2020 BMW 7 Series Sedan

BMW has redesigned its flagship 7 Series sedan to be bigger than ever — and not necessarily in chassis dimensions. The new sheet metal is peak Twin Kidney Grille, with BMW saying that the trademark styling cue is 40% larger than the previous model. While some will find the new design polarizing, there's a good reason for the change — the increased opening provides more cooling for the motor and brakes. The base 740i model comes in rear-wheel-drive, while the rest of the range comes with xDrive, BMW's all-wheel-drive system, standard. The 745e is a plug-in hybrid with a 3-liter inline six, with other engines being a 4.4-liter V8 and 600 horsepower, 6.6-liter V12 in the top-end 760i. The upgraded iDrive 7 software gets a larger infotainment screen and a host of driver assists are available, from backing assist to electro-mechanical, servo-assisted steering. The new 7 Series launches in April 2019, with pricing to be announced closer to launch.

Vripack Rock Explorer Yacht

Inspired by the permanence of marble and the ruggedness of Land Rover, Vripack's Rock is a potent mix of luxury and capability. Its high straight bow handles rough seas with grace, while the low aft gives direct access to the water. Water access is also a step away from the master bed, as the stateroom has a fold-down wall that transforms into a terrace. Overall, the fast displacement steel hull and aluminum superstructure provide far more interior and exterior space than most 80-foot craft, including three more guest cabins and a spacious sundeck with hot tub. Thanks to twin 1,000 hp Caterpillar C12 engines, it has a top speed of 16 knots with a cruising speed of 12 and a range of 3,000 nautical miles, perfect for exploring its Mediterranean home.

Hammerfest Hiking Cabins

Although the climate north of the arctic circle is some of the world's harshest, hikers just can't get enough of its challenging terrain and surreal landscapes. So to give those brave souls a break during their journeys, the Norwegian Trekking Association created the Hammerfest Hiking Cabins. The timber domes were built to be placed on the rocky mountaintops of Norway. Their tortoise shell-like exteriors are made from 77 wooden panels that when pieced together can withstand extreme wind and cold. Interiors allow trekkers to push the pause button during their hikes and enjoy the scenery from a large glazed panel while warming up with a wood-burning stove. The first cabin was assembled over 1,500 hours by volunteers in a warehouse before being transported to the site in two pieces. A second hut is in the works and is expected to arrive in 2019.

Heimplanet Mavericks Tent

When serious weather strikes, you need more than just your typical tent to keep you safe, dry, and comfortable — you need a tent like the Heimplanet Mavericks. Designed for some of the roughest camping conditions imaginable, it has an inflatable diamond structure forming a large geodesic dome capable of withstanding winds over 100 miles per hour. Fast inflation means a single person can pitch the tent in just minutes, while convenient valves let you deflate the structure just as quickly. For when things get hairy, sections of the inflatable structure can be isolated for repair, so you never have to worry about losing your refuge when it matters the most.

Nissan IMs Concept

Nissan is no stranger to EVs — its Leaf EV has been in production since 2010. But Nissan is ready to take its EVs into more mainstream territory, and the IMs concept points the way towards the company's all-electric future. The IMs strikes a balance between all-out crossover and sedan. The rear doors are hinged suicide style, allowing entrance and exit unencumbered by a center post. The IMs has 380 miles of range from a 115 kWh battery and packs an electric motor on the front and rear axle for a total of 483 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, and Nissan hints at stellar performance aimed at Tesla's current lineup. Autonomous driving features will be included, along with new tech that maps the area around the car, feeding information like road signs and traffic to the driver or passengers. Nissan also hinted at the car being able to provide a virtual passenger for traveling solo — a feature that probably won't be making it into their cars any time soon.

Hestra Utsjo Gloves

Combining quality craftsmanship and materials is what Hestra is all about. Since 1936, the company has been personally sourcing their own materials and producing gloves in their factories to ensure the best quality. Their Utjso Gloves are no different. The exterior is crafted from supple Nordic elk leather known for its durability and warmth. It features a half-pique construction with an elastic wrist and cuff button for a secure fit. On the inside, a soft polyester fleece is filled with Primaloft insulation adding another layer of protection from the elements. The gloves are sized by British Inches which is measured by the circumference around the palms at its widest point.

Volkswagen x Arctic Trucks Amarok AT35 Concept

Volkswagen's Amarok is a mid-size body-on-frame truck designed to go head-to-head with the likes of Toyota's Tacoma and the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado — and that makes it the perfect platform for the first collaboration between VW and expedition vehicle specialists Arctic Trucks. Arctic Trucks took the Amarok's capability to the next level with a host of upgrades, raising the ride height by 25mm and fitting larger wheels and tires. Fender flares cover the wider rubber front and rear, along with a cap over the bed that has been fitted with equipment for tackling Iceland's outdoors. The AT35 is expedition-ready with a portable generator, fire extinguisher, and a cappuccino machine to make sure you're at full awareness for the trip. Icelandic VW dealer Hekla commissioned the Amarok and it won't be sitting on the dealership floor looking menacing — the truck is currently taking customers out in the snow and ice for offroad driving experiences.

Westlands Ranch

Situated along Colorado's White River, the Westlands Ranch is a billionaire's backcountry playground. The compound sits roughly 20 minutes outside of Meeker, that is if you drive. The property is even closer if you go by helicopter and land on the on-site helipad. Spanning over 4,603 acres, the natural land includes five miles of live water for private river fishing and park-like forests for big game hunting. The current owners have also added a tennis court and a Greg Norman-designed four-hole golf course along the rushing waters. As far as accommodations, the main house is just as impressive as the landscape. The 19,000-square-foot lodge-style home is comprised of five bedrooms, a wine cellar, game room, and home theater. The interior opens out to expansive terraces and a swimming pool surrounded by old growth spruce and Douglas fir. If that's not enough room, there's also two guest cabins, a carriage house, and a historic log home.

French Barn Find Vintage Car Collection

Dreams still do come true, and this 81-car barn find in the French countryside proves it. Inside a massive barn and strewn about in the weeds outside, 81 cars from the 50s to the 80s were found calmly rotting away. A diverse collection, everything from massive, high-end American luxury cars like the Lincoln Continental, Cadillac Eldorado, and Chrysler Imperial were found next to European classics from Porsche, Jaguar, and even Lamborghini. The absolute star of the show is a numbers-matching 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 with just over 48,000 miles on the odometer and expected to bring between $456,000 and $684,000. A Series I Jaguar E-Type is also in the collection, along with a pre-A Porsche 356 — although the latter is in extremely bad condition. Some other interesting models are a C3 Corvette and a 1930s Citroen van. The auction begins on January 20th in France.

Coldsmoke MA-1 Bomber

If it's not broke don't fix it doesn't apply to the Coldsmoke MA-1 Bomber. The American-made apparel brand gives the military jacket's classic silhouette a fresh slimdown and tailored hem for a more urban fit. An exterior crafted from water-repellant flight cloth and a Polartec Alpha insulated lining fights the elements, offering enough protection to handle the transition from fall to winter. Finishing features include two outer zippered pockets and an internal pocket with a headphone port while a custom-dyed shaw collar and a polished graphite zipper complete the monochromic colorway.

Tranquil House

Concrete is usually thought to be heavy and bulky. For a family home in Shiga, Japan, FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects contradict the raw material by turning it into a light, tranquil abode. The structure is built on a busy highway, leading to a lack of voids to allow for privacy. On the south facade, thick entry walls cantilever over the ground as if the house is weightless. While the floor plan is open, varying floor and ceiling heights help to define rooms. Celestial windows wash the living spaces in natural light, softening the exposed concrete walls. The tile floor extends the interior to a terrace where a glazed wall blurs the boundary between the inside and the outdoors. From the patio, a railing blocks the unwanted surroundings and draws the eye up to enjoy northern views of the landscape in the distance.

2020 Ford Explorer ST SUV

Ford took the wraps off of the all-new 2020 Explorer, revealing the biggest changes to the popular SUV in almost a decade. Sharing a new platform architecture with the Lincoln Aviator, the Explorer is back to its roots with a more truck-like rear-wheel-drive layout. Along with the new chassis, the Explorer is also getting a performance-oriented ST edition. The Explorer ST gets Ford's 3 liter, 400 horsepower EcoBoost V6 engine, along with a host of chassis upgrades that aim directly for the likes of BMW and Land Rover in performance. Two options are available for the ST — an ST Street Pack and an ST Track Pack. Both come with 21-inch aluminum wheels, bigger brakes, and red brake calipers, and driver-selectable modes for tighter steering and stiffer suspension settings. A new 10-speed automatic is standard across the range. The new Explorer will be available later in 2019.

Supreme Skateboard Deck Collection

Spanning two decades worth of releases, this Supreme Skateboard Deck Collection is a solid representation of the streetwear brand. The decks date as far back as 1998 and as recent as 2018, and feature a wide range of subject matter, including pop culture icons, artworks both classic and modern, and, of course, the brand's iconic logo. A total of 248 decks are part of the offering, including a complete Louis Vuitton Boite skateboard trunk with matching tool kit, trucks, wheels, and shoulder strap.

1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C Alloy Berlinetta

Released in 1964, the Ferrari 275 GTB was an instant classic and the ultimate road car the Italian company had yet produced. The 275 GTB was the first Ferrari production car with independent rear suspension and a transaxle — the transmission being mounted over the rear wheels for optimal weight balance. The car received several tweaks throughout its lifetime, the most notable being a revised V12 in 1966 that raised horsepower up to 300 from the previous 260. The 275 GTB/C6 pictured here is the rarest of the rare. The car is one of eight alloy-bodied cars with completely different bodywork from the production version. A torque tube was added along with six Weber carbs that brought horsepower up to over 320. The first of the eight built, the car was with the original owner's family for 36 years. An immaculate restoration, original numbers-matching parts, and factory colors make this one of the most desired 275 GTBs to come to market in years.
