The 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost China Limited Edition car


The 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase car — for the brand’s discerning clientele – made its official debut at the Shanghai Motor Show today. The super-luxurious vehicle measures 170mm longer than the standard model, allowing extra space for roomy relaxation while enjoying the epitome of luxury during a chauffeured drive. 
Special touches of luxury possessed by the Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase include the car’s panoramic sunroof which allows for tons of natural light, as well as the ample leg-room in the cabin’s passenger compartment for the ultimate comfortable ride. For those who prefer to ride sans chauffeur, Rolls-Royce insists the Ghost Extended Wheelbase is just as manoeuvrable as the smaller version, despite its added length.



The Ghost Extended Wheelbase was unveiled alongside the company’s lavish Ghost China Edition, a bespoke version introduced specifically for the robust Chinese luxury car market. Showcasing a slew of spectacular options, the China Edition car is available with a stunning consort red interior, stainless steel pinstriping, gold coachlines and a gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase will be sold in extremely limited quantities for the remainder of 2011 — full production begins in 2012.

AK47 assault rifles and skulls in Swarovski crystals



AK47 assault rifle created entirely from Swarovski crystals by Italian sculptor Nicola Bolla. The contemporary artist uses Swarovski crystals to create stunning works of art, which include an AK47 assault rifle and remains of the human body. Visionnaire was presented an Ossuary, a site specific project by Nicola Bolla, at the Milan Design Week (April 12-17, 2011) features 15 individual pieces, including skulls, a ribcage, thighbones and chests differently worn out by the passing of time.



While the installation may seem disturbing, it has caused a stir at the Milan show. Renowned British artist Damien Hirst lately sparked a controversy with his baby skull that’s cast in platinum and festooned with 8,128 pave-set white and pink diamonds.
