In a recently-unveiled redesign for Lincoln’s Navigator series, gullwing doors and side stairs dominate the graphics, making entering and exiting a luxurious-looking experience.

Shown at the New York Auto Show, this concept involves design lessons from luxury sailboats, including clean lines and sea-and-sky tones of blue and gray.

The ‘navigator concept’ features a 3.5 liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivering more than 400 horsepower that adapts to different road surfaces and changing weather conditions. Drivers can choose several modes to improve ride and handling, with each accompanied by a matching digital animation on the dashboard.

The interior features leather-wrapped seats, adjustable to various body types, and a custom wardrobe management system for travelers (or James Bond types).

Bringing the weather right to your tabletop, this incredible box simulates sunrise, sunset, clouds, rain and even thunderstorms based on real forecasts, letting you see expected conditions in a dazzling new way.

Designed by Ken Kawamoto, the Tempescope puts a world’s worth of weather right in front of you, downloading details from the internet then recreating those effects inside a clear plastic box, including sunshine, fog or even the pulsing illumination of a lightning storm (as seen in the video below).

The project is open source and interested parties are welcome to download the design schematics in order to create their own, or can wait for a crowdfunding campaign later this year to buy a unit instead. The deployment is also versatile – you can select your own city and time delay, reflecting either current conditions outside or near-future forecasts for wherever you want (letting you keep in touch with weather at home or in your favorite city).
