Foiler, Enata Marine

Enata Marine’s Foiler will change the way you view sea travel. The Flying Yacht, as it is more affectionately known, is a marvel of technology. Its cutting-edge retractable hydrofoil design, coupled with a sophisticated onboard management system, will have you soaring 1.5m above the water at 40 knots (74km/hr). You’ll get the same enjoyment of speeding through water without the choppiness, bumps and splashes.

Of the four cabin configurations available, the new Royale design (from €895,000) lets you enjoy the sea breeze from elongated loungers at the beam and stern. The two-seater cockpit at the bow allows you to control the sports yacht with a joystick, and comes with a minibar, plenty of legroom and a full view of the horizon.

Maserati Ghibli Operanera and Operabianca

In any other context, taking an iconic Italian car and dressing it up on a whim can be borderline sacrilege. Unless, of course, you are the godfather of Harajuku and Japanese street culture, Fujiwara Hiroshi, in which case you can do whatever you want. The cultural maverick has added his visual signature to the Maserati Ghibli Granlusso sports sedan and the result is a monochromatic duet – Operanera and Operabianca; black and white. Effectively a showcase for the Maserati Fuoriserie customisation programme, the cars feature Fujiwara’s distinctive touches everywhere, from the front grille and wheel rims to the contrasting silver inserts in the vertical stitching on the livery. Only 175 of these will be made and all will bear the code M157110519FRG signifying the partnership. The cars will be accompanied by a specially designed capsule collection.
