Behold: the 1973 Porsche 911 Targa 2.4S – from the last production year of this long nosed, narrow bumpered classic before safety regulations (in the US) forced a design change.
This particular model (which comes up for auction next month) has a custom Venezia leather and Bouclé wool interior including travel bag and driving shoes (you know you want them) by French ultra-luxury menswear designer Berluti.
Yours for around €225,000.
Extremely impressive single-purpose robots designed by Japanese high school students for RoboCon 2018.
Their function? To toss water-filled bottles onto platforms at various heights, landing them right-way up with preternatural accuracy.
A thankless, pointless task which will eventually lead them to kill all humans,.
Behold: the 1953 Jaguar XK120 roadster – the fastest car of its day, with sweeping aerodynamic styling unlike anything else on the road, powered by a 3.4l inline six engine that would remain in production until 1992. Fully restored and presented with its original black paint and red leather interior, it sold at auction this month for €103,500.
Infectiously cuddly plushies from Giant Microbe (€6 to €35 each +P&P) – each one complete with a card filled with interesting facts about the malignant microbe in question.
Aw.
*bleeds out*
Behold: the Nikola NZT – an all-electric off-roader with heavy duty shocks, Kevlar reinforced tyres and 30cm of ground clearance.
Developing 590bhp from a 125kWh battery, the NZT accelerates to 100km/h in under 4 seconds and will go 240km on a full charge. The climate controlled cabin (complete with ‘infotainment display’ and high end sound system) can be sealed with a removable hardtop.
Yours – sometime in 2021 – for about €71,000.
All manner of domestic items and appliances tightly wrapped in cross-stitched designs by Swiss-based artist Ulla Stina-Wikander: bringing symbolic functionality to a pastime traditionally regarded as (her words) kitsch and worthless.
The extraordinary coin craftsmanship of Russian artist Roman Butin.
Bespoke carvings and unique mechanisations made to order. Just so you know, the snapping teeth coin sold for $10,000 back in 2017.
The work of Brazilian tattoo artist Duda ‘Tattoo You’ Lozano: inked-on tatts like sewn-on embroidered patches.
Or you could just sew on actual embroidered patches.
Or just leave it and don’t be at yourself.
A 1/6th scale posable collectable of Jeremy Renner’s upgraded Hawkeye character from Avengers: Endgame, complete with masked head, removable hooded vest and arm guards, 12 pairs of hands, bow, katana, dagger, 10 arrows, 12 arrowheads, and four shuriken.
Yours for €202 (+P&P).
