Yes, this is the Ferrari of the future

-


This is it, the winner of Ferrari’s ‘Top Design School Challenge’. It’s called the Manifesto, and it is supposed to embody how the Ferrari of the year 2040 will look.



Of course, it’s not real in any way. It’s not even full size. Yet though it’s actually quite small, it represents a big victory for the six design students in charge of its design.

Some context, then. Late last year, Maranello set the world’s top design institutes a challenge: to imagine what a Ferrari supercar could look like in 25 years’ time. If that sounds like a long way off, it’s over 20 years since we first saw the Ferrari 355.



After whittling down 50 entries from the first round down to eight schools, the competition then went down to three models each from four different institutes. That’s twelve.


From there, a winner – that’s Manifesto – was chosen as the overall ‘Gran Premio’ winner, selected by a jury consisting of such Ferrari luminaries as Sebastian Vettel, Paolo Pininfarina, Nick Mason, Jay Kay and Flavio Manzoni.



The judges were apparently won over by the ‘completeness’ of the design, as well as their ability to build a complete vision of the car across the exterior, cabin and running gear. They also loved the doors quite a bit.

The panel also wanted to make special mention of the FL, which focused purely on FutureFerrari’s interior, saying the Russian design student had rethought the ‘human-machine interface’.



There was another winner too – the ‘Premio Speciale’, awarded via an online vote cast through Ferrari’s Facebook page. That award went to de Esfera.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

LG showcases new rollable 65” OLED display

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.

Nintendo announces 2DS XL for $150

-
Image
Nintendo has dropped a new handheld console, the 2DS XL. The 2DS XL is big step up from the toast-shaped 2DS and is essentially the 3DS XL but without the 3D display. That's really all there is to be said about this. The 2DS XL includes the faster processor, C-stick and NFC reader for Amiibos from the 3DS XL but lacks the 3D display and has a more compact and lighter design. The 2DS XL will still be compatible with all the 3DS games, just that you can't play them in 3D.
