Legend: Mike Burrows - Design Maverick

Bike designer, Mike Burrows, has spent more than 40 years driving forward the evolution of bike design. From his pioneering carbon monocoque frame design in the early 80s, which paved the way for the Lotus 108, to his work on the Giant TCR with its revolutionary sloping top tube, his innovations have changed the face of the modern road bike. Some of his bikes are as famous as the athletes who rode them, and some were banned because they didn’t look like bikes at all. This controversial maverick is one of most influential bike designers of the past half century.

APEX: The Story of the Hypercar

Rocket science meets the auto industry as "APEX" follows a thread that starts in the design studios and R&D labs where these "fighter jets of the street" are created, and leads to a perilous racetrack in Germany where drivers can reach new heights of speed and performance -- if they dare. Equal parts human drama and speed, "APEX" follows Swedish entrepreneur Christian von Koenigsegg, a lifelong sports car enthusiast on a personal quest to build a "mega" car whose golden ratio defies all expectations for a hypercar's velocity and power, while competing against the biggest names in motorsports for space on the world stage. With insights from top engineers and designers, "APEX" pulls back the curtain on the top-secret development facilities at Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren and Pagani, where awe-inspiring hypercars are imagined and built, and puts you inches from the action, as top drivers shake down the latest hypercars, flat-out on some of the world's greatest racetracks.
