FHM USの November 2021 の目次

I recently linked my in-car audio system to Spotify. How rock n’ roll am I? I often create my own montage of hits whilst thumping the steering wheel and singing aloud, or just humming when I don’t know the words. I’ll even fess up to getting a few lyrics totally wrong, although to be fair I have never plumbed the depths of those tone-deaf music lovers who, according to research conducted by New Musical Express in 2016, we’re convinced that a certain Dire Straits classic contained the line, “Money for nothin’ and chips for free.” Of course, the correct line is, “Money for nothin’ and your chicks for free.” I would concede that I am trapped in a melody time warp as my music tastes gravitate towards the ’80s, and…

Nowadays you can find Quattro in just about any Audi, as long as you search high enough up the model’s range. And when there’s no Quattro option, there’s always a front-wheel-drive alternative. The brand from Ingolstadt just doesn’t subscribe to rear-wheel-drive like its two German rivals BMW and Mercedes. Well, that’s only true 99 percent of the time because on special occasions Audi does delete the front driveshafts from the Audi R8 to produce a rear-wheel-drive version of their ultimate supercar. If you went over to Lamborghini you would find something very similar has been taking place with the Huracan which has spawned several rear-wheel-drive offspring such as the creatively-named Huracan RWD and the Huracan STO which was detailed extensively in last month’s issue. It’s all been done to deliver…

Come with me on a journey connecting the solar system with the ground beneath your feet. No, go even deeper than that to the very core. The DNA that makes you you; where the past, present, and future collide in a triumphant spectacle of the molecular and the mega; where life, death and the very essence of creation occupy a magical auditorium of cathedral elegance; where the mysteries of nature are forensically explored, documented, and revered with skill, passion, and love; where the disparate strands of the earth elements, wildlife, minerals and flora, and the matter between and around meet in an explosion of vivid wonder and enchantment. The epicentre of this pure brilliant energy? The Natural History Museum, London. I had been invited to this most unique place by…

There is no bigger dream for surfers than chasing swells across the globe. Monitoring charts, winds, storm patterns and preparing equipment to leave at a moment’s notice, for the all-important ‘score’ – a thrill unlike any other. Well, enter the life of Nic Von Rupp, or as he’s affectionately known, Von Froth. Hailing from Portugal, Nic has long left his mark over the past years on the global big wave scene with his hard-charging and innovative approach to getting the best and biggest barrels (see also, tubes) at the world’s scariest waves. Nic’s been documenting this in true 21st-century fashion via his Vlog, “Von Froth” “Von Froth is my Youtube series that has been going for a year and a half or so. Real-life traveling and the hard work it…

Mach 1, that name sounds familiar We’re not talking the speed of sound here, but the late 60s was a golden period for car names echoing anything that was pop culture at the time. Major milestones like supersonic travel epitomized everything cool about engineering and braver and naturally, Ford wanted to latch onto that movement, especially at a time when the Mustang was struggling to paint its performance image. If you’re lucky enough to find one, you’ll be able to identify the Mach 1 by the unique ‘shaker hood,’ new grille, signature Mach 1 decals and 7.0-liter V8 that unsurprisingly was set up and geared for quarter-mile times. What’s the connection to the new one? Fifty-two years have passed and in that time the lineage has worn thin with really…

The tablet craze from 10 years ago might have subsided, and with the boom in smartphone technology and smartphone sizes has rendered the need for a tablet nearly obsolete. However, companies are still pumping out amazing tablets which offer various unique functions and a great alternative to a clunky laptop. With that said here is a list of the best tablets you can buy right now in 2021. iPad Pro 12.9 Arguably the best tablet available right now, the iPad Pro 12.9 is an absolute powerhouse. Featuring the M1 chipset found in Apple’s high-end Macs, this is the closest a tablet has ever gotten to matching a desktop in performance. The screen is also top of the range, offering a Mini LED screen with 1,600-nit peak brightness, a 120Hz refresh…

Sabrina! Happy to have you on the cover of FHM! Tell us what are some of the things you did to prepare for this shoot? Hi! Thank you for having me on the cover. It’s such an honor too. Shoot preparations are strategic and very similar to when I was a figure competitor on stage. Every year I learn more and more about my body, the changes that it goes through, and loving even the imperfections too. I have clean eating habits all year round, and preparations start at least two months prior to the shoot date. I am also experienced from the many years of being in the industry and have a creative mind too. Let’s just say that I have a vision regarding wardrobe and set ideas, and…

At a stage when SUVs are becoming sleeker, sharper and toning down off-road prowess to favor insane acceleration speeds, the Lexus LX sticks out like a sore, shiny thumb. Here the emphasis isn’t so much on stopwatch times, but more about delivering excessive presence and opulence, and it’s extremely hard to tear one’s eyes away from 2021’s biggest and flashiest grille. From a mechanical blueprint, the Lexus LX has swallowed the recently-launched Toyota Land Cruiser – quite the achievement because that car isn’t a subtle sight. The two cars were developed in close collaboration with the challenge to differentiate the end-user experience as widely as possible. These fresh batch of images manage to convince us that these two cars hold a vastly different appeal and the badge engineering is suitably…
