The BUGATTI Bolide is the most extreme, uncompromising, fastest and lightest vehicle concept in the company’s recent history. Bugatti has announced that all 40 Bolides have been sold, costing $4.8 million each for Bugatti’s most radical model ever designed. The BUGATTI Bolide’s incredible power-to-weight ratio of 0.67 kg per PS is made possible by the combination of the W16 engine with 1,850 PS and a vehicle weight of just 1,240 kilograms. The BUGATTI Bolide achieves values that almost approach Formula 1, its top speed is well over 500 km/h - without compromising maximum handling and agility. EXTREME LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGHEST STRENGTH To achieve the dry weight of just 1,240 kg, the BUGATTI team had to pull out all the stops. A completely new carbon monocoque was developed around the drivetrain. The integral stem flanged to it is made of high-strength carbon fibers, as are the underbody and the monocoque itself, which are fully aerodynamically effective. The tensile strength and stiffness of all composites - from the individual carbon fibers to the high-strength aerospace stainless steel - offer durability levels only achieved in aerospace. The extensive use of 3D-printed lightweight materials, the hollow construction of many components and the titanium bolts and fasteners are just a few examples of the high-end motorsport technology used in the BUGATTI Bolide. AERODYNAMICS: MASTERING THE WIND The best that BUGATTI has to offer in terms of aerodynamics has been combined in the Bolide. The combination of an athletic body inspired by the Le Mans prototypes and the extensive use of wings and flaps generates 2,600 kg of downforce at 320 km/h, 800 at the front and 1,800 at the rear. A world first is the morphable outer skin of the intake scoop on the roof, which provides active airflow optimization. At low speeds, the surface of the scoop remains smooth. At high speeds, on the other hand, a bubble field bulges out, reducing the air resistance of the scoop by 10 percent and the lift force by 17 percent. With an overall height of just 995 millimeters, the BUGATTI Bolide is exactly the same height as the historic BUGATTI Type 35 and around 22 centimeters flatter than the Chiron. AVIATION DESIGN The ultra-sporty driver’s seating permits the low-slung shape of an automotive low-flying aircraft. It is therefore not surprising that the appearance of the BUGATTI Bolide is reminiscent of the so-called X-planes of aviation history, with a clear X signature from every perspective. It is indirectly reminiscent of the first jet aircraft to break the sound barrier at Mach 1.06 in 1947. The BUGATTI Bolide “X-periment” has the shape of an aerodynamically optimized, uncompromising race car and offers superlative ultra sporting performance - without a hint of luxury. By ML Staff.

Luxury Italian coachbuilder ARES Design has launched its latest iteration of the BMW R NineT, the ARES Bullet. It is the third motorbike model created by the Modenese atelier and a limited edition run of 25 bikes is planned. Created to offer enhanced riding pleasure, the ARES Bullet for BMW R NineT has a smoother, yet more responsive riding experience, making the eye-catching bike ideal for short trips and long-distance journeys. While the bike sports the standard suspension layout, ARES designers incorporated a fully adjustable shock absorber spring to the rear. This permits the rider to switch on, or off, the spring reload and release, allowing them to maximise the Bullet’s engaging handling characteristics. Drawing its style inspiration from past racers, the ARES Bullet for BMW R NineT sports a typically sharp fairing with an integrated LED headlight. The striking livery connects the front fairing with the tank and side faring while, underneath the engine, a small carbon spoiler wraps around the exhaust manifolds. While acting as a heat shield, this also adds a final flourish of colour and detail to the underside of the bike. The tank sports black leather knee pads with yellow stitching detail, which is carried through onto the saddle. The ARES Bullet is equipped with a custom-built 2-in-2 exhaust system, designed to accommodate the heat shields and finished in matt black. To accommodate the new retro-styled tail, which houses the bike’s ECU, the saddle housing sits 4cm higher which, coupled with low-slung handlebars and newly positioned foot pegs, enables the rider to enjoy a sportier riding position. The bike’s powerhouse, the 1170cc twin-cylinder boxer engine, remains the same as the donor bike save for the air intake box, which has been removed. In its place are two open conical sport filters, which, along with the remapped ECU, gives the ARES Bullet an all-new and distinctive intake sound, differentiating it from the donor bike. All new structures (fairing, tail, tank) have been designed by ARES Centro Stile and are made of carbon fibre. All leather components are handmade by the company’s in-house craftsmen, while ARES’ paint department applied the fully customisable and eye-catching livery. The ARES Bullet for BMW R NineT will be made to order in a limited series of just 25 motorcycles. The order book is now open with delivery two months from order. ARES, ENGINEERS OF EMOTIONS ARES’ unique facility delivers a new level of design, development, manufacture and sales of coach-built and unique cars in the heart of Italy and through an expanding global network of studios. The advanced 23,000 m² ARES facility in Modena opened in January 2018 and, in bringing all facets of coachbuilding under one roof, immediately set a new global standard for the design, development, production and handover of bespoke, personalised and unique cars. ARES Executive Chairman Dany Bahar, along with his long-term Dubai-based business partner and ARES Executive Chairman, Waleed Al Ghafari, founded ARES and spotted the opportunity to move the coachbuilding business to another level of service by developing the world’s first ‘concept-to-creation’ coachbuilding facility. Together they attracted a group of experienced and passionate multinational shareholders. For the first time, every aspect of bringing automotive dreams to reality take place under one roof in rapid time and to an extremely high level of quality. It is a unique combination of luxury car brand resources with artisan principles and skills. Merging traditional Italian craftsmanship values with the advanced ones, ARES realises the dreams and visions of enthusiasts creating one-off, unparalleled vehicles, impossible to obtain elsewhere. To this end, a shared creative experience that aims at providing a completely tailor-made product. This is the ultimate answer to the ongoing demand for customisation and the desire to stand out from the crowd of our own time. ARES Modena is located at 151 NE 41 Street, Miami Design District.

Eloise Kubli, ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), president of Collective Construction & Design, Inc. (CCD) in Plantation, Florida, is pleased to announce that she is the recipient of the ASID Florida South Chapter’s “Inclusion by Design” 2022 Design Excellence Award. Kubli won the first place award in the Wild Card category for its “Man Cave” Project in Boca Raton, Florida. The ASID Florida South Design Excellence Awards is one of the longest-running design competition in the chapter's history. This competition recognizes projects by ASID Florida South Chapter members, as well as the greater South Florida design community who embody excellence in interior design. The project involved transforming a vacant warehouse space without utilities into a dream retreat for a classic car and motorcycle collector. Along with her husband, Art Kubli, who is the general contractor of CCD, Eloise Kubli designed a layout to display the client’s collection with room to grow. “We are pleased to have created our client’s dream ‘man cave,’ which incorporates his love of classic cars and motorcycles,” said Elise Kubli. “Although the project was a challenge to complete during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering that it was difficult to get supplies, and harder to get people to work, we created a beautiful space to reflect our client’s personality.” The project, which began in 2020 and completed in 2021, follows hurricane codes and can serve as a safe space if needed. It includes a private bedroom, bathroom and kitchen in the loft/mezzanine area, as well as a sleeping area for the client’s young daughter. The dramatic, large and open colorful space includes LED lighting, a red “Big Ass” fan tipped with black and industrial pendants, and cast perfect lighting. A Crestron lighting control and sound system highlights the owner’s vintage muscle car and motorcycle collection. The comfortable lounge area was designed for relaxing while watching a game on the large TV. A custom grey performance fabric upholstered sectional offers ample space to lounge. Red leather chairs and iron side tables complement the orange, red, white, black and grey automotive-industrial look. A stainless steel drum table reflects the ceiling, while the durable nylon area rug on the polished concrete floor anchors the seating area. The bar, adjacent to the lounge area, boasts a back bar with a banana creme 3-dimensional plexiglass to contrast with the rare original two-tone Panama paint on a 1958 corvette. Leather bar stools from Italy reinforce the orange theme. LED lighting, below the raw concrete Caesarstone bar top, rotates through various colors to add to the entertainment excitement. In the first floor bathroom, a floating vanity holds a concrete sink. Black textural tile contrasts with light concrete porcelain tile on the floor and grey/copper tile on the adjacent wall. Upon request from the owner is a black urinal. Up the stairs at the far end of the loft is a private bedroom overlooking the auto collection and entertainment area. The leather bed and nightstands in durable finishes, along with the car bumper on the wall, continue the antique car theme. A full kitchen in the loft provides additional entertainment space. Charcoal grey tones on the cabinetry and Caesarstone slabs combine with stainless steel, grey leather, and performance fabric on the sleeper sofa offer durable finishes. The loft bathroom is a simple organic space in tones of grey. The floor is grey porcelain with shower walls clad in a wood look porcelain tile. Collective Construction & Design, Inc. is located at 102 NW 100th Ave., Plantation, Florida 33324.

Aston Martin and global property developer G&G Business Developments have broken ground on Aston Martin Residences at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way in Miami, confirming that construction of the 66-story luxury condominium tower is set for completion in 2021. The milestone marks the development of Aston Martin’s first real estate project, and the iconic brand’s expansion into luxury residential design. Aston Martin Residences at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way has become the first condominium tower to break ground in Downtown Miami this year, underscoring the development team’s strength and market confidence. The striking building of curvilinear glass and steel is set to rise on one of the last parcels of developable land on the Downtown Miami waterfront and has been designed by Revuelta Architecture and Bodas Miani Anger, renowned for creating visually impressive and exceptionally well-engineered landmark properties. General contractor Coastal Construction Group will now begin work on the tower. The 391 condominiums will combine breathtaking design aesthetic with an ideal location, featuring spectacular panoramic vistas of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The development’s seven penthouses and one duplex penthouse – all of which will enjoy private pools and spacious terraces – will be complemented by a range of expansive one to four-bedroom apartments. Aston Martin’s design team, led by EVP and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, will design the interior and amenity spaces throughout the development. Key Aston Martin design elements, such as the signature carbon fibre reception desks, will adorn each of the tower’s two private lobbies. Highlight features will include doors with bespoke artisan Aston Martin handles, number plinths and kestrel tan leather door tabs. Residents will be able to relax and unwind just steps from their front doors, with 42,275 square feet of outstanding Sky Amenities spanning four full levels between the building’s 52nd and 55th floors. Amenities will include a double-level fitness centre overlooking the ocean, spinning studio, boxing gym, virtual golf room, art gallery, two cinemas, as well as a full-service spa, beauty salon and barber shop. These exquisite spaces will be encased in a bold sail-shaped building reflecting the marina setting and offering superb views of the local surroundings. Residents will also be able to enjoy direct access to the turquoise waters of Miami via an exclusive yacht marina. Representing Aston Martin at the ground breaking ceremony, Simon Sproule, Aston Martin Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Aston Martin is on a growth trajectory globally and across the United States. Our partnership with G&G Business Developments to create Aston Martin Residences Miami, forms an important part of that growth story and of our desire to bring our brand to new audiences across the world.” Click below to launch slideshow > German Coto, CEO of G&G Business Developments said: “In October 2016 we announced the partnership with Aston Martin and our plan to break ground in October 2017. Exactly one year later we are here to celebrate the start of construction which is confirmation of our commitment to follow our own strict timeline. This development has been extremely well received, in part due to the unique offer but also due to the outstanding job our official broker Cervera is doing. I am confident we will deliver on our promise to create the ultimate residential tower and I’m looking forward to admiring the view from the top of this special building when it is complete.” Coto concluded: “The success of this collaboration is a testament to the team work, mutual trust and dedication of everyone involved, both at G&G and Aston Martin.” The residences and penthouses, which range from 700 to 19,000 square feet, are priced from $600,000 to upwards of $50 million.

Salty attitudes of the dining sort are always welcome at Joliet, an exciting new seafood bistro and garden located on the Northwestern tracks of Miami’s South Beach, where the Venetian Way greets Lincoln Road at 1209 17th Street. Set to open on December 12, Joliet is the latest Miami-based dining establishment launched by Chris Hudnall and Randy Alonso of Lost Boy & Co. The casual, all-weekday, and weekend hang, will entice diners with a menu created by Chef Juan Garrido inspired by the sweet, spicy, and soulful flavors that run deep throughout New Orleans’ cuisine. A seafood-forward menu makes way for guests to pull up a seat at the raw bar, enjoy late-night poolside snacks, or indulge in a weekend dinner with friends and family. Begin the meal with appetizers like handpicked Oysters Juliet, broiled with braised collard green butter; New Orleans-Style BBQ Prawns served with Worcestershire sauce, garlic butter and toasted baguette; and Wagyu Steak Tartare with sunchokes, fried oysters and parmesan. The restaurant’s signature raw bar features five varieties of oysters (Irish Point, Beau Soleil, Malpeque, Hammerheads and St. Simon) served with a choice of classic, Calabrian chili, passion fruit, and fine herb mignonette. Tasty Smoked Fish Dip, Local Fish Crudo, Cherrystone Clams, Crab Louis with Thousand Island dressing and cured egg, and King Crab Cocktail round out the raw bar menu options. Selections of entrees are equally as tempting. Choose from items like the Rock Shrimp Po’Boy sandwich with pickled pepper remoulade; Cornmeal Fried Florida Yellowtail and Gumbo made with Chef’s daily flavors, mahogany roux, okra and herbs. Platters to share include the Grilled Bone Pork Chop; Whole Broiled Lobster; and Jambalaya — a crave-worthy combination of Carolina gold rice, roasted chicken, and grilled king crab. Guests will note the serene aesthetic of the 1,641-square-foot space which, like the menu, reflects aesthetic elements inspired by the commonality of Miami and New Orleans’ appreciation for marine life. The interior and exterior design plays off the sapphire-hued jewel tones of the water, while natural materials bring warmth and comfort to the décor. Eclectic artwork fills the space with added character. “Creating destinations that bring the community together to dine, drink and interact in a casual, comfortable way is at the heart of each of our venues, including Joliet,” said Hudnall. “Our dedication to storytelling through meaningful and authentic dining experiences is woven into every element of bringing Joliet to fruition, from the service to the kitchen and bar and throughout the thoughtful design.” Alonso echoes the sentiment, “As we continue to expand with more openings in 2023, Joliet serves as another jewel in our portfolio, where people can spend hours enjoying delicious dishes and cocktails over conversation with friends. We’ve been inspired by the famous Cajun cuisine found in New Orleans and other parts of the South: heavy on seafood and spice. Chef Garrido has implemented his fierce culinary skills into bringing those intoxicating authentic flavors to the plates.” A thoughtfully devised cocktail menu pairs beautifully with Joliet’s New Orleans-inspired cuisine. Led by talented mixologist Derek Tormes, the cocktail program presents options for every kind of imbiber including light and bright refreshers, full-bodied and spirit-forward classics. Balancing out the flavor-packed options is a handful of citrus-forward cocktails like a Spiced Grapefruit made with vodka, lemon, cinnamon grapefruit soda and prosecco; cocktails that bring out the sweeter side of sipping like a Strawberry Aperitivo with strawberry infused Peychaud, basil, lemon and Torresella; and some fan-favorite classics like a gin Vesper, and of course, The Sazerac. Wine selections include highly allocated natural wines with a focus on boutique champagne and sparkling wines that pair perfectly with raw bar offerings. Guests can expect low intervention, organically farmed bottles from Europe, Australia, South America, and the U.S. Select beers honor local craftsmanship and include the Louisiana-based Abita Andygator. Joliet is one of several unique restaurants and bars that comprise the Lost Boy & Co. portfolio, with concepts spanning across South Florida, including the celebrated relaunch of Fox's Lounge, the new Mayfair Grill, Sipsip Calypso Rum Bar and Lost Boy Dry Goods, the group’s original neighborhood concept. Joliet is located at 1209 17th Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139. Dinner will be available Sunday - Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Thursday - Saturday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, please visit www.jolietmiamibeach.com. Reservations are now available for early booking through Resy. Follow along on Instagram and Facebook. By ML Staff. Images Courtesy of Joliet

Bringing the heat to the Magic City once again, the film franchise’s long-awaited third installment, “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” will celebrate its world premiere in Miami on Wednesday, January 25. The exclusive event will include a star-studded red carpet featuring Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault before the film’s screening and after party at the bespoke MAGIC MIKE LIVE venue featuring a special appearance by the smash hit live show’s cast. The Magic City served as one of the movie’s two primary filming locations and is currently home to the hottest show in town, the North American touring production of MAGIC MIKE LIVE, which served as the inspiration for the film’s creation.

All you have to do for a chance to celebrate amongst the stars is to be in the audience for one of the show’s nightly performances between Jan. 10 - 23.

I got on the phone that night like, ‘We need to make a movie about how this show got created,” said Steven Soderbergh, Director of “Magic Mike” and “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” In 2017, the “Magic Mike” film franchise spawned the genre-busting MAGIC MIKE LIVE which has since thrilled more than 1.2 million guests with its resident shows in Las Vegas and London, past engagements in Berlin and Australia, and a recently launched North American tour that has taken Miami by storm. The live show features daring dance routines, thrilling acrobatics, live music, comedy, and specialty acts all centered around an inspiring message of empowerment. When the film starring Tatum and Hayek-Pinault debuts, audiences will be dazzled by many of the same dance routines and heart-racing scenes that can be experienced live and in-person nightly on the MAGIC MIKE LIVE stages around the world, expertly choreographed by Alison Faulk and Luke Broadlick and performed by some of the most talented dancers in the world. Conceived and co-directed by Tatum, MAGIC MIKE LIVE has earned its place at the center of the cultural zeitgeist with regular appearances on major TV shows including The Drew Barrymore Show, ELLEN, The TODAY Show, The Graham Norton Show, This is Us, Britain’s Got Talent, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and more. The franchise also inspired the HBO Max reality competition series “Finding Magic Mike.” Fans who have not yet experienced the live show for themselves yet can get a taste of the magic that’s to come live and in-person at MAGIC MIKE LIVE: The Tour before the film premieres on February 10. MAGIC MIKE LIVE: The Tour is currently performing Wednesday through Sunday in a custom-built venue in Key Biscayne for a limited time before heading to its next major North American city this spring.

The Afro-Carib festival, presented by Visit Lauderdale, is where Black History Month meets Reggae Month to celebrate the blended cultures that evolved through a shared bond rooted in African origins. These powerful bonds have manifested to create a people rich in music, culture, and cuisine. Ticket holders will enjoy live performances by a carefully selected roster of unique, soulful artists representing reggae, afrobeats, afropop, kompa, reggaeton, salsa and more musical genres from the Caribbean and African Diaspora. “Part of who we are as a people, descendants from African and Caribbean roots, are reflected in the music, instruments and dance which make up our rich culture and heritage. When you listen to the lyrics of these artistes and feel the rhythm of the Afro-Reggae - inspired beat, it resonates deep within the soul, and it is what we want to bring to this celebration of our multi diverse community in Miramar,” said City of Miramar Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis Headlining the popular music and culture festival is KOFFEE, Jamaica’s “reggae ambassador of positive energy”. Koffee’s groundbreaking, positive approach to reggae makes her one of the most exciting, forward thinking, globally focused teenage talents to emerge in decades. Koffee’s bold message of peace and love captivated the world with its joyous expression of gratitude. Boasting 122M views, Koffee is most known for her runaway hit “Toast”, a mind-blowing feat for a newcomer. At 18, she was the youngest and first female reggae artist to win a GRAMMY for the coveted Best Reggae Album. Her infectious Jamaican “patois” laden lyrics resonate with audiences of various ages, cultures and backgrounds the world over. The self-proclaimed Afropop King and Nigerian-born singer/songwriter/ producer Tekno has been heating up the digital and radio airwaves since the debut of his 2016 international hit “Pana.” Since then, he has released a seamless stream of hits for himself and others as a highly sought-after producer, such as “Buga (Lo Lo Lo) with Kizz Daniel, “Mufasa” and “Skeletun.” Now based in the United States, he spreads positive vibes through melodies laced over a perfect intertwining of both Afrobeats and Afropop. Using fusions of rap and reggaeton, GRAMMY nominated, Cuban born Jacob Forever is known for his artistic diversity between bachata, urban and reggaeton. He has collaborated with international artists such as Farruko, Pitbull, Thalia, Enrique Iglesias, De La Ghetto and Nacho among others. “Tylenol” Haitian Hitmaker J.
