But there’s a method to the Franken-headed madness – the cartoonishly massive roof on the new Vanyx camper van is a habitat in itself, splitting the van into separate floors for sleeping and daytime living. The new all-German camper looks to bring an unprecedented level of land yacht luxury to the Class B segment while still offering enough hard-nosed grit and self-sufficient supply to handle extended treks off road and grid. Ingenious creation or proof the overland-glamping market has finally pushed its luck too far?

Rolls-Royce Boat Tail

Rolls-Royce had one of the most memorable showings at last year’s postponed Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, where it premiered its first Boat Tail, a bespoke creation that handily tops the list of world’s most expensive new cars at a reported $28 million. How do you follow up such a monumental appearance at the next Concorso? By debuting another Boat Tail, the second in a series limited to just three cars. This model arrives as a whisky-tinged cigar, complete with walnut decks, rose gold accents and a built-in picnic area.

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Loz Blain

The Spyros Panopoulos Chaos will become, on debut, the most powerful street-legal production car in history, by a margin of more than 50%

Strap in, petrolheads. The spec sheet and bizarrely organic-looking design of this 3-D printed Greek widowmaker are almost as wild a ride as the 3,000-horsepower car itself. Spyros Panopoulos Automotive has unveiled its Chaos “Ultracar,” and if you’ve ever seen a wilder piece of functional art that can nail a quarter mile in 7.5 seconds, we’d love to hear about it.
