Summer Issue - France
France
With 83 million foreign tourists in 2012, France is ranked as the first tourist
destination in the world!
France has some of the world’s largest and renowned museums, including the Louvre, which is located in Paris.
Louvre is the most visited art museum in the world. The Musée d’Orsay, mostly devoted to impressionism, and the
Beaubourg that is dedicated to contemporary art.
With more than 10 millions tourists a year, the French Riviera (or Côte d’Azur), in south-east France, is the second
leading tourist destination in the country, after the Paris region. It benefits from 300 days of sunshine per year, 115
kilometres (71 mi) of coastline and beaches, 18 golf courses, 14 ski resorts and 3,000 restaurants. Each year the
Côte d’Azur hosts 50% of the world’s superyacht fleet.
Another major destination are the Châteaux of the Loire Valley, this World Heritage Site is noteworthy for
its architectural heritage, in its historic towns but in particular its castles (châteaux), such as the Châteaux
d’Amboise, de Chambord, d’Ussé, de Villandry and Chenonceau.

A Note From the President
When nature calls, do we really care which latrine our transgender friends visit? Honestly, if everyone has a copy
of the 360 Magazine Sabrina Carpenter issue (shameless plug), there would be peace and attentiveness towards
the gorgeous talent in this art book—not on the identity of your stall neighbor. On a serious note, I experience
heartache every time I hear or see racist, sexist, or homophobia driven rhetoric and action that continuously aids in
the division of the U.S.

To counter the darkness, it is nice to be able to reflect on the fact that we, finally, have a woman, Hillary Rodham
Clinton, leading the presidential primaries of a major party. We fashioned this issue keeping intimacy in mind.
Intimacy heightens understanding that can inspire care. This, I believe, is needed in the U.S. right now. Revisiting,
the national transgender bathroom war, we should not put our care towards separation, but should care about
adjusting outdated and close-minded civility standards to level with our diverse population. The article Detroit’s
Comeback is an intimate portrait reflecting on my experiences in my hometown, Detroit. We include a touching
tribute to Prince, an inspirational piece on the notable Terrie Williams, and of course deliver edgy, moving, and
transformative works of art.

Remembering
Prince:
The King
of Musical
Freedom
Renata Kiss
Prince, the multitalented and ever-evolving singer, songwriter, and
producer died at 57 in his home in Chanhassen, Minnesota on April 21st,
2016. The news, just minutes after it was made official, went immediately
viral. Celebrities like Madonna, Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake, and
Katy Perry expressed remorse over the legendary musician’s sudden
passing. A walk down memory lane highlights Prince’s indisputable
mark on the music industry, that will continues to inspire generations of
artists to come.
During his high school years, Prince started pursuing musical ambitions.
His first band, Grand Central, also known as Champagne, left him with a
whirlwind of experiences. Although the band split, Prince continued on
and signed with Warner Bros. Records in 1978. Prince’s debut album, For
You, in the same year, granted him a steady road towards success. In
1981 Controversy hit the stores and the title track grabbed 3rd place on
the R&B charts.
Prince gained international fame with 1999 that released in 1982. The
album featured top 10 hits like “Little Red Corvette,” the apocalyptic
“1999,” and “Delirious.” But, what most people remember is the classic
and accompanying blockbuster film, Purple Rain, that released in 1984.
Undoubtedly his best yet, this record presented the highly sentimental
title track, “Purple Rain”, and no. 1 hits on Billboard Hot 100: “Let’s Go
Crazy” accompanied by “When Doves Cry.” Meanwhile, Prince solidified
his trademark image with curly hair, loose jackets, and ruffled outfits.
He inspired a number of artists who produced covers for his songs.
Starting in the mid ‘80s, Chaka Khan reinterpreted the 1979 version of
“I Feel For You” with relatively great success. “Nothing Compares 2 U”
was covered by Sinead O’ Connor. In 2001, Alicia Keys chose “How
Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore” to be included in her debut album.
Prince also collaborated with various musicians to sharpen their work,
such as Madonna, Tevin Campbell, Kate Bush, Patti LaBelle, and
Janelle Monáe.
Prince escaped the public eye for a few years, but his sweeping return
in 2004. His sweeping return happened in 2004 at the Grammy Awards
with Beyoncé. There was no turning back at this point. He released
Musicology and went on tour, cemented his name in the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, and won two Grammys for the aforementioned album. In
2006, he published yet another work: 3121. He also won a Golden Globe
for Best Original Song in the animated film Happy Feet. Fast forward to
2010, Prince was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BET
Awards and became a new addition to the Grammy Hall of Fame.
But Prince had one goal in mind throughout his career which he shared
upon his induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. “When I first
started out in the music industry, I was most concerned with freedom.
Freedom to produce, freedom to play all the instruments on my records,
freedom to say anything I wanted to,” and he did just that. His often
controversial lyrics and lifestyle tested the limits of music pushing it to
levels many imitate to this day.

With the downward spiral and economic plight of the automobile
industry during the recession, Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013.
Massive layoffs occurred, the population dwindled, and many media
outlets repeatedly reported on the abundance of abandoned
buildings. Fast forward to May 18, 2016, we gained a first-hand
perspective on a more modern Detroit artfully colored with murals,
new scholastic properties, and an admirable yet eclectic river-walk.
A once dilapidated town seemed to be reborn - neighborhoods like
Cass Corridor, a suburban area in the city, now has been revived into
a more intellectual, a Bohemian sector with loads of designer beer
companies like Motor City Brewery and Traffic Jam & Snug (a pub
grub established in 1965).
Detroit’s
Comeback
Vaughn Lowery
It was a very memorable year for the city of Detroit when I resolved
to run away from home at the ripe age of nine. Determined to leave
everything behind with no cash or jacket on hand, I proceeded to flee
towards downtown. The only beacon in view was the Tiger’s Stadium
floodlights which heavily shined into a dark abyss off of Trumbull Boulevard.
Approximately 7:49pm on October 14,1984, a massive roar erupted from
the arena as our baseball team had just won the World Series against the
San Diego Padres. Our city was electrifying - people bustling on every
street corner, car horns blared in succinct and the stench of hot dogs and
popcorn permeated the air. Then all of sudden, rain poured down on us.
Shortly after, during a heavy episode of shivering, I was whisked away into
a police car after an officer noticed I had no parent in tow. Homeward
bound but animated with joy, I got a taste of what it was like to be an
adult in one of the most populous, prolific and cities in America, Detroit,
Michigan. A vital, internationally diverse city fueled by the “Big Three” filled
with skyscrapers and colossal cathedrals.

Who would have ever imagined that a city which plummeted from
grace would be capable to pick herself back up and regain her
reign? As a graduate of Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School
(the first Detroit Public School to gain a state football championship)
and a passing member of its track team, I often jogged along the
east riverfront. In fact, I resided within ample walking distance from
the Grayhaven Marina Village similar to Klenk and Harbor Islands. (A
secluded island developed in the 1920’s by some of the wealthiest
with private canals and boat wells making it the ultimate yacht
to home territory). Distinctly recalling a few decades ago, one
couldn’t tread too far on the riverfront because it wasn’t purposed
for enjoyment. It was plagued with polluted waters, lots of homeless
people and rampant criminal activity.
Alex Howbert of Detroit River Sports introduced us to a whole
new side of the city. We paddled throughout the marina in single
seat kayaks and floated by historical homes like that of Lawrence
Fisher. He was one of the most flamboyant tycoons of his kin (or the
infamous Fisher Brothers) Whom helmed Cadillac and was a head of
the Fisher Body, supplying GM with auto parts during the 1920’s. This
was an iconic area largely due to it’s location near Lake St. Clair. We
still caught a peek of the Garwood Mansion. In 1927, Garfield “Gar”
Arthur Wood was a legendary Detroit speed boat racer, motorboat
builder, entrepreneur and inventor - the first man to travel at 100
miles per hour on water. We were enamored by how healthy the
ecosystem was (beavers have returned to this area every bit well as pike, bass, sturgeon, alligator gar
and sheephead fish) fisherman at bay screaming “Line!,” and the fact that we were in international
waters with visible National Coast Guard ships. In fact, this used to be one of the largest shipping
corridors in the globe and today it’s still the biggest border crossing in Northern America for international
trade with 25% of merchandise transported between Canada and America via the Ambassador Bridge
(a suspension toll bridge owned by Grosse Pointe billionaire Manuel Moroun). Also in the near distance is
a 982-acre island park in the Detroit River, between the United States mainland and Canada, Belle Isle home of the 2016 Chevrolet Grand Prix.
Shortly after, we went to Wheelhouse Detroit to rent bikes and received a scenic bike tour of the
urban center. The Dequindre Cut Greenway, formerly a Grand Trunk Western Railroad line, opened
in May 2009. It boasts a 20ft pathway for both pedestrians on foot and non-motorized vehicles, sitting
twenty-five feet beneath street level. Our asphalt journey took us to Atwater Brewery where we had a
voluptuous dirty blonde inside their taproom and biergarten. Then we sped over to MilIken Park and the
Outdoor Adventure Center. Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources has staged one of the most
explicit indoor parks mimicking some of nature’s most riveting outdoor activities. The kids climbed inside
a faux tree with slide while a wooden-planked footbridge hung overtop aside, what appeared to be a
bright red crashed old fighter plane. The rustic yet modern conference room was laced with cabin-like
walls and mounted stuffed moose heads - a great locale for a reception or birthday party. Throughout
360 MAGAZINE 25
the campus families can partake in tons of photo opportunities with life size deer and a “Smokey the
Bear.” Other attractions inside include: an actual waterfall; yurt and tent coupled with various simulators
for bike racing, kayaking, fishing and rifle hunting. Other worthwhile destinations close to the trail were
the Riverwalk where we got to pack in some of the city’s newly fabricated wetlands, tons of eateries,
a glimpse of the iconic Renaissance Center (the tallest building in the city). And, a bracing encounter
with the historic Eastern Market - a 125yro destination in the heart of the city with fresh food, restaurants,
businesses, art and refinement.
The succeeding day we visited the Detroit Zoo for a private golf cart safari. We saw wolves dance,
chimpanzees swing from branches, lazy tigers retreat to their lair for an early morning nap and giraffes
being fed by park attendants. Notwithstanding, this is home to the largest Penquin facility in the world,
eighty Penquins from six different species. In perfect sequential order, they pitched in and out of a
recreated Antarctic, aquatic environment all while feasting on small fish underwater. After all, these
were the headliners of this habitat, one by one adorned in a tuxedo-like formal wear they surfaced with
numerous curtsies and bows, always acknowledging a spectator’s presence.
As the day progressed, we maneuvered over to the magnanimous Ford Rouge Factory (in 1921 it was
home to the world’s first mass-produced tractor, the Fordson) and then onto The Henry Ford Museum.
The exhibit houses everything relative to motor culture and its history, including locomotives and air
planes. We acquired a first-hand encounter with JFK’s limousine and FDR’s secret service transport.
In addition, the collective dives deep into cultural movements having lasting impacts on today’s
society. For instance, they display the actual bus from December 1, 1955 when African-American
seamstress Rosa Parks was arrested for failing to give up her seat on a Montgomery city bus to a white
man, igniting a spark for the Civil Rights movement. Along the same grounds was the largest outdoor
museum, Greenfield Village. We toured the reservation on a horse drawn omnibus while some rode the
steam engined train. The frosting on the cake was our brief excursion to The Ford Piquette Plant - the
actual space where over 12,000 sensous Models T cars were manufactured. And, if you’re in the mood
for some musicology, then drop by the Motown Museum and pay homage to Barry Gordy’s “Studio A”
- it’s where legendary acts like Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and The Temptations recorded
their albums.

360 MAGAZINE 27
The crux of our trip was a snack bar-style dinner inside
a party suite at Comerica Park (an open-air ballpark
located Downtown Detroit). It was here we learned of
the city’s various expansion plans, including the newly
announced Little Caesar’s Arena ($627.5-million dollar
investment which is expected to open September
2017) for the Red Wings of the National Hockey
League. Ultimately, the city will have various stateof-the-art performance venues and house three of
its major professional sports outfits (football, hockey
and baseball) within the downtown region, District
Detroit (over $1.2 billion dollars and counting will be
spent to develop area from both private and public
sectors). According to the Mike Ilitch’s Olympia
Development Group of Michigan’s website (www.
districtdetroit.com), “The District Detroit will be 50
blocks of thriving businesses, parks, restaurants, bars
and event goals.s. It will be home to the young and
the young at heart, families, new residents and longtime residents who want to be where the action is. The
District will connect Downtown and Midtown into one
contiguous, walkable area, where families, sports fans,
entrepreneurs, job seekers, entertainment lovers and
others who crave a vibrant urban setting can connect
with each other and the city they love.”

The nightlife track in Detroit has been on the
incline with popular venues like Punch Bowl Social
where patrons grab a drink, bowl and socialize
at various stations throughout the property. WXYZ
Bar, a swank and contemporary lounge for
millenials featuring live music, sits inside the newly
introduced modern yet glamourous Aloft Hotel at
the David Whitney. If you wish to test your luck on
slots or blackjack, go up a flight of stairs and take
the Detroit People Mover (2.94-mile automated
train system which operates on a single track and
encircles downtown) to the MGM, Motorcity and/
or the Greektown Casinos (all are open 24/7).
With The James Beard Foundation Awards being
kept in close proximity, the city has embraced
a more voguish culinary ambiance. If you’re in
the mood for non-traditional Italian menu drop
by Dan Mancini’s La Rondinelli for some delicious
manicotti, a glass of wine with an order of fennel
and fagioli (a great vegan option). Or, take
full advantage of a 130 taps in midtown (in the
vicinity of the Detroit Institute of Arts - houses one
of the largest and most substantial art collections
in the USA) alongside a “paddy melt” with
macaroni and cheese. And, of course, you have
to try most of their corned beef sandwiches.
Moreover, Selden Standard, a four-star stylish cafe
(awarded by the Detroit Free Press), offers a wide
assortment of seasonal dishes and handcrafted
cocktails - best known for its bronzed, grilled quail
with pickled cranberries and roasted cauliflower
with tahini and lemon. Other restaurants and
options to consider: Fishbone’s “alligator voodoo”
- farm raised alligator bites, deep fried; and
American Coney Islands restaurant for a loose
burger with onions with a side of chilli cheese
fries. If you’re in the mood for a spicy snack, visit a
local grocer for a bag of Better Made “Red Hots”
potato chips and wash it down with a Faygo
“cream soda” soda, both are made
within Detroit.
Before you board your flight, be certain to check
out Dan Gilbert’s 535,000-square-foot “The
Z” parking garagAll ten levels of the structure
are decorated out with splashy-colored art
installations.ns. At night on the rooftop, take
in a breathtaking aspect of the One Detroit
Center and Penobscot Building. Or simply, enjoy
a beverage in the alley creatively nicknamed
“The Belt” under the canopy lights while gazing
at seasonally rotating commissioned artwork by
some of the best contemporary European and
American artists to date. And, be sure to pop your
brain inside the Library Street Collective for a fine
art exhibition.
It’s very obvious that Detroit’s comeback is
inevitable from architecture to mass transit
(3.3-mile streetcar line from downtown to
New Center will be recognized as the QLine $140-million dollar project which is expected to
open 2017) And all things relative in the world
of invention. Furthermore, it’s vibrant future has
been attributed to an influx of small businesses as
well as an ever so growing, youthful population
of trendsetters within their respective industries,
seeking a more affordable style of life.

Rolls-Royce
Dawn:
A Rock Star
Ready to Blow!
It seems as though the “Holy Trinity of British Rock”
(The Beatles, Rolling Stone and our previous cover
band, The Who) may become a quartet with RollsRoyce’s newly introduced, Dawn on deck. After
all, this glamorous two and a half ton open top
cabriolet has all of the qualifications to endorse
any youthful entrepreneur as “someone to watch.”

Rolls-Royce has stayed true to their heritage with the assembly of the sensuous, show-stopper
Dawn. Prompted by the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Drophead Coupe from the late 1940s and early
1950s (only 28 were composed to date), the brand has self-proclaimed the Dawn as the “Sexiest
Rolls-Royce Ever to be Built,” and we do not beg to differ - gorgeous with the top up and strikingly
beautiful with it down. This super luxury motor car is handcrafted in Britain, comfortable, and rare.
The grill of the Dawn is reminiscent of an early 1800s bank vault filled with crispy, new one hundred
dollar bills enunciated with striking integrated LED headlamps and adorned by a stainless steel
Spirit of Ecstacy emblem. From brain to toe, this attraction is 208.1 inches long, 76.65 inches in
width and a height of 59.13 inches with a wheelbase of 122.51 inches. It sits on 21 inches of forged
10-spoke polished chrome wheels. We took in the pleasure to indulge in an omnipresent premier
silver exterior with contrasting Mugello red interior complemented by black book matched
wood paneling. The dashboard and controls exhibited contemporary veneers accented with a
matte metal finishing. With enough leg, knee, and headroom for four passengers, each person
is accorded their own individually handcrafted, vented cow hide seat with heating and cooling
options. Moreover, every seat in this ambient arena-esque cabin allows you to bask in the sunlight
while stainless steel trim wraps back seats for added flash.

If in the mood to peacock, one can silently retract the cover within 22 seconds at speeds up to
31mph. Or with the French stitched roof up, there is ample head room and nearly no wind noise
when compared to the slightly more effeminate Bentley Continental GT Convertible.
Aesthetics are equally complemented by performance. This 5644lb vehicle is powered by a 6.6L
twin-turbo V12 that cranks out 563hp (at 5250 rpm) and 575lb-ft of torque (at 1500 rpm), which
propels it 0 to 60 in under 4.7 seconds. This was very evident as we pushed it from Los Angeles,
California to the esteemed Carmel Valley’s Bernardus Lodge & Spa. The Dawn handled windy
roads with both relaxation and composure - somewhat similar to the BMW 7-series Every time its
massive steel frame hugged tight corners, it held its drive composure making it one of most rigid
four seaters offered today. The Dawn’s transmission is a “satellite aided” eight speed automatic
that uses GPS, featured on a 10.25 inch HD navigation screen and maneuvered with Spirit of
Ecstasy rotary controller, to select gears for upcoming hills and turns that allows the Dawn to
effortlessly complete any undertaking. We found that the Dawn is best experienced during leisure
activities with the top down to discover the opulent interior while boisterously bobbing our heads
to today’s top hits on the manually equalized bespoke sound audio system.

Out of all the six models offered by this
manufacturer, the Dawn proves to be
the new lead vocalist of this subroutine
ensemble with the Phantom as
manager, Ghost as drummer, and Wraith
on electric guitar with skills comparable
to Jimi Hendrix. In short, Rolls Royce’s
ability to hand carve, construct, and
engineer the world’s best cruiser should
eventually make them a prospect for
the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” sooner
rather than later.
*Earlier this year, the first Dawn to be sold was auctioned away to American
collector Julian Movsesian for a hefty $750,000 (base price is around $335,000).
The takings from the sale went to a charitable cause and was donated to
the Naples Children and Education Foundation where they help support
underprivileged children.

contributed to the leather community in Cook County,” says Alisa Swindell, curator of the Excavating
Experience exhibit. “From forming organizations to being representatives as titleholders to the mere
fact of being present, these people have helped to make this community what it is.”
The Leather Archives & Museum–which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this fall –has been
repeatedly named to popular offbeat tourist destination lists (Chicagoist, RoadTrippers, WBEZ-FM NPR
and more), and acts as a community hub for adult programming throughout the year, welcoming
locals and tourists alike. Lectures, screenings and events at the museum are diverse in nature, and
LA&M programming–such as the Excavating Experience exhibit–seeks to reflect contributions from
everyone involved within the BDSM/leather/fetish/kink communities.

360 MAGAZINE
“Practicing kink is universally a part of sexual exploration,” says LA&M Executive Director Rick Storer.
“The LA&M is excited for this exhibit to show how people of color in Chicagoland have practiced
and performed leather/fetish sex, and how they have built community around it.” Storer says that
exhibits like this one are critical to the core LA&M mission, and that contributions to BDSM/leather/
fetish/kink communities by people of color must be visible.
Swindell agrees, reiterating that the twin goals of the Excavating Experience exhibit are to inspire and
to encourage participation. “We hope that this exhibition will encourage more people of color in the
community to share their history with the LA&M.”
Excavating Experience: The Presence of LGBTQ People of Color in Cook County, IL runs from July 2nd,
2016 to January 8th, 2017 at the Leather Archives & Museum, 6418 N. Greenview Avenue in Chicago.
This exhibit is made possible through a grant from the LGBT Fund of the Chicago Community Trust.

360 MAGAZINE
In its current guise, the XJ series has been around since
2009 and refined each year until the present. For 2016
Jaguar updated it with subtle exterior changes like
a larger, more upright grill and a new mesh pattern,
reworked bumper, and chrome blades in the lower intake.
New adaptive LED headlights with double J-Blade daytime
running lights complete the overall change. Shorter
wheelbase XJs are equipped with additional aerodynamic
enhancements while long-wheelbase models receive
more luxurious interior features. The XJR models get Black
Pack exterior styling ques. The 2016 XJL Portfolio is powered
by a 3.0 liter Twin-Vortex Supercharged V-6 engine mated
to an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters
if you so desire to drive. An all-aluminum body construction
saves weight and enhances performance. A 5.0 liter
Supercharged V8 with 470hp and 550hp variants are
available, but we feel that the Supercharged V6 is more
than adequate.
360 MAGAZINE 43
Our XJL Portfolio was equipped with diamond pattern quilted
leather seating and did have the look and feel of luxury.
The front seats have 14X14 way power seats with 4-position
lumbar support. All seats have heat and ventilation features.
The infotainment system consists of an InControl Touch Pro©
system with a 60GB solid state drive, 8-inch capacitive touch
screen, an 825-watt Meridian 17 speaker surround sound
system and Navigation with commute mode which memorizes
the owner’s everyday route and helps guide the driver away
from heavy traffic routes. There is also a personal hot spot and
myriads of connectivity features to IOS and Android devices
via Jaguar Apps, including the ability to record personal items
inside you vehicle. Furthermore, rear-seat passengers can
enjoy a 10.2 inch 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen high definition
entertainment system. There is advanced driving assistance
technology like ASPC (All-Surface Progress Control), which
helps the driver start off smoothly from slippery surfaces and
low friction environments. Traffic Sign Recognition informs the
driver of current speed limits. Adaptive Cruise Control with
Queue Assist allows for the driver to sit back and take it easy
while the system modulates accelerator and brake duties
in heavy traffic all the way to a standstill. Closing Vehicle
Sensing system uses radar sensors to warn for vehicles coming
up behind when changing lanes. Reverse Traffic Detection
watches for traffic when backing up.
A Jaguar XJL is typically a chauffeur driven car in the UK with
the extended wheelbase of almost 5 inches giving executives,
diplomats, celebrities, rock stars and basics ample legroom to
relax and be comfortable in the back. In the U.S., it may be
the father or mother who chauffeurs children, relatives, or inlaws in the back. The ride is smooth, stable, and comfortable
thanks to the long-wheelbase and all-wheel drive. We didn’t
feel the need for more power or torque, and the EPA/DOT
combined fuel economy of 20mpg is fairly good for a car this
size. After all it is a Jaguar. When pressed the car handles it
quite well and when pushed into spirited driving, it completely
acts like a Jaguar should. No drama here. When in Drive,
throttle reaction is a bit slow, not unlike a turbo-lag, but in
S-Mode everything happens much faster and smoother which
is why we always drove it that way.

INIFINITI
QX60 3.5L
V6 AWD
A MORE FLUID
DESIGN!
Vaughn Lowery
As of late, we chose the slightly refreshed
2016 Infiniti QX60 for a spell in the Detroit
Metropolitan Area. To our surprise the
overall styling of the automobile was quite
compelling. Last year’s edition seemed to be
a number reminiscent of a minivan. Still, the
updated model seemed to be strikingly more
impressive with its menacing eyes and baleful
brow - constructed by the newly configured
bi-xenon headlamps, daytime running LED
lamps, front LED fog lamps, pronounced
grill and underbody spoiler - fabricating a
ferocious front.
54
360 MAGAZINE
360 MAGAZINE 55
This model’s performance and suspension felt German-like. You
really become one with the road largely in character to the acoustic
glass (minimizing high frequency noise) in tandem with the CVT
(continuous various transmission), creating a more insulated and
seamless drive composure. On the other hand, the steering wasn’t as
tight as her sister sedan, the Q50, but totally felt like we were able to
harness her power with equal fuel economy (22 combined mpg - 19
for city and 26 for Hwy).
As most majestic creatures, we assumed the body would not provide
as much interior space. Boy were we wrong! We gained access into
the cabin by jolting over the illuminated kick blades into a world
quite foreign in the category of crossover - pure sensuous luxury. All
appointments were exquisite: quilted Java seats with white stitching
all around (including the bolt), polished veneers, maple accents, 7”
touch screen infotainment system (allowed us to toggle between
audio inputs); and the 360 camera views (which come in handy
when 3rd row headrests obstruct much of the scene in the back
windshield). The heated steering wheel had several useful controls:
voice activation, back button and intelligent cruise control. One
can choose the distance from another vehicle with Distance Control
Assist. And of course, the Lane Departure Prevention and Lane
Warning Assist, practically, drove this auto on lengthier excursions.
The driver seat was comfy and snug with the two-way lumbar
support (both front seats have climate controls while second-row
has heated). Furthermore, cargo loading was effortless with a power
operated tailgate combined with a button operated retractable
third row. Another reason why this is one of the manufacturer’s best
sellers is the second-row passenger seat tilts and slides with a child
seat in lieu.
Its overall body bears the reflection of an oversized sedan and possesses mystical reptilian traits. The
shark fin antenna coupled with the roof rails gives the silhouette of a bearded dragon with horns. LED
side mirror signal indicators glow like yellow diamond studs on its frilled ears. The rear bumper and back
tailgate seem to be succinct with its head - integrated spoiler, and the hatch with power lift function
features chrome finishers. The claws came in the figure of 20” wheels with 15-spoke aluminum alloy
wheels which firmly gripped the road. The pearl white paint made the vehicle a scale-like presence on
the road shimmering with iridescence as the sunshine shone on her skin. For once this seven-passenger,
third-row family vehicle had a more aggressive posture causing numerous heads to turn while parked or
in tow. Her magical wings were propelled with the exact power train as her predecessor, a 3.5L, V6 with
265hp and 248lbft of torque. As we glided by others on the highway with AWD, she was firmly planted.

With such a lush interior, we decided to venture out to Frankenmuth,
Michigan the home of Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, which bills itself
as “the World’s Largest Christmas Store.” As we pulled into Little Bravaria’s
pastoral villages, medieval towns and ornate castles, we felt right at home
inside of this whimsical region. After touching base with another slayer
for a chicken dinner feast parallel to a tender slice of rhubarb pie, we
decided to wait off traffic by indulging in the theatre package (wireless
headphones, remote, 8” touch display in back of front seat headrests),
while charging smart devices in the second and third row with ample USB
ports. For additional space in the second row, we were able to scoot back
about 6 inches and slightly recline. Since the moonroof added a tad glare
on the monitors, we decided to retract the power sunshade.
In short, the 2016 Infiniti QX60 is the consummate choice for a
millennial who is ready to begin a family. It delivers all of the
amenities needed to keep their modern lifestyle in motion technology, ergonomics and fuel economy.
*Starting price is around $42,600. Our model came well-outfitted with
deluxe technology, theatre and premium plus packages at $59,345.

The band will be playing numerous festivals this summer, including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and
Osheaga. Prior to Lollapalooza, Bastille will play an intimate show at Chicago’s Vic Theatre on July 27.
The band will headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO on October 7. See below for itinerary.
Additional headline dates will be announced.
Wild World retains the vivid, filmic songwriting of its predecessor but pushes the band’s unique sound
in new directions. Lyrically, too, it’s a leap forward. “If our first album was about growing up and the
anxieties surrounding it, our second is about trying to make sense of the world around you, both as
you see it and as it’s presented to you through the media,” Dan Smith explains. “It’s also about asking
questions of the world and of the people in it.”
Bastille announced the album’s title by releasing this cinematic trailer on Facebook last week. It
amassed over 500,000 views in just 48 hours and now has upwards of 1.2 million views. The band
revealed further details about Wild World in this exclusive DIY cover story.

Bastille returns with “Good Grief,” the opening track
and first single from the U.K. band’s forthcoming
album, Wild World. Annie Mac gave the song its world
premiere today as the “Hottest Record in the World”
on her BBC Radio 1 show. Stateside, it received an
iHeart Radio World Premiere, broadcast on all 36 of
their Alternative stations across America.
“Good Grief” can be purchased now on iTunes and streamed on Spotify.
With a hypnotic bassline, skittish synths and soaring vocals, the track
builds to a huge, rousing chorus. It’s unmistakably a Bastille song,
euphoric yet melancholic, and fans of the band’s early, dialogue-strewn
mixtapes will enjoy its sampling of Kelly Le Brock from the 1980’s cult classic,
Weird Science. “Good Grief” was written by Dan Smith and co-produced by
Mark Crew.

Relax in
Hot Springs,
Arkansas
Vaughn Lowery + Renata Kiss
If you are tired of the nine-to-five grind, the increasingly
claustrophobic coffee scene at Starbucks, and the wellintentioned but up-in-your-business coworker, then it may
be time for you to visit Hot Springs, Arkansas and learn
to enjoy life, once again. Ready to pack your suitcase
and wave goodbye to your cubicle? Here are our top
suggestions for lodging, food, drinks, and a side of Arkansas
history to complete the experience.

Hot Springs National Park comes with plenty
of hotels and B&B’s, fit for budget travelers,
luxury lovers and everyone in between. Hotel
Hot Springs & Spa, formerly known as the
Austin Convention Hotel & Spa is an ideal
choice if you want easy access to the city.
Although, under complete renovation, the
hotel, pleasantly, offers glimpses of a chic
and relaxing environment. Close to Historic
Downtown Hot Springs, highlights of the soonto-be finished hotel are 196 newly renovated
and remodeled guest rooms.
Further options include a fresh, hot breakfast,
new pool and fitness center, shuttle service
to popular attractions, and many more.
For a time traveler’s experience, look no
further than The Arlington Resort Hotel &
Spa. Established in 1875 with 120 guest
rooms, it quickly rose to fame in the coming
decades. After a catastrophic fire burned
down the entire building, Arlington reopened
its doors on December 31st, 1924 and has
been in business ever since. From the age
of gangster squads and smuggled liquor
up until now, it has housed visitors such as
Al Capone in suite 443, Babe Ruth; Franklin
Roosevelt, Harry Truman, George H. W. Bush,
and Bill Clinton just to name a few.
Experience more of Hot Springs culture with
Oaklawn Park horse racing and year-round
fun activities. First opened in 1904, Oaklawn
is the only sports franchise in America still run
by the family that started it all. Their newly
expanded gaming area is a risk taker’s
paradise. Enjoy the live Blackjack and Poker
room, Video Poker, Roulette, and hundreds
of other amusements. It wasn’t always fun
and games. Until 1967 the state of Arkansas
was the largest illegal money-making scene
in the country.

Curious about the oldest tourist attraction in Arkansas? Then the Alligator Farm,
which opened in 1902, is a must-see. Initially home to more than 1500 alligators from
Mississippi and a “merman” in their marine museum, the farm soon became a hit
among visitors. One such noteworthy mention happens to be Babe Ruth who bought
a small alligator as memorabilia on his way back to Boston. Fast forward to the 21st
century, the merman days are gone and alligators can’t be purchased anymore, but
the Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo, as it is known today, added deer, emu,
pygmy goats, ponies and sheep to its proud family.
Besides Hot Spring’s rare history, downtown offers an array of dining options at vibrant
small businesses including McClard’s Barbeque, The Pancake Shop, and DeLuca’s
Pizzeria. DeLuca’s is run by Anthony Valinoti who, having been trained in Naples, Italy,
delivers scrumptious Napoletana pizzas to delight locals and travelers alike.
Filling up on these heavenly pizzas sometimes calls for a beer or two. The thirsty
wanderer is in for a treat with Superior Bathhouse Brewery and Distillery. What sets this
brewery apart from all others is its unique formula which takes advantage of the 144
degree spring water found exclusively in Hot Springs.
Owner and maker, Rose Schweikhart, inspired by various European beers decided to
launch her own beer company to recreate these traditional styles. Rose established
her company in 2011 and set her eyes on a historic former-bathhouse in the heart
of Hot Springs National Park. After a grueling two-year negotiation process with the
federal government, Rose received the lease on the building. Construction began
in 2013, and as they say, the rest is history. Today, “Rose and the Superior Bathhouse
brewing team crank out a constant stream of new beer from the original to the
outlandish,” writes Michelle Mouton Harrison, Event Coordinator at Superior Bathhouse
Brewery. “Rose considers beer to be a creative process. Like the varied timbers
and dynamics one can coax from a tuba, grains, hops, and yeast offer an endless
creative pallet,” shares Harrison.
360 MAGAZINE 67
Of course, visiting Hot Springs,
Arkansas wouldn’t be complete
without enjoying its natural beauty.
Find your adventure with guided
hikes, boat tours, and camping
opportunities located throughout the
park. Only staying for the weekend?
Garvan Woodland Gardens at
the University of Arkansas is the
perfect fit. Coming from the city,
this gorgeous botanical garden is
literally a breath of fresh air. Make
sure to stop by Anthony Chapel, a
rare architectural gem. Constructed
from nearly six-story high yellow pine
columns and beams with massive
floor-to-ceiling glass walls, it creates
a marvelous sight. No wonder it is
also listed as one of the top wedding
destinations in the United States.
If drinking beer made from thermal water
doesn’t sound appealing, opt for a more
traditional hot springs experience. Quapaw
Baths and Spa pampers visitors with unique spa
packages. While there, grab a healthy bite
at their café and shop the spa boutique for a
take-home treat.

For more romantic and relaxing getaways, Lookout Point Lakeside Inn is at your service.
Owner, Kristie Rosset describes her award winning B&B as a “little slice of heaven
overlooking Lake Hamilton.” Exceptional hospitality is accompanied by Rosset’s cuisine
with homemade, fresh breakfast and melt-in-your-mouth desserts. It’s sure hard to
say goodbye when it is time to leave, making Hot Springs, yet, another favorite travel
destination with tons of history, mobster mystique, and breathtaking views.

2016 Jaguar XF
35t R Sport RWD:
The New Benchmark for
the Business Segment
As of late, we got our hands wrapped around an Italian Racing Red
Second Generation XF and the results were quite satisfactory. Unlike its
revivals, the E-class and 5-Series, the Jaguar XF’s standard package out
performs with pinpoint steering and underprices at around $72,285. This is
the ultimate cruiser car.

Shorter and lower than its predecessor, it has a slightly longer wheelbase and is substantially lighter.
Unlike most models in the Jaguar kingdom, the new generation seems to be enjoying aluminum frames
and panels. XF is fabricated with a 75% aluminum skeleton making the weight distribution close to 50/50.
This supercharged V6 3.0L engine has about 340hp and 332lbft torque gaining speeds of 0-60 close to
5.0 seconds.

With a refined waistline and shoulders, the front grill seems to remain in tune with the overall
elegant and sporty heritage of the brand. The gorgeous silhouettes have integrated front LED
headlamps which save more energy than a traditional Xenon light. They are arguably brighter,
adding additional symmetry to their overall clean lines, especially at night. The boot of this vehicle
is a tad underwhelming, but the power trunk’s open and close feature is extremely convenient
for the busiest traveler on the go. Once you open the driver door, the soft close option makes the
door feel heavy and meaty like a traditional German vehicle.
360 MAGAZINE 75
The British had some plans to be distinctive this time around with 19” wheels, rear camera, blind spot and
driver condition monitor for safety, 380 Watt Meridian radio, laser heads-up display, illuminated foot plates,
10 color ambient lighting, fine grain leather, rich veneers, textured aluminum, 8” touchscreen controls and
navigation, electric rear sunblind, manual back side window blinds, a generous moon roof and 4 seat
climate zone. An extremely mature and sophisticated cabin with fresh lines engulf driver and passengers.
Items that remain the same are the retractable hockey-puc-like rotary shift and front vents in dashboard.
The interior is flush and effortless. There is no room for a crumb, lint, or a piece of hair. Other options that
our test model contained were parallel and perpendicular parking assist, lane departure, and traffic sign
recognition. The back also had ample leg, head, and knee room. Passengers close to 6 ft or taller will most
likely enjoy riding upfront or driving.
Although it shares the same standard power plant as the F-Type, the growl is much more muted. However,
just like its spunky little sister, the throttle and transmission can be controlled from the touchscreen tailoring
the driver experience to your liking. Dynamic and sport modes are highly recommended making the ride
stiffer and better while cornering. What makes the drive composure so evident are the double wishbone
suspension upfront and the integral link suspension on the back wheels which mimic an AWD experience in
this RWD model allowing the car to easily adapt to almost any terrain.

In short, this is one of the most practical sport sedans in its class due largely to its poise, price
and efficiency (approximately 24mpg combined city/hwy or 4.2 gallons per 100 miles). Want
something more agile and aggressive? Additional drive and power trains are rolling out soon
including a supercharged V8 and a 180-hp 2.0-liter turbodiesel.

Insomniac:
A Solo Show of Works by
ANGE
ANGE (Angela Donhauser) is a one-woman-show of self-portraits exploring existential themes such as
the human condition, gender identity, humanity, love, age, sexuality, pleasure & pain, society and
race. ANGE’s photographic practice is an ongoing series of visual vignettes, provoking and evoking a
deep emotional connection through drama and comedy, in a serious play of dress and undress. She
is one of the founding members of the cutting-edge fashion collective threeASFOUR. The avant garde
designs of threeASFOUR have been acquired for the permanent collections of numerous museums,
including The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cooper
Hewitt Museum. A self-taught visual artist, ANGE believes in “the school of life and the freedom of selfexpression.” Born in Tajikistan and raised in Germany, she traveled to New York City twenty years ago
where she currently resides.
“I call my work ‘mood swinging’ which is a humorous self critique by going to the depths of human
and feminine emotions and views on social and gender acceptance and personal freedom, I also
call myself a ‘emotional activist’. My work is drama and/or comedy, a political statement or simply just
visual poetry, either way it is there to provoke feeling and reflection. It’s about daily improvisations, on
a human and artistic level, communicating with the world around me and questioning and exploring
through inspiration everywhere. An artist’s responsibility is the integrity of truth and a certain rebellion
and activism as a reflection to society and our ever shifting cultural paradigms.”

tops, and bathing suit have managed to sneak up and motivate us
to knock off excessive pounds. I know I know I can speak for myself
and I am sure for a few of you, when I say that I am sick of looking at
that wall in front of my treadmill and exercise bike and I now want to
take my exercise outside!
There are many added benefits to an outdoor workout. Some include the production of vitamin
D3 when the sunlight hits one’s skin, which is important to bone health and metabolic function,
decreased depression, anger, and tension due to enjoying ones workout outside and saving
money on those monthly gym memberships. On the other hand it is important to remember
that exercising in the heat, if you are not prepared, can be dangerous. Below are some tips to
remember to ensure a safe workout when exercising outside this summer.
Prehydate, Hydrate and Rehydrate- Our bodies crave water! This becomes, especially true
during periods of high intensity activity or extended heat exposure. Water consumption should
begin 72 hours before activity by drinking six to eight, 8-ounce glasses of water per day. During
activity, one should drink six ounces of fluid (preferably water) every 15 minutes and should then
rehydrate following activity with 32 ounces of liquid per 1 pound of fluid loss.

Use Sunscreen- Although the sun has great benefits, it can be dangerous if we don’t apply sunscreen
understand that the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a crucia to ensure correct application. The SPF rating is a
measure of the fraction of sunburn-producing UV rays that will reach the skin. For example, SPF 30 means that
1/30th of the burning radiation will reach the skin. To determine the effectiveness of sunscreen multiply the SPF
factor by the length of time it takes for an individual to burn without sunscreen. It is also important to remember
that the higher the number on the sunscreen doesn’t mean that it will remain on the skin any longer than the
SPF with a lower number and it must be continually applied as directed.
Clothing choice- One should wear loose fitted, light weight and light colored clothing when exercising in the
sun. The light color will help reflect the sun, the light weight material will aid in quick evaporation of sweat and
the loose fit will allow for air to circulate between the skin and the material.
Time of day- If possible, complete all strenuous exercise in the morning or the evening. The sun is strongest from
11 a.m. until about 3 p.m., so unless you are training for an event that will take place during the mid-afternoon
heat avoid training during those times.
Exercising outside can be great, but not if we ignore what our bodies are telling us. Emergency rooms and
physicians offices fill up every year with people who weren’t exercising safely in the heat and then end up with
dehydration, heat exhaustion or heat stroke. You will have a summer filled with succesful workouts by listening
to your body and following the tips above.

Although Sabrina Carpenter’s
10-year goal is “to stay alive
and do what I love,” the
17-year-old singer/songwriter
will surely accomplish so much
more – on her own terms.

Carpenter started singing at 2 years old, began
dance lessons at 3, and singing lessons at 6
in order to pursue a professional career in the
entertainment field. “And then later on, I found
out that I loved to act. Because I realized that
at such a young age, I knew it was coming
from a real place of truth and just something
that really made me happy,” recalls Carpenter.
Would a 2-year-old think of a career goal? “You
know what, people told me that I was an old
soul, so I guess so,” she laughs.
Now, she’s been very well known for her role
as Maya Hart on Girl Meets World (which is
currently in its third season). “We are so lucky
to be able to further break the boundaries with
the subjects that we cover, and really help this
generation,” she says of the Disney Channel
hit series. “The more and more that our show is
going on, the more that we are in the know of
what’s happening in the world, and that’s the
audience we want to cater to.”

According to Carpenter, Maya Hart is “complex.
She’s gone through a lot, but she is also such a
loving human being.” (She quickly jokes: “Um,
maybe that’s why her last name is Hart, get it?
Ha!”) “I think she is very confident in who she is,
and she might hide some of the bad things she’s
gone through in her life with her confidence and
with her rebellious attitude, but that’s just what
makes her who she is. She’s blunt and she’s to
the point, and she really cares about people,”
Carpenter asserts, adding that through the role
of Maya Hart, she’s learned “some things about
teenage feelings – being a teenager and all the
things that come along with it. There’s something
new every day. Especially in high school, you
meet different kinds of people, and they change
your point of view and you’re changing every
five minutes, and it’s really something crazy.”
Back in 2014, Disney Consumer Products and
its D-signed clothing line created a Girl Meets
World collection – but Carpenter is looking to
launch her own clothing and/or makeup lines in
the future. “It’s all part of the creativity process,
which I love. And, as a young girl, I always loved
to draw, sketch, and make fashion sketches.
Fashion is always changing and always growing,
and always beating itself every single day. I
would love to explore all the different areas of
that,” describes Carpenter, who “took so much
from my sisters” on fashion and beauty when
growing up (“Growing up with them is mayhem.
It’s a lot of feelings, it’s a lot of emotions, and it’s
a lot of estrogen”).
Furthermore, she is getting ready for her second
album release (due out late this year) as the lead
single “Smoke and Fire” came out in February.
“I’ve written a lot of songs based on true personal
experiences, but I think when it comes to this
subject, it relates to so many people if not
everybody, and if not now, then in the future, it
will relate to everybody. It’s just something that
we all go through, and it’s really cool that I was
able to connect to my audience on a more
universal level. Not only that, but it was just like, I
got to sing a song that had all the soul that I had
been dying to get out of my system for a very
long time so it’s a very special song to me,” she
confidently explains of the fiery anthem. “We
wrote the chorus and the verse on the first night,
and then, a couple months later, we finished the
song in New York City.”

Carpenter says that the album focuses on “the universal
subjects of real-life people interactions and feelings, and
inspirational/motivational subjects. Music speaks for itself in
the music so the lyrics are really just the icing on the cake and
how you tell the story,” she continues. “We all have stories for
reason, and if we keep them to ourselves, I don’t feel they
would help anybody. There are a lot of things that people go
through, and maybe they don’t know how to get through it,
and maybe you do, and if you have some sort of knowledge
or power, share with the world.”
In late April, moreover, she performed at an American Red
Cross event. “That was beautiful, very, very incredible that
I was honored to perform that, but there are gonna be so
many great causes and charities that I’ve been lucky enough
to support and be a part of this year,” she shares. “Music is
such a strong thing in our lives that can really help us through
anything. And, I try to get the most positive messages that
I can get to my fans but not even just positivity, it’s also just
inspiration in the way that you can do anything that you put
your mind to. Music is such a diverse thing. It truly is – it’s like
another language that we all speak somewhere inside of us, so
it’s a great way to get your messages across.”

MODULARITY
LIFE AND LEISURE
TRANSPORTABILITY
A romantic gateway for two or a mobile house
in the middle of a lake for the entire family
or a group of friends. With a fixed width
of 6 metres and lengths ranging from 10 to 18
metres, the possibilities are almost endless.
Whether you want a cosy studio or a fully
furnished three-bedroom house, the freedom
of nature is on your doorstep.
Whether you choose to use the floating home
as a base camp for numerous outdoor activities
such as sailing, paddling, water skiing or fishing,
or simply to relax, you’re guaranteed a great
living experience. Its facilities include a fully
equipped kitchen for everyday use, heat pump
and AC generator, a barbecue on the upper
terrace for sunny days and a wine cellar and
pellet stove to keep you warm on cold days.
The modular design of the house means that
all its components, including equipment and
furniture, can be easily stored in two standard
containers and shipped to almost anywhere
on the planet.
MOBILITY
With two small outboard motors, you can take
your time to enjoy the trip at a moderate speed
of three knots and wake up in a different place
every day.
AUTONOMY
When charged, the house is self-sufficient
for at least seven days. It produces up to 80%
of its annual energy needs (100% for over six
months).
Tel Aviv’s pristine shoreline is bordered on
one side by the exquisite Mediterranean and
on the other by a modern city known for its
excellent restaurants, diverse population,
and a lively night scene.
ECO-CONSCIOUSNESS
It has been designed with low environmentally
impactful materials and technologies that
reduce its carbon footprint and lower its
energy needs. It has a compact activated sludge
wastewater treatment plant.
EQUIPMENT LEVELS
LEVEL 1
The floating house is tied to the bank and has fixed connections
to municipal networks. Autonomy and mobility are secondary
to the benefits of comfort and price. There is no need for motorisation.
Thermal and photovoltaic solar panels are not essential but may exist
as with any other housing.
LEVEL 2
The floating house gains autonomy and mobility. It has its own
motorisation which provides you with moderate mobility (3 knots) and
reasonable energy autonomy (5 m² of solar panels and 23 m²
of photovoltaic panels) with a solar sourced energy component of
around 65% across the annual cycle, and 100% for four months of the
year. The water supply and wastewater are stored in their own tanks
with capacity for a 7-day stay.
LEVEL 3
The floating house is endowed with a more consistent battery of solar
panels (31 m²) and a pellet stove. Excluding mobility, energy autonomy
now stands at 85% across the annual cycle, and at 100% for 6 months.
The floating house also now has a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP),
including primary and secondary treatment by activated sludge.

The WWTP now includes advanced tertiary treatment by ceramic
membrane filtration that allows for final disposal into the water below
under completely sanitary conditions (EEC Directive 91/271). Onboard
water storage is only for food preparation and personal hygiene.
The remaining water needs (cisterns, outdoor hoses, cleaning, etc.)
are addressed through direct uptake from the watercourse and
appropriate treatment through a mini supply water treatment plant.
For six months of the year, between April and September, the floating
house does not need any kind of refuelling or maintenance. This period
of autonomy can be extended to one year with just some stored fuel
and bags of pellets.

Lamborghini
Centenario
142
360 MAGAZINE
Makes North
American Debut in
Los Angeles
360 MAGAZINE 143
Automobili Lamborghini and a group
of VIP clients gathered at the Petersen
Automotive Museum last week for a private
viewing of the Lamborghini Centenario, the
company’s newest one-off supercar. The
evening’s event marked the first time that
the Centenario was on display to U.S. clients
since its debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor
Show. The Petersen Automotive Museum
provided the perfect backdrop to highlight
Lamborghini’s iconic heritage with an
exciting nod to its fast tracking future.
“This car is the ultimate expression of Automobili Lamborghini,”
said Alessandro Farmeschi, Automobili Lamborghini America
Chief Operating Officer. “The Centenario marks what would
have been the 100th birthday of Ferruccio Lamborghini and
is a fitting tribute to our company’s founder. Its cutting design
showcases the latest technologies that give our super sports
cars such a competitive edge.”
The Centenario features an all-carbon-fiber body available
in either an exposed or painted finish showcasing the perfect
attention to detail Lamborghinis are known for. With its body
panels exposed, the beauty of Lamborghini’s carbon fiber
mastery is undeniable. Each intersection of the woven material
catches light at a slightly different angle, setting the car off
with an incredible degree of visual depth.
144
360 MAGAZINE
360 MAGAZINE 145
Over the course of its production, a total of 20 coupes and 20
roadsters will be delivered to clients. In addition to breaking new
ground in body styling and material composition for the brand,
this car is also the first Lamborghini to use all-wheel steering to
enhance agility at low speeds and offer improved stability at
high speeds. The rear wheels are able to turn in the opposite
direction of the front axle to create a virtual reduction in the
wheelbase or to rotate with the front wheels for the opposite
effect.
Future Centenario owners may choose from a long list of
customization options for the car that will allow each unit to
be totally personalized, but a touch screen with connected
capability is one feature that will come with every model
regardless of equipment specification. For the first time ever, the
touch screen – mounted in the center console – brings Internet
connectivity to the world of Lamborghini.
Aerodynamics were an essential consideration in the
development of this car. During that process, Lamborghini’s
engineers chose to use an adjustable rear wing that actively
adapts to vehicle speed in order to provide optimal downforce
as conditions demand. Aerodynamic inlets made of several
fins characterize both the front and rear of the car as part of
a design reminiscent of sports cars sold in the 1970s. Like every
other piece of the car’s design, those inlets also enhance
vehicle performance by contributing to aerodynamic
downforce, improving airflow to the rear radiators and
delivering optimized cooling.
Purity of design is a Lamborghini hallmark that harkens back
to some of its earliest designs. This year, the brand celebrates
the 50th anniversary of Miura, which is largely credited as the
world’s first mid-engine supercar and arguably one of the
most beautiful automobiles in history. As a result, many of the
notable design cues including the large side air intakes sitting
behind the doors on the Centenario are a direct reflection of its
predecessor.
The Centenario takes performance to a new level. Its dry
weight is only 3,351 lbs, yet it houses the most powerful engine in
Lamborghini history. The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 creates
770 horsepower capable of propelling the car from 0-60 mph in
only 2.7 seconds toward a top speed in excess of 217 mph.
Further adding to the car’s performance credentials, it is also
fitted with Lamborghini’s dynamic steering system to offer an
especially quick turn-in feel to the driver while maintaining a
sense of control. That tight sense of handling capability is also
due to the car’s standard magneto rheological damping
system that can react to changing road conditions in an instant.

Taking inspiration from the wine country, the lodge and spa is a seamless combination of rusticcountry and a modern-chic atmosphere. Right as we stepped out of our Rolls-Royce Dawn, luxury
was apparent in the classy, welcoming lobby. While familiarizing yourself with the hotel grounds,
take a walk to the spa area where a cozy living room will be the first stage to your rejuvenating
experience. The Spa at Bernardus Lodge offers unique and customizable packages for individuals,
couples, and groups alike. Their “garden-to-soul” philosophy allows each guest to heal and relax
completely with natural ingredients; many of which come straight from their organic gardens and
vineyards. Of course, relaxing would not be complete without a quality glass of wine. Enjoy a glass
or two from their extensive selections at the on-site wine cellar or alongside a gourmet dinner.

Speaking of dinner, dining at Lucia Restaurant & Bar
is a must. Chef Cal Stamenov collects every meal’s
ingredients fresh from the 28-acre Bernardus estate.
The delicious and nutritious meals are a fine example
of California-country cuisine with a hint of luxury. We
not only recommend dinners, but breakfasts as well.
Healthy, seasonal, and well-balanced entrees await
both early birds and late comers. Options include a
classic American breakfast, Cal’s Alderwood Smoked
Salmon, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Mediterranean
Frittata and many more. Smoothies and freshly
squeezed juices are also available on the menu. For
an exclusive dinner with a loved one, private chef
tables are sure to impress.

may want to extend your stay. The Premium Guest Rooms come with a contemporary design and a bit

mountain range, croquet lawn, and bocce court. The suites have a rustic-chic, but homey theme
displayed in every detail. Each suite is 1,050 square feet with a terrace or balcony, a dining table,
lounge chairs, and either a fireplace or a fire pit. Exciting new additions coming this summer are two
