Since 2003, Esquire Magazine has taken a different house and turned it into a design showcase every year, calling it the "Ultimate Bachelor Pad". The house is used to host some of the year's biggest charity and celebrity events and, since it gets terrific exposure, the property is later listed for sale.

Esquire's Ultimate Bachelor Pad of this year is located in the Doheny Estates in the Hollywood Hills and it's going to be listed for .9 million. The house has 9,000 square-foot and it was completely rebuilt from the ground up and newly outfitted by top designers.

The home was transformed into a modern indoor-outdoor lifestyle property for Esquire by the design eye of Elaine Culotti of Porta Bella. It features 11 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, an infinity pool, a two story pool, hot tub and gym, a 0,000 music studio with state of the art recording equipment, a 0,000 flight simulator that responds to body movements, an interactive 65″ multi-touch video wall from Obscura Digital featuring Hard Rock memorabilia and many, many other attractions.

The home will be premiered in October 15 with a charity event for the International Medical Corps, a global humanitarian relief organization. The event will be hosted by Sienna Miller, Jude Law and Felicity Huffman and many celebrities are expected to be in attendance.

All events hosted by the Esquire house are entered by invitation only and attract a mix of celebrities and high profile people but Esquire will also present this home to those who aren't invited in. The DIY network will show in January a TV show on re-making of this Esquire House.

Other top designers such as Mark Cutler, Annette English, Lonni Paul or Ron Boren also contributed to this wonderful Esquire home.

Johnny O’Connell, a three-time GT1 champion in the America Le Mans Series, and Andy Pilgrim, who won the 2005 SCCA World Challenge GT class in a Cadillac, will be behind the wheel of the CTS-V racecars. The first on-track tests will be conducted in late January at Sebring International Raceway.

What’s even better than a supercar? A one-of-a-kind factory prototype. And few drummed up as much excitement back in the 70s as the Mercedes-Benz C111. The experimental showcase demonstrated the epitome of performance technology and aerodynamics, and still stands as one of the most advanced prototypes ever devised in Stuttgart… or anywhere else for that matter. And now it’s back.

GWA Tuning, a Benz tweaker out of San Antonio, has breathed new life into the C111 formula with a recreation called the Ciento Once (Spanish for “one hundred eleven”). The one-off eschews the Wankel engine of the original for the AMG M120 V12 that drives the Pagani Zonda, driving 408 horsepower in this case through a six-speed transmission with the brakes from the S55 AMG and the rolling stock from the SLS. Have a closer look in the gallery below, and do try to keep the drool from puddling on the keyboard.
