At this year’s Monaco Yacht Show we got a look at the new collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group of the new Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT. Named after it’s 30-metrE length The Italian Sea Group has successfully translated Lamborghini’s super sports car aesthetic to the sea. The interior is based off the […]
Triumph is an icon at the core of the English automobile scene and is the sole remaining all-British-owned major brand. They have made some of the most beloved motorcycles on the planet. The brand appeared in 1877 after two years of importing bicycles and started making motorcycles in 1902. By 1918, Triumph was Britain’s largest […]
I’ve noticed recently a yearning to unplug and return to more atomised technology. My nephew rocks a dumbphone and a digital camera he found in an op shop for a few dollars, swinging the full might of his uni student spending power. For those with a stable job Fuji has a much classier, versatile option […]
Oh, boy, this is fun! The Triumph Bobber 1200 is a surprising bike. It’s surprisingly good, surprisingly fast, surprisingly comfortable and surprisingly easy to ride. The original bobber was basically an unsprung bike with a slightly bouncy seat to limit bone jarring. Today’s bobbers integrate hidden suspension and a fixed seat that looks like it’s […]
Photography by Jake Hoare The R12 is the latest iteration in BMW Motorrad’s retro lineup, replacing the popular R nineT. It offers a blend of classic styling and modern technology, to satisfy both nostalgic riders and those looking for a more refined experience. With its iconic air-cooled boxer twin engine, updated chassis, and an array […]
Photography by Jake Hoare The Lotus Eletre is enormous, vast, and that there’s nothing else quite like it. It’s kind of taken the sports SUV and put it on a course of aggressive body sculpting and fine arts. A bit of history, Lotus has traditionally been known as the car that makes light cars that […]
Fast cars and race cars are everywhere, yet motorsport can seem remote – even elite to enter. Thankfully it doesn’t have to be that way. The OK Cup in New Zealand is a highly accessible ‘get started racing’ format that is a lot of fun and almost cheap. I can attest to that. The format […]
Pack your bags and fly to Queenstown. On arrival the team takes you to your vehicle. Bagged and tagged, this is the last time you lift your suitcase for the next few days. Head to Ayrburn on the outskirts of Queenstown, a stunning venue dating back to the 1800s. Not for long, just time for […]
Photos By Jake Hoare Wow. The Triumph Rocket 3, at two and a half liters, that’s right: 2500cc, is the largest capacity production motorcycle ever made. Everywhere you go, people stare at it, cross the road, and take photos because they’ve never seen anything like it. You’ve never ridden anything like it either. It has […]
If you have been busy working towards that billionaire’s superyacht but just lack the billionaire bit, Brooklyn-based Tarform has just the sleek oceangoing ticket for you. While the mega yacht stays pinned to the vision board you could at least get underway with the sort of Jet Ski that a ripped-vested Jeff Bezos would look […]
Normally I find it hard to get up at 8am, but this was not a normal day. The opportunity to ride a 2024 R 1300 GS for several hours got me excited to the point where I was awake bright and early for a glorious day and a fabulous ride. And I was one of […]
As you approach the BMW R18 it’s virtually unlike any other bike. For a start, its monumental size means that there are few other man made pieces of machinery that rival its sheer presence. Photos do not do it justice. This is truly a heritage inspired piece of sculpture that ‘out chromes the chromes’ and […]
What is it? A naked sports bike? A street bike? A roadster? It’s all of them and none of them. The BMW R 1250 R is an axe in a world of knives. From carving the corners and zipping through traffic to proving warp drive is a thing, it seems to be good at just […]
To understand the general premise of transportation, it is universally acknowledged that cars drive on land, boats sail on the sea, and planes fly in the sky. In true Lazzarini-style, the Italy-based design studio are (yet again) trying to flip that notion on its head. If their latest concept design is created, it’ll also be […]
If you want your Superyacht to come packing some serious deck action, let us recommend 37.6 metre (123.3ft) The Azimut Grande 38 Trideck. Crafted by the renowned yacht designer Alberto Mancini, the yacht’s exterior design creates quite a presence in any stretch of water. The interiors have been designed by Achille Salvagni Architetti, and the yacht […]
Few inventions have shaped our settlement of the world as we know it quite like the train. And while there are other ways to get around, there is not quite anything that replaces the romance, nostalgia and experience of a luxury train journey. And while the world has a lot of bucket list journeys to […]
Unless there is a particularly hot out of season price on nashi pears, supermarket shopping is not generally a spiritual experience. Tell that to the Dutch designers of the SuperHub though. SuperHub is a new supermarket like no other located in the district of Meerstad, in the city of Groningen, Netherlands. And while supermarket architecture […]
Aston Martin’s no rules track hypercar Valkyrie AMR Pro is a stunning example of engineering, design, genius, and all-out insanity. And now there’s a two-wheeled version. The Aston Martin and Brough Superior collaboration has once again produced a highly anticipated and impressive motorcycle with the reveal of the AMB 001 Pro track superbike. This limited […]
Over the years, Giorgio Armani has cemented himself at a kind of god-tier level within the fashion world. The Italian fashion designer, who is best known for his eponymous brand and its signature sleek, understated aesthetic was born in Piacenza, Italy in 1934, Armani began his career as a window dresser and eventually worked his […]
It’s considered one of the toughest ocean races in the world and The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is an annual event that has captivated sailors and spectators alike since its inception in 1945. Located in the heart of the Tasman Sea, this iconic race begins in Sydney Harbour and culminates in the city of […]
According to a new release from Luxury Car manufacturer Rolls-Royce, they have just brought the world its fastest all-electric aircraft. Dubbed The Spirit of Innovation, the aircraft hit 555.9km/h, over 213.04 km/h faster than the previous record. The previous record was set back in 2017 by the Siemens eAircraft powered Extra 330 LE Aerobatic aircraft. […]
Almost 75 years since the first UFO sighting, the intrigue and mystery of possible alien life has stupefied mankind. Whether you’re a believer or not, the fact of another type of living thing out there in the great unknown has kept us all on tenter-hooks. Fodder for conspiracy theorists, I guess. What isn’t fodder, however, […]
Dreamed up by Indian studio, Bhushan Powar Design, this 110 metre long superyacht has one of the most striking silhouettes we’ve ever seen. Called Zion, its key characteristic is a large “glass eye” representing a black hole, with the clean lines of the rest of the boat forming around it like the evening horizon. It’s […]
Bentley enthusiasts, start your bespoke engines! As well as being one of the world’s boujie-est car brands, with their latest wheels being driven by the world’s elite, they’re also joining the club of Aston Martin and Porsche in creating homes for their drivers. Oh yes, imagine bringing back your brand-new, gorgeously bespoke Bentayga PHEV to […]
Designed by world-renowned Spanish design and architecture company, Iddes Yacht, this supervessel is a new addition to that beautiful green energy we all know and love. Though the idea of owning a superyacht comes with the image of high-rollers strutting along the deck, practically wearing wads of $100 bills and jaunty sailor hats like reincarnated […]
With Covid lockdown’s being a constant reminder for us to stay inside, keep our distance and maintain our mental health by seeing the silver-linings, any warm-blooded person would much rather spend their days following all of the rules set out by our government, but at sea. So let’s dream for a second…with the Ghost Yachts […]
Superyachts are so 2020. What are you? Part of the 2%? If you’re part of the 1% of the 1% then you buy a yacht liner. Let me introduce you to Somnio, modestly self described as a “superyacht” by its creators and described by everyone else as a Yacht Liner. It’s billed to be the […]
Architecture-studio, Abiboo, have recently revealed their little slice of Paradise…on Mars. Set within some grand cliff on the planet’s red surface, the city—named Nüwa—has been imagined as being completely self-sustaining and could house up to 250,000 people, being built using the materials from the planet. The potential for the planet is strong, especially within this […]
In the transportation transition to electrical, you really have to feel the sorriest for motorbike designers. Unlike other vehicles who can hide their propulsion away under some fancy industrial design, motorbikes (as their name would suggest) have an intrinsic aesthetic connection to the motor. The frame, faring, suspension and all those other essential elements are […]
While some of us above ground plebs have been trying to figure out where to keep that extra pasta, flour and toilet paper we had been psychologically triggered into stocking up with, a Kyiv-based architecture studio, Sergey Makhno Architects have been working on plans for how to do the apocalypse in this very stylish bunker.
