In addition to a limited edition GT C, Mercedes-AMG will continue to celebrate its 50th anniversary with a G63. Once again limited to only a run of 50 cars, this limited edition G63 will only be available in Japan. An exclusive Mauritius Blue will cover the SUV which rides on 20-inch black AMG wheels with black also covering the bumpers, wheel arches, wing mirrors, spare wheel cover and roof. Buyers will have four leather interior designs to choose from: black, black and tan, black and brown, and black and cream. The same blue paint from the outside also makes its way inside the cabin via stitching.
The limited edition Japan-only Mercedes-AMG G63 will start at ¥22.2 million JPY, or about $195,000 USD.






To help commemorate the 40th anniversary of the cult classic Star Wars franchise, Mercedes-Benz Japan went about creating a limited edition of its CLA 180 model. Limited to just 120 prototypes, 60 take on a “Calcite White” color scheme to honor the stormtrooper and the remaining 60 in “Night Black” to memorialize Darth Vader himself. Performance-wise, each comes equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder turbo drive engine — good for 120 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. Although subtle, welcome lights display the Star Wars logo while the menu display features key characters such as Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker.



Renault look to reimagine the future of F1 racing with the RS 2027 Vision Concept. Unveiled earlier this year at the Shanghai Motor Show, the technological mockup explores the notion of closed cockpits, likely taking into consideration both aesthetics and safety factors. Fashioned from 3D-printed recycled material, the cockpit design will be completely transparent, as will be the driver helmut — offering absolute visibility while tearing up the blacktop.

KICKS: adidas Resurrects David Beckham's Iconic "Champagne" Predators / adidas Refreshes the UltraBOOST ATR Mid in Khaki

Today marks David Beckham‘s 41st birthday and, to celebrate, adidas has unveiled plans to bring back one of the most iconic football boots of all-time: Beckham’s “Champagne” Predator Mania. Originally worn by Beckham in 2002 in his final season at Old Trafford before moving on to the Bernabéu, the champagne-colored kicks became an instant classic upon their debut thanks to their cream-colored upper, stitched-in Predator tech, distinctive asymmetrical lacing, and bold red tongue. Here, the 2017 re-release is faithful to the original, but now employs a modern outsole with Sprintframe construction for lightweight support and balance. Best of all, though? adi has crafted a matching take on the PureControl UltraBOOST to coincide with the release, not to mention corresponding iterations of the ACE 17+ PureControl and Copa for the pitch.
The full “Champagne” pack is set to hit select adidas spots and adidas.com this Wednesday, May 3, in limited quantities.



After releasing the UltraBOOST ATR Mid in a fiery red colorway, adidas tones things down for the upcoming fall season. The latest rendition of the silhouette, which was introduced to us late last year, sees tonal light brown hues throughout the sneaker, along with matching laces. The Primeknit upper embraces a speckled design, along with functional details including a tan pull tab and stabilizer along the heel. Complete with a full-length BOOST sole in crisp white, these sneakers are estimated hit shelves at select retailers in the fall. Take a closer look above and be sure to check back for more details on an official release date.

Take a Look at Fyre Festival's Ridiculous Pitch Deck

Fyre Festival‘s pitch deck, the presentation the organizers showed to potential investors, has been leaked to Vanity Fair and it is just the latest embarrassment for the festival. Since news broke on Friday of the realities of Fyre Festival, the luxury event co-founded by Ja Rule that ended in spectacular failure, things have gone from bad to worse for the organizers. The latest revelation is the leaked pitch deck, which shows examples of why ex-employees have lined up to say that the festival was always doomed.
The Fyre Festival section of the deck gets off to a strange start, opening with a quote from Rumi, a 13th century philosopher and poet, before going on to describe the festival as “something that’s hard to put to words. It will IGNITE that type of ENERGY, that type of POWER in our guests.” The festival’s organizers then refer to themselves as the “Fyre Squad” and detail their plan to use influencers, or “Fyre Starters” as they call them, to market the event. The pitch deck also ambitiously refers to the festival as “the cultural experience of the decade,” which in hindsight couldn’t be further from the truth. Head over to >Vanity Fair if you want to read Fyre Festival’s ridiculous pitch deck in full.
In the inevitable fallout from the event, it has now emerged that Ja Rule and his business partner Billy McFarland are banned from working in the Bahamas and a class action lawsuit has been filed against them.
