Porsche Panamera, The Most ‘Elegant’ in Mexico

Elegance, sportiness and exclusivity. This can be summed up as the new Porsche Panamera, which was one of the great protagonists of the thirty-first edition of the Great International Competition of Elegance, which took place during the weekend in Huixquilucan (State of Mexico).

Along with more than 400 vintage cars with at least 40 years of life, the new Panamera, a model of the 919 E-Hybrid that competes in the World Championship of Resistance (WEC) and two other very special cars: the 911 Exclusive Edition and a 911 Carrera S ‘One of a Kind’, a unique version in the world with the colors of the Mexican flag that commemorates the first 15 years of existence of the Porsche subsidiary of Mexico.

The manager took the opportunity to highlight the good performance that the brand lives in our country. “Between January and February we sold 225 vehicles, which means a growth of 10.8 percent compared to the same period last year,” Casal said.

With its sporty silhouette highlighted by the dynamic layout of the roof lines and new sides, the new Panamera combines better than ever two apparently contradictory features: the performance of a true sports car and the comfort of a luxury limousine. To this end, several points of this Gran Turismo were retouched and adjusted. The second generation of the Panamera is destined to become an icon in the luxury segment. With this transformation Porsche has systematically improved the Panamera concept, to get a four-door car redesigned and evolved to the last detail.

The dynamic layout of roof lines and new sides of the new model accent more than ever the silhouette of a sports car. At the rear, the roof contour becomes the charismatic Porsche flyline.

For its part, the 911 Exclusive Edition features a Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), sports exhaust system, Rin 20 “RS Spyder Design Wheel, rear axle addressable, Light Design package, an exclusive color to sample, Sport Chrono Package , Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), Alcantara seat inlays, carbon fiber door trim, illuminated, tinted rear optics, Aluminum Look Fuel tank cap, Interior fiber package Carbon wheels, sport steering wheel GT, carbon mats with custom leather trim, “Porsche” logo, “911” and enamelled key, as well as the key case in leather.

And to continue with the celebration of the 15 years of Porsche Mexico was exhibited the 911 Carrera S ‘One of a Kind’, a unique version in the world based on the 911 Carrera S model with a 3.0-liter engine and 420 hp. In addition to the special elements produced for this commemorative unit, a number of options have also been included focused on sportsmanship and personalization, through Porsche Exclusive.

Georgia O’Keeffe

Pioneer of 20th Century Art | American Icon | Trailblazer

Georgia O’Keeffe is renowned internationally for her bold innovative art. Her distinctive flowers, dramatic cityscapes, glowing landscapes, and images of animal bones against the stark desert sky are her pivotal contribution to American Modernist expression.

Georgia O'Keefe Art

Born in Wisconsin in 1887, she studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. Throughout her artistic journey she sought to find a personal visual language in which to express her feelings and ideas. In 1915 she began a series of abstract charcoal drawings that represented a radical break with tradition and made O’Keeffe one of the first American artists to practice pure abstraction.

Georgia O'Keefe Art

Alfred Stieglitz, art dealer and eminent photographer, was the first to exhibit her work the following year. He would eventually become her husband. By the mid-1920s O’Keeffe was recognized as one of America’s most important and successful artists distinguished by her paintings of New York skyscrapers; quintessential images of the American modernist movement as well as her enlarged flowers.

Georgia O'Keefe Art

O’Keeffe passed on in 1986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her ashes were scattered at Cerro Pedernal, a landscape featured in several of her paintings. Her works can be found on exhibit at museums around the world. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico is dedicated to preserving her art and legacy and offers tours of her home and studio which is a national historic landmark.

“To create one’s world in any of the arts takes courage.” – Georgia O’Keeffe

All Eyes on Emma Stone

The World’s Most Captivating Young Star

Emma Stone has quickly become one of the most in-demand stars in Hollywood – and for good reason. The young actress has already demonstrated remarkable versatility throughout her career, which involved taking on roles in off-the-wall comedies like Superbad (2007), co-starring in massive comic book inspired blockbusters such as The Amazing Spider Man (2012) and mastering inspiring leading parts in dramas like The Help (2010). Whatever the genre, it’s obvious Stone can master it.

Adding to her impressive resume of box office hits, Stone has received numerous accolades for her most recent work, which includes her first Academy Award for her performance as Mia, in La La Land. In addition to an Oscar win, she was presented a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival. La La Land also happened to be the year’s top-grossing Oscar movie with $340.5 million worldwide.

At 28, there is no doubt this marks the beginning of a distinguished career for the young actress. From quirky rom-com starlet to Hollywood’s leading lady, we can’t wait to see what Emma Stone does next.

“I still have a lot of growing and learning and work to do. And this [Oscar] is a really beautiful symbol to continue on that journey.” – Emma Stone
