It’s no surprise to see that Saudi Prince Abdulaziz’s 482-foot yacht has been spotted traveling throughout the Mediterranean lately (where the picture above was snapped), along with nearly every other billionaire baller’s big ship(s). What is significant is that the enourmous cruise ship looking yacht is no longer the second largest yacht in the world. It’s dropped to third place. Right behind the newly launched 508-foot Lürssen Al Said, owned by Sultan Sayyed Qabus bin Said of Oman. Neither boat quite measures up to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum’s (Crown Prince of Dubai) 530-foot Project Platinum, originally commissioned by Jefri of Brunei, who was forced to fork over the boat after it became known that he’d blown through far too much state money to fund his playboy lifestyle.

Middle Eastern royalty is now holding down the top three spots on the world’s biggest yacht list, with Larry Ellison’s 452-foot Rising Sun coming in fourth. All we’ve got to say is it’s time to step it up Larry.

World Car Fans received shots today of the highly customized Rolls Royce pictured above and in the thumbs. According to WCF, the Rolls is a highly modded 1995 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit MKIV that cost approximately $1 million to build. Closer inspection reveals that the car may actually be a Nissan 350Z with a Rolls Royce front end. But without full details we can only speculate. The car has reportedly been spotted in and around Mayfair, London. What do you think about the design?

The 360 is a concept device from designer Francesco Sommacal that replicates a sensation somewhere between snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding. Riders place their feet into the inner part of both wheels, which puts them in a natural position to shred roads, grass, or dirt hills. A speed control mechanism allows riders to bomb steep hills without worrying about losing control.

For those who’d rather push the device to its limits, the 360 can handle skate parks, BMX tracks, etc. Although we’ve yet to see a rail slide. Check out Sommacal’s Zerofra Design site to view videos of the 360 in action. Our only guidance to Sommacal is that he should assemble a talented 360 team quickly if he intends to market the product. His wheelies and carving skills aren’t quite cutting it.
