Exclusive / Billionaire's playground: How TheArsenale finds extraordinary vehicles for those with money to burn
A pilotless car, shark-inspired motorcycle and lightweight jet are among the OTT machines on offer at the luxury brand’s new showroom at The Boulevard in Macau’s City of Dreams resort
It’s essentially a billionaire’s playground.
Think pilotless cars and bulletproof extreme utility vehicles – you’ll see all this and more at TheArsenale, here in Asia for the first time. The brand’s retail showroom will be open to the public from Friday at The Boulevard in Macau’s City of Dreams resort.
Dubbed “the most insane garage in the world” (we suspect it came up with the name itself, but not without reason), TheArsenale’s mission is to “connect the world’s best builders, finest brands and accurate designers with … the world’s most sophisticated riders, collectors and curators”.
The brand, which publishes an annual book and has an e-commerce business that sells everything from art sculptures to submarines, is showcasing more than 40 of its most OTT machines and toys in its Macau showroom.
We’re told that this Aladdin’s cave for adrenaline junkies will have private jets, Formula 1 racing cars, submarines, bikes of all kinds, skateboards and even artworks, not to mention there will be limited-edition vehicles exclusive to this showroom, from Ujet, Geneinno, MV Agusta, Centauri and Viba.
