Man of Steel Superyacht for Sale at $50 Million

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

The 164-ft. Heesen superyacht Man of Steel (above) is for sale via global online luxury marketplace JamesList for $50 million. Built in 2008, the tri-deck ship with helipad takes its name from the use of hot rolled steel threaded seamlessly and worked in elegantly throughout the yacht. The main stairway floats off of the wall, supported on a steel column, while the stairs themselves are created out of steel with carpet inserts. Steel is also a notable element in the reveals of the maccasar ebony cabinetry. That and the floating glass floor over a bed of black river rock encountered upon entering the yacht mark it as one-of-a-kind among ultra-luxury cruisers.

The full-sized glass owner's suite has 240-degree views and a bed that rotates to take them all in. The owner's balcony contains a private negative edge spa and its own sundeck. The lower level and "pop-culture" themed family room are Moroccan-inspired with bright colors and a specially-commissioned Bisazza tile mural. Key elements of the modern Art Deco-inspired salon space include maccasar ebony, period-correct sterling silver, crystal, and a platinum color scheme. Asian and Zen influences can be seen in the custom platforms for the furniture, the square proportions of the cushions, and the glass encased black river rock floor.

Filed under: Gadgets, Luxury Cars & Autos

A fully armored Rolls-Royce Phantom, able to withstand everything from a direct assault with an AK-47 to a poison gas attack, is for sale in Germany via online global luxury marketplace JamesList for about $1.5 million. Engineered to the highest international protection rating, the armored Phantom is virtually indistinguishable from the standard version to lure attackers into a false sense of security.

The car features high-tech fiber composites and special steel plating to provide protection for the bodywork, with bulletproof glass for all windows and its own oxygen supply in the trunk in case of a gas attack. The ultra-luxe car's aluminum spaceframe chassis and suspension have been strengthened and the 453 hp powertrain remains unchanged, while nothing has been sacrificed in the way of luxury, refinement and comfort.

Brother, Can You Spare a Bugatti?

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Wealth

Call it a sign of the times: no less than 18 ultra-exclusive Bugatti Veyrons are currently for sale via online global luxury marketplace JamesList. Obviously what seemed like a good investment for some during the economic boom is proving either an expensive liability these days or a way to raise some much-needed cash. The sheer number of the supercars being offered up is even more astounding taking into account the fact that as of last March, although over 200 Veyrons had been sold, only 132 had actually been built. The Veyrons on offer via JamesList range from a relative bargain of a 2005 model in Germany at about $1 million all the way up to $2.6 million for the first model in the 2006 production run. Of course, no two Veyrons are exactly alike.

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

The world's fastest production sailboat, Le Breton Yachts' SIG45 (above), is for sale in the Netherlands via global online luxury marketplace JamesList for about $900,000. The SIG45 (SIG stands for "Speed Innovation Grace" is capable of sailing in excess of 25 knots, a speed normally restricted to powerboats. It was "designed to fill the gap between a high performance racing boat and a luxury cruising yacht, in the same way that today's super cars fill the gap between F1 and regular cars."

Built entirely of carbon fiber, the SIG45 was designed by the architects of the world's fastest offshore sailing yachts. Unlike a pure racing craft however, the yacht features stunning lines and a minimalist yet luxurious interior created by superyacht designer Bjorn Johansson. High quality fabrics and fittings were used throughout the three double cabins, two fully equipped heads, galley, saloon and separate navigation station.

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

While Bugatti's much-anticipated Centenaire Bleu edition in celebration of it's 100th anniversary presented at the Geneva Motor Show turned out to be something of a letdown, another tweaked Veyron more than lived up to the hype. We're talking about the Mansory Vincero (above), which we first told you about back in January, of which only three examples are being built. With over $700,000 worth of upgrades added by Mansory, the total price of the Vincero (Italian for "I will win") comes out to about $2.5 million.

One of the Vincero's is now for sale in Abu Dhabi via online global luxury marketplace JamesList. The German-based exotic auto tuner boosted the car's power to 1,109 hp, and the exterior is finished in high-gloss black and grey with chrome accents on the grille, front fenders and doors, and front and rear carbon fiber panels.

1st Pagani Zonda Cinque for Sale at $2 Million

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

An eye-popping Pagani Zonda Cinque supercar, the first of only five ("cinque" = five) being built for collectors worldwide, is for sale in Germany via global luxury marketplace JamesList with a price of €1,600,000, or about $2 million. The limited edition run of the ultra-rare exotic, which will be on display at next month's Geneva Motor Show, was already sold out by the time it was officially announced some months back. The car, with a bespoke titanium and carbon fiber chassis, has 678 horsepower and 575 lb. ft. of torque taking it from 0 - 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Pagani, founded by former Lamborghini designer Horatio Pagani, recently announced the final series of the Zonda, the Zonda R, but with 15 models for sale and a lower price it's arguably less exclusive than the Cinque.

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

The world's only full carbon Ducati 999S is being offered for sale in Switzerland via global luxury marketplace JamesList for €120,000, or about $160,000.

The bike was handbuilt upon a full carbon frame from Carbotech along with other special carbon and titanium parts. The carbon was honed and polished part by part and then buffed to a high gloss with multiple lacquering. The price makes it one of the world's most expensive motorbikes as well.
