…The Porsche Design Cayenne looks blackalicious?

Porsche Design Cayenne

The Porsche Cayman S Design Edition proved that the stunner from Stuttgart looks even better in tones of black, and apparently Porsche agreed, because they went on to create a Boxster S Design Edition, and now, a Cayenne GTS Design Edition.

The all black beauty gets special black striping on the doors and hood, along with 21-inch SportPlus wheels that are painted to match.

Inside, it’s plenty of carbon fiber and black leather to coddle and comfort the driver, and ‘Porsche Design Edition 3’ badging can be found both inside and out.

The big selling point however is that in addition to the SUV, buyers get Porsche Design accessories that match, including a chronograph watch and a four piece luggage set.

Not fond of black?

That’s just too damn bad.

…It’s Things Thursday: Dr. Martens For Life?

Dr. Martens For Life

Nothing lasts forever, but at least with the new Dr. Martens For Life boots and shoes, your footwear can last as long as you do.

Thanks to added weight and thickness in the inner core of the sole and a highly resistant and supple leather called Hardlife, the new For Life line comes with a lifetime guarantee, meaning when they eventually wear out, Dr. Martens will repair them, and will continue to repair them for the rest of your life – guaranteed.

…The Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is perfection?

Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce

When Lamborghini decides to build a car like the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, you don’t ask questions, you just say thank you and quietly pick your jaw up off the floor.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce Details

Lamborghini themselves even describe this car as “exceptionally purist”, and I can’t find any reason to disagree. The 670 indicates a horsepower jump from the already potent LP 640 to 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque out of the 6.5L V12. Extra power wasn’t the only thing Lamborghini managed to squeeze out of the package though, as more than 220 lbs of weight savings have occurred, leaving the car with a 0-62 time of just 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 212 mph. However, if you opt for the larger “Aeropack Wing”, the added downforce will limit you to only 209 mph.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce Interior

Minor, yet still stunning details include a new engine cover with three hexagonal, transparent polymer plates supported by a carbon fiber framework, and an interior that is upholstered entirely in Alcantara with stitching that matches the exterior color of the car. Finally, the fighter pilot theme is carried over from the Reventon, with landing strip accents on the seats and floor panels.

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce isn’t a car that anyone needs, but when it takes an entire breath of air to say the very large and very Italian name, and each word sounds faster than the next, you know it’s a car that almost everyone is going to want.

…James Piatt uses Tinkerbell to make fun of Paris Hilton?

James Piatt Tinkerbell Purse

If you’re worried that people have stopped calling your purse silly and extreme, then check out the Tinkerbell purse from James Piatt.

The purse, which looks like an upside down dead Chihuahua (made of leather), is based on Paris Hilton’s discarded pet Tinkerbell, and is meant to capitalize on the trend of carrying a small dog as a fashion accessory.

…It’s Things Thursday: Etymotic Research ety8?

Etymotic Research ety8

Etymotic Research’s ety8 Bluetooth Wireless Earphones are “the world’s first in-ear high fidelity, noise-isolating earphones”.

By using the optional 8•Mate adapter for your iPod, you can send music wirelessly to your earphones, and enjoy the crystal clear sound that Etymotic Research is known for. (They don’t call themselves the “World Leader of In-Ear Technology for nothing!)

The full kit includes a leather case, various eartips, a USB charging cable, and a filter changing tool and filters. Plus, if you’re using these on a device that already has Bluetooth built in, you can skip the iPod adapter and save a few bucks as well.
