DB9

Some days I feel like I must have gone to sleep and woken in a parallel universe - perhaps the popular TV series, Fringe, is a documentary on life - a fictional metaphor, rather than the science fantasy we first thought?

We live in an age where Aston Martin make a cutesy city car, Lotus focus more on fashion than engineering and Porsche plan a top-of-the-range electric powered supercar. If we'd painted this vision of the future as recently as 5 years ago, you'd have laughed hysterically and questioned our sanity and yet here we are at the end of 2010 describing exactly such a reality.
