SUPER X, MOTO X and BIG AIR

Part of the Mage crew got to check out the X-games down at Coliseum stadium on Thursday afternoon, where Jake Brown threw down hard on the Big Air and Travis Pastrana surprised the crowd with a double backflip in his victory lap at the Moto X Freestyle. The def motocross starlet Ashley Fiolek won gold in the Moto X Super X women, and smoked the rest of the ladies after Patterson crashed hard in the fourth lap. Shift representative Josh Grant won the Men’s final, passing Josh Hansen in the 11th lap, and with Justin Brayton squezing Hansen even further back he rolled in at third place for the bronze.

Agressive Organic Dezir(e)

Renault has been sitting on a new concept , and we’ve only seen a few preview glimpse before these nice pictures dropped a little while back. The DeZir is the first step in a different design direction for Renault, trying broaden their target audience from small families to the speed junkies. The electric powered concept is the first work of Renault’s chief designer Laurent Van Den Acker, and I think that it shows great initative towards the electric car race for the future. The engine is mounted mid-rear position to optimize weight distribution and it shoots off from 0 to 100 km/h in five seconds.

Video presentation of the concept car.

Automotive design house Pininfarina may have just designed a new Alpha Romeo for Prince to make another jam too. Dudes need not apply to this car.

Ventura Beatnik Blowout

Oscar and I headed up to the Ventura Beatnik Blowout a couple of weekend’s back, to gawk at some of America’s most attractive rides. Partly just to check out the scene and to do some research for Oscar’s 66 Ford F-100, that will be rolling the streets soon. After a taking a million pictures, consuming a hotdog, purchasing some Mooneyes stickers and a Mexican blanket we rolled back to LA both visually satisfied and inspired.

Citroen Metropolis

As Brian has mentioned earlier Citroen is really coming together and producing some stunning cars lately, and the Metropolis can definitely be added to the bunch. When we think of streched limousines here in the US our thoughts go towards, Lincolns, Benz and Maybachs and not Citroens, but the french automakers are ready to break some ground with this new Metropolis. It’s currently just a concept car and is due to be unveiled next month at the Shanghai Motor show, right after the Beijing expo where BMW is to debut their new 5-series and the Audi with the new A8 L. However, the Metropolis is said to be even bigger and longer than any of these cars, streching a whole 5.3 meters in length, 2 meter is width and 1.4 meters high. The Citroen Metropolis is power by a hybrid powertrain featuring a 2-litre V6 petrol engine developing 272bhp (200kW) and 375Nm of torque and an electric motor with 95bhp (70kW). The company says that when both, the combustion engine and the electric motor are in use, the Citroen Metropolis develops 460bhp (345kW) and 430Nm of torque. This means that the power units of the Citroen Metropolis, when working together, output more than their added performance.

American Steel

No New car out there can touch the character and flat out good looks of these old American Classics… Just my opinion.
