F-350 Super Duty through its paces.
"After introducing the Super Duty in 1998, Ford kept making upgrades to the same basic cab and frame all the way up to 2016. Multiple refreshes across three generations could not hide the fact that this truck rode on old bones, making the 2017 model year redesign a welcome change."

So when car designers get a chance to play around in the gaming world, it’s a chance to be free of the rules that govern so much of what we drive. The latest Gran Turismo concept comes from McLaren, and it radically reimagines how a person would even operate a car.
