MORE WALLPAPERS : Hydra Coupé Studio Shoot

3 new Hydra Coupé wallpapers, all in 1920 HD for your screen. Pick and enjoy, Daniel

This imposing 1942 supercharged V16 Coupé is the eccentric personal car of Marvel's villain Johann Schmidt - the Red Skull. Designed by Lead Vehicle Designer Daniel Simon for the 2011 feature film 'Captain America', it is seen here in a special finish. Technically a roadster, Schmidt did not like to rename his beloved machine that began life as a Coupé. At 7.62m length, and with 10 wheels driven by a 16 cylinder cube power engine, it is said to be the fastest car of the era.
'Captain America: The First Avenger' is available on Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand.

INSIDE HOLLYWOOD: Tron Uprising | Submersible

Design drawing of the submersible appearing in episode "The Renegade Part 2". Originally a three men vehicle with two light torpedo officers and one pilot, it is driven by the Tron character alone. Massive ram hammers on each side to pierce targets under water. Concept is loosely inspired by a hammer head shark. Crew lays flat on the belly due to the low profile.

EVENT: Bunkspeed X anniversary was cool

My poster signing and speech for the 10th anniversary of Bunkspeed last night. Awesome vibe at the Crocker Club Los Angeles. The club is a real former downtown bank, totally heist movie style. Thank you for the energy and support there!

Cheers, Daniel

VERY FIRST IMAGE: 'Curiosity' has landed

Imagine it in reverse: Some creatures from Mars land a big car in your backyard, drive it around remotely and pick your tomatoes to analyze. That's what humans just did.
First shot from the massive mars mobile 'Curiosity', the size of a freaking car. Sent 2 minutes after falling from space onto a planet currently 600 times further away than our moon. This is really happening.

LANDING ON MARS: 9 hours to go

9 HOURS AWAY! In 9 hours and 27 minutes this massive rover on the right ('Curiosity') will land on Mars after it left Earth in November !! This is insane. Landing procedure was never tested. Good luck !
