Give Your Hypercar the Garage It Deserves with a Custom Aston Martin Lair

You wouldn’t stuff your Rolex collection in a sock drawer or your finest Scotch in the kitchen pantry next to the Lucky Charms. So, why park your hypercar in a lowly garage? A sophisticated, well-heeled gentleman keeps his finest automotive treasures in a state-of-the-art, supervillain-worthy lair. 

Famed British automaker Aston Martin unveiled a one-of-a-kind design service at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. For the first time ever, customers will be able to work with the company’s world-class designers and a team of renowned architects to build a custom dream “garage” (we use that term loosely) for their automotive stable. The company recognizes that the world’s best cars deserve the world’s best garages. With its Automotive Galleries and Lairs project, it’s encouraging automotive enthusiasts to dream big.

Whether it’s because the projects are confidential or perhaps because they haven’t completed any to date, Aston Martin is only hinting at the possibilities with concept graphics. The theoretical garages in the portfolio boast high-end features like spiral staircases, art galleries, wine cellars, and even aquariums. Want an entire villa built around your newly minted Lotus Evija? With the right discretionary income, Aston Martin can make that happen, too. Essentially, the sky’s the limit. If you can dream it — and, more importantly, pay for it — they can build it.

Not long ago, a million-dollar home with a crisp, clean six-car garage was adequate to house a stable of high-end sports cars. We’re now living in the age of the hypercar — exclusive, bespoke automobiles that go beyond traditional “sports car” and even supercar conventions. This is the realm of one-percenter enthusiasts, car owners for whom only the best Bugattis, Aston Martins, and Koenigseggs will do. For such cars, only the best lairs will do.

Pricing is only available by request. Not surprisingly, every project in the Aston Martin Automotive Galleries and Lairs project will be completely custom and priced accordingly. If you’re shopping for a Bat Cave-esque home for your multi-million-dollar hypercar, you’re probably not that concerned with price tags anyway.

If building a seven-figure custom lair for your cars isn’t in the cards, Miami’s Collection Suites offers high-end, museum-quality luxury car “condos” starting at $700,000.

A Tesla owner transformed his Model X into a van life vehicle, complete with a bed and camp kitchen
Tesla owners love their vehicles, but this is commitment

Living the van life is one thing. But most of us don't aspire to live out of our cars for any length of time. They're cramped, there's no bathroom, and, if you've ever tried sleeping in your car, you know that it just sucks. One YouTuber decided to take on the challenge of living out of his Tesla. With a bit of customization and some ingenuity, he managed to travel the United States for an entire year in relative comfort.

Like all great (read crazy) ideas, Sandro van Kuijck's cross-country road trip started as an experiment of sorts. The YouTuber, who goes by Everyday Sandro, bought a Tesla Model 3 EV and tested his car camping skills in and around Texas in 2022. In the early days of his trip, he confirmed that he was getting kicked out of pretty much everywhere, and constantly having to pay to charge his electric car was crazy expensive. But he soon learned how to set up privacy screens and sleep at public charging stations to avoid detection by cops and other nosey passers-by. Using the PlugShare app, he could also find free charging stations to keep the cost of refueling his electric vehicle down.

Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup trucks get poor ratings on IIHS backseat safety test
How do large pickup trucks measure up on safety?
Ford F-150 gets poor rating on IIHS backseat safety test test.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently reported distressing news about large pickup trucks. The Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, RAM 1500, and Toyota Tundra crew cab pickups had good results overall in crash tests, but the trucks did not do as well on a test that focuses on backseat passenger protection.
How did the pickup trucks fare?
When the IIHS crash tested 2023 crew cab versions of the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra, the trucks earned acceptable to good ratings in side crash tests but didn't do well on a moderate overlap front crash test. The latter test assesses injury risk to adults and children in the back seat.

The institute's research showed the risk of fatal injury with newer vehicles was greater for passengers wearing seat belts in the back seats than for people belted and seated in the front seats. As a result of that finding, the IIHS developed the new moderate overlap test in 2022.
