60 years on, the Porsche 911 continues to be one of the best sports cars on the market. Porsche is keeping the 60th-anniversary celebration rolling with the 911 S/T, a stripped-down 911 aimed squarely at the purist 911 fan. The naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter, 517-horsepower flat-six is mated to a six-speed manual transmission with a lightweight flywheel and clutch. The purist camp will enjoy a total of 70 pounds less weight than the manual 911 GT3 Touring, making it the lightest 911 you can buy new. 0-60 comes in 3.5 seconds with a terminal velocity of 186 MPH. A revised aero package is optimized for a sleek look and the road, with a Gurney flap on the retractable rear spoiler.

The interior is trimmed in Classic Cognac cloth seat centers and black pinstriping, and two-tone semi-aniline leather trim in black and Classic Cognac. 1,963 911 S/Ts will be made, with deliveries beginning in Spring 2024.

The exclusive Heritage Design Package adds Shoreblue Metallic paint and Cermica wheels, with the original Porsche crest from the first 911 throughout the exterior and cabin.

CyberTrailer for Tesla’s Cybertruck

Tesla’s Cybertruck can’t tow just any camper. Living Camper is bringing its expertise in high-end campers to the CyberTrailer, a dual-axle camper with angular styling that fits the Cybertruck theme perfectly. The CyberTrailer draws power from a rooftop solar array and can act as a charging station and can even recharge the towing vehicle, although Living Vehicle hasn’t released details on battery capacity or generation. The CyberTrailer also isn’t limited to the Cybertruck, with gas-powered or other EV trucks like the F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T being just as suitable — although not as well matched aesthetically. Living Vehicle plans to start deliveries of the CyberTrailer in 2025, with reservations available for a refundable $100 deposit.

Approx $175,000 USD

In the iconic movie Scarface from 1984, Tony Montana (played by legendary actor Al Pacino) wore a very unique and today discontinued 28mm quartz Omega ‘La Magique’ limited to only 261 pieces worldwide. The watch was released one year before the movies premiere.

The “La Magique” is an 18k yellow gold timepiece, with sapphire crystal, and a gold chain bracelet.

The watch is sometimes called ‘The Phantom’ because of its transparent dial, which creates the effect of the watch’s hands floating over the wearer’s skin, hence the name ‘La Magique’

So if you want to channel your Cuban gangster you can buy it here second hand for a cool A$30,892.20

Now for any fan of The Godfather this is a must. This stainless steel Datejust Rolex was gifted to Brando after he won the Academy Award for best actor in his portrayal of Don Vito Corleone in this iconic movie in 1973, is now up for auction. It’s engraved with ‘Vito’s’ MB’ and comes with a handwritten letter of provenance from the previous owner. So if want this 31mm steel not to special Rolex (only special because of it’s connection) you can bid at GWS Auctions and maybe make them an offer they can’t refuse (probably not a  horses head). When we last looked bidding was around the $6500 USD mark, so it’s quite reasonable at the moment, with auction ending 11 May. From GWS Auctions:

“…Marlon Brando is considered by many as one of the greatest and most influential actors of all time. He was ranked by the American Film Institute as the fourth-greatest movie star among male movie stars whose screen debuts occurred in or before 1950, and was one of only four professional actors (along with Charlie Chaplin, Ronald Reagan and Marilyn Monroe) named in 1999 by Time magazine as one of its 100 Most Important People of the Century. The watch was given by Brando to Academy Award nominated designer Patricia Norris in 1976 after the pair developed a friendship and he told her that he wanted her to have the timepiece and that it “would fit her well.” The watch measures 8.5″ in length and will be accompanied by a handwritten letter of provenance from the previous owner who purchased the watch after Patricia Norris passed away…”

*Update: Sold $40000 Unverified.

The PORCINI LAMPS collection is a collaboration between two Adelaide interior designers Jacquie Hagan and Madeleine Potter, called memaké.

“The Porcini range grew from a subtle exploration into the elegantly simple form of the mushroom. A series of organic shapes and forms were reinterpreted to form these beautifully crafted and sustainable pieces. Bringing the role of artisan back into design, the Porcini design represents a spirit of craft and the handmade.

The range consists of two designs, the Porcini Stem, comprised of a standard lamp and table lamp, and the Porcini Canopy, comprised of various sized pendant lamps. The lamp shades across the entire Porcini range are interchangeable, to achieve multiple size combinations. Using naturally sustainable materials; Tasmanian Oak, a non-endangered timber species sourced from Australian sustainable forests finished with natural Australian beeswax, and 100% pure new wool upholstery, which is both biodegradable and renewable.”
