Autódromo Internacional do Algarve,
the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team gave
Mark Webber the opportunity to conduct
the initial tests. From 1st Jan 2014, Mark
Webber officially joins the Porsche
factory team as a works driver. To work
towards making further improvements
of the entire hybrid technology on
their production cars, Porsche will be
constantly finding new approaches in
the development, implementation and
application of leading edge efficiency
technologies.
To create the all-new LMP1 race car, which
has a highly efficient, high-performance
hybrid drive, Porsche’s engineers
developed a hybrid system consisting of
a four-cylinder petrol engine with direct
injection and two energy recuperation
systems. The recovered energy is stored
in a battery until retrieved by the driver.

Where Art Meets Architecture
Pushing the boundaries of styling, design,
formation, and structure, Museum Homes
brings interior designing to greater
heights where its distinctiveness lies in its
out-of-the-box and one-of-a-kind ideas.
Encompassing the world of Pop Art, the
main themes are based on the ideas
that flourished during the 1950s-1970s:
celebrity, mass production, social issues,
media, and technology. To complement
its theme, Museum Homes have brought
in Andre Tan, a known pop art artist to
incorporate a twist into contemporary
architecture. A talented pop artist, Andre
Tan has been transforming any form of
structure from art pieces into pop art
where they eventually find residence into
posh homes and condominiums. With
an edgy and individualistic approach,
Museum Homes sets itself apart from
the rest with its concept of Art and
Architecture. Collaborating with notable
names like Bultlerís Pantry, A.Muse, Chalk
and Gaggenau, clients get to enjoy
different styles of interior designing with
a different mix of art and interior.
