Lamborghini sold more than 10,000 vehicles last year for the first time ever and Ferrari had a more than 17% increase in revenue. But customers purchasing Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces and Bentleys have an even wider array of infinitely customizable paint colors and interior materials, to start with, than carmakers offer for less expensive brands. If the customer has a favorite shirt, for example, the car paint could be matched to the fabric color. At Dixon’s Rolls-Royce dealership three quarters of the roughly 90 cars sold each year include some degree of custom options, she said. While she and Rolls-Royce’s design team can provide guidance, in the end, the choices have to be the customer’s.

CNN —The world’s biggest cruise ship is now in the hands of its new owner, with Royal Caribbean accepting delivery of the 1,198-foot Icon of the Seas this week. Royal Caribbean says Icon of the Seas is the cruise line’s first ship that can be powered by liquefied natural gas and will have the first waste-to-energy plant at sea. “Images of Royal Caribbean’s ships have often elicited strong responses,” cruise expert Stewart Chiron told CNN Travel when questioned about the reaction in August. The current “world’s largest cruise ship” title holder is another vessel in the Royal Caribbean fleet, Wonder of the Seas, which made its inaugural voyage in 2022. Slightly smaller than Icon of the Seas, it stretches 1,188 feet in length and has 18 decks to explore.

☆ A Tesla sedan drag raced a $4 million Bugatti — the results were surprisingly close

A Tesla Model S drag raced a Bugatti Chiron. The Bugatti won, but the races were surprisingly close given the cost difference between the cars. The channel pitted the sportiest Tesla you can buy — a four-door Model S Plaid with the optional Track Package — against the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, a multimillion-dollar supercar from a brand synonymous with world-beating performance. But the results were closer than you might expect — especially given that the Model S will run you only a little over $100,000. I say "only" because the Chiron Super Sport would have cost at least $4 million when new.

Most major cruise lines offer airfare programs that come with certain travel protections. AdvertisementEvery cruise line's policy is slightly different, so make sure you read the fine print. But Bhagwan said she tells her clients to never book airfare through a cruise line, even though they often offer cheaper fares. Like any other third-party booking service, buying flights through a cruise line means you won't have direct control over your reservation if something goes awry, she said. From trip interruption and cancellation insurance to evacuation and property coverage, not all travel insurance policies are made equal.

☆ So what happens if the world's largest cruise ship — 5 times bigger than the Titanic — hits an iceberg?

The Icon of the Seas, set to sail in January, is five times the size of the Titanic. If it did strike ice, Royal Caribbean says it has enough lifeboats and rafts for everyone on board. Turns out it is very rare for a cruise ship today to strike an iceberg, but it's not impossible. Cruise ships rely on radar technology and satellite monitoring to avoid collisions with icebergs. Thankfully cruise ships today are also better prepared for disaster.

Red Bull and F1 unveiled its RB18 simulator on Tuesday – based on Max Verstappen's winning car. It's made "using the same process" as the real F1 car – but still costs more than a Tesla Model S Plaid. F1 and Red Bull unveiled the RB18 car simulator on Tuesday, with "The Champions Edition" retailing for £99,999, or around $120,000. The price of the simulator means it is more expensive than many real high end cars. Second-hand supercars from F1 rivals like Ferrari or McLaren might also be bought for less than the RB18 simulator.

If anyone still needs convincing that electric cars need not be boring appliances, the Battista is a convincing, if costly, argument. Electric power promises more acceleration and power without tailpipe emissions and, for better or worse, without the cacophony of a V12. But Lamborghini’s current CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has said that a proper electric supercar isn’t possible with today’s technology. The Pininfarina Battista puts his skepticism to the test, but, I fear, Winkelmann may just be right. The Pininfarina Battista has a $2.2 million price tag and outrageous performance Andi HedrickThe fully electric Battista was designed and assembled by a company spun off from the better-known Pininfarina design firm that crafted bodies for decades’ worth of beautiful Ferraris.
