When the Lotus Eletre debuted in London in March 2022, it signaled the British carmaker’s transition into a new era of pure electric performance SUVs. Initially, Lotus fans were shocked by how heavy and ultramodern the Eletre was for a Lotus-made car. But the first electric “hyper-SUV with supercar DNA” is proving to be every bit as dynamic as any other model from the celebrated performance automaker.

Fancy a helicopter with sex appeal? Look no further than the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition, says high-flying Australian techpreneur Jean-Paul Thorbjornsen, who was the first in the world to own one.

The 2024 Singapore Airshow enjoyed quite the return to public life. After six Covid-interrupted years, during which time exhibitors pulled out and general access was limited, the latest edition broke records for attendance and showcased a new era of aviation innovation.

Since its launch in late 2017, few SUVs have managed to come close to matching the driving experience and technical prowess of a Lamborghini Urus. Angular and angry, powerful yet playful, the sheer physics-bending mania of this hefty twin-turbo V8-powered super-SUV has been something to behold. In a straight line, the Urus boggles the mind. On track, it transforms into a wild beast giving anyone who dares get behind the wheel a hard-to-beat experience of elation, bemusement and unadulterated thrill.

The Bombardier Service Centre became the home of unwavering excellence on February 7th when Pagani of Singapore and Bombardier joined forces to show off two of their finest examples of luxury, power and speed.

Popularly known as one of the leading brands of luxury performance motor yachts, Sunseeker offers a wide range of jets that each boast a different personality to suite any owner. The Superhawk 55 is one of these yachts that deliver the best performance, as well as an unparalleled agility, perfect for luxury cruising.

The new McLaren W1 is the marque's latest creation that surpasses the groundbreaking achievement created by its F1 and P1™ successors. It integrates both the comfort of a hybrid car on road, as well as the impressive performance of a supercar on track, thanks its cutting-edge aerodynamic structure and all-new V8 engine.

The Flying Spur is arguably one of Bentley's proudest creations that boasts an amazing performance that a combustion engine provides, as well as the efficiency that an electric motor holds. While most of the core components and upgrades are similar to its third-generation predecessor, the all-new Flying Spur becomes the most powerful four-door supercar the marque has ever created yet.

Following Gulfstream's recent success with the G700, the largest and farthest range jet yet in its class, the aviation company finally releases its business jet counterpart, the Gulfstream G400. It stands out in its class, combining luxury, performance and advanced technology to meet the demands of today’s corporate travelers.

Among the many pleasant surprises that came with the 2025 McLaren Artura's launch is the introduction of its Spider open-top sibling. Interestingly, the design and meticulous lightweight packaging of the original Artura was said to have presented quite the engineering challenges for the Spider.

When Aston Martin first unveiled the 2001 version of the Vanquish, it instantly gained multiple praises from collectors and enthusiasts alike, more so because of its iconic appearance in the 007 film, but also because of its impressive performance on the road.

Bentley's bespoke division, Mulliner, revealed its most formidable car yet, a coupé that would simultaneously act as a continuation of the marque’s 100 years of coachbuilding and a swan song for the W12, arguably the most successful twelve-cylinder engine in history. Limited to 18, the Batur is a two seater coupé, hand-built by Mulliner, and the most powerful Bentley in history. Hinting at what the future of coach-built cars might entail, it is also the most innovative when it comes to materiality and customisation.

“We’ve seen a tremendous change in business aviation usage,” says Jean-Christophe Gallagher, “pre- and post-pandemic.” Bombardier’s executive vice president of aircraft sales & defense appears to be invulnerable to jet lag, having touched down at 7 am that September morning after travelling halfway across the world from the United States – and looking none the worse for wear.

The Princess's updated Y Class range signaled a shift in the shipbuilder's direction. These yachts enjoy much more space, with their full-beam master suites, generous lounge areas, cockpits that serve as private lounges, as well as their extended hulls. With the new line also comes the brand's revamped signature glass design that encapsulates its forward-thinking contemporary aesthetic.

Two decades ago, not many at BMW or their M performance division would have predicted that the most powerful M car today wouldn’t take shape in the form of a coupe or grand tourer, but a Sports Activity Vehicle - the modern amalgamation of the sports car and sports utility vehicle. 

Dassault Aviation's Falcon 10X is finally heading into service next year. With it comes the brand's most ambitious business jet yet. Previously known for years for its light-weight, high-performance Falcons, Dassault, back in 2021, shifted its focus to building 'the largest and most capable purpose-built business jet' ever.

Few are the cars that have had the cultural impact of the Chevrolet Corvette. Even in the age of electrification, the American icon has evolved with the best of them. The arrival of the fuel-efficient Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray feels like a natural conclusion. Arguably the marque's most highly anticipated release to date, it has all the makings of a soon-to-be classic, from its hybrid powertrain to its new drive settings and even tyres.

Apart from being known for its world-class ski resorts, Cardrona in New Zealand happens to have one of the region's leading automotive winter testing facilities, the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds. One such marque who has utilised the said grounds is BMW, which decided that the snow-covered landscape would be the ideal location for its curated driving concept, the BMW Snow and Ice Experience 2024.

Back for its 55th run, the 2024 Sydney International Boat Show featured an impressive lineup of cutting-edge motor yachts, sophisticated sailing vessels and some of the most sumptuous super-yachts in the world. The four-day event at the iconic Darling Harbour brought together 185 exhibitors and 618 boats, showcasing 44 Asia-Pacific and Australian premieres and launches.

It was only at the 2023 Fanatec GT2 European Series Championship that Maserati announced its triumphant return to the track, thanks to the GT2. The grand prix was apparently a sign of things to come for the Modena-based manufacturer, as it hoped to incorporate more of its racing DNA into its future models.

While most yachts in its class lean on a more sedate approach to their layouts, Bluegame BGX63's design philosophy focuses on adaptability and fluidity. The yacht's clever layout has been meticulously crafted to maximise angles and proportions.

For more than four decades, the contours of Riviera's yachts have been heralded for their timeless beauty. And at its most recent milestone, the Maison would highlight its design evolution with the launch of the Australian motoryacht manufacturer's 6,000th motor yacht at its world class production facility on Queensland's Gold Coast.

Through its exclusive Ad Personam program, Lamborghini has produced some of the most unique creations for the world's top collectors. The Marque even has a dedicated facility to ensure a thoughtfully curated phygital experience.

Fresh off the success of the Pershing's flagship GTX116, the series announces the new GTX80. Created in collaboration with the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari and Vallicelli Design, the next-generation sports boat hopes to bring together the best of Pershing’s signature look, seamless internal-external integration and top-shelf technologies.

In BMW's exceptional portfolio, the 8 series convertible emerges as one of its more indulgent two-door models. This is most evident in the next-generation BMW M850i, from its sharp, muscular proportions and its striking body kit to its well-appointed interiors and terrific acceleration.

Following the successful debuts of the Eletre and Evija, inquiries from long-time enthusiasts and collector persisted about the arrival of Lotus' electrified version of a grand tourer (GT). Those questions are finally answered with the introduction of the Emeya, the British carmaker's first purely electric GT. With it comes a 'driver-focused' supercar that challenges conventional notions.

In the competitive and evolving world of electrification, Rimac Automobili emerged as an early adopter of the movement. Since then, it has remained one of the most forward-thinking marques in the market. Mate Rimac himself would say a range of world records with the self-converted all-electric BMW based on an 1984 3-series in 2011. Seven years later, it introduced the world’s first all-electric hypercar, ultimately laying the foundation for the record-breaking all-electric Nevera.

As a collector's dream, the Riva Anniversario possesses a certain kind of magnetic appeal. It's made even the more special knowing that it commemorates the brand's 180th anniversary. With it comes a revamped motorboat that combines the best of the iconic Aquariva and Aquarama's stylistic cues with modern touches.

Berluti's name is often associated with the pinnacle of haute couture, thanks to its world-class footwear. Each hand-crafted leather piece it makes exudes a timeless elegance and a certain mastery. Whether it's fine calfskin, kangaroo or alligator leather, the materials the brand uses for its signature lines are indicative of exceptional taste and a Parisian flair.

When someone thinks of the Bentley Continental GT, they are taken to images of grand tourers zipping their way through Mediterranean coasts or sunset highways. And while much of its styling, design and engine capabilities (its a hybrid now, after all), the beloved coupe maintains the same sumptuous recognisable silhouettes.

Maserati and Tignanello are two of the most recognisable brands in Italy for a reason. The marque's Tipo 26, debuted at the Targa Florio competition in Sicily and catapulted the Trident to new heights. Tignanello, on the other hand, was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, modernizing red wine in the process. Now, the duo comes together to introduce a special-edition release in the bespoke GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello.

Just when people thought that Land Rover's Range Rover Sport couldn't be any more lush, they'll be pleasantly surprised that the model now launches an exclusive limited-edition collection. The Range Rover Sport SV Celestial Collection is a for the marque, as it indulges in unique storytelling. Here, clients are provided with vehicles inspired by ancient Greek mythology and the cosmos.

The Ferrari 12Cilindri might well be the final frontier of the front-engined V12. Introduced earlier this year during the Marque's 77th anniversary, the Grand Tourer should be a fitting successor to the 812 or F12. It mostly enjoys a more futuristic character, albeit keeping retro motifs borrowed from the legendary GTs of the '50s and '60s. It can be described, after all, as a homage to the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona.

When BMW first came out with the M5 in 1984, the marque signaled a shift in the luxury sedan market. It would push the boundaries of high-performance sedans all together. As the brand evolved, so did the M5, culminating in an icon that is defined by a distinct blend of power and refinement.

Maserati's iconic MC12 is a classic for a reason. It was the sports car that won Maserati's GT championship in 2004, 37 years after stepping away from the racing scene. The MC12 would take home 27 victories, becoming one of Maserati's most ambitious cars ever.

There's a certain glamour that oozes from the Mercedes-AMG SL43. The sporty character coupled with the classic open-top charm has made it quite the icon in the Marque's portfolio. The SL43's latest reiteration looks to honor the roadster's storied tradition, introducing a refreshed design language and improved technology.

With the latest release of the Range Rover Sport, Land Rover again reminds the world of all the ways it can still reshape sporting luxury. Here, the marque created a midsize SUV that is as luxurious as it is eco-conscious – with the off-road might and technology to match.

When Sanlorenzo chose architect and interior designer Piero Lissoni to design this interesting crossover, the Italian shipbuilder hoped he'd create something commandingly beautiful. The SX88's true character lies somewhere between an explorer yacht and a flybridge. In essence, it was always meant to break the form.

It can be difficult to find a singular superlative that encapsulates the experience of driving Aston Martin's DBX707. Relentless in its speed and regal in its appearance, the SUV's only real rivals are perhaps the Lamborghini Urus or Bentley Bentayga or Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT. But even then, it exudes such a distinct poise rarely found in a vehicle of its scale. It's the 'supercar of SUVs' for a reason, after all.

Ferretti 780 would reemerge at the Singapore Yachting Festival recently, reminding the public of its status as one of the most stunning vessels in its class in Asia and beyond. One can't help but notice its sharp and refined character out in the Marina Bay waters. Ferretti envisioned it as the ultimate flybridge for the true helmsman for a reason.

At the Singapore Yachting Festival, Rivamare joined the likes of other Ferretti Group standouts wallywhy200, wallypower58 and Ferretti 780 as some of the most beautiful vessels in the squadron. Measuring 11.89 metres long with a full beam of 3.5 metres, Rivamare has a unique presence that makes it such a memorable open yacht – and it's rooted in classic cruising.

When one envisions the Sanlorenzo SL96A, one thinks of a vessel that exudes luminosity and flexibility. It's a masterclass in reconfiguration, showing how much space can be maximised when using an asymmetrical layout. The exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful detail, of course, are no slouches either.

After its launch at the Southampton International Boat Show in September last year, Fairline's Squadron 58 received quite the welcome at the 2024 Motor Boat Awards in Boot Dusseldorf. The 60-foot flybridge would be awarded the winner in the ‘Flybridges up to 60ft’ category by the end of the day, thanks to its new old-down aft terraces and beach club, a first for any Fairline model.

Tankoa Yachts and Nauta Design have shared a rich history of friendship that spans three decades now. The two titans of the yachting world are synonymous with innovation, producing some extraordinary creative partnerships along the way. And the introduction of its newest project, 70mt Milano, is no different.

Maserati seems to be taking its 'balance of opposites' to its natural, electrified conclusion. On Folgore Day, where the Modena-based manufacturer celebrated its evolution, it officially ushered in its future by launching the all-electric GranCabrio, taking yet another step toward its larger, long-term plans.

BMW Motorrad set out to achieve a new milestone for superbikes. Hence, the introduction of the latest BMW M 1000 RR. With a reinterpreted chassis, engine and exceptional aerodynamic engineering, the M RR is a triumph of new-age racing innovation. It's a motorcycle that can surely hold its own in the Superbike World Championship.

Paolo Troilo's art is characterised by a certain expressive hyperrealism. His contorted bodies are almost suspended in motion, indicating a rawness associated with the human anatomy. More remarkable is the fact that each large-scale image is rendered only by hand. It's a unique technique the self-taught painter employs that has solidified his place in the contemporary Italian art world.

One common dilemma among supercar owners is that the higher the value the cars are, the more customised their insurance policies are. If a vehicle like Ferrari is peerless in its prestige, then so should its insurance be, after all. Ferrari Australasia recently addressed the need for such by introducing a first-of-its-kind service: its own insurance product.

As far as legends go, the Pagani Huayra R is one of most disruptive hypercars in the world (so much so that it's even banned in some countries). Its performance levels, powered by an aspirated racing engine, are among the most powerful in its class. This is a supercar made for the best circuits around, one that needs a professional pilot to maneuver.

On the occasion of its 150th anniversary, Benetti reflects on the values that turned its voyagers into marvels on the seas. With it comes a renewed focus on innovative design concepts that should reshape its prised B.Yond range.

Every now and then, BMW reminds us of why its M Model lineup is in a league of its own. Such is the case for the next-generation BMW M4 Coupé and Convertible, both of which maximise the best of advanced motor racing technology and aerodynamic functionality. Suffice it to say, these are vehicles made with the highest standards of performance in mind.

Rare are the pairings as inseparable as Custom Line and Ferretti. With a standing fleet of more than 300 yachts sailing in the world, the collaboration has produced some of the most coveted bespoke yachts. Each of these vessels are known to exhibit a sense of classic luxury with distinctive Italian styling.

From the initial looks of those familiar contours, the 2024 Maserati GranCabrio can easily be mistaken for the GranTurismo, if not for that gorgeous drop top. Maserati prefers it that way, of course. Much like its twin, the GranCabrio emphasises a "balance of opposites," honoring classic proportions while maintaining impeccable mechanics and functionality.

When Bombardier first introduced the Global 8000, it showed the possibilities yet unchartered for a private jet in its class. The jet manufacturer took the best qualities of the Global 8000's predecessor, the Global 7500, and transformed them into a flagship of unparalleled long-haul excellence. Soon, it will be the fastest and longest-range purpose-built business jet in the world, bolstering the brand's impeccable portfolio.

If there was ever a car that embodies the concept of “La Dolce Vita,” it's the Ferrari Roma and its soft-top twin the Roma Spider. The dynamic duo are cars that serve as contemporary reimaginings of modern Italian styling. Agility, power and sublime refinement, these supercars epitomise the carefree essence of '50s and '60s Rome.

The wallywhy200 superyacht rears up in the historic vieux port of Saint-Tropez, broad, angular and brooding in its black carbon-fibre and metallics that glint in the sun and catch the eye amidst the more conventional power yachts and sailing boats, the pastels and the cobblestones of the picturesque harbour. Drippingly chic with its teak beach-platform and elegantly arrayed daybeds framed by sharp, linear rails and mirrored black ceilings, the superyacht is almost out of place in this hedonistic Riviera hotspot, as if it belonged on set serving as a Bond villain’s pleasure barge, or in some noir future world given over to unabashed luxury and devastating design.

Aston Martin's new Vantage is a successor that more than lives up to its outstanding name. The sports car, which was said to be "engineered for real drivers," is defined by a revamped contemporary design, chassis technology, razor-sharp handling, as well as a commendable interior that definitively brings the Vantage into the future.

“The Rebel 50 G is aware of its own being and expressiveness," Italian designer Christian Grande says of his latest feat, "with an almost zoomorphic body, with features that create muscular-looking surfaces that immediately give off a feeling of power."

“The words ‘calming’ and ‘Mediterranean fresh’ cropped up a lot in our discussions and I think you can see that in the natural colour palette, fabric-lined walls, and contrasting light and dark veneers in Alpi wood composite," Nauta Design Co-Founder Massimo Gino says of the first SW108 Gelliceaux. "Everything is very easy on the eye and the overall ambiance is classy but cool, understated but sophisticated, stylish but warm.”

The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team had arguably its best season ever just a year ago. With nine podium finishes and 280 Championship points, the British luxury carmaker reminded the public of its high-performance motorsport technology. This upcoming season, it hopes to recreate the same success. Recently, it unveiled a trio of its most thrilling models on the same day: the new Vantage sports car, Vantage GT3 racer, and the AMR24 Formula One challenger.

Images of the Wood Dragon and shades of fiery red define these special-edition automobiles. Each expression is elevated by a certain boldness associated with the Lunar New Year. Here, Boulevard looks into some bespoke commissions from two of the finest automakers in the world.

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster is a supercar of the rarest breed. Not only because there are just 249 of them worldwide, but also because of its compelling combination of dramatic widebody design, ground-hugging wide-track suspension, and otherworldly engine. The vehicle is the last of its kind – the final 12-cylinder from the British carmaker and the largest ever fitted into a Vantage.

Collaborations between the sailing and luxury automotive industries are mostly perfect marriages. The FA Porsche-designed Elan GT6, for instance, delivered a handsome sporty vessel worthy of the Porsche name. Another was the Technomar for Lamborghini 63 motoryacht, which led to a boat that reflected the automobile giant's performance and ingenuity.

It's rather difficult to argue against Dassault Aviation's Falcon 6X being the very best in its class. Bigger isn't always better but in this case, it's true. It is, after all, the aerospace company's largest and most robust business jet in the brand's 60-year history, a real successor to Dassault's fabled aircraft heritage.

As far as muscle cruisers go, the Ducati Diavel V4 is as gritty and as bold as any of its competitors. It's a rare machine that combines the best of an agile chassis, a robust engine and advanced motoring technology. Now, imagine the Diavel with the elegance of a certain British luxury carmaker; that's how the Ducati Diavel for Bentley came to be.

When Jaguar's F-TYPE ZP first came along, it served as the true successor to the great race-winning “Project ZP” E-types of the '60s. A winner of the World Car Design of the Year, the vehicle has since become an icon in its class, a sportscar that set the benchmark for a modern, driver-focused vehicle with that V8 soundtrack. Its exhaust note was so seminal that it would be archived in the British Library.

When one thinks of an Azimut flybridge, one associates it with a certain kind of freedom that can only be achieved in the open seas. It first came along as a game-changer in its class and remains as such. Rare had been the boats that possessed the proper balance between agility, space, and quiet elegance. The Fly 50 came along and made that equilibrium its standard. With the Azimut Fly Series, the brand has taken the same spirit of oneness with the sail, expanding this into a flybridge family that typifies the line's dynamism.

When the McLaren GT first arrived, it impressed drivers because the British carmaker managed to create a real GT from a mid-engine high performance platform. McLaren looks to replicate the same success with the new GTS, the GT's successor. It not only offers a revamped look but also bears distinct stylistic and driving characteristics synonymous only with the McLaren signature.

Range Rover is in a class of its own in terms of the heritage luxury SUV market. Its desirability doesn't seem to waver. This loyalty carries over to the highly anticipated Range Rover Electric, as well. The new vehicle looks to usher in a new era for the brand, even if it means the world has to wait a little.

Whether it's in Dubai, Oman, the Maldives, or Seychelles, EKKA Yacht's 47-metre explorer yacht Para Bellum endows charterers with a cruising voyage of the highest order. Built at the prestigious Sanlorenzo shipyard, Para Bellum was launched earlier this year as part of Sanlorenzo’s Explorer model line-up.

When it comes to luxury SUVs, Range Rovers are peerless in terms of constant engineering innovation. It's a heritage SUV that has half a century of prestige under its belt, and for good reason: it offers the quintessential driving experience built on refinement, design, and technical prowess. More recently, the proud line added enhanced personalisation to that equation, with the introduction of its new SV Bespoke commissioning service.

Talks of environmentally sound changes in the yachting world persisted for years. Yet, it's only been a few seasons since yacht designers have consciously dedicated their designs to sustainable practices. When the Sunreef Eco yacht line first surfaced in 2019, the eco-conscious boats would take the wider cruising industry by storm.

Spanning about 40 years and seven generations, the BMW 5 Series Sedan is a pioneer of the luxury executive segment for a reason. It's a timeless icon of a sedan particularly because of its elevated sportiness, stylish appeal and of course, driving pleasure. And as BMW transforms itself, so will the series. That next leap has finally arrived with the unveiling of the first all-electric BMW i5.

For a while there, Lamborghini seemed to be one of the last holdovers in the great electrification of the past decade. The Aventador, a long-time icon in itself, was recently retired this year, as well. But there is a new era brewing for the renowned carmaker these days, with the introduction of the Aventador's natural successor, the new Lamborghini Revuelto.

Rare are the ships that are true once-in-a-lifetime marvels. Only a handful of voyagers float through the waters as spectacles, then as phenomena. Each of them bends the waves to their grandeur, breezing through the freshness of the salt air while commanding the attention of the light with each graceful stride.

If ever there were a sign that times are changing in the automotive world, it’s the debut of the Maserati Ghibli 334 Ultima. The latest special edition sedan from the iconic Trident marque, alongside the Levante V8 Ultima SUV, marks the final outing for Maserati’s legendary high-performance internal combustion V8 engine.

In the discerning world of yachting, one brand is updating its luxury heritage with sustainable innovations. Sunreef Yachts Eco offers a unique sailing range of catamarans that deliver a holistic approach to ‘green yachting’.

As the perception of everyday driveability continues to evolve, the modern concept of a sports car is also beginning to shift. What was once the exclusive domain of exotic two-door coupes married to an exorbitant number of cylinders of the naturally aspirated persuasion, has now made way for something a little different: the humble family SUV. 

The faithful Range Rover nameplate has come a long way since its debut as a four-wheel-drive luxury SUV back in 1970. Whilst the simple utility and practicality of a larger body was the name of the game for its original creator, British Leyland, the Range Rover moniker of today has evolved to stand for an entirely new driving experience in any terrain.

British supercar marque McLaren continues to push the boundaries of its flagship offerings with the debut of the new 2024 McLaren 750S - the lightest and most powerful series-production model to date. 

The BMW 7 Series has long been considered the pinnacle of luxury offered by the iconic German marque. The very first 7 Series appeared in 1977 and it was a vehicle that embodied dynamic sportiness, innovative technical progress and elegant luxury at the highest levels. 

A game-changer in water recreation, the Seabob offers a thrilling and immersive experience beneath the waves. The innovative watercraft combines advanced tech with effortless manoeuvrability, enabling underwater exploration like never before.

BOULEVARD: Congratulations on the launch! It must be a thrill to see so many people out here – and a welcome sign of the growing interest in yachting coming out of Singapore.

With a seventy-year history catering to luxury life on the high seas, furniture maison Cassina has released a 'YachtingTales' lookbook showcasing something of a cruise collection of designer decor. Back in the 1950s, Cassina pioneered the transition from artisanal to larger-scale industrial production that maintained the highest standard of quality, and so was in a unique position to fulfil large orders from prestige clients. In 1952, Cassina was appointed by the luxurious Italian transatlantic liner, SS Andrea Doria, to fit out the vessel, and would inadvertently become the first design house to export Italian furniture chic to the United States.

The nautical conventions of superyachting have long been established. Owners procure their ideal vessel, add their personal touches and proceed to traverse the world’s oceans in absolute opulence and style.

In the hotly contested world of luxury SUVs, staying ahead of the crowd takes tenacity in design and innovation. The third-generation Range Rover Sport is an SUV that manages to excel in this area while also possessing a trait that most of its competition can’t counter: a bona fide off-roading heritage spanning more than 50 years.

In a sea of distinguished superyacht choices, there are countless ways to explore the open waters in opulence. One of the more prominent names in the industry is Sanlorenzo, an Italian shipyard that’s been in the game of crafting high-quality motor yachts since 1958. Their latest offering is the SP110, the first model of the brand new open series by Sanlorenzo which delivers the best performance at the lowest fuel consumption.

“Whatever it costs, it’s not a problem, as long as it’s something very special,” says Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and without doubt one of the foremost names in luxury, in savoir vivre, in how to spend it. Müller-Ötvös is holding court in his Presidential Suite at Raffles, Singapore, ensconced in a private high tea and referring to the demands of his clientele for ever more extraordinary, and more personal cars.

For all the cachet and romance of private aviation, it’s typically the sheer utility that wins over buyers in the end: the flexibility of flight times, the ease of dedicated airports, the direct flight to a factory, regional office or secluded executive offsite. But yes, there’s also trading Maafaru for Male International, and the next-level comforts of a cabin to call one’s own.

The world’s earliest superyachts first began their voyage at the beginning of the 20th century. It was a pivotal era in nautical history where affluent individuals constructed large private yachts for personal pleasure as opposed to commercial use.

The House of the Trident has accomplished a feat that has never been attempted in its illustrious 109-year history. For the first time ever, the marque will offer its latest GranTurismo model with an entirely electric powertrain capable of delivering a staggering 560kW of power.

The iconic James bond DB5 may be the Aston Martin model that springs most readily to mind. But today, this automaker is steadfastly engaged in building high-performance future classics, such as the Valkyrie hypercar.

Although the shipyard was founded in 1842, the legend of Riva was truly born in the mid-20th Century, during Italy’s so-called Dolce Vita era. The founder’s great-grandson, Carlo Riva, saw that demand existed among the ascendant ‘jet set’ for high-speed, nimble pleasurecraft that brought the style, craftsmanship and performance of an Italian sports car to the waterways. 

There’s nothing so certain to stir a sense of joie de vivre as setting sail on a superyacht. So it’s surprising to see many yacht owners decorate their vessels in a manner that can only be described as joyless.

In 1963, with the launch of the Quattroporte, Maserati singlehandedly invented the luxury sports sedan category. Although the company has produced countless heart-starting two-door sportscars over its century in operation, in recent years, the Trident marque has increasingly become known as the go-to source for high-powered Italian automobiles that offer both performance and comfortable seating for four or five passengers. Veloce… ma pratico. 

“People are no longer seeing yachts as luxury transportation, but more as a home with global mobility,” says Vitelli, speaking to a trend shaped both by the rise in demand for safe, intimate and open spaces, as well as by the ever more indulgent and home-like yachts on offer. Not least, this latest arrival from Benetti: the Motopanfilo 37M.

It is back to the future for Porsche this year. The limited-edition Porsche 911 Sport Classic may not be able to travel through time, but it sure is gorgeous. Porsche fanatics will recognise features dating back to the ’60s and early ’70s ; the broad body of the 911 Turbo models, that fixed rear spoiler in the style of the legendary 'ducktail' Carrera RS 2.7, and the double-bubble roof underscore the distinctiveness of the new 911 Sport Classic.  

Coming soon – Boulevard’s exclusive shoot with the newly launched Black Badge Ghost. Join us as we cruise through the tree-lined avenues and ultra-luxury condos of the prized Orchard Boulevard enclave.

Despite the density of the Singapore CBD, its condos are surprisingly generous. The luxury of an open-air pool, not to mention the astonishing luxury of a tennis court; the pinnacle of a private rooftop pool. Few global capitals offer such privileges – but in Singapore, you can pick and choose. For a price, of course.

“When you commission a Rolls-Royce, you’re working on a canvas that already exists, creating your version through details. With Coachbuild, you’re defining the canvas itself,” says Alex Innes, head of the marque’s bespoke Coachbuild Design team. “Instead of details, we would talk about scale, proportion, grandeur – what sense of occasion are we looking to achieve?”
