IGNITION 7 Design

IGNITION 7 Design highlights Hi-tech carbon fibre bikes, minimalist watches, pro-quality headphones and luxury flying accessories – plus an F-TYPE with a parachute – dominate this issue’s design edit THE RIDE BME B-9 NH BLACK EDITION One glance at this new carbon fibre design from BME and it’s no surprise to hear it was inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk aircraft. With its distinctive panelling and matt carbon fibre finish, it may not have any markings but this is one bike that won’t go under the radar. Move fast, as it’s limited to 100 units. And get a big lock. £5532 (€7800) bmedesign.eu Parachuting in… To assist Bloodhound’s land speed record attempt, an F-TYPE Coupé has been busy in South Africa with a parachute. Two of them act as crucial back-up to the Bloodhound SSC’s other braking systems, so sponsor Jaguar fitted one to an F-TYPE, ran up to 186mph on a former military runway in Suffolk, UK and then fired the ’chute to check the mechanism’s validity before its bigger test in slowing down the hopefully 763mph-plus record-breaking SSC next year. bloodhoundssc.com 8 j THE BLOCKBUSTER ISSUE
