Bugatti Veyron Super Sport 


What is it?

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the fastest, most expensive 
car on sale. It costs around £2,000,000, has 1183bhp instead of the standard Veyron’s 986bhp, accelerates from rest to 186mph in 14 seconds, and has recorded a two-way average of 268mph (though customer cars are limited to 258mph).

Technical highlights
No question, the heart of the Super Sport is its phenomenal, 8-litre, quad-turbo W16 engine. Changes compared with the ‘regular’ Veyron engine include new, larger turbochargers, freer-flowing inlet manifolds, remapped ECU and bigger charge-coolers. Together these changes lift peak power from 1000 to 1200PS (1183bhp in old money). According to the engineers it’s easily capable of even greater outputs, but the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox couldn’t reliably handle them.
Is it art or is it a machine

  4. The McLaren F1 did this sort of performance twenty years ago, with only 627 horsepower (that's around 560 less than the Veyron Super Sport)
    It's prettier.
    It's lighter
    It handles better.
    It can carry more passengers and cargo.
    It sounds nicer (N/A V12 aka How It's Done)
    It was engineered as opposed to thrown together.
    It's more efficient.
    It was more heritage behind it.
    It wasn't built by some hack German "engineers"
    The engine bay's lined with gold.
    It's worth about three times as much (due to its historical significance rather than its cost to build)

    And you show up with a twin-engined VW Beetle.
    How adorable.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

She creates art out of emotion and uses her feelings to choose color and shape. One of the most interesting facts is that all of her pieces are done with colored pencils. Her art is so expressive that each piece gives out its own vibe. What makes her art unique is that it is inspired by motion and gestures. It is amazing how she developed such a style at such a young age.  Instagram @ malenabozzini

Project Runway designer Erin Robertson

Last week, I watched the season finale of one of my favorite shows, Project Runway. I have always been a fan of this show because they push people out of their comfort zone in hopes to expand their imagination and work with the potential they have o create amazing fashion pieces. The winner of season 15, Erin Robertson, was one of my favorite designers the show has ever been because she wasn't afraid to take risks and be herself even if it posed the threat of her going home. A couple times a season, the show does what is called an "avant-garde" challenge which is used o show the judges what new perspectives and ideas on fashion the designers have. Erin, described the term "avant-garde" as wearable art, which I thought was really cool. Here are a few of her avant-garde looks as well as a few of my favorite pieces from her this season.    Episode 11 "Bold Innovation" required the designers to create an avant-garde look with unconventional materi...
