Behold the 6.4L V8 Rezvani Tank SUV, a 500bhp, ‘tactical’ 4×4 complete with thermal night vision, LED auxiliary floodlights and a head up display, ideal for hunting zombies in the future dystopia or irradiated wasteland of your choice, snugly ensconced in a luxurious leather interior with power-activated rear suicide doors.

Yours for €151,000+

Launched last month at the Monaco Yacht Show: the 120m Sinot Nature superyacht. – a geometric boutique hotel on water with spa deck, gym, dining room, sea-level swimming pool, two levels of floor-to-ceiling windows, luxury accommodation for eighteen guests and a spacious owner’s quarters with a climate-controlled inner garden.

Meh. Guess it’ll do while the good superyacht is being polished.

Unmoved by the current Ferrari lineup?

Behold: the Kode57 by Ken Okuyama (who designed the Ferrari Enzo) – a speedboat-like, open-topped, F1-nosed roadster based on the Ferrari 599 (with echoes of the 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa) of which (for now) only five will be built.

A short film about the Japanese village of Inakadate, whose inhabitants have been growing rice for 2,000 years.

Since 1992, in a bid to increase tourism, the farmers have been strategically planting different varieties of rice to create huge images, best seen from aloft.

The 1968 Ferrari 365 GTC Coupé – a 4.4l, V12, 365bhp sports tourer – the first to add civility to the marque in the form of beefed up suspension and four wheel disk brakes.

This immaculately restored model was the 20th made and could be yours for a mere three quarters of a million quid+.

Behold the 63m, 12 cabin Eau Electric Yacht Concept from Amsterdam-based marine designer Frank Tjepkema.

Cruise the Rivieras of the future at 25 knots, surveying all from the droplet shaped wheelhouse of a ribbed aluminium ship which, according to the designer:

captures the reminiscent qualities of the water itself. 

All right then.
