Cool Hunting
At
Sotheby's Damien Hirst auction last week the artwork might have been the focus inside but there were a few gems found outside the venue as well. On site at the event Supertouch were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a rare Ferrari 456 Venice Station Wagon. The wagon is a custom coach build by Pininfarina and is privately owned by the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah.
Starting out as a 456 GT equipped with a V12 442 HP engine, the Sultan added 2 more doors and a hatchback to make a truly unique Ferrari you could tote you kids around in. Other customizations on this right-hand drive model include a slightly stretched wheelbase, new bodywork on the back end, and new seats.
Seven were made and the Sultan owns six of them, reportedly purchased for $1.5 million each in 1996.

"Profound" was the word Jeff Koons used most frequently to express his feelings about his Versailles show at the opening day press conference. After viewing the 17 sculptures installed in the castle's rooms and courtyards, we have to agree. While it's not a word often associated with Pop Art and may read as a self-aggrandizing statement (especially coming from an artist known for his...
As is to be expected when it comes to the world's preeminent sports meet and (perhaps more importantly) cultural event, coverage during the first weekend of the Olympic Games was heavy on cheesy montages and stuffy commentary. For a richer, more authentic look into China and their way of life, we recommend NYC-based photographer Dan Eckstein's recent project entitled Picture China. A documentary and...
The Panini family in Modena, Italy not only produces some of the most delicious and coveted organic Parmigiano Reggiano in the world, but next to the feed barn that houses the cows is the most complete collection of Maseratis in the world. As such, the farm gets hundreds of visitors per year just for the extensive range of cars, motorbikes and tractors they have...
Soon after a report in the June edition of Wired that talks of spying and sabotage against Ferrari causing a Formula One fiasco, I was understandably a little surprised to be invited to Ferrari's Maranello, Italy headquarters to celebrate the latest installment to Formula Uomo, a program started in 1997 aimed at holistic and continuous improvement of the company. After watching test cars roll...
