The exteriors are further enhanced by the HRE wheels. Even though the changes to the interior remain limited, there will be individually numbered plaques and doors with an embroidered dragon.

The mean machine is powered by a 6.5-liter V-12 engine capable of developing up to 760 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque. The engine benefits from a titanium exhaust system and an optimized ECU.

Skyway or the Highway







As maneuverable as they are, emergency helicopters still have limitations like relatively low speed and limited reach with their large rotors  that prevent them from landing close to objects. The Skyway concept concentrates on eliminating these setbacks by utilizing a unique multi-fan propulsion system that makes it smaller, faster, more stable, safer, and all-in-all better equipped to access emergency situations that even ground ambulances might have trouble getting to. You gotta check out the vid to see how this bad boy works!

Video gives viewers a sneak peek at Britain’s gold reserves!



Not every one of us is lucky enough to have stepped into the walls of the Fort Knox. For those who have, staring at walls of pure golden bricks isn’t all that awesome. And for those who haven’t, folks like us to be precise, a sight as such is stunning! A recent video by University of Nottingham professor Martyn Poliakoff gives viewers an inside look at the massive gold reserves at the Bank of England. Completely in love with the metal that the rest of us seem to love too, Martyn works on a Web site and YouTube channel known as The Periodic Table of Videos for which the video was created.
Currently, the United Kingdom has packed away in its depths nearly 197 billion British pounds ($315 billion). All of this is in bars of pure gold that have been stored securely in a high security vault. The video of course does not divulge the location of this vault. Grab a glimpse of one of the biggest stores of gold in the world with the video above!

World's tallest building, Sky City will rise to 838 meters in just 210 days in China




Sky-high buildings are rising tall to compete for the crown of world's tallest building. We've seen Burj Khalifa stand out as the tallest building in the world as of yet. But it will soon be toppled off from this tall honor as many competing structures are in the making to shine as the tallest building soon. The latest entrant is the Sky City which is all set to rise high in China as the world’s tallest skyscraper. Another record this structure intends to set is the time frame in which it plans to be built. Earlier it was estimated to be build in 90 days only. However that has been pushed further to 210 days which if achieved will be a record too. As the current tallest tower, Burj Khalifa took about five years to complete which is almost 9 times more. Sky City will not only rise 10 meters higher than the Burj Khalifa but will also be the least expensive tallest building as it is estimated to cost $628 million which is less than half of Burj Khalifa’s $1.5 billion price tag.
