Give Your Hypercar the Garage It Deserves with a Custom Aston Martin Lair

You wouldn’t stuff your Rolex collection in a sock drawer or your finest Scotch in the kitchen pantry next to the Lucky Charms. So, why park your hypercar in a lowly garage? A sophisticated, well-heeled gentleman keeps his finest automotive treasures in a state-of-the-art, supervillain-worthy lair. 

Famed British automaker Aston Martin unveiled a one-of-a-kind design service at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. For the first time ever, customers will be able to work with the company’s world-class designers and a team of renowned architects to build a custom dream “garage” (we use that term loosely) for their automotive stable. The company recognizes that the world’s best cars deserve the world’s best garages. With its Automotive Galleries and Lairs project, it’s encouraging automotive enthusiasts to dream big.

Whether it’s because the projects are confidential or perhaps because they haven’t completed any to date, Aston Martin is only hinting at the possibilities with concept graphics. The theoretical garages in the portfolio boast high-end features like spiral staircases, art galleries, wine cellars, and even aquariums. Want an entire villa built around your newly minted Lotus Evija? With the right discretionary income, Aston Martin can make that happen, too. Essentially, the sky’s the limit. If you can dream it — and, more importantly, pay for it — they can build it.

Not long ago, a million-dollar home with a crisp, clean six-car garage was adequate to house a stable of high-end sports cars. We’re now living in the age of the hypercar — exclusive, bespoke automobiles that go beyond traditional “sports car” and even supercar conventions. This is the realm of one-percenter enthusiasts, car owners for whom only the best Bugattis, Aston Martins, and Koenigseggs will do. For such cars, only the best lairs will do.

Pricing is only available by request. Not surprisingly, every project in the Aston Martin Automotive Galleries and Lairs project will be completely custom and priced accordingly. If you’re shopping for a Bat Cave-esque home for your multi-million-dollar hypercar, you’re probably not that concerned with price tags anyway.

If building a seven-figure custom lair for your cars isn’t in the cards, Miami’s Collection Suites offers high-end, museum-quality luxury car “condos” starting at $700,000.

How fast do Formula 1 cars really go?

How fast do Formula 1 cars go? When you watch F1 races, it's easy to adapt visually to the speeds, and depending on subjective factors and the scale of the circuit section you see, it's common to lose all sense of how fast F1 cars can go. To answer the question fairly, it's important to qualify any answer about how fast Formula 1 cars go.

For example, the fastest speed for any F1 car anywhere anytime is 246.908 miles per hour in a 2006 Honda RA106 F1 race car, but that speed wasn't during a Grand Prix or any F1 event. Instead, the record-setting speed was recorded at the Bonneville Salt Flats, which is hardly a normal context for the question. Also, the Honda's aerodynamics, engine, and tires were modified for the Salt Flats speed test.

Bugatti’s next hypercar will feature a V16 engine
Bugatti gives a sneak preview of its next-gen hypercar
Bugatti's V16 Engine

Bugatti likes to be at the cutting edge; we saw it with the Veyron, we saw it with the Chiron, and we could be seeing it again with the V-16 hybrid powertrain the French luxury automobile manufacturer will be putting in its next creation. While you may have spotted something like this before, notably powering the W-16 Mistral and Chiron Super Sport, we can assure you haven’t.

The current engine is laid out in a W configuration, so picture two V6 engines stuck together. The motor featured in Bugatti’s next hypercar is in the V configuration. As for what else we know, information is pretty sparse beyond the fact that the new vehicle will be announced in June 2024. Bugatti has also included the words: “Incomparable in every detail, it is a pure embodiment of Bugatti’s DNA, created not just for the present, or even the future – but “Pour l’éternité.” So it’s likely they’ll want you to talk about whatever it is they come out with for a very long time.

New viral video shows Tesla’s Cybertruck’s shatterproof glass has come a long way
The Cybertruck's windows aren't just bulletproof

A key feature of the Tesla Cybertruck seemingly makes the vehicle immune to one common car crime. Thieves in San Francisco, commonly known as “blippers,” were witnessed trying and failing to smash the vehicle’s “bulletproof” armored glass. Some kind of pick appeared to be used during the 45-second-long assault on the truck’s perdurable panes.

The would-be thief in question was even videoed jumping on the Cybertruck’s roof, but even that wasn’t enough to force an opening. The whole incident, along with photos of the truck’s windows, was shared on X by user Arash Malek, who added, “Cybertruck is California-proof. Armored glass beats criminals trying their best to break in – even when jumping on the roof.”
