Bugatti has collaborated with Factor Bikes to create the Factor ONE, a road machine with the same level of accuracy and refinement as one of the brand’s flagship vehicles. There are only 250 of these one-of-a-kinds being produced worldwide, each with its own unique number on a plaque, a charming touch that Bugatti owners are accustomed to. You can already acquire one for a cool $23,599, which is roughly comparable to a rare collector, not your typical road bike.
Cirrus Aircraft has officially unveiled the new Generation 3 Vision Jet, a highly polished version of the single-engine personal jet that has already transformed the way people think about private flight. Since its introduction nearly a decade ago, the Vision Jet has been the best-selling jet in its category, with over 700 delivered worldwide. This current iteration maintains what works while making a host of careful small upgrades to seats, cabin comfort, cockpit equipment, and visibility.
Solar Scooters has just released the Hyperion RST, the second model in their line of electric scooters, and it’s taking things to a whole new level by essentially stepping right into motorcycle territory. Twin 5,000-watt motors complete the job, with a combined peak output of 12,000 watts that can be activated in a heartbeat. The real kicker, however, is top speed: you can reach 70 mph on the open road. Just be prepared to offer that one your complete attention when you feel like it.
Every day, thousands of feet beat the floor of Tokyo Station. Commuters rush to catch their train and dash across the platforms, some of them oblivious to everything around them except their phone screen or the far horizon, while those rush hour trains slice through the air with the same clockwork precision as usual. Amidst all the chaos, an enormous digital figure then pops up on the Sobu Line platform arms, it is as if he has appeared out of nowhere and is poised to halt the next train dead in its tracks.
London might not feel like the center of the next big thing in aviation, but AltoVolo is about to shake things up. The startup, tucked away in those London tech corridors, has just unveiled the Sigma, a hybrid aircraft designed for three that you could actually use to shrink the distances between you and the world, all without the cacophony of a helicopter.
