Toyota GT86-R Marangoni Eco Explorer introduced in Geneva
Can can or ammonia or petrol
Marangoni Tyres has introduced the Toyota GT 86-R Eco Explorer at the Geneva Motor Show.
Designed to highlight the company's technical prowess, the model has been equipped with a TRC Italia body kit that includes a LFA-inspired front bumper, extended side skirts and a carbon fiber rear diffuser. The car also has a ventilated hood, carbon fiber accents and a gloss black roof. Other goodies include a KW suspension (which reduces the ride height by 35mm), Brembo brakes and 19-inch Barracuda Karizzma wheels with bespoke M-Power EvoRed tires.
The interior is instantly recognizable but has been outfitted with Sparco racing seats, alloy pedals and a bespoke gear knob. There's also carbon fiber trim and an Alcantara headliner.
To make the car more eco-friendly, it has been equipped with a Bigas International NH3 engine system that uses ammonia to enable the model to have zero emissions at low speeds. When more performance is required, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine takes over. While it normally produces 200 HP (147 kW), this particular mill has an optimized air intake and a stainless steel sports exhaust system which enables it to develop 220 HP (162 kW).

Outex Waterproof DSLR Cover
Problem: you want to use your DSLR to shoot some rad watersport photos, but standing on the shoreline or using those disposable waterproof cameras isn’t nearly rad enough. And even less rad is trying to fit your personal rig into a Ziplock freezer bag to protect it from the wet. Solution: Outex waterproof DSLR covers. The blue (and black), hermetically sealed wetsuit housings fit practically any DSLR/lens/accessory setup imaginable and keep the elements out to a depth of 10 meters. Safely using your own camera in the middle of the ocean, in a muddy field or on a sand dune? Totally rad.
Once you’ve squeezed your camera into the Outex cover, high-grade glass optical lenses screw onto both the viewfinder and business end of the camera to ensure a proper seal and keep image quality crisp. The wetsuits themselves are not transparent, but rather are designed to allow photogs to operate the camera via tactile feedback — Outex likens this to a surgeon operating while using rubber gloves — and while there aren’t currently covers compatible with LCD screen viewing, Outex is raising money to fund such future endeavors. This is a modular system, meaning there are covers for myriad bodies, lenses and flashes, tripod adapters and more; accessories like straps are available too. Prices vary depending on what sort of camera and lenses you’re sporting, but enjoying uncleanly activities with one less care in the world is constant across the board.
