If you’d like to give your iPad the same cosseting your posterior receives when you slot into the sport buckets in your Continental GT then you, good chap, are in luck. Bentley’s “luxury leather partner” Ettinger, which ensures no surface of the vehicles is bereft of animal hide, is releasing a line of gadget cases to cover your iPad, iPhone, or BlackBerry — though it’s unclear exactly which model for the latter. Prices? You’re looking at £45 for either of the phone holsters or £89 for the iPad-sized model. That’s about $73 and $145, respectively, and a lot of cash for a little hide.

Though the sales of its new vehicle Maybach 57S Cruiserio Coupe in Saudi Arabia hasn’t started, the manufacturer is all set to unveil the same at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

The vehicle is designed by Fredrik Burchhardt, the same designer behind the Exelero concept. The most acclaimed features of the auto are as follows: It features a 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 603 hp (450 kW / 612 PS) and 738 lb-ft (1,000) Nm of torque.

This makes it capable to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds and offers a top speed of approximately 275 km/h (172 mph). It is expected to feed on an average fuel consumption of 16.4 L/100 km (14.3 mpg US) and CO2 emissions of 390 g/km.

However, the manufacturer has made it clear that the production is limited to 100 units. Maybach 57S Cruiserio Coupe comes with a starting price of €675,000 ($929,685).
