ABDC is my favorite TV show right now. The competition is more intense than last season.  Now it’s down to 3 teams:  Fanny Pac, SoReal Cru and Super Cr3w.

The creative cats and kittens at Obscura Digital have put together a stunning piece of performance art / data manipulation demo which combines their proprietary multi-touch software with Musion’s Eyeliner 3D holographic projection system. Like that BMW installation we saw recently, this is one of those odd combinations of technology and art which is best seen in action rather than described — so check out the video after the break and see the work in all its mind-bending glory.

For ALPINA, simply substituting a larger engine for added performance is considered alien. Instead, the German automaker prefers to “maximize the sporting potential of existing units.” With that in mind, ALPINA has tweaked the twin-turbo diesel powerplant from the BMW 123d and dropped it under the hood of the BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe. With a new output of 214 hp, and 330 lb.-ft. of torque, the coupe will hit 62 mph in 6.9 seconds as it accelerates towards its top speed of 152 mph. Best of all, and the modus operandi behind the eco-friendly sports car, the ALPINA D3 squeezes out a combined EU fuel economy rating of 52.3 mpg with a stick shift (50.4 mpg with an automatic). Before you go running down to your neighborhood BMW dealer, we’ll remind you that the ALPINA D3 will only be sold overseas with a base price starting at £32,950 (about $64,500)
