If Dreams Could Drive

Ah, the dreams of a young man. You’ve had some yourself—and even seen a few materialize. Swimming with dolphins. Finding your soulmate. Surpassing Ashton Kucher on Twitter. The HB Coupe is the story of a dream as well, dreamt by two siblings from the Netherlands named the Huet Brothers (HB, get it?). These two dreamers, long in love with classic cars, have created this killer cool coupe, a custom, but road-ready ride packed with a full carbon monocoque and 3.0 L inline six with 306 horses. A six-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission sends power to the rear wheels, lending the HB coupe ($TBA) a top speed of 155 and a 0-62 in just 4.3 seconds. This dream is currently still in the making (i.e. the car isn’t in production quite yet), but if you know anything about dreams (and you think you do), you can expect one in your driveway any day now.

Float Your Own Boat

Next time you close your eyes and pick a place on the globe to explore at random, you might want to bring along the Infinity Odyssey 295 Inflatable Tandem Kayak ($650). When your bush pilot drops you in the Cambodian jungle you’ll have this to keep you dry down the Mekong River. Easily maneuverable, the 9 ft. 8 in. inflatable kayak is made with a tough nylon outer shell and tri-laminated PVC tarpaulin material that resists abrasion. It features a spray visor that keeps waves from entering the cockpit and a stern storage area for supplies. The padded seats with backrests and adjustable footrests keep you comfortable for a long ride. It fits neatly into the backpack it comes with along with the hand pump, drain plug, and repair kit. The latter will come in handy if the world’s largest fresh water stingray decides to pay you a visit.

How Low Can You Go?

Just when you thought Lamborghini couldn’t surprise you anymore (it took you weeks to get over the Tonino Lamborghini Garden Tools) they hit the Geneva Auto Show with the Lamborghini Aventador J Speedster ($TBA). The unique convertible version of their Aventador can reach speeds of 186 from a 6.5-liter V12 motor. It delivers a whopping 690 HP and 509 lb ft of torque. The dimensions of the car stretch for 4890 mm in length, 2030 mm in width and 1110 mm in height, making it the lowest model ever produced by Lamborghini. The open-air roadster features a tiny windshield and miniature side windows that require the driver to suit up in full protective gear and helmet. We know you’re itching to get behind the wheel, but unfortunately this one-off has already been sold to an anonymous (read: obscenely rich) owner. Don’t feel bad; you’ll always have the garden tools. And that is one beautiful hoe.

Follow In Your Own Wake

While the Tropical Island Paradise has pretty much everything you could want on board, sadly it does not come with a sport boat. Have your assistant follow behind your floating paradise with the Sea-Doo 230 Wake Sport Boat ($upon request) to fulfill all your water sporting needs. Featuring an innovative Direct Drive Jet Propulsion System that generates a powerful stream of water to propel and steer the boat as well as a 7” touch screen that operates cruise control, Docking, ECO and Ski modes, stereo, fuel settings and chart plotter, it will be easy to rip it up out on the water. And, if you find that landing that 1080 spin over and over leaves you a little sore you can always return to the yacht for massages between sessions.

High-End Hauling

Say there’s a run on gold and you’ve got to safely transport all your gold bars across town. Your two-seater Mercedes McLaren won’t suffice, but you don’t exactly have a Chevy or Ford truck waiting in the wings. Enter the Porsche TransSport Truck ($TBA), all the luxury you want with the space a baller like you needs. It’s just a concept for now but maybe if you invested some of that gold, they’d build you a prototype.
