Let's imagine you're a person of taste, and "you desperately need a plane to match your pink iPhone," says Andrew Moseman at Popular Mechanics. The Cobalt Valkyrie-X ($1,500,000) could be the answer.
A special-edition aircraft created for Neiman Marcus' holiday catalog, the 350-hp four-seater has a special rose-gold coating and will be one of the fastest propeller-driven planes in the world when it's rolled out in 2017. "The swank isn't just on the outside, either," Moseman continues: There's rose-gold plating on the flight controls too, and because the Valkyrie has the largest one-piece canopy ever, the views from the creamy leather seats should dazzle.
