Air Drake 2 design
The sleek and design-led exterior that Drake shared to his champagnepapi Instagram account was dreamt up by the late and great American fashion entrepreneur, Virgil Abloh.
Sleek yet striking, it features a sky-blue and cloud motif to complement the rapper’s OVO graphic.
In other words, it’s been elevated from a mode of transport to a work of art as a personal statement of the global superstar’s success.
More than skin deep, the Boeing 767 has been meticulously redesigned with top-of-the-range materials, sophisticated design, and state-of-the-art amenities on the interior.
The result is an unparalleled passenger experience.
It boasts luxurious seating arrangements, advanced entertainment systems, and bespoke finishes.
It’s second only to his $250 million Toronto mansion.
Drake bought a plot of land in his hometown of Toronto in 2015 before building his dream home. in 2019.
The 50,000-square-foot property’s interiors are ‘overwhelming high luxury’.
The private jet livery
We already know that Drake is one for a cheeky quip and conversation starter on the exterior of his private jet.
Case in point, his original ‘Air Drake’, featured the phrase on its underside: “If you’re reading this we left.”
The private jet was a $185 million gift given to him by Canadian cargo carrier, Cargojet, back in 2019.
We previously saw it handle landing in fog impeccably.
His new jet states: “Chances are she’s on board.”
Not to be outdone, Rick Ross was recently captured taking off in style aboard his Gulfstream G550 private jet, which he paid $35 million for.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
