AUDI RS 4 AVANT + PIRELLI

PIRELLI TIRES WITH SENSORS FOR AUDI RS 4 AVANT EDITION 25 YEARS

In addition to the P Zero Corsa that comes as original equipment, customers will receive a kit consisting of P Zero Trofeo RS tires linked to the Pirelli Track Adrenaline system.

Track Adrenaline acts as a ‘virtual engineer’ for optimal tire management during track days, made up of tires with sensors connected to an app.

Pirelli has been standard equipment on the Audi RS 4 since the first model was launched,
25 years ago.

Pirelli is Audi Sport’s exclusive tire partner for the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years. The anniversary edition of the iconic sports estate car has two tire options: Pirelli P Zero Corsa as original equipment, as well as a specific track kit consisting of Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires equipped with Cyber technology and combined with Pirelli’s Track Adrenaline system, both in 275/30R20 size.

The P Zero Corsa is a high-performance tire suitable for sports driving, which draws on the technologies developed by Pirelli for racing. It also provides the ideal equipment for driving the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years on the road, thanks to its high levels of traction, comfort and control in the wet as well.

Stability, stress resistance, grip and consistency on track are the characteristics of the new P Zero Trofeo RS, the street-legal semi-slick tire designed by Pirelli to achieve maximum performance. The custom-made P Zero Trofeo RS tires for the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years are equipped with Pirelli Cyber sensors that detect tire status and driving conditions, transmitting them to the driver through an app that is downloadable on any smartphone. These elements, which together with a high-precision GPS module make up the Track Adrenaline system, act as a ‘virtual engineer’ during track sessions. With the digital manometer, drivers can select the desired set-up before moving off. Then, during the session, the information recorded by sensors as well as telemetry detected by the control unit and data from the GPS module is used to record lap times and the ideal racing line. After the session, drivers can analyze the recorded data via the app and so improve their technique.

If accompanied by a passenger, drivers can also activate the ‘live view’ function, which – just like team radio in Formula 1 – gives immediate and brief messages to help the driver: suggesting, for example, to warm up the tires or come into the pits.

These new tires and the Track Adrenaline kit for the Audi RS 4 Avant edition 25 years mark a new chapter in the collaboration between Pirelli and Audi for the RS range. Among the many models that have benefitted from this joint development work is the very first Audi RS 4 launched 25 years ago, which was originally equipped with tires from the P Zero family. Not to mention the RS 4 competition, for which Pirelli is the exclusive original equipment supplier, or the RS Q8 and RS 3, both of which set Nürburgring track records in 2019, 2021 respectively. Today, the Pirelli range for Audi RS takes in 36 homologations, including summer, winter, and track-specific tires.

JEEP WAGONEER S

First-ever, All-electric Jeep

Held at the historic Altman Building in NYC, 360 MAGAZINE attended the global launch for the Jeep Wagoneer S alongside 200+ journalists. It’s the labels’ first full BEV, marking a historical achievement. Stellantis has a chance to prove to investors that their culturally iconic brand will withstand the test of time despite having a stock price of $22 and multiple engineering flaws and factory recalls. In other words, “They need to pull a Cowboy Carter,” asserts Vaughn Lowery, President of 360®.

Ralph Victor Gilles is the Chief Design Officer of Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler). Shortly after joining Chrysler in 1992, this artisanal whiz received a ton of accolades for further reimagining the dilapidated marquee. Some of his wins: 2002 Jeep Liberty, 2003 Dodge Viper, 2005 Chrysler 300, 2013 SRT Dodge Viper, Dodge ESX2 and Jeep Jeepster concepts. Gilles is a graduate of Vanier College and attended the College for Creative Studies in Detroit (2002) with an MBA from MSU. He was born and bred in NYC to Haitian immigrants. He’s the the auto world’s Virgil Abloh and “Let’s pray he can help Make the Auto (industry) Great Again,” Lowery adds. Regrettably, the Big Three are encountering a decrease in sales due to ill-advised inventory and overstocking. It’s a comparison that we have all too often heard since Kendrick Lamar’s Drake dis.

The Wagoneer S will be priced in between the combustion engine models – Grand Wagoneer + Compass – starting at around $71,000. Its powerplant manufactures 600-hp, delivering 617 lb-ft of torque. It’s a Tesla killer, reaching 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. The silhouette is reminiscent of a great white with 0.294 drag coefficient. A far cry from the sea of sameness. According to Gilles, the majority of EVs are shaped like jellybeans. The drive range is approximately 300+ miles per charge. Its sibling, the Trailhawk, will be on the horizon soon. With signature badging, aluminum interior accents, 64 interchangeable cabin colors, 35-inch integrated dashboard display, 30.6 cubic feet trunk, this is what car enthusiasts longed for.

To further sweeten the pot, McIntosh, not Macintosh, self-proclaimed House of Sound (their DNA includes Sonus Faber) has curated a ‘sound stage’ inside the cabin. Well-equipped with 19 speakers, a subwoofer, and 1200 watts, this will attract the attention of the generation alpha. Who doesn’t want to listen to an immersive concert experience while roadtripping to Vegas from LA? Let’s be truthful. The only person who will resonate with TikTok is Gilles. In fact, he boasts that they selected a team of Gen Z and Millenials to help shape their blueprint.

Gilles’ eclectic art background and eccentric ideals are what Jeep needs to resuscitate its automotive soul. GM needs to take a page from their playbook because their out-of-touchness is unbearable.

“If you’re in the marketing and advertisement department, continue to support diverse platforms and invest in our youth. INVEST in US so that our innovative QR-CODED hard copies (avail on bn.com + amazon.com) and 360 MAG podcasts will transform into a VR experience where users can purchase our NFTs while using EFTs to help activate branded capsules,” explains Lowery, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary.

The pre-orders will be taken today, so we won’t know until then.

We want to express our gratitude to the Renaissance Chelsea, a Marriott hotel, in New York for hosting us. With a multitude of amenities, it is conveniently located in the midtown area. This stylish yet luxurious oasis has a 24-hour gym, on-site eateries, and a bar on campus. If you’re able to gain access to the residential side, the property offers stunning rooftop views, not to mention. One of the few emerging boutique hotels with a unified designer ambiance.

Balancing Image Quality

+ Size in Fashion Editorials

Hey there! When you’re flipping through a fashion editorial, what grabs your attention? Is it the vivid colors, the ultra-clear detail, or how the image practically jumps off the page? Both image quality and size are super important in the fashion world. They ensure every stitch and shade pops, helping the viewer get lost in the pages. Plus, bigger images tend to pull us right into the scene. But it’s not all smooth sailing—finding the right balance between excellent visuals and practical digital needs like load times is tricky.

Let’s dive into what makes this balancing act so challenging and how the pros handle it.

The Balancing Act: Image Quality vs. Size

Crafting the perfect fashion editorial is about striking a balance. Stunning, high-res images are great but can be massive data hogs, slowing down website speeds and frustrating viewers. Conversely, shrinking images for faster loading can make them lose their magic, a no-no in fashion photography. Editors and photographers need to be tech-savvy and creative to ensure their work is beautiful and accessible.

Zooming In: What Makes an Image Top Quality?

Let’s break down what we mean by ‘image quality.’ It’s all about how clear and detailed your photo appears. This includes:

Resolution: High resolution means more pixels, which means sharper details. It is perfect for showing off the intricate textures of fashion items.
Color Accuracy: Colors need to pop and be true to life to accurately reflect the designer’s vision.
Sharpness: This is about how crisp the edges and fine details appear, which is crucial for highlighting the quality of fabrics and craftsmanship.

High-quality images aren’t just pretty; they do the heavy lifting in marketing, enhancing brand image and making viewers want to reach out and touch the clothes.

Big Picture: How Size Impacts Experience

Image size isn’t just about dimensions; it’s about the file size, too. Larger images can significantly impact by providing more detail, but they also take up more space and slow down web pages. In today’s fast-click digital world, visitors might bounce, no matter how stunning the visuals are, if a site takes too long to load.

Tech Tips: Smart Choices for File Formats and Compression

Choosing the correct file format is crucial:

JPEG: Great for detailed photos with a balance of quality and size.
PNG: Ideal for images needing transparency.
TIFF: Best for no-data-loss scenarios, especially in print.

And when it comes to keeping file sizes in check, compression is vital. Lossy compression (like in JPEGs) reduces file size by slightly lowering image quality—okay in many cases. Lossless compression keeps everything intact, perfect when quality can’t be compromised. Additionally, using an image size reducer can help you fine-tune your images without sacrificing quality.

Editing Magic: Tools of the Trade

Software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom is gold for photographers. They let you tweak image size, quality, and many other aspects without losing the photo’s essence. They’re essential for making sure images are both eye-catching and web-friendly.

Shooting Stars: Best Practices for Capturing Images

Rapper the real Eve covers 360 MAGAZINE.

To snag those high-quality images:

Use top-notch cameras and lenses for the best resolution and detail.
Shoot in raw format to capture as much detail as possible for flexible editing.
Pay attention to lighting and exposure to ensure every detail is visible and vibrant.

Post-Processing Polish

After the shoot, it’s all about refining. Enhance clarity, tweak colors, and sharpen images to make every detail stand out. Tools like Photoshop and Lightroom can help enhance photos while keeping them looking natural and not overdone.

Wrapping It Up

Getting image quality and size right is crucial for making a splash in fashion editorials. The right tech choices and editing tools are vital to creating stunning and user-friendly images. We can only expect these tools to improve as technology advances, making our visual stories even more compelling.

So, the next time you look at a fashion spread, remember the careful choices and tech wizardry that went into making those images perfect. It’s all about that balance!

OAKLEY MUZM SUB ZERO N

MAX FEARLIGHT’S 90S SUB ZERO DEFROSTED AND REIMAGINED

A boundary-breaking eyewear reinvented, Oakley® 2024 MUZM Sub Zero N elevates pure physics to an art form. As a relic from the 90s, the Sub Zero silhouette debuted in the original 1992 Max Fearlight commercial with the film becoming a visual manifesto that established the brand’s mood and tone for over 30 years.

Today, in the new brand film featuring Team Oakley athlete Lucas Braathen, Max Fearlight’s original sunglasses are defrosted and reimagined with an evolution into Sub Zero N – bringing together the past and future.

From the impossible task of creating eyewear that would be weightless, came a single continuous contour lens design with an overall weight of less than 20 grams. Carefully curated with the rare “N” lens-cut, a unique paint treatment, and revamped branding, the MUZM Matte Grey Smoke Sub Zero pays homage to Max Fearlight’s creative legacy. Featuring the same white Oakley branding Max wore before exiting the bunker, it is designed to closely cover your face. The Plutonite® lens material now comes with the bold two-tone Prizm™ Snow Torch Iridium® lens technology for an upgraded vision. Additional colorways include Burn Brush with Tungsten lenses and Carbon Fiber with Black lenses. Each with a unique paint treatment and Prizm Matte lenses for an upgraded vision experience. Every style is complete with a microbag and custom Oakley Muzm™ box sleeve.

The MUZM collection celebrates the brand’s disruptive legacy and the bold designs that have shaped Oakley’s past and continue to define its future. Each MUZM piece is carefully selected from the brand’s archive and enhanced with the latest Oakley innovations, connecting generations to the brand’s cultural heritage. This latest iteration joins the brand’s icons of the past, including Eye Jacket, Racing Jacket, Mars X-Metal Leather, and more, which have been reborn with the MUZM series.

The 2024 MUZM Sub Zero N will be available worldwide on May 30, in stores and online at Oakley.com.

NFL Stars’ Cars

The NFL is the top American football league. The best teams, the most experienced coaches and star players compete in it, and the final match annually attracts more than 100 million viewers. The enormous popularity of the NFL brings significant financial benefits to all its participants. Thanks to this, teams can attract the best players of our time, offering them multi-million dollar contracts. Most NFL stars spend part of their salary on cars. Some of them have entire collections of supercars and retro vehicles, which they use for their intended purpose or display as expensive exhibits. Let’s look at the garages of the best players together and see which models they prefer.

Tom Brady

It’s hard to find a better player in NFL history than Tom Brady. He played as a quarterback for many years and won many personal and team awards during this time. In particular, he won the Super Bowl 7 times and was recognized as its MVP 5 times. Such achievements forever cemented Tom Brady’s status as a star. Today, the NFL legend owns a signature Aston Martin Vanquish. It was produced in only 12 copies and was sold at an unrealistically high price. This model is equipped with a V12 engine, which has a volume of 6 liters and produces 595 hp. The maximum speed is 321 km/h. Among the main advantages of this two-door coupe are a high level of reliability, good handling, and compliance with modern safety standards.

Russell Wilson

One of the fan favorites is quarterback Russell Wilson. This player played for the Seattle Seahawks for nine seasons before moving to the Denver Broncos. Now he plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers and shows promising results. During his career, Wilson won a Super Bowl and received numerous personal awards. For such achievements, the NFL star received a multi-million dollar contract and purchased a Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. This car is a symbol of luxury. It has an attractive appearance and unique interior design. In addition, the model is equipped with a powerful engine and can reach a speed of 220 km/h. Of course, the G 63 AMG is ideal for off-road driving. It guarantees its owner a pleasant driving experience and complete safety. This car is expensive, so only rich people like Russell Wilson can buy it new. This model can be purchased at a lower price only at car auctions OKC and other states.

Aaron Donald

Defensive tackle Aaron Donald is one of the NFL’s greatest players. He was recognized as the best in his role three times and received many other status awards. The pinnacle of Donald’s career was the 2022 Super Bowl, which he won with his team, the Los Angeles Rams. In the garage of the legendary player, there is not the most popular but stunning supercar, the Karma Revero GT. It is a premium hybrid sedan that can be purchased for more than $150,000. This car accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and, in this parameter, can compete with the best sports cars of our time. Its top speed is 201 km/h, which is also a good indicator.

Trent Williams

One NFL veteran, Trent Williams, is one of the league’s best players. He plays in an offensive tackle position and demonstrates outstanding consistency. If not for his injury history, his chances of becoming the best player in NFL history would have been high. The leading car in the garage of the American football star is a white Range Rover. This SUV isn’t the most expensive, but it looks even better than many of its competitors. It offers the highest comfort level and guarantees easy operation on any surface. The Range Rover initially seems unwieldy. However, everyone who gets behind the wheel claims the opposite. Also, the owners of this car praise it for its high top speed and excellent safety performance.

Patrick Mahomes II

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is among the best of the young generation. In his relatively short career, he has already won two Super Bowls and been named MVP all season. Thanks to such achievements, Patrick Mahomes II was able to extend his contract with the team for a record $450 million, which he will receive over ten years. Patrick allocated part of this amount for the purchase of a Lamborghini Urus. This crossover was the first in the Italian manufacturer’s lineup and immediately turned out to be as cool as possible. It has a powerful V8 engine capable of producing 650 hp and an 8-speed gearbox that automatically changes gears and helps make driving smoother. This model reaches 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and, on well-prepared surfaces, accelerates to 305 km/h.

Myles Garrett

Voted the league’s top defensive player in 2023, Myles Garrett earned a multi-million dollar contract with his excellent play. He plays for the Cleveland Browns, where he began his career in the NFL. In addition to American football, Garrett excels in athletics. He achieved good results in several throwing disciplines in the Texas state competition. Myles Garrett has a variety of cars in his garage, but the crown jewel of his collection is the McLaren 765LT. This supercar costs almost 400 thousand dollars and is one of the most expensive in the world. It is equipped with a powerful V8 engine, which makes it possible to accelerate to 100 km/h in a record 2.8 seconds. Top speed is also impressive. It is 330 km/h, challenging even for a professional racer.

Brock Osweiler

American Brock Osweiler, who played the quarterback role, became one of the best players in his position. Throughout his career, he managed to change five teams and only with the Denver Broncos could he win the Super Bowl. After signing a multi-million dollar contract with the Houston Texans, Osweiler immediately purchased a Bugatti Veyron. This car is costly but has excellent speed characteristics and a stylish appearance. The main design element of this car is the proprietary W16 engine with a power of 1001 hp. Thanks to its capabilities, the car accelerates to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and can reach a speed of 408 km/h. At the same time, it always remains well-controlled and reliably protects its owner from various troubles. This is proven by the numerous positive reviews of the Bugatti Veyron and its high safety rating.

When it comes to American football, the first thing that comes to mind is the NFL competition. The best league in the world has star players with multi-million dollar contracts and can spend vast amounts of money on cars. In the best collections, you can find modern and rare models and exclusive supercars made to order. They all help NFL stars emphasize their high status and remind everyone of who they are.
