    Richard Mille Made A $1.4 Million Cycling Watch Too Expensive To Race In The Tour De France
    Richard Mille has made a watch that looks like it belongs on a Tour de France bike. The catch is that it probably should not go anywhere near an actual Tour de France stage.
    The new RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago is Richard Mille's latest collaboration, built alongside legendary Italian bicycle maker Colnago and fronted by four-time Tour champion Tadej Pogačar.
    On paper, it is a cycling watch. In practice, it is an 800,000 Swiss franc (~$1.44 million AUD) collector's object, limited to 50 pie

    Kids Scratched A $764,000 Ferrari And The Parents Offered $1000
    There are bad days to own a Ferrari. Then there is coming home from a business trip to find out your $764,000 AUD supercar has been used as a playground.
    That is what happened to a Ferrari 488 GTB owner in Kunming, China, after four young boys decided the parked red supercar outside looked like something worth climbing.
    Surveillance footage shows the children approaching the car with bamboo poles before getting onto the bodywork, sitting on the roof and using sections of the Ferrari as a slide.
  • Cupra Cut The Tavascan’s Entry Price Without Killing Its Style

    Cupra Cut The Tavascan’s Entry Price Without Killing Its Style
    Cheap electric cars often have a problem. They look cheap.
    You can usually spot the base model from across a car park. Smaller wheels, sadder trim, fewer features and the quiet sense that someone ticked the sensible box and moved on. The entry version tends to exist mainly so the brand can advertise a lower starting price, not because anyone particularly wants to drive it.
    Cupra is trying to avoid that trap with the updated Tavascan. The brand has added a new entry-level Tavascan V to its Austr

    Phillips’ $340 Million Watch Season Shows Collectors Want More Than Rolex
    The watch auction world is not short on hype at the best of times. Every season brings another record, another rare reference, another room full of people pretending they are not emotionally attached to tiny mechanical objects that cost more than houses.
    But what Phillips just pulled off is harder to wave away.

    Footballers used to arrive at tournaments with headphones, a wash bag and the same nervous airport tracksuit as everyone else. Erling Haaland appears to have packed an Hermès archive instead.
    Norway's striker is already hard to miss at six-foot-five, scoring goals like it bores him slightly, looking like someone designed him after watching too much Viking cinema. At this World Cup he has become a talking point before the whistle even blows, and not for his pressing stats.

    The Z9GT Is Denza’s Bid To Give Luxury Buyers Their Bond Moment
    Luxury cars used to have an accent. Usually German, sometimes British, occasionally Italian if the brand felt brave. Denza is skipping all of that.
    The Z9GT is arriving soon in Australia, and it isn't trying to slide quietly into the premium EV conversation. This is a large electric shooting brake with around 850kW, a claimed 0 to 100km/h time of 2.7 seconds, and charging that takes the battery from 10 to 97 percent in roughly nine minutes.

You can find it outside worksites, hardware stores and caravan parks every weekend. But it is no longer the whole story.
    The modern ute has become something else. These days, a ute has to be a family car, a weekend escape machine, a towing rig, a daily driver and, increasingly, a bit of a status play. B

    A 1975 Porsche 911 is supposed to make a certain kind of noise.
    Not just any noise. That thin, mechanical, air-cooled sound that makes old 911 people stop talking for a second and start thinking about steering feel, throttle response and the glory days of Stuttgart.
