Unveiled at the Geneva International Auto Show the Bentley Continental Flying Star is one hell of a head turner. The custom fabricated uber-wagon was build by Italian Car maker Touring Superleggera at the request of one very persuasive customer and the end result is simply stunning. With an exclusive design based on the Bentley GTC Speed coupe, the Flying Star featured at the Geneva Motor show has a 6 liter W12 engine with 610 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Another Flying Star variant can be built based on the Continental GTC coupe with 560 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive enables more advanced traction and new rear compartments allow for foldable rear seats and larger loading space. The Bentley Continental Flying Star will be one of those rare beasties that will gain quite a cult following over the years. Problem is, they’re only making 20 of them per year, so you guys best get your orders in now. Price starts at $800,000.

We’ve been told that they work well and are perfect as a child’s first computer. The hard drive is only 2GB but you can use a USB external hard drive for extra storage. The mini netbook may be a little too slow for an adult user but its just cheap enough to give to your child without having to worry about losing money if they break or lose it. They can learn to use the net, email and play games.

Alligator, python, ostrich…and salmon? Yes, what used to be a wasted byproduct of processing fish for eating is now the latest trend in exotic skins and fine leather. Salmon is as strong as cow’s leather but has the appeal and beautiful texture of something much more unique, plus it has an eco-friendly edge since it’s otherwise considered garbage.
With a starting price of $285,000, Bentley’s newest flagship model won’t come cheap. Nor should it, with its 505-horsepower, 725 lb-ft, gasoline-fed 6.75-liter V8 engine sitting behind the automaker’s trademark mesh grille and four round lights.

Here is a taste of extreme luxury with the Sarcar Carrousel. The name refers to the large diamonds placed in the dial that freely move around the circular path around the watch face. The Carrousel has 12 half carat diamonds set in gold, which rotate freely against a mother-of-pearl backdrop, not to mention the many other diamonds that decorate the dial and 18k white gold (or red gold) 40mm wide case. There are a total of 13.21 diamonds on the watch – 399 of them.
Strap is crocodile with a gold folding clasp. At 40m wide, the watch is probably sized for a man, but suitable for a woman. Anyone lucky enough to brandish a decadent number like this should at least wear it once in a while. Prices at $300,000 each. Want one? Call (954) 600-9492 or e-mail info@crossbowintl.com.

Louis Vuitton applies it feminine touch to the otherwise manly Tambour Diver watch. The new Tambour Diver Lady is a charming line of watches that come in 35mm steel or pink gold cases (the latter having some diamond decoration). You can get the Louis Vuitton Tambour Diver Lady watch with a Swiss quartz or automatic mechanical movement. The dial is available with the classic Louis Vuitton floral pattern or pink mother or pearl.
You won’t find the watches that easily as you’ll have to look at special Louis Vuitton boutiques only. Price will likely be around 3,000 euros.
