2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe

Remember those BMW videos back in the day where Clive Owen was hooning, shredding tires and ultimately escorting the bitchy Madonna to a premier? If you don’t check the link, but if you do, there’s a good chance Clive would come back and escort Miley Cyrus to the next ‘Wrecking Ball’ video shoot in this 540 horsepower Alpina spec’d 6 Series. Finessed to the nines, Alpina handcrafts select powertrain and interior components bespoke to this B6 and will even deliver it to the BMW Performance Center in South Carolina if you want to grow a set and explore the limits of this finely tuned tourer. We drove the predecessor to the B6, the M6 (what seems like too long ago),

Engine: 4.4L twin-turbo V8
Horsepower: 540

2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe

If there was ever a car that you could stage a front as a mafioso hitman, the Mercedes S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe is it. This thing screams “coddle my rotting corpse in the leather-trimmed sport seats” while doing (an electronically limited) 186 mph. Horsepower and torque are massive and standard AMG fare at 577 and 664, respectively. And though the days of sneezing on the accelerator and lighting up the rear tires are gone, with Mercedes 4Matic, this 4,400-pound rocket will do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds—though if you ask us, they’re being conservatively German.

SPEC CHECK
Price: TBA
Engine: 5.5L twin-turbo V8
Horsepower: 577
Torque: 664 lb.-ft
0-60: 3.9 seconds
Top Speed: 186* mph (*electronically limited)

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Take the 911 and compress it into the fundamental sports car it once was, and you have the new Cayman GTS. Taking mid-engine sex appeal to the next level, the GTS (GranTurismo Sport) comes with 340 horsepower, Porsche’s racetrack oriented Chronopackage standard, and the hankering to beat up on older, wrinkled 911 owners. And hey, it also comes standard with an amazing 6-speed manual; that’s if you still know how to drive one of those.

SPEC CHECK
Price: TBA
Engine: 3.4L flat-six
Horsepower: 340
Torque: 280 lb.-ft
0-60: 3.6 seconds

Motorcycle We Want: Harley Softail Slim ‘Crowned Stallion’ .

If there was ever a bike we’d ride on the back of with another man, it would 100-percent be this Harley Softail Slim modified by Rough Crafts (and the guy would be Jack Nicholson). Normally, we would only condone two grown-ass men riding a motorcycle together if they were back to back and the passenger was carrying a submachine gun. However, in this case we’d make an exception because even with the 76-year-old Nicholson at the helm, picking up chicks or seeming badass wouldn’t be an issue. Hell, it might even help.

What makes the Taiwanese ‘Crowned Stallion’ so worthy is the ingenuity to assimilate American iron with modern Taiwan swagger. The gearheads over at Rough Crafts built the Softail to a buyer’s exacting specs—gothic flair with vintage finishing. Sometimes gold can be tacky, but in this case it’s perfectly executed. Now, if only we could find those smokes (and Jack) and go for a ride.

Facebook Buys Oculus - And the Future of Virtual Reality

You hear that noise? It’s the death knell of millions of gamers’ dreams, and it’s all because Facebook just dropped $2B to buy Oculus, a little company that's developing an astoundingly excellent home virtual reality system that many gamers believed would herald the next generation of video games and electronic experiences.

In an open letter posted yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg detailed Facebook’s plans for Oculus and their virtual reality headset, called The Rift. While he did pay lip service to the gamers most outraged by the buyout, promising that plans for The Rift and its gaming capabilities wouldn’t change, his long-term intentions of turning the VR headset into a medium to share “full” experiences on Facebook is more than a little concerning in an era where privacy is disappearing, one status update or check-in at a time.

We’ll reserve judgment until Facebook makes good on bringing the little VR-headset-that-could to market. Until then, we’ll watch videos like the one below and dream of a day when virtual behind-the-scenes tours of our cover girl photo shoots can be shared on our Facebook page.
