The long time masters in the industry, U.S. Submarines have brought out a 2-person model submarine called the Triton 1000. Being lightweight, it can be comfortably deployed from any medium sized yacht. Better still, one can fit it behind an SUV or a truck and make go.

But realizing the impossibility engaged, I was hunting for a vehicle that can calm down my curiosities and relish my survival on earth. And it seems that the car company quietly understood my wants and hence tied a knot with Edmiston, a lavish yacht brokerage and sales firm to unveil an ultimate Range Rover stimulated from super yachts.
The two companies have organized a contest for the eventual “Superyacht Range Rover”. The renowned yacht designers participating in the contest include Dickie Bannenberg, Tim Heywood, Andrew Winch, Terence Disdale, Ken Freivokh, Redman Whiteley Dixon, and Martin Francis.

For rovers, who wish to travel more in sky than roads and welcome bikes above cars, here is healthy bait for them. Albeit a concept, the MotoPOD RV-10 is a cargo pod that can accommodate a motorcycle into a plane. Unveiled at Airventure 08, the cargo pod enables you to carry a street-legal motorbike in your jet’s abdomen along with a pin system, and a crane.
Accessible from its top, it takes only minutes to unfurl the handlebars, pull the bike out after landing and you are all set to burn the road. Lately, the MotoPOD unit was veteran with the company’s customized motorcycles i.e. a four-seat Van’s Aircraft RV-10 kit built experimental aircraft costing 9 knots airspeed during tour. Company claims to facilitate the feature in STC’d models viz. Cirrus SR22, Cessna 182 and other aircraft versions.
Availing this facility would mean getting additional 230 pounds to your aircraft and would demand a spill over for $10,000. Those who enroll now would have to pay petty $1,000, which again is wholly refundable if you happen to change your mindset. Word is around that they offer special bargains for early customers.
