Chrome-plated dash. aluminium and rubber wheels. Painted racing strips. This isn't a sports car, but a luxury arcade cabinet. French luggage and leather-goods maker Pinel & Pinel has created this "Arcade 80?s Trunk". There are 51 colours of calfskin to choose from, and even the option of either crocodile and shagreen skins. Sporting a 1080p liquid crystal display, the cabinet is packed with sixty games arcade games, including classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders and 1942. There's also an iPod/iPhone dock to blast music from the cabinet's stereo system. There isn't a price listed - probably cause this is crazy expensive. Unlike actual 1980s arcade cabinets, you might want to keep the Mr. Pib soda and Goobers chocolate far, far away from this get-up. Don't want to soil the calfskin! Pinel & Pinel via
