There’s a Pagani Huayra Roadster sitting out in the early morning sun awaiting me. Crouched like an enormous, midnight blue cicada, silent and still in the Napa Valley mist. Dew glimmering on herringbone-patterned carbon fiber coachwork. Elegant line

Welcome back, Elaine What have you been up to since you first appeared in MAXIM last year? I’ve not been up to a whole lot, besides social distancing! I’ve just been catching up on small house projects and running my business from my home. What did

On first impressions, the supercar influence is obvious, with the Icon designers capturing that same modern, sleek profile. When you step inside you’re not overwhelmed by endless buttons, switches and confusing instrumentation in the cockpit. It’s mo

The decision to allow the cruise ship Ruby Princess to disembark 2,700 passengers in Sydney despite many of them, and some crew, showing symptoms of coronavirus, will haunt Australians for years to come. At least 12 deaths and more than 700 cases of

Where to begin with Toto Wolff? For even casual fans of Formula One, Wolff looms as a giant. In less than a decade the 48-year-old Austrian has elevated his name to equal the greatest managers in the sport’s history — paralleling legends like Enzo Fe

Sensational photo shoot for your first MAXIM feature, Caitlin, congrats! How do you feel? I feel beyond grateful to be featured in a magazine I have always dreamt about being in. The shoot was all around Huntington Beach in California, USA, and it w

Some might say Zino Davidoff invented the desktop humidor, so the brand he established in Geneva in 1911 knows a thing or two when it comes to storing tobacco in an optimal environment for the next generation. And every now and then they do something

So-called “crotch rockets” are no longer the preferred flavour of motorcycle. A blind man with one ear and no sense of smell could tell you that. Today everything is about café racers. But it was not always so. And I am here to tell you that it will

If a Pink Floyd song could shapeshift into a hotel, meet me at Marqués de Riscal. In the heart of Spain’s Rioja Alavesa, this titanium-wrapped Frank Gehry-designed fantasy channels the seismic scale of a giant pink, gold and silver mushroom. By night
