A special-made Diablo figure that maybe you've never heard of before

Supercar appearance which is certainly going to amaze the world's automotive enthusiasts. Moreover, what will be discussed this time is the figure of the raging bull logoed supercar known as the Lamborghini Diablo. This cool supercar is made by Lamborghini, one of Italy's premium car manufacturers based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. Although this is not the latest bull figure, Lambo Diablo still deserves to be included in the cool supercars to date.

This unique Lambo supercar is designed by Jorge Antonio Fernández García aka Joan Fercí, and completed built in 2000 by a company called Automobiles Lamborghini Latinoamérica SA. after in 1995 obtained permission from the Automobili Lamborghini SpA. to build the Lamborghini variant and distribute it in Mexico, and throughout Latin America including the Caribbean. Even the South American company also said on its official website that they were allowed to build a limited series of special track-oriented models and even made their own concepts with Lamborghini components, which would later produce and named the Lamborghini Coatl.

One of the most special ways that they produced the car and make it unique was the fact that the steering wheel is made specifically by a single craftsman with a size that is suitable and has been adjusted to the hand and fingers of the owner. Likewise, the pedals and seats are specially made to fit the actual owner. This seat will be made of the mold taken from the person who would be driving the Coatl, while the weight will also be taken into account when finishing the driver's seat.

Then the car's exterior paintwork is also done in accordance with the owner's wishes, which means there are no two Coatls the same. The paint specifically was made of 14 coats of the owner-selected-shades and depending on where the sun was in the sky during the daytime, and the tint of the paint can shift from an orange to a red color with a brown highlight. And continued to the color of the interior part which is covered with genuine leather would also be dyed on the owner’s demand and even this South American company also stitched in such a way the owner's name or initials on the carpet and the seats.

It took four years (from 1996 to 2000) to design and build the first Lamborghini Coatl, which was finally presented to the public in 2000 and named the Lamborghini Eros 2000. Those hard work results did not seem to be in vain, due to the top speed could be produced by this car no less than 385 kph (234 mph) and acceleration from rest to 100 kph (around 61 mph) in just 3.54 seconds, the engine is naturally tuned to get these numbers, with an output a power of 635 Bhp and an enlarged displacement of almost 6.3 Liters is needed! 

In 2000, when the car was first officially presented to the public, it caused quite a stir among the Lamborghini's fanatics and was seen as a love-or-hate design. Because according to them, Lamborghini Latinoamérica has transformed their precious Diablo into some weird blob of metal, the term they might use to describe the figure of the Lamborghini Diablo Coatl. This is understandable because the design has always been a vital necessity for Lamborghini's hardcore fans, and if you have a bit of money left over and want to stand out against regular Murcielago and Huracan owners, this is definitely the way to do it.

This is the only electric-powered Mustang pony

Radical changes made by Ford in its legendary muscle car, the Ford Mustang. In collaboration with Webasto, Ford displayed a prototype of the electric-powered Ford Mustang called the Ford Mustang Lithium at the 2019 SEMA Show.

It's said that the electric-powered Mustang has an extraordinary power that is equal to 900 hp with torque reaching more than 1,000 ft.lbs. For now, the car is available one unit only. It seems as if it wants to show the electrification process that has been done by Ford till today.

"It's no secret that Ford electrified its popular models. This Mustang prototype provided us and the Webasto the opportunity to show consumers what electricity can do for performance cars they already know and love," Head of Ford Product Development, Hau Thai-Tang said.

Under the hood, which is usually filled with a conventional petrol engine is now swapped with the Phi-Power dual-core electric motor and dual power inverters. All powered by Webasto's 800-volt battery. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/39fuFC9)

This electric-powered beast is very flat and sleek, with a carbon-fiber body. Under the hood, which is usually filled with a conventional petrol engine is now replaced with the Phi-Power dual-core electric motor and dual power inverters. All of that is powered by an 800-volt Webasto battery with EVDrive technology, where the battery power is almost 2 times bigger than the electric car batteries available on the market today.

In its black dominant interior is given a touch of blue, signifying an electric car. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/39fuFC9)

Besides using a 6-speed manual transmission system, and to support its fierce performance, a number of other additional features were installed on the Mustang Lithium such as the Brembo brake device that is the same as the Shelby GT350R, Ford Performance's Track Handling Pack and strut tower brace, and diffuser.

But in contrast to reality, it turn out was not the figure of an electric-powered muscle car which was later produced by Ford. Well, in the near future, the American automotive giant manufacturer is preparing the figure of the Ford Mustang Mach-E to be released at the end of 2020. 

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is the all-new, Mustang-inspired, fully-electric performance utility vehicle with power up to 332 hp and 417 lb.ft of torque capable of running as far as 300 miles. This car is able to accelerate from rest to 60 mph in just 3 seconds.

This is not the first time for this American automotive manufacturer has made a radical change process on the Mustang. In the past, Ford had also ever experimented by swapping its standard engine with the Wankel engine to become its drivetrain. Check here! *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FORD | THE DRIVE | MOTOR1]

The biggest hopes of Melling Hellcat to catch the Veyron never happened

Of the many supercar names that did not reach the production stage perfectly and recorded sales figures or can also be said to be mere boasting. Noted there is a supercar known as Melling Hellcat in 2006.

It was a car that was originally mentioned will be the most serious competitor of the V10-engined car for Bugatti Veyron. Not only that, when it viewed from the name derived from the name of the person who developed it is clearly not just any name.

2007 Melling Hellcat is conceptualized and developed by Al Melling, a slightly mad engineer and designer who had dealings in F1 through many famous names. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2sQtubV)

Well, the Melling Hellcat is a car conceptualized and developed by Al Melling, a slightly mad engineer and designer who had dealings in F1 through many famous names such as Lamborghini, Chevrolet, Leyton House Formula One and Benetton. Through his company called, Melling Consultancy Design was once the center of engine development that had succeded to help TWR win at Le Mans with Jaguar four years in a row and also had been known to develop the TVR Speed ​​Six block which is used in many modern TVR sports cars.

2007 Melling Hellcat's interior could be described as simple, sparse but functional. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2sQtubV)

But a little different for this mid-engined car, Melling decided that he didn't want to just build a custom engine and instead would take on the establishment with his own bespoke supercar. He had experience with V10s through engine development for the Lola F1 team which never came to fruition, but the engine he built for his own supercar was something else.

Al Melling in another his sports car called the 'Wildcat'. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Zi9Ul2)

It is a 6.0-liter quad-turbo V10 engine which is said to produce 1,175 bhp of power and 880 lb.ft of torque, with heads and blocks milled from a large billet of aluminum material. And the car comes with a weight of only 1,200 kg and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds (that's a surprising acceleration time figures for 2006). And for its exterior design strongly influenced by TVR, and also has a Marcos TSO GT touches within its thundering line.

2007 Melling Hellcat comes with a weight of only 1,200 kg and said to be able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/377sbEl)

The Hellcat was built as Melling's motivation to enter Le Mans once again after it was previously done with TWR, with the aim being to produce a GT1 variant of the road car to take-on the endurance world. It's said to only 50 units will be produced in its Rochdale-based factory, but unfortunately, the number of cars produced has never touched or approached that numbers.

Although the lack of car production numbers, but the top speed proposed by Hellcat could be a nightmare for the Bugatti Veyron. Melling quoted 295 mph in full chat, but if we're honest and thought the claim is mere boasting. Sure, it has four turbochargers like Bugatti but according to some automotive observers aerodynamically the speed of this car has no hope of rising close to the 300 mph figures.

This is because the frontal area and general dimensions of the car do not allow such speed figures to be reached, especially with a power of 'only' around 1,200 bhp. Then at a price of around £ 185,000, it can almost be considered as a bargain even if it reaches 230 mph, which is why those claimed top speed figures make it look like a joke.

In the end, the Melling Hellcat never made it into any automotive showroom, and let the Bugatti Veyron have the world's top speed record for itself for years. That is a fantastic hypothetical part of the British-made V10-engined supercar that could have asserted itself as a performance legend even though in reality it doesn't make any sense. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOBLOG | DRIVETRIBE | SUPERCARS]

A fierce-looks and futuristic six-wheeled ATV

By applying technology that is not extraordinary, great ideas are developed to drive transportation forward. This can be seen as done by a Perth-based company named Ferox Advanced Vehicles Corporation when it implements some big ideas on the vehicle that is being made by it. This unusual vehicle concept briefly displays the figure of a six-wheeled ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle).

The futuristic six-wheeled fluid drive off-road vehicle named Ferox Azaris debuted at the Top Marques 2019 in Monaco. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2ElHoVU)

Well, the physical appearance of the vehicle which was later given the name 'Ferox Azaris' looks like a futuristic car that appears in science fiction films.

Remarkably, in addition to having six wheels are also equipped with the new fluid-drivetrain appliance combined with a BMW Motorrad R1200 engine in the back of its frame, with its shaft drive unit intact. And where the wheel would normally be mounted, Ferox has mounted a pump unit instead, so the motorcycle motor is entirely devoted to driving that pumps.

The Ferox Azaris pushes the limits of vehicle design and gives life to future transport. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2rX33RF)

Interviewed by CarAdvice, CEO of Ferox Advanced Vehicles, Troy Wheeler, began to explain 'fluid' and 'hydraulic' technology. "Typically hydraulics run between 3,000 and 15,000 psi. They're high-pressure, they tend to be inefficient, they need big cooling reservoirs for de-foaming, and they're very jerky," Wheeler explained.

The futuristic six-wheeled off-road vehicle named Ferox Azaris is powered by 4 electric motors on the wheels powered by a twin-cylinder BMW R1200 GS motorcycle engine. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2ElHoVU)

Wheeler also said the liquid drive material offers big savings and an electric motor equivalent to a weight of 30 kg. "The whole system is very responsive - and that is a big difference to traditional hydraulics. Usually, they are quite jerked. But our system has a high startup torque, similar to an electric motor," Wheeler said later.

As reported by Newatlas, with the use of wheels mounted directly on its four motors, the company said that Azaris will be able to handle 678 Nm of torque per wheel and there are larger motors capable of providing larger torque of up to 1,152 Nm.

Although the Azaris has not been fully tested in off-road environments, the six-wheeled vehicle prototype has driven smoothly on the rough surface testing. Currently, there are no plans to bring the Azaris to the market, so for those of you who want to bring this unique vehicle, it seems like you have to wait very long, and of course at a very expensive price.

Indeed, the production process of the Azaris is not cheap and is rumored to reach $500,000. The manufacturing process is entirely made by hand, of course making the production process slow and expensive.
This six-wheeled vehicle has made its debut at the Top Marques 2019 in Monaco which runs from 30 May to June 2, 2019. Instead of producing cars for the market, the Ferox team tried to explore further technology and find new partners to help its vehicle development. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FEROX | NEW ATLAS | GATSBYONLINE.COM | CARADVICE]

The First street-legal F1 supercar

Driving an F1 car might have been the dream of all automotive enthusiasts in the world. But it is very difficult for us to sit behind the wheel and then drive the land jets. It seems that now the dream will soon come true. An Aussie named Zac Mihajlovic has ambitions to make a Formula 1 replica powered by Ferrari's engine that will be sold in limited quantities. Amazingly, the car can not only run on the racing circuit but can also be used on the highway (adjusted later to the roadworthy permits in the vehicle owner's country).

Zac Mihajlovic is the person responsible for turning many people's dreams into reality and building the car with the help of a custom motorcycle builder named Scotty Cox. The car manufacturing process which was later given the name 'Zacaria Supercars' has been going on for almost more than 5 years.

Mihajlovic began his career in the world of car manufacturing since 1989 when he built with its street-legal Batmobile supercar based on the vehicle used in Tim Burton's Batman films. Actually, he had always received a request to make a super vehicle but was hampered due to the licensing issues.

Driven by an interest in his Batmobile, Mihajlovic began working on this F1 racing car replicas that could be driven on the streets. And he said, "So I thought, what's the next most extreme thing that I can build to drive on the streets? Nobody ever has done it with F1 cars, they have made cool things like BAC Mono or Ariel Atom, but they are 4-cylinder engined and more look like concept cars."

"If you want to drive an original F1 car, and should have a team that is needed to run it so I think about the modern V8 or V12 engine from Ferrari, maybe there is a market for people who want something that nobody else has," he said further.

The car development began by taking the 6.3-liter V12 engine which came from a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta carcass in England. The engine has been integrated into a 6-speed transaxle transmission system from Albins, the company responsible for the transmission system that used in the Australian' Supercars racing series.

Then this car's body by handmade that uses full aluminum materials and also is pinned the hydraulic lift system to make it easier to pass through damaged roads. The Zacaria SC made its debut in this year's Top Marques Monaco event back on May 30, 2019, one of the most glamorous events showcasing the world's finest automobiles.

Zac Mihajlovic, the man behind the machine and CEO of Zacaria Supercars said that he had received interest from potential buyers and hoped to sell every of the Zacaria SC that he made at a price of more than AUS $700,000 (around the US. $509,000 or Rp.10.4 billion). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ZACARIA SUPERCARS | GATSBYONLINE.COM]

Three Koenigsegg's hypercar concepts of #KoenigseggSketchChallenge

Koenigsegg is a famous hypercar manufacturer from Sweden. The manufacturer recently launched its latest hypercar figure named Koenigsegg Jesko at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show held last March. Recently appeared in cyberspace, many Angelholm brand' hypercar concepts.

A challenge event on social media called #KoenigseggSketchChallenge introduced by Sasha Selippanov is aimed at the world's independent automotive designers to share their vision of the Swedish marque with the world. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/35qELhq)

As we all knew, there's a challenge event called #KoenigseggSketchChallenge on social media aimed at the world's independent automotive designers to share their vision of the Swedish marque with the world. This event was introduced by the new design boss of the automotive manufacturer, Sasha Selipanov, and the challenge will end on Friday, December 20, 2019.

Even challenges like this will certainly result in many hypercars designs that feature alluring shapes, shapes that define the brand. However, there are some artists who help us imagine the possibilities that lie ahead for Koenigsegg, such as the grand tourer, the entries for the upcoming Le Mans Hypercar class and even a concept that involves lending company expertise to someone who built an SUV through the new Koenigsegg's RAW Design House.

1. Koenigsegg Sport Utility Vehicle Concept
Although the Swedish high-performance vehicle brand will never make an SUV product, as Christian von Koenigsegg, CEO Koenigsegg himself has said. But it doesn't seem to diminish the desire of a Brazilian automotive designer named Pedro Ruperto to give birth to an SUV design for the Swedish marque.

Koenigsegg SUV Concept looks like a lifted hypercar with hidden rear doors designed by Pedro Ruperto. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2YXk61Z)

It could be said as the SUV with a double-bubble roof and one that actually manages to please the eye. And of course, since there's no such thing. However, if Koenigsegg would help build a crossover, the contraption might just end up looking like a jacked-up hypercar, which means the said feature wouldn't be impossible.

2. Koenigsegg Longtail Concept
The whole concept comes from Riccardo Angelini, Lead Exterior Designer at Tata Motors (the office in Turin, Italy), which is Jaguar Land Rover's parent company - it's only normal for designers to come up with sketches that showcase toys belonging to other brands in their Instagram spare time.

By zooming in on the lines of the hypercar, which noticed that the design DNA of the Swedish brand is clearly here. Whether talking about the front end styling cues of the Le Mans prototype racer-like cabin this thing looks like a proper Koenigsegg.

While the 360-degree rear wing dominates the track version, the longtail approach is still visible with the road car. And Riccardo also talks about the hardware hidden inside the amazing aero work, noting that the Akrapovic exhaust comes in the form of titanium blades that blend in with the rest of the design.

3. Koenigsegg Grand Tourer Concept

The hypercar rendering image below was given the name 'Koenigsegg Brita RS'. And the figure of the Koenigsegg Grand Tourer concept above was born from the skilled hand scratches of an automotive designer named Mikael Lugnegård who is said to have been in the business for fifteen years. From the design of the hypercar on display, it appears as a hypercar figure with an engine mounted in front of the steering wheel. Thus it is not surprising then that this hypercar has a long hood, which is exactly what can be seen in the rendering image.

With the front-mid-engine layout adds elegance to the design. And it can be said also, that the same thing about the lean muscular area that covers the vehicle wheels. Furthermore, the cabin looks short so that at first glance gives limited visibility to a vehicle that aims to offer a practical sensation of speed. But this can be overcome if one time this car is produced later. Of course, we cannot talk about this without mentioning that such hypercar can package a three-seat layout, with this seeming to be increasingly popular lately.

Although, all car concepts above are not real, but do not rule out the possibility of the Swedish hypercar manufacturer is interested in making one of them as a real car someday. We look forward to it. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEVOLUTION]

Looking back to 2012 Chevrolet Miray hybrid concept

About a decade ago the American automaker General Motors introduced a concept car with dual drivetrains or hybrid called the Chevrolet Miray at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show. In Korean, the Miray means 'the future.' The American giant automotive manufacturer deliberately created the Chevrolet Miray Concept not only for the prestigious automotive exhibition in the country but was also to celebrate the Chevrolet's 100th anniversary at that time.

The Chevrolet Miray hybrid concept car is a roadster sports car that is powered by two electric motors mounted on its front wheels, and each is capable of producing power of 15 kW (around 20 hp). In addition to the electric motor, this concept car is also reinforced by a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with a capacity of 1,500 liters to drive the rear wheels.

Besides the combination of the two drivetrains, the Chevrolet Miray Concept also comes with a 1.6 kWh lithium-ion battery that can be recharged with a regenerative braking system. With such technology carried by, the Miray Concept can run only by using the power of its electric motors alone, when it takes increasing power, and the petrol engine can be immediately used.

This compact roadster with futuristic and unique design has dimensions of length 3,991 mm, a width of 1,865 mm, a height of 1,110 m with a wheelbase of 2,375 mm. While the appearance of his body implies a thick sporty feel with dynamic curves. The Mi-Ray body design is said to be inspired by the company's classic cars such as the 1963 Monza SS and the 1962 Corvair Super Spyder.

This roadster car has a roof that can be opened, then use the scissor-type doors, and equipped with an aerodynamic body like today's fighter aircraft. And in some parts of the body such as spoilers have utilized carbon fiber material while for the Miray' legs use 20-inch wheels on the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear.

Like other concept cars, until now there has been no information whether the Chevrolet Mi-Ray concept car will be mass-produced, it looks like this car will remain just one of GM's show cars. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEVOLUTION]

Gordon Murray T.50 supercar with rear-mounted fan

As we all knew, Gordon Murray was the key person behind the birth of the iconic supercar of McLaren F1. And currently, the world's renowned automotive designer is developing the driver-oriented supercar and all carried out through his owned company, the Gordon Murray Automotive. The car is known as the T.50 and claimed to be the lightest supercar ever.

The T.50 Supercar by Gordon Murray Automotive aimed to be "the last and greatest" analog supercar ever built. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/36A8h4x)

And some time ago, Gordon Murray Automotive offered a new look at its T.50 supercar, which was said to be the spiritual successor of the famous McLaren F1 Murray.

The company also outlined details about one of the vehicle's most interesting features, namely the fan system at the rear. Look like the T.50 design is taken inspiration from the Brabham BT46B Formula 1 car with a giant fan at the rear.

Formula 1 design legend Gordon Murray's all-new T.50 supercar will incorporate fan car technology inspired by his controversial 1978 Brabham BT46B. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Ph3Cyv)

This feature offers a massive improvement in terms of aerodynamics. To get the right aerodynamic factor, the automaker has a partnership with the Racing Point Formula One Team to use the rolling-road wind tunnel of their-owned and get assistance from the engineers there.

It is claimed that the 15.75-inch (400 millimeters) sized-fan feature accelerates the airflow as it passes through the rear diffuser. It uses a vertically installed intake duct to prevent the fan from picking up road debris. Then there is also the ventilations which direct the air downward to cool the powertrain oil. For further aerodynamic adjustment, there are two active wings on the back that can bend upward to increase downforce or flatten to reduce drag.

"What we do when the fan fires up, and we want more downforce at lower speeds, is we open the slot and spool the fan up to the maximum, and we remove all the dirty air and the boundary layers, and that means that the air has to follow the surface. It's forced to follow the surface to fill the vacuum left there," Murray said as quoted of Road & Track.

The T.50 Supercar by Gordon Murray Automotive also claimed as the most advanced aerodynamics seen on a road car. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/36A8h4x)

This sophisticated active aero system is operated in various modes. The most hardcore setting is the Vmax Mode which places the duct and fan in a low-drag setting and uses the 48-volt integrated starter-generator to increase engine output to 700 horsepower (522 kilowatts). There is also a high-downforce configuration when the driver wants to stick to the road.

The T.50 supercar packs a Cosworth-built naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V12 that produces 650 hp (485 kW) and 332 pound-feet (450 Newton-meters) of torque. The powerplant can run all the way to 12,100 rpm. The output runs through a six-speed manual to the rear wheels. A carbon-fiber monocoque and body panels keep the weight down to 2,161 pounds (980 kilograms).

The T.50 supercar models being developed by the company include the road-legal and racing-purposed models. And the road-legal supercar model will be limited to 100 units. As for the racing model, only 25 units will be produced. Similar to the McLaren F1, the T.50 will be a three-seater with a central driving position to get the maximum power weight to ratio.

Although there is no exact date regarding the production schedule, currently the company only said that the T.50 will have a full debut in May 2020. While the selling price range is estimated to reach $3.14 million (approx Rp.44.1 billion) for a road-legal model. As for the racing model, it will cost $3.19 million (approx Rp.44.8 billion).

An Estonian-made classic-style electric three-wheeled vehicle

The electric-powered vehicles are currently being developed as an alternative to the increasingly limited fossilized fuels. While consumers are still less interested in electric vehicles, various carmakers from around the world continue to innovate so that electric vehicles are increasingly glimpsed by consumers.

One of them is a three-wheeled electric car named the Nobe 100, which is produced by Nobe Cars, an Estonian company. This unique electric-powered microcar was created by Roman Muljar and was inspired by the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller, a 1950s classic German microcar, and VW Beetle.

This microcar is claimed by the maker as the most environmentally friendly car in the world. Because the Nobe 100 car is fully driven by electric power and its sleek and simple body design makes it easy to park and fit into urban life. This Nobe microcar is very different from any other three-wheeled vehicles we've seen before. This is not a motorcycle like Bombardier or a car like Uniti or Elio E1c. Despite sharing classic cues with Morgan's three-wheeled car, the Nobe 100 has a cutie 'neo-retro' design.

The Nobe electric-powered car has small dimensions give it a large turning circle and the ability to adjust to small parking spaces. It is classified as a three-wheeled motorcycle and has the same accessibility as a motorcycle. This vehicle is also semi-convertible with a removable hardtop, making it the first three-wheeled EV cabriolet.

This tiny cutie car is equipped with 2-batteries, one to drive its all three wheels and the other to power various car's supporting systems such as lights, heaters, and radios. The speed of this environmentally friendly car can reach 110 kph, and also has a suitcase-sized battery at the front of the cabin and can be removed without using any tools.

While inside of the cabin, it has a minimalist design, taking on classic styling such as analog gauges, chrome finished on the switches and door handles as well, and the wooden accents also look adorn the dashboard neatly accompanied a white-colored steering wheel that reminds us to a 1930s classic car. The Nobe's teardrop-shaped-designed microcars can accommodate 3 people in it with space for luggage behind the third passenger.

Despite the fact that it does not emit any exhaust gas, aka zero-emission, also the zero-emission car comes with a reusable part. It can also be upgraded to ensure its longevity. For exceptional handling, the car's battery can be fully charged in 2 hours, but if you are worried about running out of power while on a drive with this car, you even can carry an extra battery. No problem. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NOBE CARS | INDIEGOGO]
