If spending a week on a luxury yacht isn’t amusing enough for you, the multi-award-winning Exuma expedition ship comes with an amphibious car, a jet ski, and other thrilling water toys to play with.

Built for the world traveler who isn’t content sunbathing on the stern all day, Exuma’s additional water toys include a legit hovercraft originally designed for patrol and search and rescue teams, an underwater scooter by Seabob, a Seadoo RXT215 Waverunner jet ski, and a Lveco amphibious vehicle that you can take for a spin on sea and land.

And those are just the biggest toys. Toss two mountain bikes into the durable Jeep-like water car (Lveco is an Italian manufacturer who mainly produces special vehicles for firefighting and the military) and ride on a nearby island, or stay in the waves and water-ski, paddle board, windsurf, scuba dive, snorkel, or wakeboard. There are some basic inflatable water toys, too.

At first view, it’s impossible to spot any of these adventure craft since they’re stored in electronic side hatches and below-deck hideaways. Apart from gadgets and gizmos, the superyacht is packed with luxury amenities, including a jacuzzi and a gym (we gotta keep that beach body shape on the high-seas).

Custom-built and made to fit nine guests and nine crew members, the airy guest cabins consist of two master suites, two “VIP” rooms, and one twin. The yacht’s warm and woodsy interior design was done by Perini Navi and the clean, slick silver and wood exterior styling is by Vitruvius. Overall, the interior of the Exuma is comfortable and clean, but it’s a good thing the look isn’t too opulent and overdone because this is not a yacht for the homebody. (Waterbody? Seabody?) Though there’s still Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and all that good stuff, obviously.

Even Exuma’s bold aluminum hull and superstructure beg to part waves. The yacht cruises at 14 knots (16 mph), a comfortable speed designed for a minimum environmental footprint, the rental listing on Yacht Charter Fleet notes. Top speed caps off at 17 knots (19.5mph). Most of the water toys will go faster than that.

All this will “only” cost you $212,000 per week.

The Adastra Trimaran Is a Luxury Adventure Yacht Unlike Any Other

adastra trimaran luxury adventure yacht 3

Even for millionaire playboys, it’s hard to stand out in a crowd. In the world’s most exclusive marinas — think Monaco and Miami Beach — it’s no longer enough to sail in on a massive yacht. These days, it’s more about panache. And few luxury boats boast the supervillain-esque swagger of the M/Y Adastra. The best part: It’s for sale.

Manned Flying Car Races Are Coming in 2022

airspeeder

It’s been more than a century since the first mass-produced cars rolled off the assembly line. Somehow, many of us still haven’t mastered driving in two dimensions. Now, even before flying cars have gone into mass production — before most of us have ever experienced driving in three dimensions — one company has announced manned flying car races as early as next year. What could possibly go wrong?

Airspeeder is looking to be the first premier global flying car racing league. If it sounds like another Elon Musk-ish technological pipe dream that will never be realized, the company’s concept racers are already nearly complete. At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Airspeeder debuted unmanned models touting some impressive numbers. They’ll be available in quadcopter and coaxial octocopter versions, each measuring 11.5 feet wide by 13 feet long. Ultra-lightweight body panels promise to keep the overall weight down to around 500 pounds without the pilot. With a single, relatively small pilot in the cockpit, the swappable 500-watt battery (equivalent to 80 wall sockets) should be capable of more than 120 miles per hour and up to 15 minutes of flying time.

50 years ago, the Audi 50 launch set the mold for decades of small cars

The Volkswagen Golf continues a legacy from another car company

A yellow Audi 50 pared on the side of a roadway with a large red concrete building in the background.

Timing might not be everything, but it worked for the Volkswagen Group in the 1970s. When the first oil crisis hit in 1973, Audi, a member of the VW Group, was about to begin production of the Audi 50, a small car that emphasized fuel economy. Introduced fifty years ago, the 1974 Audi 50's small hatchback design lives on today in the 2024 Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R.
Why the Audi 50 mattered

As the image of youthful exuberance in the Audi 50 approaching the Brandenburg Gate shows in the advertisement above, Audi targeted the image of free-spirited independence and good times for the Audi 50's compact body style. Its relatively low fuel consumption and purchase price appealed to first-time buyers and anyone looking for a car that didn't suck down liters or gallons of gasoline. Audi never sold the Audi 50 in the U.S., but another car from the Volkswagen Group found a ready market in America.
