Two towers rise from a shared base in Suzhou, China, then lean together at the top into a single arch — a shape onlookers immediately compared to a giant pair of trousers. Completed around 2016 at a cost of roughly $700 million, the tower became one of the most-mocked entries in a wave of "weird buildings" across China, criticism serious enough that Beijing's State Council moved that same year to formally discourage bizarre, oversized architecture nationwide.

description: "A custom-built, two-seat semi-submersible flown more than driven, with full pitch, roll, and yaw control to dive just under the surface and leap clear of it."

The Seabreacher is a custom-built, two-seat semi-submersible from Innespace Productions, hand-built to each buyer's spec and flown more than driven — full pitch, roll, and yaw control let it dive just under the surface, roll, and leap clear of the water like the animal it's styled after. The current lineup comes as shark, killer whale, or dolphin (the marlin/sailfish paint job pictured is a custom livery, not a standard option). Built to order only, at a price that puts it in spectacle territory, not everyday transport.
