Audi RS

In company Audi AG very much like to operate accurately and clearly. After a premiere of serial model practically time of sports version S at once comes, and the gloomy determination in the name of the RS-version leaves trace on a scene also. Certainly, last option exists only for several models. As a rule, the given version wait more strongly the others, after all it as a rule an embodiment of high technologies which became for a long time already the company motto.

Recently family RS totaled only two models — RS4 and RS6. Someone even has started to think of extinction of this kind, but recently left new Audi RS6, and the absolute novelty — Audi TT RS has appeared trace also. It is quite probable, that in Audi TT RS, sports more than in the predecessor.

Here only hardly these sports can be beheld from apart. The impression is made, that appearance sports Audi create specially that they were not especially allocated in a city stream. Certainly, changes are, but they, as always, the trivial. There are 18-inch disks, in a forward bumper there are the big air inlets, slightly changed back bumper with an exhaust pipe.

Besides it there is button Sport switching the car in a sports mode. The motor, a suspension bracket and ESP — all passes in a fighting mode.

Time X

Time XStraight out of Poland, Damian Kozlik has designed an interesting if not confusing timepiece dubbed “X-Watch”. His attempt at a universal time piece able to be used by sighted and the blind is a step in the right direction.

Not sure if X marks the right spot on this one but his rubber strap housing carries an array of LEDs behind graduated glass with extruded braille numbers that chris-cross to highlight and center the correct time.

Seems like a lot of acrobatics just to tell time, but maybe life is truly in the journey and not the destination… even when counting the hours. If you ask for more details, our heads may explode. This was a hard one to figure out…let it go.
