DeLorean Hovercraft

Entirely custom built, this DeLorean Hovercraft is as close as you can come to Doc Brown's flying time machine. The DeLorean body is crafted from styrofoam wrapped in fiberglass and coated in metallic paint, keeping weight down while recreating the car's iconic looks. A 23hp Briggs & Stratton riding mower-style engine powers the 36" thrust fan, while a second B&S push mower engine powers the 24" lift fan. As a result, the craft can hover 6-8 inches over nearly any flat surface, and can hit speeds up to 31 mph on the water in good conditions. It's recently received numerous maintenance and performance upgrades, and 10% of the proceeds will benefit The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research.

Acionna Superyacht Concept

Boasting a length of 574 feet with eight decks, the oversized nature of the Acionna Superyacht Concept belies its eco-conscious intentions. The craft is powered by hydrogen, using a system similar to one currently being trialed in cruise ships and ferries. To ensure there's plenty to do on your voyage across the seas, the interior offers enough room for a squash court, helicopter hangar, and indoor pool, while outside the pool completely surrounds a series of "island" communal areas reached by a bridge towards the front or tunnel in the rear, while the water cascades down either side to a lower pool at the swim platform.

Sanlorenzo SX76 Yacht

Thanks to its deft blending of flybridge cruiser and explorer elements, the Sanlorenzo SX76 Yacht is as versatile as it is sleek. The main deck is open from bow to stern, letting guests move between the kitchen to the dining and living areas and out to the aft seating area with ease. Below deck is a master suite, a VIP room towards the bow, and two twins. The crew cabin sits aft of the master with direct access to the engine room, which holds twin Volvo Penta IPS 1050s. It has a maximum speed of 22 knots, a cruising speed of 20, and a 194-square-foot beach deck that doubles as space for a tender and jet ski.

The Private Suite LAX

It's not a private jet service. It might be better. The Private Suite is a new terminal at Los Angeles' LAX that caters to the wealthy, famous, and privacy-seeking. Upon arriving, you'll be brought to one of 13 private suites, where you'll find complimentary food, drinks, toiletries, and other essentials, a bathroom, a TV, and speakers awaiting you. An on-site spa is also available, and you can order pre-flight meals ahead of time so they'll be ready when you get there. The staff will keep an eye on the clock for you, and when it's your time to leave, they'll escort you through their own TSA outpost — and customs if necessary — before a personal chauffeur drives you and up to three companions over to the main terminal, where you'll get straight onto your plane, ahead of anyone else.

Southern Wind Kiboko Tres Yacht

Built to balance speed with comfort, the Kiboko Tres from Southern Wind is a 105-foot sailing yacht. Thanks to its carbon fiber hull, deck, and bulkheads, it's extremely light, giving it the speed and nimbleness needed to compete in superyacht regattas. It's also quite welcoming, with a large forward master suite, a sizable saloon above the engine area, three private midship guest cabins, and a crew cabin at the rear. It's currently on its maiden voyage from the builder's Cape Town berth to its home base in Mallorca.

Hyper-Sub Multipurpose Aquatic Vessel

Speedboat above the surface, submarine below it, the Hyper-Sub is one of the most versatile vehicles we've seen. It has a modular design with a dry cabin that can be swapped out for different configurations, and a "Hyper-Buoyancy" system that controls the 30,000 lbs. of lift to allow for controlled ascents from depths of up to 1,200 feet. Two 60 hp trusters propel the 45-foot vessel at speeds up to 5.5 knots under the water, while dual 480hp Yanmar diesel engines enable speeds up to 31 knots in speedboat mode.

Vespa Elettrica Electric Scooter

Roughly two years after its announcement and a few months past the planned date, Vespa has finally started taking orders for its Elettrica electric scooter. With a maximum output of 4 kW, it outperforms 50cc models, yet has a range of 62 miles and a charge time of just four hours. It will eventually be joined in the lineup by the Elettrica X, which adds a gasoline generator to double the range to around 124 miles. European deliveries are scheduled to begin later this year, with US and China orders to open in 2019.

Royal Huisman Pura Sailing Yacht

Think about the Pura as more of a platform and less of a finished product. Centuries-old Dutch shipbuilder Royal Huisman has teamed with architect Mani Frers to let each buyer customize their yacht. Much of the engineering for the 130-foot vessel will be completed beforehand, but the shape of the hull, deck, and superstructure will be created via a collaboration between the owner and Frers, who will provide drawings along the way. The interior will be similarly customizable but should offer room for up to eight guests and six crew members and a wide range of high-end creature comforts.

SolarImpact Electric Yacht

Powered entirely by a bevy of roof-mounted solar panels and a bank of batteries, the SolarImpact Electric Yacht lets you explore the seas unencumbered by the need for fossil fuel. It uses a twin-hull design to cut the swaying of the boat by up to 90 percent, and dual 500 kW engines, powered by an 800kWh battery pack and two 65 kW range extenders, let it hit speeds of up to 22 knots. As a result of its three-level design, it offers over 3,600 square feet of living space, on a frame that's just under 80 feet long and over 32 feet at its widest point. And while it has a cabin for a crew, its AI-powered autonomy systems allow the boat to be maneuvered by a single person.

SpaceX Martian Base

SpaceX founder Elon Musk has made no secret of his ambitions to get humanity to Mars, sooner rather than later. Now he's given us a look at what a Martian outpost might look like. Dubbed Mars Base Alpha, it would consist of a main, dome-like base building flanked by smaller structures, all set near a series of launch pads. As for getting to the Red Planet, SpaceX is planning to use its BFR (Big Falcon Rocket) to begin carrying cargo there by 2022, with the base potentially being built as soon as 2028. In the meantime, the company plans to start BFR testing next year, with its first manned private passenger lunar mission to come afterward.

Vertical Aerospace eVTOL Aircraft

Bristol, UK-based Vertical Aerospace is hardly the only company developing a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. They're just more realistic about it. Founded by a former F1 team owner and loaded with talent from Airbus, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Martin Jet Pack, and General Electric, the company has already completed an unmanned test flight of a full-scale vehicle. The company is currently working towards a piloted intercity air taxi service, which it aims to have up and running by 2022.

Mate X Folding E-Bike

Created in the cycling capital of the world, Copenhagen Denmark, the new Mate X is loaded with upgrades. The foldable e-bike now boasts a Shimano 8-speed cassette with improved easy-gear shifting, a Tektro braking system, backlit LCD display, and a bigger, longer frame fitted with wide-rim fat tires. The 750W motor with 48V battery helps the Mate X reach speeds of more than 20mph with a 55-mile range, and it can be folded up in about 10 seconds for easy storage and transportation. Available in five colors with loads of accessory upgrade options.

Lexus LY 650 Luxury Yacht

Considered the brand's fourth flagship model, the Lexus LY 650 Luxury Yacht is the only one that goes on water. The 65-foot vessel exudes the brand's L-finesse design language, with clean exterior lines and high-end interior finishes. Built, sold, and serviced by WI-based Marquis-Larson Boat Group, the first example is expected to hit the water in 2019.

Berluti Leather Motorcycle Helmet

A standout piece in their new 11-piece runway collection, this motorcycle helmet is a collaboration between Veldt and French luxury brand Berluti. The helmet boasts a Japanese-made carbon fiber shell with a glossy black finish and a Scritto graphic pattern. It has Venezia-leather accents throughout, black galvanized metal hardware, Coolmax padding, and a modular design with a removable chin guard that helps it evolve into a full face helmet.

Burstner Harmony 3 Concept Camper

With a hotel-like interior, the Bürstner Harmony 3 Concept Camper is a true home on wheels. Notable touches include pendant lamps, a rainfall shower, an in-wall espresso maker, and enough interior space for a coffee table. Despite all these amenities, it's not overly large, instead using the living area as a bedroom via a bed that drops straight down from the ceiling, providing a sleeping platform that floats in mid-air. As with most concepts, don't expect a production version anytime soon.

Luca Vallebona Pentagramma Yacht

Created by Italian naval architect Luca Vallebona, the Pentagramma is a 269-foot concept that begs to be built. It has large sunning decks both fore and aft, with the latter also housing a full-beam swimming pool. The main deck has high ceilings, an owner's apartment with two balconies, and four guest suites. Perhaps the most notable feature, however, is the semi-enclosed central courtyard, which offers privacy and protection from the sun without sacrificing the open air feeling.

Anvera 48 Yacht

Though technically categorized as a yacht tender, the Anvera 48 is a fine boat in its own right. It has a carbon fiber hull that's hydrodynamic below the waves and aerodynamic above, with dual 550 hp engines propelling it to speeds of up to 55 knots. Its open rear deck offers 215 square feet of lounging area with the rear gunwales folded out, and a large cabin in the foredeck allows for overnight trips.
