Not only does the dynamically-styled and fun-to-drive 2011 Eclipse Coupe enter the new model year with enticing new design elements and expanded equipment for Mitsubishi’s outstanding sports car, but the Japanese auto manufacturer’s signature two-door model does so at the lowest price point ever for this generation of Eclipse.

Available in three trim levels – the 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission-equipped Eclipse GS, the well-appointed mid-grade Eclipse GS Sport with a 4-speed automatic transmission, and the top-of-the-line Eclipse GT and its enthusiast driver-oriented 5-speed Sportronic? automatic transmission with manual shifting capability – the Eclipse Coupe is produced right here in the United States alongside the company’s family-friendly Endeavor crossover SUV, the affordably-priced but remarkably well-equipped mid-size Galant luxury sports sedan, and the Eclipse Coupe’s top-down sibling, the Eclipse Spyder.

When Mercedes Benz has a new model due for production, it likes to take the basis of that model and mix it up with some other styles to preview the new car. This happens here with the Shooting Brake concept – under the partial disguise this will form the basis of the replacement for the Mercedes CLS.

The Shooting Brake is as its classical English designation suggests a coupe with an stationwagon-like roof line, but will likely lose this in production format and revert to a 4 door coupe as the last generation CLS was.

There are hints of the new SLS sports car in the front grille that will be carried over into the next CLS, but it remains to be seen if the boat tail treatment above the rear wheels will also make it onto the production car – time will tell…

Maximilian Büsser & Jean-Christophe Bedos

What goes round, comes around….
Exactly ten years ago Maximilian Büsser had the privilege of creating the Opus series at Harry Winston. At that time the jeweler would approach a watchmaker with the idea of creating an exceptional timepiece. Today, in an amazing twist of fate, the young horological Concept Laboratory, MB&F, teams up with the prestigious 152 year old high jewelry legend Boucheron, to create the first ever JWLRYMACHINE.
Why Boucheron? Because of their incredible mastery of three-dimensional haute joaillerie; because of their dedication to creating powerful and emotional-charged creations that leave no one unmoved; and quite simply because both parties thoroughly enjoyed working together!
They each bring to the table a particular expertise and the end result are these incredible pieces neither would, or could, have created on their own. That is the power of what MB&F calls their “Performance Art” pieces.

Under the intricate Boucheron haute joaillerie of this Jwlrymachine beats the heart of the complex 305-component Engine of the MB&F Horological Machine No.3. In fact, when you move this haute joaillerie owl, which is reminiscent of Boucheron's most beautiful creations, you can only be intrigued by the fluttering of its breast feathers, which is a visual illusion created by the faintly perceived oscillations beneath the translucent stone of MB&F's solid-gold battle-axe-shaped rotor.

The result will have many staring in disbelief. You may love it or hate it, but the level of craftsmanship is just mind-boggling.

As if the Citroën Survolt didn’t have creative enough a color scheme going on as it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the French automaker has offered up the diminutive, conceptual electric sportscar as a canvas for an even more colorful interpretation.

A collaboration between Citroën and French artist Francoise Nielly, the resprayed Survolt just may be expressive enough to give all those BMW art cars a run for their money. The one-of-a-kind vehicle is set to displayed at C42, Citroën’s flagship showroom on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, but if your Air France frequent flier miles isn’t up to the job just yet, you can take the shorter trip to our own gallery below for a closer look.
