Named the “Model Excellence 24K,” this custom Tesla was made using the Model S Plaid+ as the foundation where it was then double electroplated with 99.9% gold. The gold can be found on the grille, skirts, rare-view mirror, front and rear bumper, wheels, and small areas which normally see chrome.
The website’s description reads: “Imagine yourself driving this car: a respectable high-quality oil-colored body and a dazzling glow of gold. You are not just driving the car of the future. This is a new word in luxury car modding. If you think that they will turn after you and look with an admiring glance, you are not mistaken. That is exactly what the Caviar Model Excellence 24K is made for.”
Limited to 99 units, the Caviar “Model Excellence 24K” is currently priced at $300,000 USD, an additional $135,000 USD over the Tesla Model S Plaid+’s sticker price.
For most of us, theMercedes-Benz E63S4MATIC+ is more than enough of a car. However,Brabusdisagrees. So, staying true to form, the tuning company has unveiled the Brabus 800, which takes the E63S to new — and much more powerful — heights.
Starting with the engine, Brabus has tuned the turbocharged four-liter V8 to produce 800 HP and 1,000 Nm of torque, which now sends the executive saloon car to 62 MPH in three seconds flat before hitting an electronically-limited top speed of 186 MPH. This is achieved thanks to a set of new turbochargers that deliver a boost pressure of 1.6 bar, and to manage all of the extra ventilation this level of power requires, Brabus has fitted the car with a revised body kit.
For example, a new set of carbon air intakes have been developed and now find themselves integrated into the radiator grille on the left and right sides, while a host of naked-carbon aerodynamic-enhancement components can also be added for a more aggressive look. A top-spec, fully kitted-out Brabus 800 will come with a new front lip, a rear spoiler on the trunk lid of the sedan (the wagon doesn’t get this due to its shape), as well as a new diffuser insert that helps nestle the set of quad tips that connect to the stainless-steel Brabus high-performance exhaust system, in turn delivering a visceral acoustic experience.
To make the Brabus 800 look more menacing, it now rides on 21” Brabus Monoblock “PLATINUM EDITION” Z forged wheels that tuck under the wheel arches thanks to a new airlift suspension, lowering the car by 10mm or 20mm depending on the drive mode selected. And of course, the interior has also been elevated to match the powerful exterior. Expect plenty of leather, Alcantara, stainless-steel, and carbon fiber to be found inside, which upgrades parts such as the aluminum paddle shifters on the steering wheel that control the nine-speed automatic transmission when in manual mode.
Take a look at the Brabus 800 above, and find out more about the tuned Mercedes-Benz E63S 4MATIC+ on Brabus’ website.The BMW E30 M3 is undoubtedly a modern classic, with prices continuing to push onwards and upwards for models that are particularly clean. Last July, a pristine E30 sold for $250,000 USD, while a similar Paul Walker-owned version sold for $150,000 USD in May 2020. In between these, the E30 has become a byword for what’s cool in the automotive world, being used as the canvas for collaborative efforts from the likes of KITH and Travis Scott. Now, auction site Bring a Trailer has another 1991 BMW E30 M3 up for grabs, and thankfully, this one is in brilliant condition too.
Showing just 31k miles on the odometer, this “Alpine White” over silver leather upholstery iteration comes with all the original bells and whistles we love to see on an old BMW. For example, it is powered by a numbers-matching 2.3-liter inline-four engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, which combined produce 192 HP and 170 lb-ft of torque and send that to the rear wheels.
As for the wheels themselves, they’re 15” basketweave rims that sit neatly under the extended fender arches. The fenders complement the revised rear bumper and the taller rear deck lid with an integrated spoiler, adding to the classic sporty look. Inside, you’ll find original components such as a BMW cassette player, original manually adjustable sports seats, an electric sunroof, and more contemporary conveniences such as air conditioning and cruise control.
As of writing, the 1991 BMW E30 M3 — which is one of 5,300 examples produced for the North American market in a five-year period — is sitting at a bid of $62,000 USD. Expect this to increase before the Bring a Trailer listing ends in nine days.
Now though, the British footwear brand has turned its attention to the Wallabee Bootfor a two-piece online exclusive, each of which boasts a unique hand-dipped silicone rubber finish dubbed: the Dipped Wallabee.
Crafted in Italy, the new-look leather boots arrive in either “Natural/Blue” or “White/Red”, both of which sit atop a darker toned crepe sole. Equipped with leather laces and the traditional hangtags, each take features the brand’s new distinctive dipped silicone effect, alongside an imprint which reads “BA16 0EQ” as a nod to the Clarks Originals Somerset-based HQ.
Available exclusively from the Clarks Originals webstore, each Dipped Wallabee retails at £420 (approximately $580 USD).High-flying New York Knicks rookie Obi Toppin is one of the newest members of the Jordan Brand family, and the Jumpman has just blessed him with his first-ever PE: an Air Jordan 35 Low dubbed “Orange Flood.” Combining a Knickerbockers-inspired orange color scheme with rich gold embellishments, the design showcases newness, potential and NYC basketball pride.
As mentioned above this low-cut Air Jordan 35‘s uppers are done up almost entirely in orange, from the Flightwire quarters and toeboxes to the Air Jordan 12-esque mudguards. If you look closely, however, you’ll see touches of navy blue on the laces, around the tongue’s pull tab and on the heel’s Nike Air graphic. Gold appears on both the Zoom Air unit-housing Eclipse Plate 2.0 and the Air Jordan 5-inspired tongue’s Jumpman logo to round off the look.
As for Toppin himself, his Knicks have been the story of the 2020-2021 NBA season. At the time of writing they’re sitting at 37-29, which is good for 4th in the Eastern Conference and guarantees their first winning season in nearly a decade. Toppin has largely been stuck behind Julius Randle — a leader for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award who is having a career year — but has had an opportunity to flash his elite athleticism in limited minutes.
Toppin’s Air Jordan 35 Low “Orange Flood” PE will not see a retail release, but you can check it out above. If you want to see a Jordan Brand sneaker that you will be able to purchase at retail, take a look at the Air Jordan 1 Low “Arctic Orange” — a low-cut iteration of the popular Air Jordan 1 “Crimson Tint” from 2019.With its beefy upper, criss-crossing straps and bold “For Outdoor Use Only” hit on the heel, Nike(NYSE:NKE -0.03%)‘s Air Raid is far from delicate. However, the rough-and-tumble streetball sneaker originally endorsed by Tim Hardaway has now arrived in a light and airy “White/Gum Light Brown” makeup that’s ideal for the summer — no matter if you’re hoopin’ or lampin’.
High-cut uppers top their sturdy ballistic mesh base with tumbled leather overlays, all of which are dressed in white. Signature detail is served by criss-crossing fabric straps on the forefoot, secured by a Velcro anchor point on each side of the collar. Though the Air Raid is one of the rare Nike Sportswear sneakers to be Swooshless, its branded hits arrive on the tongue, the lateral side’s strap anchor and the aforementioned “For Outdoor Use Only” heel hit. Midsoles continue the tonal white stylings, but gum outsoles bring a finishing touch of contrast into play by creeping up onto the heel, toe bumper and forefoot, the last location of which secures the straps at their bottom.
The Nike Air Raid “White/Gum Light Brown” will release on the Nike webstore come May 7. Its MSRP is set at $140 USD.As lore has it, May is a month of love and success — so it seems only fitting that the world’s biggest footwear brands would be kicking it off in style. During this first week of May, we’re set to see high-heat styles from brands like Nike(NYSE:NKE +0.12%), adidas(XETRA:ADS.DE -0.77%), Jordan Brand, New Balance and Dr. Martens, but before we dive into the best drops from the next seven days let’s take a look at what went down last week.

Caviar, specialists in taking consumer products to a whole new level of luxury, are applying its design language on something a little more ambitious than an iPhone — by making the world’s most expensive Tesla (NASDAQGS:TSLA -2.45%) Model S.
