Breitling's highly capable Avenger Seawolf Chrono is jumping on the blacked-out bandwagon with a durable carbon-based treatment with accents of red-rimmed dials and luminous markers.

You are looking at the motorcycle equivalent of the Bugatti Veyron, a 211 mile per hour monster that as of now has the title of the most powerful production bike on the road. And in case you're not brave enough to sit on what is essentially a land based cruise missle, there will also be 170 and 184 hp versions which lack the supercharger of the range topping model.

While its easy to play the role of the purist and complain about any Porsche that's not a 911, the Cayenne has done quite a lot for the fans being that its the company's best selling car and gives R&D more money to improve upon the 911 program. That said, Porsche's got a new Cayenne and its leaner, more efficient, and a hell of a lot better looking. The two major highlights of the new Cayenne lineup are S Hybrid and Turbo models. The least mpg-friendly of the two will have a 4.8 liter biturbo 500 hp V8 whereas the S Hybrid while still powerful, utilizes a 3 liter supercharged V6 electric hybrid engine delivering a total of 333 horsepower and an impressive 34.4 mpg.

While a soft spot will always remain for the big and boxy Benzes of yore, its designs like the new CLS Shooting Break Concept that keeps us excited for what's to come. The design, which is a close indicator of the final model (and even more excitingly, the new CLS sedan), is a significant evolution of the curvy lines of the former CLS with sculpted lines and a new aggressive stance. Engine options will vary from a new direct injection V6 all the way to a 4.6 liter V8 that will deliver around 435 horsepower.Link / Source

One of the big showstoppers at the Baseworld Watch Expo in Switzerland comes via Rolex stablemate, Tudor, with a modern rendition of their Monte Carlo. Some subtle differences from the original include a larger 42mm case, knurled details on the crown, pushers, and bezel edge, and 3D applique hour markers versus the printed markers on the original. The watch will house a 7734 Valjoux movement and will be available with a steel bracelet or NATO strap option. Link / Source

One of the best looking cars in Audi's current line up is now one of their fastest. The A5 coupe is getting the RS treatment this year taking on a new version of the V8 used in the RS4. The naturally aspirated 4.2 liter V8 produces 450 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. That will take you from 0-62 in 4.6 seconds, all the way to a top speed of 174 mph with the governor removed. Link
