A designer created a Pagani hyperbike concept… and it looks like a beast on two wheels!

Showcasing concepts like these always feels bittersweet, because while they look absolutely gorgeous on paper (or on a screen, in this instance), there’s a slight deal of sadness in knowing that concepts like these are just objects of fantasy, created by designers who just want to make beautiful things.

Meet the Pagani Amaru, a conceptual hyperbike created by Indian designer Vishruth Kumar. Designed to capture the wild spirit often associated with Pagani’s one-of-a-kind hypercars, the Amaru is, in fact, named after a legendary beast found Andean mythology. It’s safe to say that for an automobile named after a mythical water dragon, the Amaru certainly looks the part, with a curvaceous body that feels like a serpent-head emerging out of water, and dual headlights that resemble a menacing pair of reptilian eyes.

The single-seater hyperbike features a unique unibody design that comes with an integrated form that seamlessly goes from cowl to tank to taillight. Its unbroken form comes with a hollow space in front that provides space for the handlebars to appear through. The overall stylings are a hat-tip to the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, says Vishruth (I knew those headlights and rocket-exhaust-shaped taillights looked familiar!) Even though the Amaru exists as a concept, there’s enough detail for it to be taken seriously… for instance, the hyperbike comes fitted with a liquid-cooled in-line 4-cylinder AMG Engine for power and performance, while the bike’s unique bodywork can be attributed to a special carbo-titanium alloy that provides it with a high strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the otherwise voluminous and beastly bike to effortlessly zip through roads as an aquatic predator would hurtle through water!

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema  is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...

Incandescent indie, reflective hip-hop, jangly post-punk and more genre-bending tunes from the week Juletta + Ishan: Gut Feeling Juletta + Ishan’s “Gut Feeling” is best described through its beautiful contradictions: haunting and luminescent, smooth and uneasy, buoyant and weighty.
