“WILL.I.AMG” (Aka the Flip) by West Coast Customs
Called the Flip, it’s an interesting mixture of SLS Gullwing, Maybach and G-Wagen, and grafts the face of the latter on the donor car’s front end. Smoked out rear lights and suicide doors also feature on the one-off project.
Activities around the car should support will.i.am’s i.am/Angel Foundation, which works on helping the underprivileged get into STEM.

1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster owned by Juan Manuel Fangio
El Maestro competed in 52 Formula One races and drove off the victor in 24 of them. That means he won nearly every other race he entered. This led to five world championships with four different teams, with the last four titles all coming year after year from 1954 through 1957.
Finished in Metallic Light Blue over a Cream leather interior, the car stayed with Fangio throughout his life, though in 1986, after he became too old to drive regularly, it was placed in the official Juan Manuel Fangio Museum, located in Fangio’s hometown of Balcarce, Argentina.
This 300 SL was no garage queen, as the condition of its leather attests. The car was originally delivered in London, after which Fangio drove it across a number of European countries as part of his ambassadorial work for Mercedes. He shipped it to Argentina in 1960 and would continue to drive it as part of his work expanding Mercedes’ operations in South America in the following decades. It’s believed that almost all of the 72,951 kilometers showing on the odometer were driven by the legend.

‘Space Time Memory’
Space Time Memory is Lamborghini’s first step into the NFT space. It has been done in partnership with artist, Fabian Oefner. The five pieces of art which have been developed will go to auction on the 1st February at 4 PM CET.
The NFTs come with a physical element: The Space Key. This physical item is a piece of carbon fiber sent to outer space by the company. It’s engraved with a unique QR code, that links to the NFT. A total of five of these keys were made, totalling the same amount of NFTs that will be minted.
In detail, the NFT part of the launch includes a picture that shows a Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae ascending towards the stars. The artist made a total of five different images that represent unique moments within seconds from each other as the car climbs above the earth. Its parts: the engine, the transmission, the suspension and hundreds of nuts and bolts are shooting away from the chassis like the exhaust flame of a rocket.
Despite looking like a computer-generated image, it is totally created by real-world parts. The artist captured over 1500 parts of a real car. “The photo of the earth’s curvature was made by sending a weather balloon equipped with a camera to the edge of the stratosphere.”
Each of the images were then formed into an artificial moment in time. This gave a result of an image with over 600 million pixels.
Hidden details are revealed upon zooming in to Space Time Memory.

Karma 2022 GS-6 EV ‘Mr.305 Edition’
This particular premium four-wheeler, which will go under the gavel at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction this Saturday, features a number of “personal touches”.
The Car was custom built for Mr. 305 himself. It’s even been christened the 305 Edition in reference to the singer’s nickname and the Miami area code from which he hails.
You can expect special badging and door sills inscribed with “Mr. 305,” along with two motivational quotes on the dash. One reads “The biggest risk you take is not taking one,” while the other says “Patience passion and perseverance equals success.”
Pitbull’s touches aside, the GS-6 is one impressive sedan. Under the hood, it’s equipped with a 1.5-liter three-cylinder DOHC turbocharged engine developed for the BMW i8 and two motors powered by a 28 kW lithium-ion battery pack. Together, that gives the 5,000-pound plug-in a gutsy 536 horses and 550 ft lbs of torque, as well as a range of 360 miles. It can also fully charge in just 36 minutes, according to the automaker.
The best part is that all proceeds from this sale will go toward the Selfless Love Foundation and the SLAM Foundation. Selfless Love is a non-profit working to improve the child welfare system, while SLAM aims to improve education in underserved communities.
