#9: The Most Controversial Engine of 2025? 🤔 Coming in at Number 9 on our countdown of the year’s biggest stories: The Mercedes-AMG GT 43. When we first dropped this, the comments section went nuclear. ☢️ Why? Because Mercedes put a 4-cylinder engine in a $249,900 AUD sports car. Despite the F1-derived electric turbo, 310kW of power, and shedding 200kg of weight compared to its V8 siblings, the internet wasn't convinced. The Question Remains: Now that the dust has settled, would you take this featherweight over the V8? Follow @manofmany on Instagram as we count down to #1.

"Time is the ultimate ingredient." 🥂 We sat down with winemaker Jean-Baptiste Terlay to discuss why patience is key to creating a truly great vintage at Dom Pérignon. Do you prefer a well-aged vintage or something fresh? 🍾

A piece of Sydney hospitality history is being reborn. 🍷 The iconic site that once housed Darling Mills (and more recently Beckett’s) is opening its doors again as 'Darling Glebe'—complete with a late-night martini bar. Who remembers dining here back in the day? 🍸

Top 10 Stories of 2025: The Countdown Begins 🚀 We’re looking back at the moments that defined the year, and we had to include the bird that beat the odds. This penguin stole the show (and the judges' hearts) at Sony’s 2025 Alpha Awards. 🐧 @matbellphotography’s "Penguin Pose" rose above 3,000 rivals to scoop AUD $10,000 in gear. It’s just one of the incredible stories we’re highlighting as we wrap up the year. Follow @manofmany on Instagram for more as we count down to #1.

A ping pong movie set in the 1950s starring Timothée Chalamet? 🏓 It sounds unusual, but the early buzz for Marty Supreme is huge. It's based on the life of table tennis hustler Marty Reisman. Are you planning to see this one when it drops? 🎬

We’ve pulled together a few things we’re loving this week to get you ready for the break. 🥃📚 From new gear to weekend watches, here is what the team is obsessing over right now. See anything that catches your eye? 👀

Jake Paul and Andrew Tate Both Lost This Weekend. The Internet Didn’t Miss a Beat

Humble pie? 🥊🩹 MIAMI: Former Heavyweight Champion @anthonyjoshua halted @jakepaul's momentum with a clinical Round 6 Knockout. Despite Paul’s evasion tactics early on, Joshua’s power eventually overwhelmed the YouTuber, fracturing his jaw and ending the bout decisively. DUBAI: Andrew Tate’s (@notmasterpo) highly anticipated return ended in defeat. Facing reality TV star @chasedemoor, Tate struggled with stamina and sustained heavy damage in the later rounds, losing by Majority Decision. Tate cited his age (40) and inactivity post-fight.

It's not every day you get to launch Bentley's $600,000 Bentayga in mud 👀 We took the 2026 Bentayga Speed across a country estate and discovered a 478 kW V8 that shrugs off 2,466 kg, accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, and roars through a titanium Akrapovic exhaust pipe. Inside, hand-stitched opulence waits for the valet, outside, sports car tech waits for your inner hooligan. #manofmany #Bentley #BentaygaSpeed #luxurysuv #twinTurboV8 #offroadroyalty Images: @bentleymotors
