To stay on the cheaper headset technology, you're bound to use a legacy game engine like Unity3D and a team of skilled gameDevs. Most of this (except the steering) could also be run as an interactiveUSDZ on an iPhone/iPad or the Apple Vision Pro. With iOS18 and visionOS2 Apple solves the industries' biggest problem, polyCount / LOD in a whole new way - SubDivision surfaces. Those use very few vertices, but create bspline-smooth surfaces by retesselating this in micro facets - just the visible and nearby sections. It's Apple's answer to Epics NANITE.

LOT 164 Munich <> RM Sotheby's 2020 BMW M2 CS Offered from The Road and Track Collection €80,000 - €100,000 EUR  | Offered Without Reserve  | München, Germany Chassis No. WBS1J310307G32818 Documents French Certificat d’Immatriculation To be offered on Saturday, 25 November 2023 Part of The Road and Track Collection Powered by a 444-brake-horsepower 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged S55 engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox One owner from new with a full BMW service history; odometer reads just 2,110 kilometres Finished in Misano Blue Metallic over a Black Nappa leather interior with Alcantara and carbon fibre highlights Launched in late-2019, the BMW M2 CS became the peak performance offering in the 2 Series range. Powered by a 444 brake-horsepower derivative of the S55 six-cylinder engine from the M4 Competition, a factory six-speed manual gearbox was offered as standard alongside the option of a seven-speed DCT transmission. The M2 CS was the first M2 to feature a carbon fibre roof and all cars benefitted from adaptive M suspension. Four colours were available: Alpine White, Black Saphire, Hockenheim Silver, and Misano Blue Metallic. The consigning owner ordered this BMW M2 CS new in 2020 and registered the car shortly after. BMW Valence replaced the factory exhaust backbox with an Akrapovic unit at a cost of €6,000; the original item accompanies the car. With occasional use, this Misano Blue Metallic, six-speed manual-gearbox example has covered just 2,110 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. This M2 CS has full and up-to-date BMW service history, most recently having its oil changed on 28 July 2023. Furthermore, the paintwork has been ceramic coated. With arguably the most striking M2 CS colour scheme and a smattering of carbon fibre components, this BMW truly embodies the performance focused, rear-wheel drive, manual transmission, six-cylinder cars for which the Munich company has become so well known. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale 

In a world moving rapidly towards AI and cutting-edge technology, there's a certain allure to vintage mobility that continues to captivate hearts. As a designer with a deep appreciation for both the past and the future, I've embarked on a journey to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation. My latest time-lapse drawing showcases the iconic Ducati 160 Sport 1968, a symbol of timeless elegance and engineering excellence. But amidst the age of artificial intelligence, I find myself pondering: What is it about vintage designs that resonates so deeply with us? Perhaps it's the connection to a simpler time, where craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount. Or maybe it's the undeniable sense of nostalgia that these classic bikes evoke, transporting us to an era filled with adventure and freedom. Yet, as we embrace modernity and the advancements it brings, there's a question that lingers: Are we losing touch with the essence that made these vintage designs so special? Is there something intangible, something ineffable, that we're struggling to translate into new designs? https://lnkd.in/f5Hida4 #VintageMobility #TimelessDesign #Ducati160Sport #DrawingProcess #EmbracingTradition #BridgingTheGap #DesignJourney

The 1987 Audi Quattro remains a testament to innovation, setting a standard for high performance and innovative design that has made it an icon in the automotive industry. 1987 AUDI UR QUATTRO €17,500 CURRENT BID 40:40:03 THURSDAY 11:52 AM This Audi Ur Quattro is a solid example of the desirable rally-derived icon, which is noted to present in highly original condition and boasting just four owners from new. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.1-litre inline-five, developing around 200hp and sending it to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The original Audi Quattro is now often described as the ‘Ur’ Quattro to help differentiate the model from Audi's eponymous four-wheel-drive system and also from later four-wheel drive models. 'Ur' refers to a German prefix meaning earliest or original. The odometer of this example shows a modest 87,794 kilometres from new. CAR OVERVIEW 87,794 Km Manual LHD Silver Grey Black 2.1L VIN WAUZZZ85ZHA900520 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES   This Ur Quattro is finished in an attractive silver-grey hue with black Audi decals on the doors, black and silver plates, and a black leather-trimmed cabin.

Accompanying the vehicle will be an impressive selection of maintenance invoices.  SUMMARY   The Ur, or ‘Original’, Quattro was a revolutionary car at its launch, with performance rivalling the contemporary Ferraris and Porsches of its day. This example would perhaps benefit from a routine service based on the time elapsed since its last, but once performed it will no doubt be ready to be enjoyed as a rewarding companion for enthusiastic weekend drives, longer-distance road trips, and classic car show visits alike.   #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale

LOT 109 Munich 2011 Lexus LFA €500,000 - €600,000 EUR  | Offered Without Reserve  | München, Germany Chassis No. JTHHX8BH8B1000209 Serial No. LFA 211 Documents Cancelled Swiss Carte Grise To be offered on Saturday, 25 November 2023 Finished in Whitest White over a Blue leather interior Numbered 211 of 500 LFAs produced between 2010 and 2012 Powered by a 552 horsepower 4.8-litre V-10 engine Odometer reads just 6,109 kilometres at the time of cataloguing The Lexus LFA came about as the pet project of Akio Toyoda, CEO of Toyota, who—after years of overseeing the mass production of road cars—wanted to build a supercar to challenge those being offered by the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche. In development for many years, the Lexus LFA was revealed at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, and it immediately became clear that the Japanese marque had produced something truly special. Among the LFA’s most remarkable features is its 552 horsepower 4.8-litre V-10 engine, co-developed with Yamaha and built in the same facility that manufactured Toyota Racing’s Formula 1 V-10 powertrain. The block is a space-age blend of aluminium, magnesium, and titanium alloy, which allowed it to be smaller than an equivalent V-8, and lighter than even an equivalent V-6. This incredible powerplant is mated to a lightning-quick, six-speed automated sequential manual transmission. The stunning LFA offered here is serial number 211 of the 500 examples produced, and one of just 44 left-hand-drive examples clad in Whitest White paintwork. Completed in November 2011, it left the factory destined for the Middle Eastern market. As with each LFA, the cabin is a completely bespoke affair. This particular example was specified with a blue interior featuring blue carpets; leather upholstery, dashboard, and door cards; a carbon fibre-and-leather clad steering wheel; and gloss carbon fibre accents with aluminium trim. The LFA’s stunning performance, astounding drivetrain, exotic construction, and sharp styling have all contributed to its enduring mystique and collectability. The low mileage and attractive specification of this example only adds to that appeal. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale
