For just over 80 grand you can get 403hp @ 6500rpm and 398lb-ft torque @ 3500rpm. And just 2.0-liters. Sickness. This thing is pretty.

To achieve the incredible 403bhp from just 2.0-litres Mitsubishi has had to significantly revise the FQ-400′s advanced powerplant. Motorsport specification high-flow fuel injectors are fitted to the aluminium cylinder head and a new hybrid turbocharger is also fitted.

Megaman 2.5d

I’m losing my shit over here. Megaman 2.5 d takes the classic megaman gameplay and mixes it with 3d elements. This is crazyness.

Created by Peter Sjostrand, a game modder from Sweden. The buzz over this thing on the internets is already insane and there is no public demo yet. Here’s some gameplay.

Odalisque Bench

There is just something sexy about this bench.

This is pretty sweet.

Media architecture collective Urban Alliance has recently finished the Moodwall: a 24 meter long interactive light installation in Amsterdam.

The Moodwall is situated in a pedestrian tunnel and interacts with people passing by, improving the atmosphere in the tunnel and making people happy and feel less unsafe.

The interactive urban wallpaper is built out of about 2500 leds behind a ribbed semi-transparent wall. The curves in the wall make it less suitable for grafitti and improve the visibility of the content for the side.

The resolution is horizontally stretched so the images of the screen are better for the side so people are stimulated to watch the screen from outside the tunnel. This prevents the tunnel to become a hang-out spot.
