Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group have collaborated to create the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, an exclusive motor yacht which was inspired by the Sián FKP 37 hybrid supercar.

Fans of the Fast & Furious franchise will instantly recognise the latest Lego Technic set, because it’s a miniaturised version of the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T driven in the films by street racer Dominic Toretto.

BMW has collaborated with 3T to produce a new special edition bicycle. The 3T For BMW is based on 3T’s Exploro which is “the world’s only full-aero gravel bike” (according to its manufacturer).

Following 2017’s Sport Yacht Concept, Lexus has introduced the production-ready LY 650.

Nissan is currently busy finding applications for the Roam, a new 1 kW portable power unit that recycles batteries from the Leaf electric car. Following last month’s NV300 workshop van project, a collaboration with Suffolk-based Opus Camper has now resulted in a trailer tent concept.

Previously, when most engines were normally aspirated and the vast majority ran on petrol, displacement was a simple way of establishing a clear model hierarchy. Even the most casual observer would understand that a 2.0 litre car was inherently superior to its 1.6 litre counterpart, for example.

Like most other premium motor manufacturers, Bentley isn't averse to sticking its name on non-automotive products. The latest such venture is a couple of home wireless speaker systems.
