• F1 Could Soon Have Its Tallest Driver Ever

  15-09-2026 01:26 via dmarge.com
  
  Ugo Ugochukwu won the 2026 Formula 3 title on Sunday without doing a single thing that will make a highlight reel. The 19-year-old New Yorker ran second the whole way in Madrid, held his nerve through a late safety car restart and finished the season on 159 points to Freddie Slater’s 145.
  He is the first American to ever win the championship.
  That matters well beyond the trophy, because an F3 title carries serious weight toward the Super Licence points that gate entry to Formula 1. Lewis

• This $41,900 Chinese SUV Goes 1017km On A Tank And A Charge

  23-09-2026 07:21 via dmarge.com
  
  XPENG's new coupe-SUV undercuts the Geely EX5, looks like a car that costs twice as much, and offers something no rival does at the price, a range-extender for the same money as the base EV.
  Born again Down Under, XPENG has priced its new L03 with a very sharp pencil. The coupe-styled mid-size SUV starts at $41,900 plus on-roads, a whisker under the Geely EX5 and within shouting distance of the BYD Atto 3. The interesting bit is that the same $41,900 buys either a pure EV or a range-extender wi

• Panerai’s New 42mm Luminor Is the Best Thing It’s Made In Years

  23-09-2026 06:22 via dmarge.com
  
  For thirty-odd years, owning a Panerai came with a quiet admission that your wrist was about to do some heavy lifting. The brand never apologised for that, and the Paneristi never asked it to.
  Now, with the smaller-watch wave still rolling through every boutique from Collins Street to Castlereagh, Panerai has taken the case that made it famous and brought it down to 42mm for the first time. Three new references, the PAM01710, PAM01711 and PAM01714, are all built on the angular 1990s Luminor tha

• 10 Style Rules Every Man Should Follow, According To The Gentlemen’s Costume Designer

  23-09-2026 03:46 via dmarge.com
  
  Ask a costume designer for style advice and you brace for a list of labels you can't afford. Loulou Bontemps named two, quickly, then went back to talking about shoes, seams and patience.
  She dresses The Gentlemen, a show men now watch with one eye on the plot and one on the tailoring. Her actual working method has more in common with a Saturday at the op shop than with anything happening on Bond Street.

• The Gentlemen’s Costume Designer Buys £50 Suits From Charity Shops

  22-09-2026 04:12 via dmarge.com
  
  I slid into Loulou Bontemps's DMs about halfway through season two of The Gentlemen, which is not my usual caper. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to shoot my shot. It paid off.
  I wanted to know how the whole thing actually comes to life, and more specifically, what happened between season one and season two. The fashion jump is not subtle, and most viewers could miss it.

• Australian College Football Player Daniel Hughes Becomes Viral Sensation

  21-09-2026 07:12 via dmarge.com
  
  Daniel Hughes spent Saturday afternoon standing on a sideline in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, doing absolutely nothing, and became the most talked-about man in American sports.
  Florida State were losing to No. 10 Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium when an ESPN camera found their punter with his hands on his hips. Bleached mullet flattened by the heat, moustache fully committed, tattoos running from his ears down under his collar and out both sleeves.
  The clip went everywhere within hours.

• Roger Federer May Have Just Cost Nike Its Biggest Football Star

  20-09-2026 03:55 via dmarge.com
  
  Kylian Mbappé signed with Nike in 2006, when he was seven years old. Reports out of France say that contract ran out on July 31 and wasn't renewed, and on Friday he turned up as the face of On's move into football, with the Swiss brand's first boots due in 2027.
  Reuters reported he's being paid partly in On shares, which makes him an owner rather than a hired endorser. Thierry Henry, who has been working on the project since late 2025, is running it as director of football.

• Taika Waititi Hung A Zeekr From The Ceiling And Called It Art

  17-09-2026 04:49 via dmarge.com
  
  Most car ads follow the same script, with a winding coastal road, a drone shot and a bloke in a quarter-zip looking very pleased with himself. Taika Waititi, it turns out, can't stand them.
  That's partly why Spotlight, the Oscar-winning filmmaker's new photographic exhibition with Zeekr, is far more interesting than your average brand collab. Waititi was handed the Zeekr 7X and given one rule, which was that the SUV's headlights had to be the only light source in every single shot.

• Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog Is Now A US$25,000 Hublot, And Every Surface Is Inflated

  Jeff Koons has spent three decades turning the humble party balloon into some of the most expensive art on the planet. Now Hublot has taken his most famous animal and put it on the wrist, with the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons launching tonight in New York.
  It comes in three editions, mirror-polished stainless steel, red anodised aluminium and blue anodised aluminium, with just 200 pieces made of each. All three carry the same price of CHF 20,800 (US$25,100), which is a lot for an al

  Audemars Piguet has made plenty of limited-edition Royal Oaks for sporting heroes over the years, from Rubens Barrichello to Lionel Messi, and almost all of them were built for a man’s wrist. Its newest one breaks that habit, and it carries the name of a woman with 23 Grand Slam singles titles. The GOAT.

• Volkswagen’s Weird ‘Jetsons’ Car Is Also The Slipperiest Car On Earth

  The Mission Efficiency is a Volkswagen, which is worth establishing early, because a teardrop coupe with covered rear wheels, frameless glass and no door handles you can actually see reads more like a Jetsons prop than anything Wolfsburg has put on a stand this decade. Most people shown a photo guess Cybercab.It is also, as of this week, the most aerodynamic road-approved car ever built.

• Singapore Is Auctioning The Hermès It Seized In A $2.4 Billion Laundering Bust

  15-09-2026 01:20 via dmarge.com
  
  Three years ago, more than 400 Singaporean police officers moved on a single criminal network in one coordinated sweep. They came away with cash, cryptocurrency, gold bars, sports cars, wine, property and enough designer goods to stock a department store.
  The final tally topped S$3 billion, or roughly $2.4 billion in US terms.
  Ever since, the awkward question has been what to actually do with all of it. The answer now sits in a windowless concrete room inside Singapore Freeport, the high-securi

• This Is McLaren’s Most Versatile Supercar Ever

  Supercar press loans run two or three days. If you’re lucky. You get the car, you do your drive, you shoot it, and it's gone before you've really gotten to know it. Fourteen days doesn't happen.
  This one happened because McLaren heard I'd sold my RS4 and was waiting for my EV to arrive. They emailed and said, ‘you need a car, so take the Artura until the new one turns up’.

• Word Number Plates May Be Australia’s Most Undervalued Collectible

  10-09-2026 08:36 via dmarge.com
  
  A four-letter Victorian plate reading 'DIOR' went up on MrPlates this month with no asking price. Where the number should sit, the listing says "Offers". The seller says it has been held in the same family for more than 30 years and has never been fitted to a car. A rare bird, indeed, but nobody can tell them what it is worth, because word plates are impossible to price.

• The Best Jewellery Cleaners & Polishing Cloths For Gold, Silver And Platinum

  Nobody warns you about this at the point of sale. Precious metal picks up sunscreen, sweat, perfume, hand cream and whatever is in the water at Bondi Icebergs, and every metal fails in its own way. Gold goes flat and looks like brass, sterling silver tarnishes to something you would find in a shipwreck, and platinum dulls so gradually you assume that is just how it looks now.

• Weirdest SUV Ever Becomes Instant Hit, Selling 10,000 In 4 Minutes

  Xiaomi said on Weibo on Monday that its new Sky Nomad SUV range took more than 10,000 locked-in orders within four minutes of going on sale, which is roughly the time it takes to boil a kettle. The company did not break the number down by variant.
  The Sky Nomad is the phone maker's first move away from pure electric cars, and it is a strange one. Every version runs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that never drives the wheels, working instead as an onboard generator to top up the battery,

• Sky Sport NZ Cops A Roasting For Playing A Gambling Ad Over Jai Arrow’s Final Walk Out

  Jai Arrow walked out for his 100th and final NRL game on Friday night, flanked by a guard of honour of more than 100 Souths old boys, with You'll Never Walk Alone ringing around the ground and most of the stadium in tears. New Zealand viewers got about three seconds of it before Sky Sport cut away to a gambling ad.
  The ad was for Betcha, and it ran for one minute and 20 seconds. By the time live coverage returned, Arrow was already on the field and the moment had come and gone.

  Tom Holland has just become the third highest-grossing actor in film history. Only Scarlett Johansson in second and Zoe Saldaña in first sit above him, which makes Holland the highest-grossing male actor of all time, and at 30, the youngest name in the top 10.
  The jump came off the back of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which topped the box office again this past weekend and has now taken more than $2.25 billion worldwide. That puts it sixth on the all-time list and it is still in cinemas. C
