Owning a yacht that you can cruise through azure blue sea is a treasured dream. A yacht is the ultimate dream machine and a true style statement. Cruising in a personal yacht is not merely a status symbol, but a hobby of the rich and famous.

In November 2008, the famous Italian yacht making concern Cantieri di Baia (Baia) unveiled the first superyacht called the Baia One Hundred. Baia One Hundred was built in a shipyard in Naples. The brilliant team of ship designers from Baia had came up with the amazing concept of this super yacht while Carlo Galeazzi and Carlo Galeazzi were responsible for its engineering and styling respectively.

The unique design of superyacht Baia One Hundred would make it possible for you to enjoy the azure blue sky and the sparkling waters even while staying indoors because this sleek yacht has a crystal like structure covering it instead of usual hardtop cover. This sensational yacht has been especially designed with partitioning bulkheads, insulation and floating floors to keep the amount of noise and vibrations from the yacht to a minimum level while it is underway. You can enjoy a quiet time watching the sun-set or party with your friends on this beautifully decorated main salon that opens upwards to the foredeck.

Baia One hundred is a super speed yacht which would just cruise past the blue waters with its 2 x 2430 Hp MTU diesel engines with Arneson drive transmission. With this existing propulsion configuration, Baia One Hundred would be able to cruise a range of 500 nautical miles at 37 knots. However, if you are still not satisfied you might install other propulsion configurations that could boost the top speed to 50 knots.

This elegantly designed Baia One Hundred is the finest example of Baia’s ‘Open Cruiser’ model which boasts of an eclectic blend of strong sporting lines and open layout with supremely luxurious interior. It is quite sure that when you travel across in the superyacht Baia One Hundred, you might find hordes of people gawking at you.

Thus, the sweeping style of this car bears the quintessential trademark of Lamborghini but yet, there is some thing unique and fresh about the design of this car.

Since the dimensions of Lamborghini Insecta is quite similar to another popular car from the Lamborghini stable, the Lamborghini Gallardo it is quite natural that people will inevitably compare the two. Both the cars have the same length of 169 inches. Not only that, the engines fuelling both these super cars is the same V10 engine found in Gallardo which has 5.0 litre fuel capacity. But there are some fine discerning points which set the Lamborghini Insecta quite apart from the Lamborghini Gallardo. The Insecta has a much better and wider wheel base and a wider width which makes it a better design than the Gallardo as a sports car. The Insecta is an extremely lightweight car and to keep its weight under control some portions of the car has been built with especially made carbon fiber. Over all, this is a car which would woo seasoned sports car lovers very much.

I have an exclusive scoop on the source of the inspiration of the design of the yacht below.

With distributed pressure areas that beat with the music that you listen to, Jorge Furuya has developed (with Vanessa Sattele) an MP3 player design that not only is wearable, but actually envelops you in the form of a jacket.  The controls on the arm provide display of your playlist, clock, alarm, chronometer and music rhythm. The design won honorable mention in a short contest sponsored by Core77 and Popular Science Magazine.

If you prefer your MP3player to operate at high speed (120-150km/hr) and be audible without headphones, then this Motor Bike Audio Jacket SW-HP802 is for you.

Made of real leather, the jacket has it’s own amplification system and pair of speakers and will work with your MP3 player of choice.

Samsonite OBAG is a roll-on bag that looks a little bit like the Trochotote cooler. This roller bag is rounded except the two compartments stay level while moving. Whats great about a design like this is that it’s easy to maneuver, and it can get dragged up and down stairs easier.

The Manvan created by Aimee LoDuca goes above and beyond the traditional van. Before now the van was for the typical soccer mom, but never would a hardcore football fan think of buying one… until now. Aimee LoDuca puts it: “Manvan revolutionizes the traditional “soccer mom mini-van” and transforms it into the ultimate getaway for man, customizing its features to suite any lifestyle. Influenced by the Nissan NV200, the vans extendable back allows for the most outrageous amenities, as well as indoor and outdoor use.”
