Behold: the 1973 Maserati Bora 4.9 Coupe.

Designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro (who also designed the Boomerang and the Ghibli), the Bora was Maserati’s first mid-engined, independently suspended chassis and an icon of 1970s automotive design.

This particular champagne coloured V8 was completely restored in 1989 and can be yours for a trifling €245,500.

Originally released in 2016 to publicise the Shin Godzilla movie (now only available on the secondary market for a 500%+ markup), these Kaiju figurines of monsters with their heads hung solemnly at a press conference are a respectful nod to an important part of Japanese culture: the apology – through which balance and harmony in society are maintained.

From top: Godzilla apologizing for destructive vandalism (破壊行為), Mechagodzilla for imitation and copyright infringement (模倣行為) and King Ghidorah for aggressive invasion (侵略行為). 

That’s Hedorah on the right in the last pic.
