Imagine a scrambler bike that didn’t make that deafening 4-stroke blap.
Behold: the Droog Moto Silent Assassin – a stealthy, angular electric scrambler based on the Brammo Empulse R with a 40kW electric motor (the ‘fuel tank’ is just for show) powering a six-speed transmission.
Behold: the 2015 Mercedes Benz G63 AMG 6×6 – a six wheel drive version of the classic G-wagon. huge in every sense, with a 5.5l, 536bhp, V8 twin-turbo engine, three independent axles, remote tire inflation/deflation system and a well-appointed leather-lined interior.
Incredibly, this mint condition example has only done 225km since delivery.

Behold: the Scania AXL – the Swedish manufacturer’s concept for an autonomous dump truck.
An actual prototype rather than a render, the AXL’s cabless chassis is driven by a biodiesel engine, using seven cameras, multiple radars, and a laser to navigate its environment.
Quarrries and gravel pits – being remote and largely free of pesky humans – might well be the first place autonomous vehicles start full time work.
Related: the Volvo Vera and the GM Surus.
Behold: the LeVen 90: a 28m luxury yacht with just 1.4 meters of displacement, specifically designed for the shallow waters of South Florida.
Topside: sun deck, main salon and ‘lanai’ top deck. Below: four ensuite staterooms, twin MTU 12V2000 engines and a low noise linear propulsion system pushing the vessel along at an impressive top speed of 26 knots.
Price on application.
Behold: the 1974 Maserati Bora 4.7 Coupe – the company’s first mid engined car. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, 554 were made between 1971 and 1978.
This choice example, which received a comprehensive two-year restoration in 2011, is currently accepting bids.
Behold: the Sinot Aqua – an ultra luxury conceptual super yacht with a nod to environmental responsibility. Powered by PEM fuel cells fed by liquid hydrogen, the only by product of propulsion is water.
Stealthy, on account of its electric drive, the ship has a 3,750 nautical mile range at a speed of 17 knots.
The impressive 112m length provides for a wide beam pavilion on the upper level, beach deck, VIP staterooms, a large pool and the usual slew of sunpads, ‘wellness zones’ and outdoor dining areas.
No, it wouldn’t fit in Bray harbour or hook up nice behind a 1998 Subaru Forester.

Behold: the 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C by Scaglietti – the car built to replace the legendary 250 series.
Unlike the road-going version GTB, the GTB/C (the ‘C’ stands for ‘Competizione’) was a lightweight steel and aluminium racer of which only 12 were made.
A piece of Ferrari racing history with just 129,000 km on the clock.
Price on request (serious buyers won’t ask).
