Knight XV

The end of the world is approaching fast and if you’ve ever watched an episode of Doomsday Preppers, you know you need some serious gear to get you through the crazies who will be taking over the streets.

Why not start with the Knight XV, an ultra-luxurious, handcrafted fully armored SUV? Inspired by military vehicle designs and limited to 100, the bio-fuel powered Knight XV comes loaded with a 6.8 litre V10. Additional features include:

6-passenger seating on handmade Andrew Muirhead leather
Wilton Wool carpeting
Personal side-mounted laptop stations in the back seats
Alpine radio, CD, DVD, navigation and BlueTooth systems
Dual screen rear console
22.5″ custom 6061 aluminum rims
Stainless steel side-mounted running boards
Ballistic fiberglass bumpers and fenders
Front- and rear-mounted night vision cameras
Securilok anti-theft system
Bullet-proof body and windows
Firewall between the engine and passenger compartment

And if you need upgrades, be sure to grab yourself the wet bar, external listening device, roof-mounted search spotlight, and external smoke-releasing security system.

Commercial Space Station

Planning your next family vacation? Why not a five-day stay in space?

Orbital Technologies has recently announced that they’re planning to send a space hotel into orbit 217 miles up. The hotel will fit 7 guests in four cabins and would have huge windows for a stunning view.

It’ll take two days to get there via a Soyuz rocket, and it won’t be ready until 2016. But chances are you’ll need at least that long to save up for the epic trip. In fact, at nearly $1 million per person, unless you’re raking in some serious cash, you’ll need a lot longer than 5 years to come up with that kind of capital.

Brabus 800 E V12 Cabriolet

“Mercedes-Benz” usually conjures images of shiny, elegant and refined cars—and that’s usually the reality. The E800 V12 Cabriolet by Brabus, though, looks more like a modded-out Camaro with Mercedes’s three-point star tacked on.

Except this is NO pony car. This beastly-looking luxury sports car, with its ridiculously powerful engine, will have the former’s lunch and THEN some.

The Brabus E800 V12 Cabrio is a highly, almost unrecognizably customized version of the stock Mercedes E-Class convertible. Under the hood resides a menacing 5.5L, bi-turbo V12 (similar to the powerful S600 sedan’s) that delivers almost 800 horsepower and enough torque to pull a large yacht uphill (810 lbs.ft). 0-60? Done in 3.6 seconds. From 60 to 124? 9.0 secs, done.

“Other” upgrades include 19″ Brabus rims, a slightly wider body, and red and black leather interior that’s laden-aplenty with chic carbon fiber trim.

How dare they say money can’t buy happiness?!…well, at least that of which will endure the whiplash-inducing trip up to 231mph—the car’s top speed.

2011 Shelby Supercars Ultimate Aero II

2011 Shelby Supercars presents the Ultimate Aero II, which is one sports car that lives up to its name. At just 2,600 pounds, it weighs 1,400 less than its main competition, the Bugatti Veyron. Up until this point, the Bugatti Veyron has been able to claim bragging rights on the world’s fastest street-legal car title. Looks like that will now be in jeopardy, as the Ultimate Aero II attempts to trump it with 275 mph capabilities and up to 1,350 horsepower.

Folks, we’ve written about some cars on this blog, but to date this inStash writer hasn’t seen another compare to the lightweigh aluminum framing, carbon fiber wheels (that weigh only 13 pounds), and bad-ass speed. Of course, if you want to make this a part of the family, you better have a million dollars laying around. The asking price for this spaceship is $970,000. But a guy can dream, can’t he?

Porsche Design Advent Calendar

The holidays are fast approaching, so if you’re looking for that one special gift…you should probably keep looking because this is way outside your price range.

The Porsche Design Advent Calendar is the ultimate in excess. It’s like giving a big middle finger to the economy and saying, “Recession? What recession?”

The calendar is a 2-meter high brushed aluminum box that blesses owners with extravagant gifts throughout the Christmas season, such as 18-carat gold sunglasses, French Classic luggage, fine writing instruments and S2 running shoes. However, the biggest gifts are those that don’t exactly fit within the calendar’s cubbies – specifically, a Porsche Design P´6910 Indicator in rosé gold, a customizable Porsche Design Kitchen P´7340 and an eight and a half meter long yacht designed by the Porsche Design Studio in Zell am See, Austria.

There will only be five calendars made – one per continent – so if you absolutely must have it, get your checkbook ready.

Futuria SportSpa Caravan

In the market for a new home, but nothing in your area has wheels? Head over to your nearest real estate agent/RV dealer and check out the Futuria SportSpa Caravan.

The 38-foot motorized abode features a luxurious interior with leather furniture, roof terrace with accompanying jacuzzi, and a sports car garage. Yes, this land yacht could house that spiffy Lotus Evora we just talked about.

If you’ve got $840,000 just burning a hole in your pocket (probably a hole big enough to drive a Mack truck through), you might want to invest in this one bedroom, one bathroom luxury ride and give those country-traveling retirees a run for their money.
