PRESSING THE VOLUME KNOB SETS IN MOTION A FANCIFUL POWER-UP SEQUENCE. SEE THE VIDEO AT ROBBREPORT.COM/ ORPHEUS. THE LIST OF the 6,000-plus components that make up the Orpheus headphone system from Sennheiser (sennheiser.com) abounds with esoterica that will set an audiophile’s heart aflutter: dual MOSFET ear-cup integrated amplifiers, electrostatic transducers, 2.4-micrometer diaphragms, gold-vaporized ceramic electrodes, eight ESS Sabre chips, SE 803 vacuum tubes. Together these parts form what may well be the best personal audio system ever created. Priced at about $62,000, this latest Orpheus is an entirely new version of the much-acclaimed system that the revered German brand introduced some 25 years ago. The amplifying and processing components are built into the system, so the Orpheus needs only an audio source. It works equal wonders with digital music files…

IF DINNER AND drinks in the company of classic and custom-made cars sounds like a good time, Miami has a new nightclub for you. The Miami Supercar Rooms (miamisupercarrooms.com), which opened in February in the city’s Wynwood Arts & Entertainment District, showcases cars from the collection of Elo, a former fashion model from England who restores, customizes, and collects cars. In 2004 he opened the London Motor Museum (londonmotormuseum.co.uk), where most of his nearly 250 vehicles are housed. The Supercar Rooms displays a rotating selection of more than 25 cars from his collection. The space is open as a gallery during the day, and on weekend nights it transforms into a nightclub with a DJ, a bar, and a full menu. Each month, a different local restaurant provides the culinary…

A NEW SERIES OF open sports yachts, the Palmer Johnson Niniette (palmerjohnson.com) represents a collaboration between the Monaco-based boatbuilder and the French automaker Bugatti (bugatti.com). The latter company’s founder, Ettore Bugatti, called one of his boats Niniette, using the nickname that he had for his daughter Lidia. Palmer Johnson’s Niniette includes three models: 42, 63, and 88 feet. Pricing for the smallest model starts at about $2.25 million. The yachts feature a dark-blue carbon-fiber hull based on that of Palmer Johnson’s SuperSport series. They also display design elements that, the companies say, are inspired by classic Bugatti models and the more recent Veyron. The yachts accommodate four guests, and the interiors can be customized.…

“IN THE SPACE BETWEEN” is how Cécile zu Hohenlohe (available at Chamber Gallery, chambernyc.com) refers to her sculptural rings, whose stones appear to float on the hands. Each unique creation ($8,000 to $28,000) features rough and polished stones in a design that spans three fingers, with the open space between the gems serving as an integral part of that design. The designer uses precious and semiprecious stones, as well as minerals and meteorite. “The process is like an abstract painting,” says Hohenlohe. “I meditate over the stones, and over time a design comes forth organically.” She describes her jewelry’s mix of elements, such as the ring shown here with a chunk of lava, a rough aquamarine, and a faceted peridot, as the “tame and untamed.”…

INSTEAD OF CELEBRATING a day of grand touring with the traditional glass of Champagne, Rolls-Royce suggests dipping into its limited-edition Cocktail Hamper (about $46,300, rolls-roycemotorcars.com), a fully stocked kit for the mobile mixologist, with everything from platinum-trimmed glassware to a laser-cut monogrammed strainer. Created by Sina Maria Eggl, the marque’s accessories designer, with suggestions from experts at the Dorchester and 45 Park Lane hotels in London, the 15 hampers are fashioned from American walnut and trimmed with leather used for Rolls-Royce interiors. Bar implements include a magnetically secured paring knife, cocktail shaker, ice bucket and tongs, handblown platinum-rimmed glasses by Theresienthal, and two sharing plates with cotton napkins. It is, however, BYOB.…

Green Coast Gem THE REVERED RESORT brand Aman has deemed the Dominican Republic the next hot destination for its “Amanjunkie” loyalists. In November, the company opened Amanera atop a cliff along the Caribbean nation’s forested Green Coast. Twenty-five contemporary casitas—many with private swimming pools overlooking the pristine sands of Playa Grande—embrace the views of beach and jungle with floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive terraces. In Amanera’s cigar lounge, Dominican puro cigars are hand rolled by experts from Arturo Fuente. The resort’s golf course—a first for Aman—features 10 breezy oceanfront holes. —AMANDA MILLIN WHAT: Aman’s sleek and modern rendition of a tropical Caribbean getaway. WHERE: On the Dominican Republic’s northern Green Coast, overlooking the sands of Playa Grande. WHY: Aman’s trademark blend of service and style in a blissful beach setting—plus the…

THE EAST COAST of New Zealand’s North Island looks like a long-lost version of the Southern California coast: largely unpopulated, framed by mountains, and fringed with wild vegetation. The pristine nature of this Pacific Ocean region owes much to its rigid ownership laws, under which the majority of the land is controlled by either the local government or New Zealand’s native Maori people. Now, an Auckland-based company is offering the opportunity to own a piece of this unspoiled land, selling a handful of parcels that are being developed in an appropriately respectful fashion. “Real estate here is very uncommon,” says Jim Rohrstaff, a cofounder of the firm Legacy Partners, which is offering a limited number of homesites on 1,400 acres of beachfront terrain spanning nearly 8 miles of coastline. “Something…

THE BRITISH-BUILT McLaren 650S Spider proved the most formidable challenger to Ferrari’s 488 GTB, impressing our judges enough to finish in a not-too-distant second place. “It’s total perfection and fun,” said Alan Mark. Added Diane Zeiger, “The design, driving performance, and interior electronics are a step above the Ferrari.” Inspired by the McLaren P1 and deemed a notch above the 12C, the mid-engine, open-top 650S Spider shares the latter’s carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer monocoque tub, which derives from the marque’s Formula 1 cars. The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine pumps out 641 hp and 500 ft lbs of torque. It’s paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. “It’s a flawless transmission married to a remarkable power plant,” said Lee Applbaum. “This is the closest you can come to experiencing the thrill of a Formula…

MERCEDES-AMG HAS put performance on the boil with—some think—the first true Mercedes-Benz sports car since the original 300 SL of the 1950s. This two-seater represents an evolution of the SLS AMG, Robb Report’s 2010 Car of the Year: smaller, sharper, and more stylish. “It was love at first sight,” said Andrew Shantz, “and then it exceeded those expectations” Douglas Von Allmen found the car’s looks disappointing. “Mercedes makes cars with beautiful styling, but this is not one of them,” he said. “But it is the most beautiful to drive” Michael Hamaway wasn’t sure what the GT S is supposed to be. “Is it a muscle car or a GT?” he asked. “It’s not really comfortable enough to be a GT” Most of the judges agreed with Von Allmen’s second point,…

WHEN OUR JUDGES ranked the BMW 750i xDrive highest among the large luxury sedans in this year’s competition, they favored it over cars that cost roughly two (Mercedes-Maybach S600) and three times (Bentley Mulsanne Speed) as much. Tara Maw described it as “the ultimate controlled luxury sedan” in reference to such new features as Gesture Control, which enables you to accept and reject calls and adjust the stereo volume using hand motions. Michele Eddy said the 750i xDrive is “stellar in all ways” and that “technologically, it’s a dream.” The 7 Series may not be as plush as the Bentley or Mercedes-Maybach, but many judges, including Brad Blettner, said it strikes the right balance between pragmatic and luxurious. He called it “practical luxury” The 750i xDrive is equipped with all-wheel…

THE JUDGES REACHED a consensus about the Cadillac CTS-V. “This is not your father’s Cadillac” proclaimed Lee Applbaum, Faheem Hasnain, Dick Johnson, Jeremy Mancheski, Don Quigley, and Gary Sekulow. Nor is it “your grandfather’s” (Jonathan Ko), “your sister’s” (Tom Mantione), or “your grandmother’s” (Mike Karns and Larry Mueller). The CTS-V is the fastest production car Cadillac has ever built. Powered by a 640 hp supercharged V-8 engine, it dashes from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Functional design elements such as a hood bulge and larger air intakes give the CTS-V a more aggressive look than the standard CTS. Although Steve Levine dismissed the car as “a souped-up Chevy with bad plastic surgery” Wayne Mailloux said it “drives over the speed limit, under the radar” Three drive modes adjust…

In 1999, Omaha-headquartered Jet Linx launched a winning business strategy that has grown the company into more than 13 cities nationwide, all while remaining a local company. The secret? Focus on the client first. The company has patiently watched all of its larger competitors expand nationally and even internationally at a much faster pace with their floating fleets and “serve everyone, everywhere” business models. Jet Linx, however, realized that it could offer a much better customer-service experience and more competitive pricing if it limited its guaranteed service offering to local clients only. “We’re the first and only company in the industry to offer guaranteed jet card and aircraft-management programs on a local scale,” says Jamie Walker, president and CEO. “The handful of other companies that provide guaranteed service solutions do…

Lilienthal crashed, snapping his wings and, unfortunately, his back. His final words: “Sacrifices must be made.” THE PATH TO glory is paved with bad inventions. The enviable feats of engineering exhibited in this month’s Car of the Year competition (page 79) no doubt stand tall upon the sepulchre of dozens of abandoned or miscarried ideas. Indeed, for all the romance with which we imbue the mind’s eternal musings—and their technological offspring—in terms of human progress, it is not the healthy children of imagination that deserve our esteem, but their crackpot brethren. Failure, after all, is the element that fires the chain reaction of progress: Success is little more than the useful residue that coats the beaker once the pyrotechnics of imperfection have played themselves out. Failed inventions possess the twin…

ALTADIS U.S.A. altadisusa.com Montecristo, rich in history and reputation, is revered as one of the industry’s best. In 1935, a lector would read stories to their cigar rollers to help the skilled team pass time. The rollers loved to hear The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. The iconic Montecristo logo is a fleurde-lis, representing the regal and artistic, surrounded by six swords which is a nod to the novel. Montecristo Cigars are meticulously handcrafted at the Tabacalera de Garcia factory in the Dominican Republic and are available in a variety of premium blends.

WITH ITS SPHERICAL shape and high-gloss finish, the Zemi Aria wireless speaker (zemiaudio.com) will catch your eye before its sound fills your ears. The Italian speaker designer Francesco Pellisari collaborated with the London-based architect and industrial designer Ron Arad to create the speaker. It features a 125-watt trio of amplifiers, and the interior of the case is engineered to eliminate unwanted resonance. You can play music from a phone, tablet, or computer through Bluetooth or Apple AirPlay, or you can use the Aria’s input jack to connect a CD player or turntable. The Aria is priced at $799 and is available in white or black.…

FOR ALESSANDRO SABBATINI, every earring that he creates must lie beautifully on the ear, flatter the face, feel lightweight, and move gracefully with the wearer. This is no small feat, considering that the Italian designer’s elaborate jewelry often comprises hundreds of stones. To ensure that each earring, bracelet, and ring feels as beautiful as it looks, he sits in a small Paris workshop alongside his craftsmen, helping to carry out his vision through a meticulous process that yields for his brand Sabba (available at FD Gallery, fd-gallery.com) only about 40 pieces a year. Now in its second year, Sabba has garnered a following of sophisticated collectors who appreciate the 28-year-old’s exceptional stones and high-quality artisanship. Shown here (clockwise from upper left) are amethyst earrings with diamonds and white agate; amethyst…

WHEN JEWELRY designer Dennis Chan founded Qeelin in 2004, he aimed to celebrate the symbolic themes of his native Chinese culture but in a contemporary style. “I’m fascinated by stories, and China’s 5,000-year history is full of rich stories, artistry, and design,” says Chan, who today is the chairman and creative director of the Hong Kong–based company. “My dream was to turn something traditional into something with a sense of modernity” Three years ago Chan’s progress to that end—including his brand’s success in China and Paris—caught the attention of Kering, the French luxury-goods conglomerate that owns Bottega Veneta, Girard-Perregaux, Gucci, and more. Kering purchased a majority stake in Qeelin in 2013, and now the jeweler’s designs are making their debut in the United States. Qeelin recently launched in a dozen…

“GET IN, SIT DOWN, shut up, and hold on!” Remember the license-plate frames from decades ago that conveyed these points of passenger etiquette? While the Car of the Year contest’s LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster bore a more distinguished Robb Report plate, tough love remained the order of the day when professional racecar driver Kevin Conway was behind the wheel. Lamborghini’s 2014 Super Trofeo world champion showed the ride-alongs what the brand’s biggest, baddest bull could do, pushing the car’s acceleration, braking, and corner carving to within 80 percent of their limits—on public streets. “It’s extreme, yet approachable,” said Brent Holden. He was among the judges who were not intimidated by the looks of the Superveloce Roadster or its specifications (750 hp, 2.9-second zero-to-60-mph time, 217 mph top speed), which make…

THE 911 TARGA 4 GTS didn’t receive as many first-place votes as some of its higher-powered and higher-priced competitors, but many judges said that of all the Car of the Year entrants, the Porsche is the vehicle they would most likely buy. “It’s a true driver’s car” said Trevor Philips. “It’s not the most powerful, but it offers the best experience between car and driver” The 3.8-liter 6-cylinder engine produces 430 hp and 325 ft lbs of torque. When equipped with the PDK dual-clutch transmission with launch control—a feature that John Plueger called “insane, scary, and fabulous”—the car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The driving modes include Sport Plus, which, said Greg Kadens, “gives you whiplash when it shifts into third gear” The 911 Targa…

MANY OF THE judges’ comments about the Mulsanne Speed concerned whether it would be better to drive Bentley’s flagship sedan yourself or hire a chauffeur and take a seat in the back. Ravi Mehta would choose the latter. “Why would you want to sit in the front seats when the rear is so amazingly comfortable?” he asked. In addition to comfort, the Mulsanne Speed can offer the convenience of a refrigerator and a trio of crystal Champagne flutes. Mehta recommended those optional features. “Please pop the Krug” he said. Bret Morrison agreed that the vehicle offers a better experience for passengers than for the driver. “I will buy one when I lose my license from speeding in the Ferrari,” he said. Other judges enjoyed their time behind the wheel. “This…

MAYBACH, A BRAND that Daimler revived from 2002 until 2012, has been reborn again, this time as Mercedes-Maybach. The inaugural model is the S600, and it’s essentially a Mercedes-Benz S-Class that has been sent to finishing school to add more technology, length, and luxury. With a starting price under $190,000, the S600 represents considerable value compared to the last Maybach models: The 57 cost about twice as much as the S600 when new, and the 62 was priced even higher. Those prices, coupled with the recession, contributed to poor sales and led to Maybach’s demise. Nevertheless, some judges expressed a preference for the old marque. As Russ Faulk wryly observed, “This is not my ’Bach. Maybe it’s your ’Bach.” Regardless of how the car is branded, many judges held the…

PRIVATE AVIATION has seen a remarkable transformation in the last five years. The basic business models of fractional ownership, jet cards, and charter remain as solid as ever, but they have been joined by start-ups that are focused on enhancing value through creative usage programs. Even the most established names have reinvented themselves by adopting new technologies, partnering with sophisticated companies outside of private aviation, and, in one case, creating the most upscale fleet in the industry. Of course, passenger comfort, efficiency, and extended access remain the core drivers of private aviation, attracting those who like to reach destinations in the shortest time without having to navigate the quagmire of the commercial airport system. Instead of several hundred airports, a private aircraft can now travel to 5,000, many of them…

Sentient Jet saw its revenues reach record levels last year, as its Jet Cardholders took more flights in 2015, the most flying volume since 2008. The pioneer of the jet card concept, Sentient Jet has seen solid growth over the last five years, and a burst of momentum in 2015 as the brand’s longstanding business model gained from a growing trend among consumers towards “asset-light” purchases. “Many clients are shifting to smart business models that reflect the times,” says Andrew Collins, president & CEO of Sentient Jet. “In private aviation, they understand that we can deliver exceptional levels of safety and service, and they don’t have to make sizable up-front investments in the aircraft.” The results have been impressive. The number of Sentient Jet Cardholders nearly reached 5,000 last year,…

THE BUSINESS OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY has exploded to become a $3.5 billion industry. We know more about our own health and fitness behavior than ever before. Even as basic fitness trackers proliferate, both start-up companies and established brands are moving the needle beyond the mere gathering of fitness statistics to provide wearers with information that can improve safety and performance—from yoga pants that assist with alignment to a system that analyzes which golf club will give you the best results at the tee to free weights that help lifters preserve good form. GARMIN VARIA VISION SOME OF THE MOST EXCITING smart fitness gear being developed is in the cycling category, and most of it improves safety in addition to relaying sports-performance data. The new technology from Garmin, Varia Vision ($400),…

STYLED BY PININFARINA’S LEONARDO FIORAVANTI, THE F40 SHARED THE SAME PROPORTIONS AS THE TIMELESS 308 GTB, WHICH FERRARI FIRST PRODUCED IN 1975. THE F40 IS fabled for its inimitable looks and turbocharged technology—and for being the final production car developed under the direction of the company’s founder, Enzo Ferrari. Known as Il Commendatore, Enzo died in 1988, bringing to an end his absolute rule over the world’s most famous marque. Ferrari launched the F40 in 1987 in celebration of its 40th year in business. This model followed the limited-production 288 GTO as the company’s ultimate road-going statement and remained in production through 1992. Ferrari built just over 1,300 examples, including 211 to U.S. specifications. The F40’s aluminum-and-composite bodywork enveloped a tubular chassis, and the car’s rear body section—sporting an aerodynamic…

EQUINE ANALOGIES USUALLY abound when car enthusiasts talk about a Ferrari. Such was the case when the Car of the Year judges discussed this year’s winner, the 488 GTB. References ranged from a racehorse to a Bronco. “This horse is a true Thoroughbred,” said Zane Edwards about Ferrari’s latest mid-engine marvel, which bested the other Car of the Year contestants with its tantalizing combination of power, handling, sound, and style. “This is the Peyton Manning [in his prime] of super sports cars,” said Larry Mueller. The car’s high-tech drivetrain, active aerodynamics, and beautiful, wind-cheating body represent a blend of engineering and design that could come only from Italy, according to Jonathan Ko. “It’s the epitome of Italian craftsmanship” he said. The 488 GTB is more powerful than its predecessor, the…

APPROPRIATELY, GIVEN THE company’s namesake, there was an alternating current of adulation and criticism for what may be the most polarizing automobile ever to participate in a Car of the Year event. The Tesla was praised for its performance and technological advances and panned for its lack of soul. But many of the S P90D’s fans liked the car enough to give it a first-place vote, which accounts for its finishing as high as it did in the rankings. The contest’s S P90D was equipped with Ludicrous mode, a $10,000 option that enables the car to reach 60 mph from a standstill in 2.8 seconds. That’s nearly as quick as the Bugatti Veyron. “Incredible speed, eco-friendly, room for five, and the safest car made—this car has it all,” said Walter…

FOR MORE THAN 60 years, America’s sports car—as General Motors has dubbed the Corvette—has competed against premium-priced European models, sometimes cleaning their clocks with its power and performance but often lacking their refinement. The latest Corvette Z06 has none of the rough edges that plagued its predecessors, according to just about every judge who drove the contest’s red convertible. “It finally delivers on the boyhood dream, with comfort and finish to match performance ” said Brent Holden. A lofty power-to-price ratio remains a Corvette hallmark. The Z06 has a 650 hp supercharged V-8 and a starting price of less than $84,000. The judges apparently weren’t expecting it to hold its own against sports cars that are three to five times as expensive, and they were impressed when it did. “It’s…

THIS CONVERTIBLE IS the top-of-the-line variant of Jaguar’s F-Type sports cars, and though it costs more than $100,000, James Early called it “an unexpectedly good car for the price” Maybe he wasn’t expecting so much power for that amount of money. The Jag’s 5-liter supercharged V-8 produces 550 hp and 502 ft lbs of torque, putting it “on the threshold of supercar designation,” according to Gary Spratling. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, enabling a zero-to-60-mph time of 3.9 seconds. “They need to build an autobahn in the U.S. to let this car run,” said Don Quigley. All-wheel drive, which is new for the 2016 model year, helps to rein in this sometimes tail-happy sports car, but it also adds 176 pounds, which prompted Walter Cho to…

PITTING THE 4C SPIDER against top-of-the-line offerings from Ferrari and Lamborghini was like throwing a top college player into the NBA All-Star game. The carbon-fiber roadster had no shot at dominating the contest, but it did score a few points. Najeeb Thomas called it “a ¾-size Ferrari, with all the same quirks,” and according to David Warner, “it’s tons of fun for the price” Inspired by the mid-engine 33 Stradale of the late 1960s, the 4C Spider displays the classic proportions and plunging V-shaped front grille that have characterized Alfa Romeo sports-car models of the past. Wanda Gierhart called it a “cute little car—retro Italian.” The car’s power is modest, with a 1.75-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing only 237 hp and 258 ft lbs of torque, but it weighs only…

Always the innovator, Flexjet has built its fractional ownership program into one of the most successful business models in private aviation. The new Red Label by Flexjet, launched last September, promises to completely redefine fractional ownership, from enhancing owners’ relationships with their pilots to creating the highest standards in concierge service to designing elegant, luxuriously appointed cabins that are truly unique in the fractional world. Kenn Ricci, chairman of Flexjet’s parent, Directional Aviation, began to develop the Red Label concept two years ago. He saw a new way to enhance Flexjet’s fractional program by assigning dedicated flight teams to each individual aircraft rather than rotating crews. A former pilot for then Governor Bill Clinton, Ricci understood the benefits of a team’s being intimately familiar with and responsible for a single…

“The most intelligent private aviation solution” is more than a clever slogan for Wheels Up, which has transformed the private-aviation landscape just two years after being launched. This is the second time Kenny Dichter has disrupted private aviation with an innovative business model. In 1999 he pioneered the concept of the world’s first jet card by founding Marquis Jet. The idea was so successful that every other national provider designed their own jet card programs to compete with Marquis. Dichter has once again rewritten the rules of private aviation. In just over two years, Wheels Up has built its private fleet of aircraft to a total of 55 and acquired over 2,100 members. Wheels Up also recently completed a very successful round of funding led by T. Rowe Price and…

When Dr. Stephen Pfeifer of Fishers Wellness Center in Fishers, Indiana first began taking an all-natural, Swiss-formulated cell therapy treatment called Celergen, he became confidant that Celergen could help his patients with chronic pain, insomnia, dermatological conditions, a lack of energy, and a variety of other ailments. Within weeks, almost all of his patients reported significant improvements. “I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am about the cumulative benefits that occur for our patients who are taking Celergen,” says Dr. Pfeifer. One of his patients, a 60-year-old woman, came to Dr. Pfeifer complaining of low energy and painful joints. After taking Celergen, her problems were not only taken care of--her skin quality and elasticity also improved to such a degree that she no longer needed regular Botox…

ON A SUNDAY morning last November at Sebring International Raceway in Florida, Ryan Ockey fired up his Lamborghini Huracán LP 620-2 with the intent of winning a world championship. The 53-year-old homebuilder and land developer from western Canada was one of 17 drivers competing in the amateur class of the 2015 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo World Final. Five other competitors had a good chance at the title, and when the green flag waved, those drivers, Ockey, and the rest took off from the starting line in a pack of howling Huracáns and Gallardos, leaving a billowing cloud of smoke. “The rain was letting off, but the track was still really wet” said Ockey (pronounced OH-kee) after the race. “Everybody was sliding around. We were trading positions” Ockey started the race…
