French motorcycle customizer Tucson has released this sketch of its new BT550 Superleggera Aprilia sportsbike project. If the final product looks half as mean as the sketch, we’ll be impressed. The bike’s clean look is completed by 125GP-size Strawber solid carbon fiber wheels and a number of angular parts. Performance on the 100kg, 550cc Aprilia will be enhanced by custom a crankshaft for maximum power and an aftermarket slipper clutch. No word yet on pricing or availability, but we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Is it the ultimate combination? Or a complete abomination? The flashy Lamborghini Gallardo trailering a custom (and most likely unauthorized) Lamborghini chopper were recently spotted in Miami Beach. From the pictures, we can see that the Lamborghini chopper is wearing the Lamborghini badge, and the black leather seat is embossed with the Lambo seal. We’re a fan of the effort, with the exception of the trailer hitch. What do you think?

Erik Sifrer’s design for the Green Jet 57 m (187 foot) sailyacht offers the perfect solution for the eco-friendly, lazy, and luxury-minded sailboat enthusiast. The concept sailyacht operates similar to a motoryacht, as it’s navigated and controlled by a computerized sail system that is operated by the touch of a control screen. Two fully automated Aero-sails guided by hydraulic motors act as the main propulsion system for the Green Jet, and the hydraulic motors are designed to hoist the sails to full height in 30-40 seconds. The automated sail system means that the crew can focus more on catering to the owner’s requests, versus waisting their time rigging the sails.

Prince Al-Waleed of Saudi Arabia may no longer be the only individual waiting to take delivery on the world’s largest private jet, the Airbus A380. According to Kampala, Uganda’s The Monitor, Uganda billionaire businessman Michael Ezra has placed an order for the plane, reportedly paying $260 million for it.

Ezra plans to deck out his private A380 with an “office, full satellite communication equipment, a conference room for 12 persons, a karaoke room, a movie room, a gymnasium, medical centre, four self-contained VIP bedrooms, another four executive bedrooms, as well as a spa.” The plane will also have living quarters for flight attendants and enough room for three large sedans on the lower deck, where commercial airliners keep their cargo. Interior improvements are expected to run approximately $150 million, bringing the total cost of Michael Ezra’s A380 up to $410 million.
