to choosing a two-wheeler and how to
downshift like a racing pro.

A megayacht emerges from an under-
the-radar shipyard, five marinas almost
as luxurious as your superyacht and the
world’s first Uber submarine.

78

A spacious private business jet goes into
production and aviation pushes for a
more sustainable form of fuel.

81
TECH
Sony’s ginormous 8K TV, a design-forward
fitness bike and a sci-fi-esque suit that
makes VR more realistic than ever before.
