Behold the Airbus Pop.Up Flying Vehicle Concept.
A vision of modular megacity transit by the aircraft manufacturer (in collaboration with Italdesign) which envisages the rolling/flying passenger pods interacting with rail, subway and hyperloops to create a ‘seamlessly integrated mobility solution’.

The majestic Moscow Metro (opened by Stalin in 1935) photographed over two weeks last year by Canadian photographer David Burdeny.
Burdeny spent a year trying to gain permission for the shoot and had to work after midnight, paying by the hour to capture the opulent interiors of various city stations, emptied of passengers.
Currently on show at the Jennifer Kostuik Gallery in Vancouver as part of an exhibition entitled A Bright Future – New Works from Russia.

A rare, curvaceous 1957 Jaguar XKSS .
In 1957, a fire at Jaguar’s Browns Lane plant in Coventry destroyed every unfinished XKSS chassis. This car was one of only sixteen to have been shipped before the fire.
Having won a series of races in Canada between 1957 and 1961, it was fully restored to Concours quality by its current owner, who acquired it in 1997.

Behold: the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG003S – a road legal version of Manifattura Automobili Torino’s Nürburgring-bothering 3.5L V6 SCG003C.
Constructed with the same lightweight carbon fibre chassis but with a far more powerful 800bhp 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine (0-100 km/h in under 3s and a top speed of 350km/h), would make it around the Nordschleife in six minutes and thirty seconds – faster than any other road legal production car.
