Behold: the Baxley Moto – a conceptual electric bike by Hollywood movie artist and vehicle designer Shane Baxley.
A monocoque carbon-fibre body with low-mounted handlebars, hub-centre steering and hub-less wheels make for a fairly cinematic design, in fairness.
Behold: the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato – a stunning collaboration between Aston Martin and legendary Italian coach builder Zagato.
Based on the DB4 GT with a lightweight alloy frame, the coupe had a 314bhp, 3.7 litre inline six engine capable of 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 248km/h. Only 19 were ever made and this vehicle has never been restored – passing in original condition through the hands of just four owners.
Desirable? You could say that.
Yours for €10 million.
Behold: the Aquanaut Exploration Yacht – an 18m luxury catamaran designed by Officina Armare in collaboration with U-Boat Worx and inspired, bizarrely by the Ford Bronco.
Powered by two 800-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS 1050 engines with its own miniature Nemo Submarine.
Yours for €2,530,000.
Behold: the BMW ‘Good Ghost’ – the final build in a trilogy of art deco style tributes by customiser Dirk Oehlerking.
Based on a 1980 BMW R100 RS, this one-off art-hog repurposes components amassed by Oehlerking over the years to create a ’streamliner’ profile complete with one piece suede and leather saddle and tank cover, stacked quad analog instrument display, toolkit/messkit tucked into the rear wheel covers and a BMW 2002-style kidney grill.
You can’t have it.
It’s just for looking at.
Behold: the 2003 Ferrari 360 Modena Limousine – a regular 360 Modena cut in half by Australian modder Scott Marshall, extended using a custom fabricated aluminium and carbon fibre insert (complete with gulwing doors) then re-shut. Inside: a monstrous surround sound setup, luxury bench setting, a minibar and a Las Vegas level coloured lighting system.
This unholy Frankenhorse, powered by its original rear-mounted 3.6 litre V8, can be yours for around €243,000 plus shipping.
An extraordinary persistence of vision installation by Russian art collective TUNDRA which sez of it:
Row is a modular and scalable array of screens that can form lines of various length of any desired shape. Translating raw visuals driven by generative sound, the content itself is being echoed with a slight delay which creates various moving patterns that highlight and reflect the spatial characteristics of where it is installed.
Fair enough.
‘Hell Hath No Fury’: a collection of martial delft-style ceramics by French artist Helena Hauss who describes the project as:
…an expression of the contrasting subtleties that come with femininity, as well as an attempt at vindication from a feeling of constant vulnerability that’s been forced upon us…
All righty, then.
