Lexus LF-LC

It’s All About You

You can’t really help being the center of attention at meetings, on the basketball court, or even at the Cannes Film Festival (sorry, Brad and George), but it would be a lie to say you haven’t gotten used to it. Well, Lexus has created a concept car just for you (shocking). The Lexus LF-LC Concept Vehicle (TBA), unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show, is not only thrilling to behold, it was designed to be a 100% driver-focused vehicle. This hybrid 2+2 sport coupe has an interior “greenhouse design” (aka glass roof) to enhance driver visibility, a remote touch-screen device that allows you to comfortably operate controls while driving, and multi-level meters that use both analog and LCD technologies placed directly in front of the driver who, incidentally, is surrounded by gorgeous leather, suede, brushed metal trim and wood accents. The outside is equally stunning, with bootylicious curves, a mesh, spindle grill, and tail lights inspired to look like a jet afterburner at take-off. Did we mention its next-generation hybrid power train? Do us a favor, and just let us know when Lexus drops one off in your driveway.

Faralli & Mazzanti Evantra

Personalize My Supercar

From your handkerchiefs to your financial portfolio the plans on your custom-built tree house, personalization is the ultimate form of service and luxury. And that’s exactly what’ll make the Faralli & Mazzanti’s Evantra ($TBA) the next car in your driveway. This hot ride, designed by Luza Mazzanti and Zsolt Tarmok (F&M’s head designer), will be produced in two steps. The first, called “Pro-Body” includes composite materials, but the second, or the “One-Body” is an entirely handcrafted, all aluminum body, which can be personalized by the client—i.e. YOU. Under your beautifully customized body, you’ll find a 3.5 liter flat six engine that busts out 403 hp in its naturally aspirated version, and 603 hp when coupled with a twin turbocharger. That translates into 0 to 60 in just 3.7 seconds. Speaking of speed, you’re gonna need some to get your hands on one, because they’re only making 5 per year.

Sovereign Superyacht

A Twofer You Can’t Refuse

Not since your $5 Footlong came with a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos have you seen Two-For-One deal this sweet. Behold—the Sovereign Superyacht ($132 Mill) that comes with its very own limousine. Swedish company Gray Design based the Sovereign’s silhouette on that of a limo, so it’s really only fitting that this 100m long yacht come with one. Onboard, you’ll find three decks, a swimming pool, golfing green, ten guest suites, a private cinema and helicopter pad. Quite the bargain at just $132 million, especially when you take into consideration that it’s eco-friendly, with a wind turbine and solar panels that generate enough energy for it to run itself. The real question now is whether or not it comes stocked with Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese.

1948 Tucker

1948 Tucker

The Real Greased Lightning

1948 was a pretty good year. It gave the world its first monkey astronaut, London founded its first chapter of AA, and Olivia Newton-John was born. But perhaps the crowning achievement of ‘48 was this beauty of an automobile: the 1948 Tucker ($2.65 million). Only 51 of these gorgeous cars were ever produced, as Tucker, one of the last independent automakers, succumbed to Detroit’s Big Three (and a small investigation by the SEC). Before its demise, the Tucker Sedan was way ahead of its time, with a directional third headlight (aka the “Cyclops Eye”) that could light the road around corners, doors that extended to the roof for easy entry and exit, a perimeter frame for crash protection, a removable drive train to make repairs a piece of cake, and actual set belts—a first for 1948. And, this puppy is rumored to have hit 131mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Though they never hit the road in full production, the Tucker remains a stunner today, selling at auctions for as much as $2.65 mill. If only you’d been there to bid, you and Sandra Dee could be cruising around as we speak.
